nice to see everyone again.

roll on the summer trixie dix, BBQ's & sunsets. mmmmmm

maybe I'll pull a fuckin wheelie by then too.

Pyjamas and a lady (sorry forgotten your name) bombing it up kingsland road last night. I alas had about 5 pints in me, so probably wasn't the best conversation. See you soon

the cheek!

Sorry I wasn't able to make it last night, I was off being a feminist:

didn't even realise I had it in me ;-)

see you all next week, boom box in hand popping a wheelie...

I've built 4 wheels, the first with a stand, the others just using forks. All have worked fine, some radial some 3x

<--- that's one of them

all I did for the ones with the forks was use a bit of tape and a bit of card to get better accuracy and flip the wheel over a lot. No real need for a stand unless you are building lots of wheels IMHO.

Just get a good radio station and a spoke key, and if you are doing 3x then get an old wheel to copy from.

I have a zaffiro on the back, it seems great. Now all I need to do is track down a white 650c for the front. Easier said than done.

of course.

I don't think it matters at all, I was just surprised I was in such a minority. Looking at the poll so far, I'm guessing the Trixie Kids are a bit of a skew on the charts.

Ok, so after Trixie Dix the other night, I was standing outside the Beigel shop with everyone munching on a lovely chocolate fudge slice.

At which point I noticed that of the 9 bicycles outside, there were a total of 2 brakes (one of which was on my bike). This got me thinking is this percentage representative of the forum, or just of the bar spinny kids on the rooftop?

So I thought we could have a poll? Let's not turn this into a rights or wrongs of stopping, jumping red lights etc. Just a simple poll so that we can see.

Do you have a brake on your main bike?

who was it who brought the boom box last night?

Yep, that was me, nice to meet you.

See you all on Tuesday, someone else bring along some beer for Bummy the Security Guard this time. By the way he's invited us all to a BBQ he's holding (So long as we bring pretty girls). He's a bit of an odd fellow to be honest sometimes.

Looking forward to the Summer Special BBQ & Beats Trixie Dix Spectacular!

Re-post! And look at her fuckin horrible nettle rash tits!

fucking hell, how old are you?

Jesus, girls and bicycles are two of the most beautiful things in the world.

I bet you're no oil painting yourself. This forum sometimes resembles a 6th form computer nerd virgin club.

Hello,

anyone have, or know where I can get a white or other coloured 650c tyre? Ideally in the UK, There was a thread here before which pointed to some US site, but even they have sold out of white ones.

Surely with the fixed gear apocalypse approaching they must be ten a penny now? No?

any clues

I'll try and pick up my pedal spanner on my way

BP

yeah there was a big ruckus at the edge of London Fields last night, yoots + guns were involved.

a whole crime scene bit was taped off halfway up the cycle track in London Fields today, must have ended messily :-(

spotted a Trixie Dix mob on shoreditch high st whilst my way to pussy galore's house, then again with Sano and others at the bottom of London Fields.

see you all tues.

Come to Trixie Dix

http://www.londonfgss.com/thread7272.html

bicycle tricks night on a carpark roof in east london every tues night. Tunes blaring out of a stereo, crazy tricks being popped all around, beginners skid lessons and come the summer we're even getting a BBQ on the go!

to make this a true introduction to trixie dix, I shall be sure to bring the stereo, mix tapes are welcome otherwise you'll be stuck listening to my tastes ;-)

see you on the roof tonight.

don't know if I can make this week with the boom box (a friend has come to stay), but I'll be back soon.

I too cant wait for summer on the roof again, did anyone say BBQ?

What bike is it, Bristly? Also that bike with the twin top tubes and flat mudgaurds was really nice.

I missed the gin too - too busy smokin cheroots outside.

It's a REALLY old Dawed Dominate:

http://www.fixedgeargallery.com/2008/oct/3/Robin@Spacehijackers.Org_2.htm

I got it with gears, but the rear wheel was a flip flop hub, 4 spd on one side and track threads on the other. So it was a very simple convert.

Ha! that was me, I still think "I woz robbed" on the bike competition!

what a fine afternoon it was, such a shame the gin ran out before the bar staff arrived. I was set for an evening of dancing and drinking at the working mans club.

Top Marks on a wonderful ride Ted. When do we get to play again???

i'm on a train coming back from Leeds, get into London at about 9pm, so may make it along later.

See you soon

you wait all fucking year for some coppers to turn up on a sunday, and then the bastards all mess their diaries up!

Whats the method of choice for riding with board then? Shoelace?

I bung mine through the outer flap of my messenger bag, strap it down tight enough and the trucks keep everything in place.

cheers, that might be worth a trip.

I'm going to head over to recycle tonight and have a look there.

I might be down to lower marsh later I'll pop in. cheers for the tip off.

has anyone been along to bikeworks recently? I know they do second hand bikes.
