did this not turn heads... everyone who passed by just have to LOOK at these 5 bikes.
you know who you are, respective owners :)

Whose is the orange pursuit with the aerospoke? I met you up at King X when Heather was over... You rode past us outside the John Snow last night but zoomed by before we could figure out your name. Doh!

roland bugger... was in brixton cylces only yesterday...

Think I'm going to wait until I get my frame resprayed/I get a new frame before I brave the catwalk of Bike Polo...

nah, come on down - there's no fashion show going on. Some lovely bikes, some shitty shoppers, some beaten up polo beaters, bmx'es, pursuits, the whole lot.

In fact, the only bike I wouldn't take to polo would be a London Langster. Having said that - it'd probably get the most attention of anything!

Yeah, sorry it was so brief on my part, but it was good to see y'all.

Let's do it again: little and often is a great motto.

Isn't Victoria park one as well? We could finish over that way, which is near the Polo pitch.

I can pop in for one :-) But only one..

It's always faster going South - it just feels like downhill when I imagine the map.

edmundane for me spinning is good on 165 cranks, i find myself lowering the gear ratio to spin more. i ride 48:19 now (my track frame is in the works.... again) and it feels great. if you're learning how to skid so you can ride brakeless i find skip stops more effective and they hurt your knees less.

jon: i skid with left foot forwards and my right foot pushes the pedals at the back and it works very well

Yeah I ride 48:19 now as well - love the spinnyness. Went back to 48:17 t'other day just to see what it was like. I didn't like it at all.

One thing for me is that I am a red light stopper, so really like having the lower gear for all of those standing starts.

I've got a beto with a silver cyclinder and wooden handles. It goes very easily up to 120psi and I like the feel of real wood in my hands over plastic.

cue 'wood' gags.

I am reading ' A short history of tractors in Ukranian' it contains some truly wonderful insults.

Such as: "You dried shrivelled relic of ancient goat turd."

Brillaint.

Got my ticket, see you guys there.

If I am around (not sure yet whether I will be in Munich for work or not) then I am up fior a group ride down there. Should be great.

But I am NOT entering :-)

I am cunting encouraged to swear by the shit ridden arse rammers who I work for.

maybe

velocity boy Or we could avoid becoming a cliché cycling forum and just skip the red light debate and put it down to personal opinion. Some debates have no right or wrong answer.

seconded.

I propose that every member of londonfgss should sign agreement to always respond to the 'do you jump lights' question with a different answer each time: "yes", "no", "maybe", "only on tuesdays", "23.4567% of the time on a sunday and on alternating third mondays of the month" etc.

that way we could never really get a debate going. Simple.

As for me, I jump lights when a swan is in my direct line of vision, unless the moon is gibbous.

Sorry to hear that mr rablah. Sounds like you'd put some love into that there bike.

I'll keep my eyes peeled.

Any idea on date? Winston? Bueller? Anyone?

Does the black look better than the '07 black?

Is it a blacker black?

Dammmit, I knew they were holding back on me.

What colour scheme did you go for nimhbus? Or are they keeping schtumm about the '08 colours?

Can't wait to chase you round Richmond on it :-)

candide [quote]peejay78 candide - how was it? not so scary after all?

nice bike, btw.

Yeah, I had a nice time and will defo come again. I was a tad tired when we got to the polo fields though! Thanks for the comment, which one were you riding man? There were a number of really nice rides man, especially the red, pursuit stylee one, with white velocity rims - I want me one of those![/quote]

Yeah, great to meet you Barney. I really liked you Dolan, maybe I can get a ride on it next time? Oh and keep working on thise skids - especially if we get a rainy day :-)

peejay78 [quote]Cajeta [quote]peejay78 you should have put some cotter pins in your fannypack.

or packed my harness, and maybe some reins...[/quote]

and a brick, to hit the horse with when the leg comes off mid-canter[/quote]

Keep the horse idea amongst us, until we can make it happen.

They won't know what's hit them. Polo will never be the same. We can call it: "Horse Polo" !

muhahahhahahahahahaha...

...ahhhhhhhhhhh, hang on. dammit.

I think you should make some kind of sculpture out of whatever remains of the seatpost. Whenever life seems a bit crap, you can look at it and remember that adversity can always be over come, eventually.

Or maybe you should strap loads of explosives to it and make a massive, cathartic explosion :-)

I put my bike in a bike bag and Virgin flew it to and from NYC for free. Just checked it in as luggage.

It's worth investigating and ringing some airlines to check.

(the bike bag cost the best part of $200 mind...)

nimhbus Ok, well, i bought that 20 percent-off voucher from that Guy, so i'm good to go, baby.

I have Condor Credit, and I'm prepared to use it.

voucher? what voucher? share the love...
