^^I think i remember him at the redbull minidrome. He was on the mini track bike i think

Think he's called Tom. We met outside the Ten Bells by Spitalfields and had a wee my bike's better than yours. He won. Didn't know he was on here though.

He rides a Colnago, doesn't he?

More cowbell!

Good fun event. LMNH must have doubled their annual profits in cap sales alone!

Who's that in the pink and black rapha / condor in post #183?

oh i've met that guy. is it john maybe? i've sharpened the image to help get a positive ID

Two of the Motorpoint team bikes got nicked after the race #thisislondonmyfriend

I'm amazed only one got nicked.. Couldn't believe how many sweet bikes were just left unlocked and unattended in the pit area..

Not sure I'll see anything more enjoyable this year than ye olde Penny Farthing race. Opium for the eyes.

The bikes themselves were straight-player-porn too.

He rides a Colnago, doesn't he?

Yes, blue white frame from memory.

spotted two rapha team condor bikes leant unlocked against the sandwich board outside the Farm sandwich shop down by smithfields just now.

the mind boggles at some peoples complacency.

dibs if you split

£50. Cash only. No pigs.

thats cray. I had my front light nicked off my bike while it was locked up there

done.

FOR SALE: Rapha Condor bike: £2000

^^that hipster cyst I gave you or a proper one?

it's actually more insulting if it's that one. it was only £1.50 off ebay as a set!

No a proper one which i should have taken off my bike but i got too squiffy

Currently using the TFL Oyster website to work out how the fuck I got home.

I got on a 35 bus to London Bridge but that was approximately 90 minutes after I left Smithfield and I have a slightly sickly feeling I probably took a Boris bike for a spin some point before that but the details aren't available yet.

Note to self, a small salt beef sandwich does not actually constitute "lining the stomach" for an evening of tramp beers. Good times.

He rides a Colnago, doesn't he?

Crazy Colnago with fluted tubes, athena groupo and shamals. It appeared to be his pub bike.

Sorted out a few of my favourite shots from the day - rest in the gallery...

That guy in the yellow helmet did not stop smiling for the entire race. What a hero!

Abandoned bikes are health and safety hazard.

The guy in the Pith helmet has a camera mounted to his bars, so I expect we can enjoy some pain-face footage on Youtube soon.

I do believe that Mr Pith is Jonathan 'Joff' Summerfield, the round-the-world wheelman: http://www.pennyfarthingworldtour.com/

Chapeau!
