Anyone have a busted/unusable classic frame they'd like to get rid of?
Am hoping to try an upcycling project with the tubes. A specific need would be that at least one of the main tubes is 28.6mm (1 1/8") outside diameter.

Am located in NW1 and work in central, but am willing to travel via train an hour+ to pickup this weekend.

(sorry for the duplicate, don't ask me how i did it but i accidentally closed the other thread. bow down to my technological prowess facepalm)

Nicely done, thanks for the bike porn

i was watching the new Not Just Bikes vid and the guy mentioned a place in Switzerland named Winterthur, which is allegedly the most bike-friendly city in Switzerland.

so i plopped a pin down in streetview and was immediately convinced. that's a classic build with a Columbus Max tubeset.

but i just..can't..quite..make out the brand squints harder
anyone have any guesses? it's beautiful.

Heyo, thanks for the bump! Been caring for a 95yo aunt yesterday and today so im not going to be able to escape in time to have any fun tonight unfortunately.

Glad it survived

Good fun west-to-easters, thanks for having me along.

Just got to kew, i think im first here

anyone grouping for a ride from central out west before the west-to-east ride?

hey all, today's beautiful. if anyone hasn't gone off for the holiday and are down to have a social toodle around the city for a few hours, let's go for a ride.
i'll be posted up at Carter Lane Gardens at 4p, across the street from the south entrance of St. Paul's Cathedral. i have no additional plan, just looking to explore. i'll be on a stickered cream single speed.

i haven't actually met any of you yet, so if you're feeling friendly come on out!

DM me if you want my #

thanks! standard fare then. pretty in-line with when i fell in with the bostonfixed group in '09. looking forward to being a noob again.

got a preview of the route for recent arrival? i'll likely come along

extremely valid points. thanks for the input.
i'll keep the parsnip on the road then.

What sorts of cross-eyed looks would I get/would it be safe & permissible if i set up my single speed cyclocross bike for use on a track?
This is its geo:

"camp booties"?

came across this in a post on reddit:
police did a raid and found a bunch of stolen bikes. have a look if you've had one nicked..

If you're poaching, the fresher the better so whites wont be whispy

wouldn't be a bad idea to study up on what crypto is as a baseline. this is on my to-read list, seems pretty all-encompassing: https://ethereum.org/en/whitepaper/. i've got a small percentage allotted to shit ideas, 3% of my pile in ethereum.

hey thanks for the response and the welcome. sounds like i already do all the right things for the most part, just will be taking up more risk in general with this move. i expect thieves there are smart enough to identify ti? 😅
this is my usual, nearly identical in capability to the old Bianchi San Jose.

i googled around and found a Gitane City Link (which is a San Jose rebrand) for decent money, and i'm now planning on doing a direct swap of everything from the firefly to the gitane. will be just as capable and far less crushing if nicked.

the alternative was this, but i think it stands out just a bit too much.

how concerned should i be with bike theft? i'm balking at bringing my daily drivers because boston doesn't seem to have it nearly as bad as you all do.

hey all, i'm expecting to move to london by the new year. as i pare down everything i own for the move i'm trying to learn as much as i can about gov/regulatory shit, housing and neighborhoods, and which bike i should bring.
hope to meet some of ya eventually.
