Newcastle name & face to bike

Yeah Phil, got given loads and might be gettin a load more. If polo on tomorrow, will bring some with me. I'll also bring some yellow pipe, just in case. Failing that, I'll bring them to RCB on Wednesday. Most of the bike came out the skip at RCB.

cheers, but im not around till next weekend now.

No worries ;)

Got myself some new drops this weekend.

Hard as fuck ;)

Nice tom !

I picked this SE Draft Lite up from Dentons a few month back. Changed the stem, bars and pedals. Still needs a bit of work. Stoked on it though.

... and Kinchley rides this.

Nice one - seen the fella with the bare frame and green rims a few times in town

Is he riding the bottoms of the pedals.. or no brake / foot retention ?

Yessssssss, knew there was something weird about it when I saw it and couldn't put my finger on it. Walking pace riding only?

nah, he rides fast, no brakes, no foot retention.

Tom,

Did I see your Lemond outside Ellison the other day - actually took a pic on the way past to E block for a lecture...

Risky game he's playing there!

Yeah it would have been, my studio's just in Eblock, normally lock it up over at the design school as its under cover.

Fuckin' damn right. Gotta see that shit to believe it ! Bomb Stepney brakeless clipless !?!

Don't actually have any good pics of current bike, but me :

What I was riding until a month ago :

And my trusty stickered up conversion, which I'm back on now :

You're right Phil, growing at a crazy rate up here !

Risky game he's playing there!

How many BMXers play that same game everyday though?
He's not doing too bad really. and he is sorting some foot straps within the next few weeks. But whatever makes him happy really.

Yeah but they can coast!!!
Looking at them pictures dont you both ride without straps aswell?

so can he til he gets a fixed cog sorted. and yeah were both gettin footstraps soon as. fuck me, if i hadve known i was gonna get this much of a slating i never wouldve bothered. nothing like welcoming people into the community.

Im sorry mbzl, wev've all got your best interests at heart though. lesbefriends

How the fuck do you stop??! :-$

Haha forum banter's great innit ? Yeah man, I just don't like seeing people potentially risking fucking themselves. Sadly lots of people ride brakeless in their first week 'cos it 'looks better'.

No problem with riding brakeless(I do) but get some fuckin straps and clips or one will die!*

*unless one's happy riding everywhere at 6mph

yeah tom, lets be friends. forum banter is such a treat, always has been, always will. I'll come back when my bikes up to scratch ayee.

Just built this for polo

that looks mint man, how much did the build cost you in the end?

i need to start a polo build, been meaning too for ages!

so can he til he gets a fixed cog sorted. and yeah were both gettin footstraps soon as. fuck me, if i hadve known i was gonna get this much of a slating i never wouldve bothered. nothing like welcoming people into the community.

haaa no one realised it was a single speed methinks

il support the brakes idea though, i thought id be geet clever and have no brakes in my first week - fucked myself up big style = no riding for a month :(

as for slating, i still get ripped for riding like a dickhead and having no lights - slatings all in the game hahaha

you should see phil about footstraps, hes been making some hardware-less velcro beasts, pretty cheap too.....
