  • Who do I see almost every morning on my way to work - normally just turning onto mauldeth road near ladybarn - going away from wimslow road direction - purple frame if memory serves... maybe one white deep v and one red? I wouldn't swear on that though...

  • i thought she said shes gonna be watching Usain Bolt on sunday - think she said shell come thursday - use the number Chan, use the number

    i think i might hate her (though maybe it's just envy)

    "Most memorable achievement Winning the senior BMX worlds and the track worlds after only riding a track bike for 2 months"

    2 months???!!!

  • cant ride in traffic tho' ness. or turn right...

  • You: White male averagely attractive, riding along past Harry Hall's towards Oxford Road, Sat, on a blue fixed bike and short curly hair, jeans and messenger bag. Couldn't take your eyes off me.

    Me: Tall, dark, handsome, GSOH, going in opposite direction on black geared condor with mudguards in full figure hugging black spandex attire and Liverpool Century top.

    Was that you Mecha?? Think I've only met you once at the velodrome, but i remember the curly hair

  • Nice try Disrail, averagely attractive is about 5 points down the scale from my godlike form.
    Also, my bike is silver and black "the poor man's Harley". Dunno who that could be off the top of my head.

    Also, for future spots, my hair isn't curly any more, I've dropped down to the barber and now have a James Dean quiff.

  • East Bay youths pioneer scraperbike movement - Louis Bohan

    A blur of spinning colored wheels comes rolling down the street. The lead bicycle is a three-wheeler that sends rotations of color and the tease of candy snacks as it nears.

    Tyrone Stevenson Jr., aka "Champ," zigzags down the double yellow line on his Oreo-package-sporting three-wheeler of homemade urban elegance, with the Scraperbike Crew in tow.

    Stevenson wears a royal blue T-shirt and jeans to match his blue- framed bike -- its wheels decorated with blue Oreo-package clippings. The self-proclaimed "Scraperbike King" wears a blue sequined cap as a crown.

    What began as Stevenson's attempt to create the next best thing to having his own scraper-car -- known in Oakland's hyphy-style rap culture for the matching body and wheel colors -- has turned into a mobile mini-arts festival of 26-inch-tall Ferris wheels rolling through the streets of East Oakland.

    The Scraperbike Crew, a group of teens, got some buzz for their self-titled music video, which was nominated as one of YouTube's Top 20 Best Music Videos of 2007 and has drawn 5,123 views. The youths have used old bicycles, ingenuity and urban style to create an Oakland-grown phenomenon that is earning recognition from community leaders, local children and cyclists around the globe.

    Stevenson describes the Skittles bike with a rapper's flow: "Them (are) 26-inch rims with candy-paint, four-toned, turquoise, purple, red and blue." The spokes were wrapped in tin foil -- in a shape resembling a fan -- with a top coat of paint to match the frame color and candy theme.

  • I like the two tone on the wheel covers, amkes it look like the wheels are going backwards if you go at the right speed

  • mmm... candy...

    got some code red mountain dew and some hot tamales last w/e... happyhappy days...

  • spotted you today nasty, looking mean on deansgate.

  • hahaha. wasnt me. didnt hit deansgate ;)

  • must have been cross street then, or someone has thieved your bike...and your face.

    Isn't that Johnnies? Pre-Bareknuckle?
    Has he reverted to the Gazelle after the Bareknuckle-top-tube-dent incident?

  • Spotted soon: - Me! On my fresh from the painters burgundy bike! Whoop Whoop!

  • Me and Adam spotted someone on a Pista Concept going up to Piccadilly Station, who bought that frame from CasperNelson? We exchanged looks, but he didn't stop and we had polo to do!

  • Saw a bergundy fixed with a brooks outside the Met last night - was it you Mr. Eaglestone?

  • spotted - more fixed gear/track bikes you could shake a stick at - in sunny berlin ;)
