any shops in london town with a decent range of chrome bags?

yeah exactly

i've seen a few fixed wheel bikes around town with sloping top tubes. someone told me they were for indoor track racing. just wondered if anyone knew anything else about them, the history and what purpose they serve.

essbee NIce stuff - lovin the Samson, some of that stuff is way overpriced, paid less than £260 for my Naga and thats included shipping.

custom?

baked bean? thats blatant kidney bean

pip Cutting a rim is not easier than cutting a frame, the rim is under a lot of tension and would be a bugger to cut.

In SF, the bike thieves would cut the top tubes (if they were just locked like 90% of bikes, with a ulock across this tube), and then just casually push the bikes away, strip it for parts and toss the frame. The worst of the worst, would tape over the cut location (or casually place stickers there) and sell the bike as is!

really? that is fucking terrible news

i enquired for a nagasawa, works out a little bit over a grand £ with the exchange rate as it is. you have to put down a hundred dollars deposit and the waiting time is just under two years.

i am seriously considering a custom witcomb track frame - anyone know roughly how much that will cost? i reckon not much change out of grand but with much less waiting time

i'd ride it

i'd be up for a ride out of london, but no offence, couldnt we do somewhere a bit more interesting. i mean at least oxfords got inspector morse

^what is it a palace?

£500 will get you get you an excellent bike!

is that a surly steamroller frame?

take one of his eyes

it could run on kinetic energy like automatic watches

a big dark grey steamroller - say hi if you catch me on my travels. not in that thread yet mate, have to get a photo sorted. i nick a gold rimmed budvar pint glass everytime i go there

completely forgot the name. its right at the north end of the street with benches outside, opposite an italian sandwich joint. the pub aint all that but they have budvar dark on draught. its my favourite place to sit outside a boozer in the whole city. you're lucky to live round there

tried the standard ones last night and they are great - much better than the XL, easier to adjust and keep the ball of your foot in the correct position

someone told me that budvar had the most sugar of any lager - which turned me off it a little bit to be honest.

budvar dark which is pleasantly crisp and malty is available from the pub at the top of marchmont street wc1 bloomsbury, i forget the name of the boozer sorry

^nice! kestrel is the daddy but its makers are to stop producing it soon so grab it while you can. crest used to be another good one weighing in at 10%

photoben No matter how much you knock the Red stripe, it is alway infintely prefferable to Carling. I love how they put on the cans "Pride of Britain" more like Shame of Britain...

red stripe, carling, carlsberg, fosters etc are all shit. i have more respect for the tramp in the street drinking kestrel.

but corona - just unforgiveable

i dont consider myself a beer snob, just a connoisseur, the beer equivalent of miles in sideways.

real ale: hobgoblin or fiddlers elbow

euro/lager: budvar or chimay

misc: desperados tequila beer or innis & gunn (6.6% not the limited 7.7%)

samuel smith: rather drink gash juice.

that cinema is cheap for a reason. the local populace, not content with eating dirt cheap fried chicken on the bus are actually permitted to eat it in the peckham multiplex so chicken bones and chicken grease on seats all round.

i stand by it. burn it
