Sounds like a laugh and I should be able to make it this Wednesday - woohoo!

Shit, so who fucked up the bridge then? Honestly, if you didn't want to ride that far you only had to say so!

How long you here for Rosmal? Where are you stayin? Have you really seen no fixed gears about town yet?!
Flickerx, if you guys are out for a spin tomorrow night you could do worse than taking a look-in at the track from 7ish - the league has ended but I'm told there may be wine and "friendly" races as well as the league results. Or Thursday night and/or Sunday morning you could rock along to grass polo in the Phoenix Park..
Don't reckon you'll find many other dublin forumengers at either event though maybe they can be coaxed out to a pub ;0 welcome to Dublin!

I know the name and the skate park where he can often be found if it's the same guy..

Do they come in waves?
A bunch of new folk come on and they are all about posting silly questions without doing some research first, then they all catch on and the next wave of new kids DO utfs, but they don't notice when things have been posted.
Can we study this so that we can predict the patterns?
How about a warning message before anyone in the nursery is allowed to post?"Wait! Make sure you really want to send this comment. Do you think this is something that someone else might have already asked multiple times? If so, don't post about it again or you will have an angry deaf bob jackson enthusiest grumbling at you.
Have you checked the date on the thread your posting to? If your inquiring about something that was offered for sale more than six months ago, you might want to wait and send a PM (when you are out of the nursery) addressing the fact that you doubt the seller has it anymore, but you thought it was worth a go anyways. Do this or you will have a cranky American woman taking the piss out of you.
If you are certain that the post you are about to submit will not cause people to create tags about you or ridicule you unduly, then post away!"Meh!
I did notice the date of the thread before posting ... but I still thought it worth asking as there didn't seem to be much interest at the time and it kind of sounded to me like the bike might be forgotten about in storage somewhere, especially with it being vintage and more of an upright style and also from the way the OP phrased details of its whereabouts and the fact that the thread wasn't closed. I considered sending a pm but thought the more thoughtful thing to do would be to post on-thread cos maybe others might be interested to know the update with this particular bike and at least an update would close the thread.
Sorry if anyone thinks I got it wrong and feels inconvenienced by my outrageous eleven word past post dredge!
At the risk of irritating you further I might add that I didn't actually UTFS to find this thread - it just caught my eye under the 'similar posts' bit at the bottom of the screen...oh and I graduated nursery back in 2008 - just been keeping a relatively low profile since!
Guess I may be in for a load more grief now .. ;p

Pencilling that into my virtual diary now!

Hi RSGE and welcome - nice to have another girl on here!
I must get a pic on here at some stage but not really needed I guess - I'm usually on a green langster (riding it fixed with drops and rocking two brakes) or sometimes my old black geared trek 1200.
Will keep an eye out trying to spot you and say hi!

Okay so, the main point would be to cycle 120k overnight and see the sunrise at the coast.
Have a kip then if you want. Return whenever and however you want. (on the Dunwich Dynamo they organise a coach and bike transport back to London and people just chill until it arrives. Others will cycle to train stations, and some even cycle all the way back to London apparently.
I've no problem doing this during the day for this year though, in fact I'd probably prefer it for the first one, getting really lost in the dark and cold and rain is not fun.
I'm not London based so I don't lurk around here that often but women's rides or issues do grab my attention.
Unlike DFGSS, LFGSS is huge and lucky enough to have sufficient numbers of women on the forum for it to be viable to give a women's subforum a shot.
As the suggested subforum does not seek to be exclusive to women but rather to focus on issues relevant and important to women (that some men might find boring, trivial, pointless, irrelevant etc) I've come a whole 180degrees from initially thinking it counter-productive to believe it has the potential to achieve great things for women and for the forum.
I would love to see threads moved or linked into the subforum such as the one on choice of women's saddles etc. It could be a great resource and reference for women in cycling, and getting women into cycling and upping their level of knowledge, ability and enjoyment not to mention the obvious social aspect and the benefits of the dynamic of women working together.
Any men that don't like it can ignore whilst women will still post elsewhere on the forum.
