Elvis ghetto fabulous saddle!

maybe i'll check out those PAC bags, people really rate them don't they? i don't mimd it being a bit expensive, over 100 would hurt though, a lot.

I think some of them are nearly £300

They are semi-vertical on Argos frames - I have a thread running on this at the moment... I think it should be ok - there are a few hubs and tensioners and half-link things out there.

Roberto - Is that for sale??? I want it... I'm ready to buy - I have been looking at an Argos TT frame. How much??? I'll come and pick it up tomorrow Desperate :-)

BrickLaneBikes has some incredible PAC bags - they are pricey but I think they have a LIFETIME gaurentee....

I'm currently looking at buying a 2nd hand TT bike that has semi-vertical drops. I'd like to convert it to fixed and I'm pretty sure that it's possible - I just wondered if anyone has any experience with them and can cast some light on how it might be done. Surly Tensioner? Half link? Filing?

This morning I saw a bright pink umbrella being blown down Gt Eastern Road, near Old Street in this gusty wind we've been having lately - and it shot underneath a hugh 4x4 and got stuck underneath. It then screeched to a halt and was rammed in the rear by another 4x4. Ha, their karma's collide!

velocity boy Sheldon Brown on the Harris Cyclery site says it's possible to use cross levers without the drop levers, though I couldn't find any examples of this being done or an indication of what should be done with the excess cable. There's no internal cable-end grip on cross levers, and that's the bit that would make me feel good. I flip flop and if I'm riding single-speed my front brake is all I've got. Knowing that even a bumbled install would still stop you is kinda necessary for me (says he who hath bungled several such simple tasks over the years).

I use Cane Creek cross-top levers on all of my bikes - there is no difference that I can see.

!

Jos hmm that's a long time ago. But it's brakeless and has a chrome 650 front fork right?

Yes, that's the one - it's a kind of weird metallic Celeste - i'd be interested to know if he fancies selling it - I'm looking at an Argos TT frame at the moment

I'd really want that bike, or at least the frame - how much did u sell it for?

That's a fucking sweet Argos! I'm looking to get one at the moment!

I hope they caught that prick

yes.... maybe your right actually I thought in the pic the bike was at an angle, but its a 650c wheel - that makes the top-tube very steep.

Cool, thanks. It could be.... I'm not sure though - the one i've seen has a more extreme top-tube.... I'd love to know the name of the frame-set so that I can start the hunt.

lol

Oh yes... sorry :-)

Yeah, that's a nice bike - really heavy looking lugs - I bit it's a really nice ride!

Ok, I've been seeing a few bikes around every day and I wondered if anyone here owned any of them?? I'm going to put them in order of preference. So remember, if anyone is selling them this is the order for my Christmas list ;-)

1. A metallic Celeste green Bianchi TT bike, it has a really sloping top tube! So nice, I see the guy riding it, but he's faster than me, so I can never catch him to tell him how much I like his bike

2. A girl rides a shiny Pearl White frame, looks like a Pista or something trad. in shape. It's my absolute favorite colour! I see her every day in Soho from a distance!

3. An all black bike with Lime green DeepVs and matching BMX grips on a set of risers... I see this guy a lot - a very cool bike.

Anyone seen these, or know the owners - they have cool bikes.

Can anyone list their favourite bikes in London? Maybe pics. Or perhaps u guys aren't as sad as me - so that whenever you see a road bike you check the rear hub and then spit at the deralliuer or exclaim at the number of teeth on the rear sproket and discuss gear ratio with your yawning girlfriend!

Oh dear.... Still want that guys Bianchi..... Whoever u are!

It's not the girl with the Pink Bianchi Pista with pink Velocitys that I see hanging round Brick Lane?? She looks cool..... never seen her ride the bike though.....

I'm in. When a venue is decided there should be a new thread for it so that it goes to th etop of the list and we all see the details.

£70??? have u sold it yet??

Cool, I've been looking for a good 49cm frame for my girlfriend for ages!!

Now, don't u all go bidding on it ya hear!

I have a set of Shinamo 105 - I tried to fit them to a frame that had 27" wheels, used to have weinemann calipers. I'm sfraid they do not reach!! 57mm is not enough! the average Weinemann caliper reach is 63mm!

The only opetion is to go fixed wheel, and then change the front forks to 700c ones! No need for a back brake and you can run a 700c on the rear.

RPM what's it like purchasing from roberto?
did you feel dirty afterwards? ashamed?

lol

@velocity boy
What is the name of those Sidis?? They look good, i think i'll go for them

@Rattlebag
Any news on whether you still have that 27" fixed wheelset for sale?
