Newcastle name & face to bike

Forks are fucked but my front wheel is totally fine haha. Car turned into me at the junction by the vets on Chilli Rd. First proper crash i've ever had in the years i've been riding, scary stuff.

nightmare, so it pulled out in front of you or what? is that the focale? at least the fork acted as a crumple zone....

Me pretending to be a proper track cyclist!

Not a bad impression, Matt. Although the look of intense concentration/fear is a bit of a give-away ;)

Srsly tho, props! Where was this?

Calshot Velodrome, in the middle of nowhere! Allegedly the oldest indoor velodrome in the UK and the steepest with 45 degree banking.

45degree, sounds fun

my new ride, shit picture, but who cares.

please take in the amazing quality of the bike racks at my workplace. its surprising that someone had a full dura ace pinarello road bike nicked from here 2 weeks ago right? they even had a lock from halfords. i mean come on.

Long seatpost is long

its all about shitloads of seatpost. don't want it to be like liams bike with his 'thom' seatpost haha ;)

next up, stupid chainring and TT bars.

Exact same thing happened to me in the exact same place about a month ago. Wasn't a fat prick in a silver Fiesta, was it?

Almost finished, sorry for poor pic

Is that a carrera subway zero

How did you know??

It is/was, I cleaned up the welds, sawn/filed off all lugs for the rear brake and bottle holders etc. Spent a good few days getting it ready for painting etc...

because i had one, which i killed spectacularly outside rakelane hospital lol

REST IN PEACE LOL

dear lord.

You remember it tristan. My first fixed gear lol. Its was pretty bad to be honest.

its ok steve, its in a better place now....

Errrr, what's going on?
I woke up from a beautiful dream-filled sleep and checked the forum only to find that I appear to have traveled 5 years back in time and to a strange place where elegance, taste and style are peculiarly absent.....

Am I still asleep?

Is this some kind of nightmare?

luckily the above bike has since died a gruesome death and gone to melt in hell where it belongs lol

Aye, but the spirit of it lives on in the rear wheel on yer Hardisty ;)

Only for now

Thats insane man! But nah it was a middle aged woman driving a black BMW. It's really knocked my confidence riding, but soon as I get my new frame i'll be out again.
