    apart from paint job is there any difference between the condor and the considerbly cheaper dolan pr cursa, they look fairly similar

    guy riding on the A3 going under the new malden roundabout this morning at 7:20. No lights, quick road, narrow 3 lane road with no hard shoulder at rush hour. .

    Fuck me that's not a wise choice of road, it's very quick and narrow. I commute north to south along the a3 in the morning and go through the new malden roundabout rather than under it, you can pretty much track the a3 without having to ride on it

    Back in the 80's when I was a young lad I got knocked off by a car right outside their shop and they wouldn't lend me a spanner to move the quill stem back straight so fuck 'em

    "A man will appear in court this morning in relation to a fatal collision on Friday night on the A29.
    Samuel Kirk, 26 of Billingshurst, has been charged with driving while disqualified and driving with no insurance. He has been remanded in custody to appear at Worthing Magistrates on Monday 30 September."

    What a cunt.

    RIP Cyclist

    I felt pretty grim on Leith on Saturday, he smashed it up there as well.

    The monster.

    He put nearly 17 seconds in to Pete Tadros over a sub four minute course and broke his course record again.

    Just remembered this thread- arse! Still a few hours to enter the TT I'm promoting: the Kingston Wheelers Hill Climb on 28/9 at Leith Hill. £252 prize pot, and a class field with Pete Tadros and last years winner and course record holder Tejvan Pettinger riding amongst others. Enter on line via CTT web site. IIRC Pete Tadros won it on a fixed in 2011.

    I caught a bike thief on Friday at vauxhall station. I was across the road at the bus stop making a phone call and could see these kids gathering around some bikes at the bottom of the footbridge. One of the dozy fucks looks across and can see I'm looking at them and they still go ahead and crop the lock. One cuts it and them passes the bolt cutters to another who sticks them into a jjb bag. At this point I make my presence known with a loud "alright lads what are you doing" a bit of a starburst from them, tried to grab the one with the bolt croppers, but he's young, i'm not and he's on a bike. Mr Fuckwad lookout however decides he's just going to saunter off with a casual swagger, unfortunately for him just as two of BTP's finest come out of the tube station and they grab him when prompted. The bloke whose bike it was has coincidentally turned up and is saying how his Abus chain has been cut but doesn't want to hang around to give any details as he's late for work - so fair chance nothing will happen to Mr Fuckwad. When I left he was cuffed and in BTP's hands.

    I'm looking to offload my 58cm Dolan track frame. This is an alloy frame with 1" carbon Alpina forks and takes a 27.2 seatpin. It is not drilled for brakes. The frame was second hand to me and has scuffs where the rear wheel has been in and out and a few minor scratches to the paint on the frame but has no dents and hasn't been crashed, it's been in my loft for the last year so it's time for it to go.

    For sale are the frame, forks, headset, seat clamp and chainset / bb, the chainset / bb was bought by me and has had about 12 track meets use. The chainset has a 48t on it.

    £110 Pick up only, from sw19

    Picture below of it built up;
