Last time I was there a couple of months back had just got some in, and had a couple of IRO frames in circulation as well

i was passing by last week and they had a whole display of them in the window. don't know what price they are asking though.

two words-

FREE BEER

wasn't in the mood to take full advantage of it but a pretty lady handing you a beer and asking for nothing in return was pretty cool.

after a pretty boring mass, the bmx show and trackstanding darts really rescued the night. definitely beats standing on a street corner outside the snow.

surrey docks farm on rotherhithe street is worth a visit. also cat and cucumber cafe has reputedly one of the best full english brekkies in london.

ooh can i join you? as of tomorrow i have no work for six weeks....

aidan [quote]salmonchild i was seriously considering coming down but i've got the feeling i'll be moody as fuck when i finish work.

haha i was at work from 6 till half 10 hence the shitty mood after dealing with a friday night pissed up audience.

i'm down for polo on sunday though, hit some balls then get fucked off my face.

you sure about that?

jonaent (Jon) I'm going to try and come up tomorrow to play .... I have no mallet though - will there be any spare? I prefer poloflex tubing, but really I'm not fussed ;-)

as long as there are six mallets and noone is too precious it'll be fine.

see you tomorrow to test it out.

i'm looking forward to it.

aidan whats the tubing you used? is it drain pipe? if it is i think it will shatter quite easily

nope, thats poloflex tubing. reynolds make it especially for polo mallets.

its got a graphite shaft- floats like a butterfly, (will hopefully) sting like a bee or wasp or scorpion

no dogs were harmed or glued in the making of this polo mallet.

i thought that one way to make a mallet would be to lop the end off a golf club and then attach a bolt to the end of the shaft which would poke through the plastic tubing with a nut on the other side to hold it in place. will a chemical welding product like jb weld hold the nut in place given the rough treatment that mallets take?

anyone used these products and have any experience that could help?

dicki ( julian ) paddy the wagon and terry the dolan i take it

woah! my saturday morning (morning is until 3pm for me) brain had no idea what was going on!

@kowalski- hope the dolan builds up to the ride you want.

i've enjoyed 'racing' (a bit of a strong word given my fitness levels) a few alleycats now, and have had no problem handing over the ££££s to enter knowing that i have no chance of coming close to winning.

the problem i have with this situation is not with someone wanting to organise a race for just messengers but that it may lead to many others doing the same for no other reason than prejudice against non messengers.

i started to ride a fixed gear bike because i found the whole concept interesting, now i have been riding fixed for around two years and my enthusiasm shows no sign of wavering. i do not ride fixed for cool points or to try to infiltrate the 'messenger scene' and its pretty tiring to be judged as a fake or poser.

Momentum I will come as soon as I can - I expect to be spooned

i'm down for a sandwich...
