bloody hell, was only asking!! I've been ganging up on my friend to fix his road bike and apparently this girl has been doing the same thing.

but i agree, we need more girls on this forum, they are indeed a rare commity!

hello mate, that is a sweet colnago.

Is there a member on here called Reta (or Rita??), Finish girl with blonde hair, did the L2B. Seems we have a mutual friend down in Brighton ;)

i've got a pair of miche hubs. very pleased with them. look nice and super smooth sealed units. good for general riding if you're after high flange.

you go for it vegan. probably going to hold out and save some dough for something new.

i will be interested to see how the next london one will go. i just don't see how this could be policed. will they just arrest those riders at the front?? a complete waste of police time.

i'm assuming the other ones around the country will eventually get embroiled in this type of red tape??

i don't think they'll have much luck :)

joel. does anyone know anything about either the genesis flyer, bianchi pista or the fuji track bikes, these seem to be reasonably easy to get hold of and within my price range

pista is popular, but is a dedicated track bike

genesis flyer got good reviews and i think the geometry is a little more relaxed

the fuji is a steal at the price but i think people have had problems with the hubs stripping??

shit mate, that's terrible. fucking stretch limo's. ban them!

sw london originally, but now resident at the end of the london to brighton. smell the sea air!

jonanent, sweet design. clean and simple.

i came close to shaving my legs once, but i cheickened out in the end. felt a bit silly.

so it does have proven benefits! i'm suprised, i though it was just a roadie conspiracy.

dicki, what sort of framing is your raleigh frame. might be interested in a replacement for mine.

my photography
my music
crunchy apples
making radio
fat bottomed girls
drinking beer and ranting
being places i'm not supposed to be

oh and I quite like my bikes too

slamm, that is a nice card mate. as jonaent says, any other designs??

drool...

as roberto says, is it steel. i was kinda asuming it would be.

cable guides. and yes they can be hacksawed/sanded/dremel'd off. but you have to be careful on some frames. i've heard stories of holes beneath the stops (on fgg i think). then repaint and bobs your uncle.

yeah, this weather is shit!!!

and on the tyre front, currently running gatorskins. pretty hardy thus far.

i can see where the article is coming from but I wear a hat, always. i feel bad whenever i don't, like i'm tempting fate. i know they're not cool but my cycling cap ain't gonna do jack in an acident. i'd also say that most cyclists i know and have ridden with in the past wear one whether they're going to the shops or doing a big ride.

my view is every car driver is a potential twat so i need as much help as possible in case they hit me. depressing ain't it!

i've used both rucksacks and shoulder type bags for years. i just find that with shoulder type bags my back doesn't sweat as much.

jonaent I think some of them are nearly £300

yeah, just had a look at their site. too rich for me.

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.

This has kinda been covered before but from a different angle. I was riding home last friday and my bag strap decided to rip off. And I was carrying a bottle of champagne at the time! Anyway, I thought it was a good excuse to get a decent courier style bag.

Options 1 is a bagaboo (slightly customised probably 75-100 smackers).

Option 2 is an off the peg type thing. But what options are there?? Timbuk2, Chrome. But are any of these any good??

It doesn't have to be courier type industructable as its just for commuting, but i want it to be strong and have the good features. Any other recommendations??

dirty harry or tektro bmx ones seem popular. strong and cheap too.
