London 1st Concours d'Elegance

oh yeah can someone remind me of the ettiquette of aligning ones valve with the stickers on the rims or with the tyre ?
never quite got to grips with that ( anal retentive perfectionism )

don't forget to line up the hub logo with the valve as well while building the wheel

There definitely needs to be an LFGSS Scoble Award...

the scoble award for best grocers box / wine box / rack

superprecise one of the judges

is he a mate of yours gerald ? nudge nudge wink wink

or does he have an unfailing eye for detail ?
i was just thinking his touring mercian might be one of the early faves !

Should just make it that the LFGSS summer party has a couple of comps, best in show, anti porn of the year, best NJS, etc etc

yes and yes.

skully = judge in panama hat also

we need some people representing the " modern world of cycling " on the judging panel too !

not all people still think metal rims are a new design that will never catch on ... whats wrong with wood ?

who are the chief carbonaras on the forum?

I'm happy to judge the Ti category.

our glorious leader, dave k jong-il, he is a modernist isn't he, new builds, serotta's, new bob jacksons, new mather he could cast an eye over the new stuff ?

wheres the lo-pro cat?....surely theres only a few riders left here that dont have one

MTB's ? do you want them included too ?
would you venture up with your all singing all dancing 100 geared monster ?

yeah well, no, because it isnt Sram red throughout ;-)

I suppose there also needs to be
hub geared builds, (future bikes)
single speed mountain bikes.
single speed 29ers.
BMC 's (future bikes)
Foldy bikes (future bikes)
psych bikes (future bikes)
ok Im making them up now.

I'm happy to be a judge.

does anyone have a pair of EC90 track bars i can borrow !!

oh yeah and a pair of mavic IO's ?

friday bump
ideas people ideas
talk of preliminary heats being held at the mon/tues/weds/thurs drinks
one overall category no sub categories
which event could this be tacked onto ? tarck day / bright times ?
ideally would like to keep this sponsorship free
the main prize being voted by your peers as having the nicest bike in london
surely that is enough to sooth your ego's who needs a nice free frame and parts to encourage them

yeah like crufts, best in breed and best in show overall or something. i only ever ride mongrels though ;)

Mongols ftw
