I bought one off a tramp outside Hackney Tescos for £5 last Valentines day for the missus.

and who says romance is dead!

Hello all,

It's Lady Pioneers birthday coming up and she's been cooing all over the number of little shopper bicycles parked up around her house recently. Does anyone have one knocking about, or a friend who might?

Ideally something like this:

I've looked on ebay, but everything seems to be based in Edinburgh for pick up only or over in west london and charging through the nose.

I'd be willing to pay up to around £50ish depending on condition. Ideally it would be red, black or white (them being her favourite colours).

or does anyone know of any bike shops in London that might have one for sale? I've tried the usual Evans/CycleSurgery/Magic Bicycle but they only have ugly new ones for sale

thanks for any help

Bristly Pioneer

It looks like a truly wonderful day out. top marks sir top marks!

bristly better not have learnt the 'w' trick without me...... ;)

I don't think there's much danger of that happening to be honest.

I do have a new trick up my sleeve though, fuck wheelies, I never wanted to learn them anyway, honest, no really I don't.

Hello,

If you can make them small 56x90mm then I can steal some self laminating pouches from work.

I'll bung 15-20 in my bag for tonight.

I went out last night, bumped into Conan at the London Wall carpark.

I was pretty shattered though, so didn't stay for long. will definitely be up for a session next monday.

me too, I'm SOOOO excited!

Presumably this won't be attained by even the most assiduous tweed-wearing?

Or don't they take it as seriously in practice?

They've seemed pretty relaxed when I've been before. So long as you look like a retro gentleman you'll be fine. Obviously anyone wearing anything that looks like it's styled from the last 40 years is turned away.

last time I went with a brown pinstripe 3 piece suit with tank driver goggles and a beret.

I'm sure a bunch of dapper chaps (and secret chapettes) like ourselves will be fine.

You got the evening entertainment sorted Teddy?

If not, here's an idea...

I've been to this before and can confirm it it FUCKING ace! girls are only allowed in with a fake tash as it's based on an officers mess.

please can we go, please please please

You should open it up to boys who like to dress as girls in 2009. It's for a mate, like.

yes yes yes!

ahem, er, also for a friend ;-)

yep, it was me, not the pearson though, my other blue bike, with the same pink rear wheel.

The Pearson will be back out to play once I've nailed this wheelie malarkey. Hoofing up a low pro adds an extra foot of "oof" to the equation which didn't seem to be helping.

fucking hell, I ache like and old man after last night. A top evening, as always.

see you all soon, and nice to meet some new people too.

I think I may have been the only one, just didn't realise it till later!

So I assumed everyone else was from the forum, knew each other and turned up last week.

Hello,

I was there last night, I think I might have seen you TheCrane?

I turned up at random just before they got busted, then ended up wandering off with a bunch of random strangers thinking they were you lot. We went off to another underground carpark and it was ace. I bumped into someone I haven't skated with for 10 years!

I was a bit rusty at first, but then it all started coming back fakie 360 flips!

It was odd though, I spent half the night thinking they were all you lot, then it slowly dawned on me that I was the only one with a fixed gear bike. It turns out they have a regular monday night skate club organised by the skate shop opposite brick lane bikes. Still top fucking evening, I ended up making loads of new friends, and will be hooking up with them again for sure.

Shame I missed everyone here.

Wooooooooooo!!! I've just read this entire thread!!! Ha, I love u guys..... That Langster guy is such a twat on here! Is it really that guy that rides around with that pimped up Langster and the kid or is that a joke? Cause I've seen him with my own eyes...... if it truly is him......... My god! Does he really exist? He's like the epitome of every single negative element of this forum!

In fact, I feel a little bit shocked he's that offensive as a person!

I've met OOL in 'real life' and he's alright, as is his son, as are his friends. What a fucking palava this whole thing has turned into. Still, top lyricism from the boards, special props go out to Fresh who's worked some magic here and there!

See you all at the tweed ride, and see you OOL at trixie dix.

20 fucking pages, oh my.

Hello,

I've had mine for a good few years now, I've posted it before as I'm a little proud of her. she's got a new set of wheels, a respray, front brake, risers and a new saddle. Oh and my name incase anyone tries to steal it ;-)

How are the wheelies coming on BP?

lets not mention them eh? ;-)

I shall be along riding my beautiful old dawes:

Bristly, I think you're 64 me duck.

I don't like change

I can't believe you bastards are still going with this thread!

BLB sell formula hubs for £30, which are pretty much identical (probably just relogo'd)

saves on postage.

boombox guy I forget your name but was cool meeting you

That was me, HELLO!

Nice to see everyone again, I was really surprised at how busy it was considering the weather, thanks for all the wheelie tips especially the holding onto the wall lesson that crabtree and I had Top Tips!

see you all soon

-so i bough loads
=i can't find any track spindles for them, so i am flogging them

-so no - not fixed - early 1980's campy hubs all freewheel
plus skewers only

cheers
