hippy Yeah, looking at where it is, that's gonna be a fair amount of kays for the day. I'll probably Ribble it up.
"More gears, less tears" as winston says. :)

I'm planning on riding down there fixed but probably getting the train home, unless the legs are feelign good.

Damn those wheels sure are purty John.

Nice one, it's gonna look sweet with the grips and saddle.

MA3K [quote]millierider could some one tell me the route the mass takes?

Impossible to say. Probably a few loops of Buck Pal and around the West End.
That is the catch, it is unorganized.[/quote]

Of course, the only rule is Mornington Crescent. ;-)

I'm umming and ahhing. Put me down as a half person :-)

It's also cheaper than wappingwarrior's conversion from BLB, but maybe we should sink that conversation ;-)

Willier do a Pista - know next to nothing about it, seen one once, it looked OK. Expensive though - £700 ish I think.

It seems we are not convivncing you opf the wisdom of fixed over SS? Why not come along to Critical Mass or Bike Polo or the social ride etc and blag a go on one of our bikes to see how you get on? I'd be more than happy to swap my Condor for your Willier for 20 minutes or so :-)

Maybe it was the 'phantom user'.

spooky

hippy [quote]stompy [quote]hippy Thankyou, thankyou, I'm here all week!

unlike your bike[/quote]

The bike is still here.
I asked for permission to keep it in the large empty area in our stairwell.
They said no.
I locked it in the stairwell anyway.
Fsck 'em. They can find me an alternative or sack me.[/quote]

Oh my god: if you get sacked how often will you post then?

Hey, BTW jash - I remember you from Cycling Plus forums, I think? Welcome to LFGSS.

Beware: it's kinda addictive in here, you may find yourself not logging on over there much anymore. And your Willier may get a tad jealous when you get a lovely fixie and pay her less attention than she's used to...

Well, maybe give it 6 or 7 days to get the backward circles perfect ;-)

31trum?

I hope it was someone on here :-)

The Genesis flyer is on at £399 in Cycle Surgery at the moment - could be worth a test ride.

Also, fixed is not really that big a deal. If you fancy it then go for it; I went SS on a flip-flop hub (freewheel on one side, fixed on the other) to begin with and regret it. If I had got a fixed-fixed hub to begin with, I would be able to run two different fixed gears easily.

After about 5 days of riding fixed, and one big descent, you will be completely at home...

htay Btw- whilst out there i though of the ideal business opportunity-
In Japan, everyone who rides a fixed wants a Euro/ American/ English frame.
In Euro/ America/ England- many people want keirin bikes.
The prices are indicative of this.
So..... Buy loads of euro/ american/ english frames. Sell them to Japanese riders. Buy loads of relatively cheap keirin frames.
Bring em back and sell sell sell!
done deal.

Damn, that reminds me of playing elite on my old BBC micro. Buy weapons here, sell potatoes there. Genius.

I must admit that I sometimes read this forum as if we are going to be tested on the content, mainly due to boredom at work.

It's kinda freaky now that we actually start meeting up in real life - meeting someone for the first time and knowing odd stuff about them. This is probably new to our times.

FAscinatingzzzzzzzzz

dogsballs she or he, i'm confused now!? sorry htay, never met you.

I think that htay is male but jonnywilkinson's friend is female. But I would probably need a doctor to give the final verdict...

Sorry mate, I'm off home to see my mom.

Just noticed that we do Pentonville Rd right at the end. It's not really much of a hill but I really love hammering up it and overtaking buses.

Bring it on!

The place on Great Portland St, is it The Albany, just by the tube station?

Brilliant pub :-)

peejay78 i can't come on wednesday, am playing a gig at the borderline, couldn't come yesterday, went to big old wedding, can't come next sunday, playing gig in lake district.

life sucks, i miss my bike, the weather is changing and bad times are around the corner.

Is the borderline sold out? I might pop down...

Platini Vredestein...

Seconded, I love my fortezzas. But they're not cheap - just shy of £20 a tyre.

Obviously, compared to petrol or a tube pass they're peanuts...

kilgore_trout mashton, were you in nyc during broadway bombing/ecmc?

I sure was - best week of the year so far :-)

I take it you were too?

Dunwich Destroyed Me

Ooooooh, suits me sir!

When I first saw that Lavorro I absolutely loved it. but now, it just looks all wrong. Compact geometry on the track is just odd. Seen two of them out on the street in London and did have a pang of jealousy though. (neither of the people riding them looked as if they had the first idea of how to stop without brakes :-( )
