it wasn't the pulling up with the arms that did me in, it was the coming crashing back down to earth!

christ alive, I am aching like an OAP this morning!

Thanks to Julio and Sano for the wheelie tips, I managed about 5m of actual wheelie at one point, Fred even has some proof for me to show to my friends!

It seems to be turning into quite a social, perhaps next week we should bring up a BBQ? Also a few more treats for the guard. I gave him a beer and he was happy as pie.

see you all next tues.

Hello,

Spotted Julio on my way into work this morning, I was half asleep so sorry if I was a bit vacant.

This was mainly due to spotting a girl called Posey and boy called Steve last night. After shouting "do a skid" at them, and getting the finger in reply, they kindly invited my gatecrashing friends and I to a house party! Top marks, lovely to meet you both!

they could have at least ironed the bloody backdrop grrrr.

I had an egg thrown at me on the way home from east drinks a week or two ago,

I chased down the car (not sure what skinny old me was going to do when the four of them got out).

right past a police station with waiting patrol car outside.

skidded to a halt, "officer, that car, silver fiesta just threw an egg at me! "

"ok son, we'll get them"

Police car screeched off in pursuit, and I tootled off home.

top evening!

when we were cleaning up at the very end we cleared up all the cans, and then found a pair of black knickers!!!!! oooh er missus!

I was thinking of popping them up on ebay to make my fortune:

ITEM DESCRIPTION - Trixie Chix Knickers, found after an evening of wheelies on a london carpark roof.

BUY IT NOW - £5000

However beigels called and I missed out on my get rich quick scheme.

of course they could have been left by one of the boys too, but I don't like to think about that.

My MP3 cassette thingy has arrived. So people can bring down ipods to play too now. Although if this means we are going to have DJ battles it goes back to old school again. ;-)

are you heading over to east drinks tongiht? I can probably meet you there if you are. otherwise i dont mind travelling anywhere, just a reason to get out and ride isnt it?

Not sure if I can make it, all depends on a few calls I have to make.

I'll drop you a pm with my number.

BP / Robin

yep mini krypto, wanna pop by the Pcc to pick it up? Or wait till the evening and meet in the east end?

so some numpty left their lock on the roof tonight. Pm me or come and pick it up from the prince Charles cinema tomorrow.

spotted outside my cinema (the prince charles)

beautiful white frame, black H+ Sons rims and black and white star grips.

very nice,

My bike is in the foyer saying hello right now.

I'll be there, ghetto blaster and all.

Realised there is a much less painful way of doing this no hand skid malarkay, so I'm going to try that.

see you all later.

I use limewire to download and itunes to play.

I actually bought a fair amount of tunes from the itunes store and have since discovered that the AAC file format they come with is incompatible with any of the Dj software I use. Traktor, Djay etc.

pile of arse, with itunes 8 you cant even burn protected files to a CD in order to convert them to mp3. Bloody useless.

I've tried that, and it works for recording from the ipod to the tape, but won't play out loud. grrrr.

I think it's going to be a case of taking the back off, cutting the cables from the tape input and connecting them to a mini-jack cable. I think the ipod nano i've got might even fit inside the tape deck too, so the whole thing could be done inside with no wires etc hanging out.

Bristly - I may have found an answer to your tape/stereo problem

That is truly a beautiful thing, I'm going to see if I can bastardise mine to do something similar, and possibly save the £195 though. Still, a beautiful beautiful idea.

cheers

i dont want to start an arrogant internet argument, but why did you get a lo pro if you want to do tricks, having risers defeats the point of having a lo pro. you wouldnt do a rally in an arial atom so why do this?

I don't just want to do tricks, it's my daily bombing around on bike, commute bike, everything bike, I just like to dick around on Tuesdays. The risers don't completely defeat the low pro, the stem goes down as much as they rise up.

and at the end of the day, I think the bike looks lovely like that and I can build a stupid bike if I like. ;-)

I'll have it! can you post it? or bring along to east drinks or trixie dix or something?

PM sent

That's absolutely gorgeous!

Yeah, I've been thinking of silver back too. I do like the leary colour of the pink against the rest of a quite polite bike.

as for the risers, they're staying for the mo, I've been learning all sorts of dumb tricks at the trixie dix night, and I think risers are pretty much indispensable for that.

Ok a bit late as I finished it a few weeks ago, but here is my lovely Pearson. Frame bought from Smeear on this forum.

It's sooo much fun to ride, although switching from spd pedals to toe clips has been 'interesting'.

the rear wheel is currently stolen from bike number 2, because I can't decide which colour to make one for this?

LFGSS saddle dangler dangling with pride off the back!

The Carriages apparently are art studios- may be utter bullshite

My friend use to rent one of them, for his film company, they're not actually that expensive, although the only way up was via a REALLY REALLY shakey bit of scaffolding.

the people in the train under his were a graffiti/graphic design crew, hence all of the changing designs all the time.

Jeez, I haven't skated for about 10 years but still have my board. Maybe we should organise a LFGSS sesh somewhere.

Sounds like a plan!

I'd definitely be up for cycling off to skate somewhere.

weather isn't looking too hot at the mo though.

I know a few people on this forum are cantelowes regulars, I used to go regularly on a monday night, and it's always a nice session (quite quiet, not too many grems).

cheers,

it was ridden pretty much as stock for a good few years, until I found this forum, then suddenly everything in my life went strange colours and more expensive. You've all got a lot to answer for!

alright then

My Fuji Track, bit of a respray (done with can and masking tape) new wheels and new handlebars.

I still love it, even though she's bike number 2 now

to be fair, there were a few moments when I think we were all worried you were going to go over the edge minh ai. Surely there has to be an easier way to dismount than bombing towards the railing 5 storeys up and hoping you can grab it to stop yourself.
