I just wondered because it's such a long damn ride from Uxbridge to anywhere in central London and then back! I'm curious to know how many of you guys have really long rides into town? Sometimes I end up taking the train part way back. Just to tired after work to do it sometimes.

tired or can't be bothered? how long is long?

why you livin' there? why not in hackney or somewhere else where the fixed kids hang?

i have a spare Chater Lea 50t eighth pitch chainring i bought for the holdsworth then opted not to use. in the unlikely scenario that it is just what someone is looking for, PM me. pic showing back of chainring. ring has CL all the way round. very tasty. not hundred percent sure of BCD.

i love those centaur BBs.

cheap and good.

In light of that F*ck You all ;-)

Six! Seven! Go to Hell or go to Heaven!

GOOD! that's the spirit!

there was a girl at school who used to rock 'the lampshade'.

if a hipster rides brakeless in the new forest and no-one sees, does it spawn a thread?

just what the world is waiting for, another fixed gear site for urban creatives to whack off over each other's bicycles.

you'll be lucky to find any form of humanity, let alone someone riding a bicycle, in london's suburbanhuman uxbridge.

yes - therein lies the contradiction - so agreed. damned if you do, etc... the endless paradoxes of advanced capitalism. we're defeated before we even set out the door.

did i imagine it or has the forum actually eaten itself?

Double hard-on bars, deffo Gest's bike...

how's it going sugary baps?

from your toothless mother. i insist she talks. it's rubbing off on me.

inveerse, mike, get it right.

interesting point, lethal cunt bag (ⓒmurtle).

but seb - that fact that you're asking should be setting off alarm bells.

what, that one ^, up there ^?

it's a hipster wet dream, and totally wretched.

are you calling yourself a racist? that's very noble. well done.

+1 on that - I've had the DVD for a couple of years and make sure I lend it to as many people as I can.

I made the mistake of watching that and 'An Inconvenient Truth' on the same day and nearly stuck my head in the oven...

the corporation is one of the most boring films i've seen.

michael moore films and al gore's hymn to mother earth both serve the same purpose: making people feel like the problem lies elsewhere, and that by somehow watching the film they've made a difference; they come out of the cinema, spouting platitudes, in a facismile of dissent, get back in the car, go home, before voting for the very people who are intent on destroying the mechanisms for life on this planet, killing the poor and waging war.

i think you need to enlighten up, personally. and i think it's also about time people who work in high finance had to defend their conduct. fuck me, i work in the public sector and have been listening to cocks mouth off about 'public sector wastage' vs 'private efficiency', and 'competition is inherently good' for years: step forward digby jones, lord chief of all the cocks, chair of the CBI for some time; bemoaning the lack of literacy in school leavers. well, if i wasn't so busy responding to morally bogus requests to teach the young about 'enterprise' and the 'world of work', maybe i'd be able to teach them to spell their names instead.

so anyway, my point is, well done for defending yourself. personally, i find some of your arguments in this thread problematic, and they seem to stem from a defensive need to justify what you do. it's not nice being attacked by people, so you have a degree of sympathy.

you could leave them on, that way when the old geared bike revival comes round in about 5 minutes, you'll be well-placed to convert the 'fixie' you found on ebay.

who knows, one day you might ride further than five miles and find that braze-ons are quite useful.

less of the bad mouthing camberwell.
Ive lived there for over 17 years and i love it!
as for edwards - utter shit, numerous bad experiences and almost no good (except perhaps one years ago).
Went in the other day to see if they had any NOS chainrings with long spiders for older style crank arms...they told me that they weren't made anymore and may aswell give up on the idea of finding one and should throw the crank arms away!!!
obviously they've not heard of the internet.
throw them away!!!! i couldn't fucking believe it.
Camberwell rocks tho!

what bastards for not spotting the revival in specific new old stock and getting it in for you personally.

if you've heard of the internet then why are you going into edwardes to get a shitty cottered or whatever knock off crankset?

i quite like the feckless posts. they give us all something to think about whilst reaching for the pitchforks.

that bike up there ^ is pretty vile.

it's not the nicest holdsworth i've ever seen

;)

a friend of a friend told me you can inverse shim a 25.4 stem up to a 31.8.
