Ah that's good, was considering giving 101 a ring - hope they actually start enforcing the order soon then! It's a bit of a shame cos all they really need is access to a skatepark or smth and they'd be sorted, but does make that section a fair bit more unpleasant. I like to give it some beans and stare them out so they know not to mess with me - worked so far

About the umpteenth time I've come across some kind of bikestormz-esque gathering in the Castle Baynard tunnel on CS3 (just after Blackfriars). Tonight there were two pimped out cars there too and some fellas fiddling with a drone - might've just come across a video shoot for some kind of hood video..
Anybody else come across the youts hanging out here? They've never given me trouble or aggro, just a bit unnerving everytime I do just in case they decide it'd be funny to try taking me out - saw a vid of similar on the dynamo ride last year.
Aside from that, lovely tailwind east-west this morning, felt like I was floating along

Morning all,
Unfortunately another bike to add to the list: A Charge Plug 3 with disc brakes. It's distinctive as the BB has been replaced for a gold one that matches the frame (cf. the stock one which was black).
Stolen from a colleague's back garden in the middle of the night a couple weeks back near Boston Manor in West London - I've only just returned from a holiday and they told me just now, so thought here might be a good place to get the word out!
Cheers

Price-drop bump -> £375
Willing to drop to £325 by swapping out the Specialised saddle for a stock giant one (pictured in the link above) - taken off a brand new giant propel
This is the lowest I can go before posting elsewhere - would definitely prefer to trade here than risk facebook and ebay :(
-
Still about: price drop down to £400

Just the one in the description - bike slid out from under me on a surrey lane, going down on the right hand side. Derailleur hanger took the brunt of it, but the shifters got scratched up cos it was a rough stony road surface. This was back in 2013 with no symptoms or further damage since - replaced the hanger and have a spare just in case which I'm happy to chuck in too.
Suprisingly amicable call-out this eve near Westminster. Trackstanding at the lights when just before they go green someone comes past on my left, easily within front-wheel hitting distance (if I'd had to re-adjust at any point they would've taken me out). I grumble "fkn chopper" and give the old over-the-shoulder glare, holding it for a good few seconds to make eye contact. Cue shouts from him "were you talking to me?! if you've something to say to me then say it!" At the next lights he asks me what my problem is and I explain that he had no idea of my intended direction and was a risky move to carry out. I expected an argument but was pleasantly surprised when he admitted he was at fault and told me he'd actually had a similar argument the other day about being undertaken. I apologised for being passive-aggressive and he apologised for being a wally. Not used to people responding to the stare, but in this case it helped educate someone rather than leave them wondering why Mr Lycra is so interested in their face
