Spotted in Manchester...

"stop that, its filthy!"

Probably my housemates purple Dolan, pruple rims? out of place brown saddle?
He's Bajan on here

Nar, it was definitely a Leader and I think the rims were black or silver.

off duty police pulling me over to issue aggressive telling off for "dodging in and out of cars" (worth bearing in mind at this point i was riding a surly long haul trucker with a heavy pannier on the back - not sure how much dodging i was doing really!).

and nes, i saw you outside edinburgh cycles last week some time, sorry i didnt really say hello, i had just been wandering around inside with one shoe on as my shitty shoe had fallen apart on my way home, was a bit confused at the time.

yeah you seemed a bit confused and i was in mid debate about a cable hanger...hello x

seem to be a shit load of fixengers up in MCR these days. Including a nice Cream Surly steamroller, an older guy on a pashley guvnor (with one of those £400-odd brooks bags!) and a guy riding what looked like a black Dolan track frame, but somehow with a back brake? Must have been drilled.

Definitely more than I'm used to seeing up here.

Up for the day visiting my gf — will be around and about this eve, say hi if you see us. Though I'm around quite a bit.

She rides a lovely red benotto with white drops and I'm on a silver/black gazelle track frame, black drops, black deep v's.

You might also have seen me riding a black IRO with risers in the past.

Is that Benotto a single-speed? Saw one locked up outside my uni.

That Steamroller didn't have blue rims on it did it?

Tall guy, lots of hair, on DMR that looked to be worth about £120, was just about the right size for him, two polo mallets sticking out from bag, Cornerhouse, 12.45.

That's not a Steamroller that one.. saw it locked up at lunch, it's some conversion painted cream...

I saw that same guy, although it looked a bit small for him and only worth about £80

spotted: cat on fg conversion with sheriff star hubs... i cried a little after seeing the front flange damage...

sheriff stars on the road! ye gods! dont they explode? or is that what ur trying to tell us?

ben, are you drunk?

no just desperately, unutterably bored of sitting in the library. Anyway iv definately heard that sheriff star hubs are not to be trusted 'on road' ya 'ear me? blud

oh dear this place is fucking with my mind

sheldon brown (rip) had an exploded sheriff star on his site

contemporary campy hubs are for track use only. rtfm

A road-used sheriff star hub pictured recently.......

would the torque of track standing starts not do more damage than your average road use or is it the vibrations or something?

i thought it was pot holes etc.
