Sounds like fun. By who?

Camfskingpag headsets that never stay tight, saddle sores, not being able to watch pr0n when the gf's around, people who think they're faster than me, people who are faster than me, the fact that i should be in bed now but i'm typing this crap and i'm gonna be even sh1ttier tomorrow because of it, having a memory like a sieve, being the sexiest guy on the planet but remaining faithful (i slipped that in for some light humour yeah? success?), wanting to drive a ferrari at 300kph but not doing so because i'm a 'bike person', picking fscking grapes for cash, leg warmers that fall down, hard drives that fail, pop music, r&b, c&w, pidgeons, brain disorders, paying over-inflated prices for concert tickets on ebay off fsckers that were never going, looking like a dag when i ride because i don't like doing the rolled up jeans hipster thing and am more roadie than trendy, stuffed toys (that aren't mine), excess packaging, not having a recycling bin, junk mail, damn! forgetting to swap trashed tyres phew! but realising your doing a tt on your road bike tomorrow so it doesn't matter..

Fixed. Innit.

le car If this is bike porn it's the equivalent of a video of overweight grannies doing a threesome with a hairy dwarf

Damn.. you beat me to it!! I guess I should read the whole thread before commenting! Nofair! :P

Fixed gear Softrides!

If this is the bike porn thread then the Softrides must be the fat chicks. Eeew!

Smiffy (that's MrSmith in 'strayn): I need some shy shorts and was thinking about Endura Humvee's coz they're cheap(er) and not so bad. Where'd you get the sugoi liners? Also, do Sombrio do non-lace up shorts? I don't like looking like I'm going for a surf..
Really need to get into some shops and look at these. Fsck they can be expensive though! I went into Evans for a tyre.. £20 cheapest road tyre? Fsck off!

I can't see any of your photos aidan..?

I've asked this on C+ but I'm gonna ask again here anyway - so kill me - you're all on broadband anyway!

If I don't have an entry for this London to Canterbury ride, what's stopping me just going to the start and following everyone out.. all the way to Canterbury?

I travelled with a Speedo chamois towel. Packs down to jam jar size and dries quickly. Obviously not as nice as your £20 plush luxury jobbie..

dicki there was some conversation on fixedgeargallery about classic frames being wrecked by people taking of the braze ons off. the gradual fixification of old colnago / cinelli frames leaving very few original bikes out there with their durallier hangers cable guides etc
if it's a classic / nice old frame it might be worth putting up with those bits

On the other hand, if it's a crappy Apollo, do as Dj Rush says and "Grind it baby!"

Fixedwheelnut Whats in your saddlebag? too bloody much

You carry this around town?!?!?! Fark.. I spent 4 months touring with less stuff :)

Have you seen the guy from On-One and his finger op??

Also, what about a londonfgss google calendar? Add events as they appear and make it public.

How did you get that date? When I searched for it I got 09-04-2002 in the search results list.

Also, if you wanna get even more nerdy and look at the page source of the article (I REALLY don't wanna work today!) you will note that the images are all in a /2002/ subdirectory.

Oh and I hate paying for bendy buses and then watching 20 other people get on with swiping their oyster cards.. ;)

I am 'the' hippy not 'a' hippy. There's no peace with me - it started as a long hair/stoner look thing.

Oh, I didn't even mention the tube, or waiting for buses, or.. or.. :)

TheBrick Dose it count for audax randonnee?
Also two little question for you people who do lond distance rides.
Are lycra shorts better than some normal shorts with these padded undershorts?
This butt cream stuff, are you ment to apply it beforehand kind of like some hard core e45 type cream?
Sorry for stupid questions but I never ride much more than 50-60 miles in a day (when I am seeing diffrent people erron running) and that is never in one go so I have never had any problems with my normal shorts e.t.c

1. Well it's not run under AudaxUK rules so I'd guess 'no' but that's my guess.
   
2. I reckon knicks would be better because you don't have the seam that 'normal' shorts have running under your soft bits
   
3. Yes, the cream is applied before you ride, although I've never used it myself and find the thought of having that mush in my knicks kinda gross.. oh and I'm fscking 'ard and don't need that girlie stuff (not) ;-)
   
   

Your butt is gonna hurt no matter what you do until you get used to riding those distances. It will hurt less with proper postion, proper saddle shorts and possibly the butt cream.

MrSmith: I echo your last two points (although 'cino not macchiato) but don't have a TV so dunno about the first one.
What else.. Letsee.. airfares to Australia, airfares to anywhere at xmas (especially Australia!), waiting for clothes to dry in cold weather, changing skidded out tyres knowing I should just stop fscking around and save the rubber, all cars within 20k of London, all cars with one passenger and no goods on-board, people with more money than me, having no showers at work so I have to sponge down and change in a toilet cubicle, surgery, shite Aussie beer, football (AFL and soccer and bum sniffing), people who steal stuff, taxes, property prices, property talk, taking 3hrs to get 10k to Heathrow by pubic transport, tight undies, english people correcting me whenever I pronounce anything like an Aussie, my own lack of motivation, the lack of pancakes in London, bendy buses, airport security procedures, mess (even though it's my fault), the fact that I have 50 things to do at work and yet I'm typing this huge list instead! I think I should stop now.. maybe see someone for some professional help.. ;-)

31trum maybe he shops here

If you ever end up living in Oz - Phantom Cycles are great! Highly recommendedededed!

RPM I'm selling minimalist top tube protectors like this:

£120 each. bargain

Do you work for Evans or Condor? ;)

velocity boy: Those Michelins are race tyres yeah? They're not meant for riding around town on. Try some Vittoria Rubinos. Or is it just coz they is yellow? :)
My tyres are almost through the canvas and yet no p_nct_re. Must be due for one tonight then!

How can you lot complain about the rain when you live in Lonond?!?!

Alex What about mudguards? Do those little numbers that attach to your seatpost work? Is it does anyone like any specific brand or model? Most of the ones I see seem to tbe the fat MTB type.

I use the 'rat tail' type on the fix because full guards wouldn't fit (track bike). It stops you looking like you crapped yourself and keeps your bag dry but other than that, everything else gets wet. E.g. I rode to hospital this morning = dry. When I left, without mud-guard, my arse is now looking like I sat in a puddle.

I know you didn't just type them out.. which means you googled for the exceptions. Nerd! (says the guy who just bought a 300gb NAS and spends more time with computer than girlfriend and bike combined) :P

These would be what you are talking about, on LCS:

Anything in 56cm Jos? The Raleigh bores me (oops, i'm gonna die tomorrow now I've said that!)

Are you doing just fixed gear stuff?

I hope they don't catch the guy.

No, actually, I hope that Mr Sokol gets to break the pig's fscking scull open in some back alley.

Angry? Much?
