hippy Until 14 of the 16 bail because they're scared of rain or they have to scrub their undies or something.. :P

I know i was mincing on about the weather but I'm in...come hell or high water...

...which baring in mind the current flooding could be a real possibility

The forks are much better on the planet-x version. the forks on the on-one just seem out of proportion.

I like those deep section rims above!!

And its alumimium...I don't doubt its stiffness but its ugly.

I don't really like it. And the angle of the bars is wrong. If they were a bit flatter it (may) improve it a bit.

i think i'll take your advice.

sorry!

I had a vice but i left it in miami...it was my miami...

Wasn't close enough...but I think it had drops.

hippy I break headsets, you break bars.. everyone needs a vice. :)

You break headsets with a vice? What's wrong with you man...can't you break them like normal people...riding along ;-)

hippy
JimmyP: Thanks for the seatpost!

No worries fella...hope it works out for you.

I have...for the last two days in a row...seen a girl on a butter coloured SS (I knew is was SS cos she was coasting) on Threadneedle Street EC2. Frame looked really nice but was v.small. I wasn't close enough to ask anything but she was with a guy riding a geared bike. Anyone seen her?

edmundane personally i dislike the surly ones i think they look horrible.

...and they cost £40 a pair which is plain ridiculous!

I'll bring it in tomorrow. we can work the pintage out at some point. no rush. i'll drop you a line at some point and i'll wander over to broadgate circle.

[cite] hippy:[It says micro-adjust so it sounds like it'd do the trick. It's long enough and at a pint, cheaper than the ebay one and it's recycling, saving the planet. Beaut!
Whereabouts are you JimmyP? Perhaps I could pick it up sort out your pintage?

Got the fucker. Its brand new...not a mark on it. Came off my old Kona Kula Deluce. Not the lightest or the prettiest but what do you want for the cost of a pint ;-)

I'm good for a pint in Westland tonight if you want it that soon - anyone else on for a pint?

The leafiness (AKA Chiswick). I've gotta find it. I'm pretty sure I know where it is but I moved recently and most of my bike spares are boxed up. I'll be home around 7pm tonight. We could organise a west london drink?

Alternatively, I work in the land of the pink shirted ones (Old Broad Street) and could bring it in tomorrow.

Hippy - Its this. Single bolt but lets you tilt the saddle http://www.eastonbike.com/PRODUCTS/POSTS/post_ea30_'06.html

Is this what you were thinking of. Its definitely 350mm. Its yours for a pint.

How very dare you!!

Hippy...how long is long? No smuttiness intended :-) I have (somewhere) a 27.2 350mm Easton EA30 seat post. It came off a moutain bike where seatposts tend to be longer. Its black and pretty no frills.

You can buy em for a pound on the night.

It was the British Heart Foundation thingy...well the outward journey was. It was generally fine but included these detours for rest/food stops on some strange sort of dirt tracks and grass paths. Fine if you are riding your mountain bike/hybrid things but terrible for 23mm tyres on a fixie. Uncomfortable and, in places, a bit dangerous. Needless to say, I didn't use them on the way back.

I should have the route on GPS...though I'd want to make some minor modifications to avoid the crappy footpaths. I'll share with whoever wants it once I've cleaned it up.

Oh yeah...there's plenty of really nice pubs with gardens along the way. It makes a good ride.

Went with a friend and his son. We cycled from just outside the M25 to Cambridge. I cycled back to Chis on my own. Took me all day...though we stopped for lunch and variously along the way...came in at just over 120 miles. Its quite a good ride actually...not too hilly and the countryside is very pretty.

Good Dunwich Dynamo training :-) Looking forward to it!

Ordinarily i'd be a yes but i rode to Cambridge today and I'm knackered.

I'm in Chiswick.

Not sure how you get petroleum jelly out of your shorts...perhaps he doesn't want to ;-)
