Cycle Show 2010

if you are short on images, why not just double the size of the ones you have?

we're not short on images :)

3x2 too small for a photo wall though no?

3x2 is perfect - granularity, innit

We need volunteers please for wednesday evening to help put up the wall!

3x2 is the "wallet size" prints you see on most sites... only problem is they are printed on a 6x4 and you can only (from what i have seen) have the same image 4 times.

I can only attend Saturday/Sunday, but am keen to help setup and can bring my polo bike along if you want? I could add a front disk? Boo.

So to clarify, if you're not listed as a helper but are listed, then you should help whenever you can?
Since I'll be coming I can also bring my polo bike, if you like.

Or not is fine as it'll take me ages to get there!

I can polo rep as and when needed also.

I reckon your bike is more what they're looking for to be honest, mine is a little devoid of personality/stickers/scrapes at the moment.

I can do the days you don't if you like, there's room for 4 different ones if anyone else wants in.

love yr bike joni

As I mentioned to Rourke, as flattering as it is and as tempting as it is, there's a clear plan this year to NOT have a bling bike.

Instead the point is to showcase the community, warts and all.

The Cycle Show 2010 guide says that manufacturers are only allowed to bring down next seasons wares and to bling them out. Old products can't be shown.

As we're pretty much the only entity that isn't a manufacturer or selling something (except, ephemerally ourselves)... we have the opportunity (which I'm seizing) to put up bikes that have real beausage scars. Bikes with chipped paint, bikes that get used daily and whilst being a bit batterted still show the love of their owners.

And that's what we're doing. We're not putting new bikes on the stand, we're putting bikes that are people's daily workhorses on the stand.

We're showing people that the bling doesn't matter, that it's about the zen of riding one gear and the aesthetics and reduced maintenance that comes with it. We're showing the essence of cycling with none of the bells and whistles (or gears, or bling).

So it's all very flattering and extremely tempting, but putting up a perfect 953 bike painted for the occasion is a long way from why the stand is being put together.

Hi David, I read your post with interest. I have sat and resisted replying several times but after consulting an independent opinion here we go. I have no problem with the message you are trying to convey with the content of the stand but I take issue with tone of this post. I PM'd you prior to this post with suggestion and received no reply and so felt I had to post on the thread. If you had taken the time to reply you might have realised that the project actually met many of your theoretical goals but in a thoughtful progressive approach as opposed to the simplistic trend following that is all too often extolled....... I'm sure you you recognise this: http://www.lfgss.com/thread1790.html

I love your work....generally.... but you are off-key here.
Cheers, Eddy

This event looks like it would suit lfgss a bit better. Other than it's in Bristol rather than London!?! www.bespokebristol.co.uk

Over sensitive.

I can't quite figure out what he's trying to say?

He's upset that Captain VB doesn't want his bike, although VB was replying to Rourkies offer.

Interesting stuff, indeed.

I'm sorry, maybe I've just got back from Easts slightly tipsy and I've missed something, apologies if this is the case.

BUT. David has put a truly substantial amount of his own £ into this as a project and he's being criticised somehow despite the fact he bought a mather?! And telling him what event he should go to?! WTF?!

Fuckety-bye-bye then!

To quote Malcolm Tucker.

Fasteddy he's probably a busy man, what with having 20,000 forumengers to deal with.

i'll put my polo bike on the stand on friday!

I'm certain he's not ignoring your PM Eddy, he's more busy than normal trying to set up this cycle show stand. Give him a chance.

Thanks for the relink Ed, and the bike rep SkyD!

And for the record, I don't find my own bike suitable for representing the community. Not least because it has gears.
