^nice one cheers!

Jontyponty OK people, here's one for you.

I ride a nice bashed up and quite wierd loooking old batavus for work (some kind soul put a londonfgss card in the wheel which lead me here), but my back up bike was stolen last friday. It's a standard issue ridgeback genesis day 03 (i know, I know), with all the trimmings, sans back wheel. some fucker, whom I'll come back to, broke in the window of the garage and stole it and my housemate's ridgeback somethingorother lady bike. (Ill get the details off her). Any way, we thought no more of it, scoured brick lane with no joy, and then at about 12 on saturday got a call from a nieghbour saying someone was in our shed. again. stupid fuck. our heroic housemate sam chased one of them and called the police, got in their van and caught the bastard!

which is all well and good, but no bikes have emerged so he's already sold it, or one of his cunting mates got there first. Anyway if you see a slightly battered genesis cruising around, with a mismatched back wheel and lots of chips on the top tube do what you will, in the spirit of sam the fearless bike thief catcher.

Cheers.

I believe i may be able to help you. what colour and size is it?

jv can someone recommend me some decent but not too expensive weighted pedals that i can fit powergrips to?

i want them weighted so the side with the powergrip is always facing up, many thanks.

still awaiting advice.

many thanks

winston a length of heavy duty chain and a super-duper padlock from a hardware store will cost you about a third of exactly the same thing in a bike shop branded as a bicycle lock...

if thats what you think i hope you havent got a great bike because it will get nicked. those newyork noose/abus chains are nothing like normal chains u buy at a hardware shop, thats why they cost so much

i bet he's got it already seen it wasnt sent recorded and therefore cannot be proved to be delivered and decided to get his money back too. Only explanantion for him to recall the money only after 6 days. he's a wanker.

fixedpip Nitto NJS Pro AAs are only available as 1" quill stems.

I'm guessing your Chris King is threadless and so is your fork so it ain't going to work. If you've got a 1 1/8" threaded set-up then you're pretty much SOL on any decent stem.

What you need is a threadless stem like the Deda Pista or CKT.

yep. so would CKT 35 degree stem with shim and nitto drops work? or would i be able to change the heaset?

^maybe best to take a friend as some of them are really quite dodgy.

oh i see what he means by flipped now, how ingenious!

cheers steve. tommy where do you get that beauty?

posties are dodgy swines by nature, go up to the big depot off oxford street (rathbone place maybe, runs off charlotte street anyway) there you will find dodgy weed smoking 8.4% cider drinking posties who will sell you a bag for about a score - just walk up and ask

Steves I thought they were quill stems? How about the System Ex 40 degree flipped stem - that frame used to have one when Joss had it ....

ah yes that one is perfect steve. does anyone know where they are available and how much?

so brixton cycles has the nitto stems? i am after the deep njs pro aa - £40 on hubjub, how much at brixton?

will this fit with my chirs king 1/18 headset and surly steamroller frame?

many thanks

open collar pink shirt, sleeves rolled up, designer stubble??!!?

bit scissor sisters aint it mate? ;)

hippy Not being funny, but, can you leave them at work? I leave my stuff in the office, ride in, change. Get it dry-cleaned near work and you don't have to carry it anywhere.
Course my sh1t is just thrown in a cupboard at the moment coz I don't have any fscking storage but they can get fscked for making me wear this sh1t again.. fscking cnuts.. I'm only sitting down in front of a computer - why does that require formal clothing?! Grrr (no pink shirt yet)

could do i suppose - good idea! just embrace it hippy i too felt like a massive bellend but then i started getting into silver animal head cufflinks and ties and now i am practically patrick bateman

might get shot down by the crusties/anarchists amongst you but i need to pay the rent. What bag could be recommended to hold a suit and shirt without it geting creased to f**k?

i've seen a suit carrying 'device' in marks and sparks but i doubt its waterproof and is as big as an A2 portfolio. suggestions please.

Cheers steve. she rides a dream. i'll be sticking with that saddle for at least another week, but i have to get proper pedals on friday - might try out those powergrip jobbies - and a lock, really need a lock.

Stef have you tried tensioning it?
mine hurt until i did.

how do i do that stef? i had it pretty tight and it came loose the other day actually

i recently purchased a fixie from Steves from this forum (she's doing great steve, thanks!) and he kindly gave me an old brooks saddle as i had none. Well, now i know how that poor chap in barrymores swimming pool felt

nuff said eh.

seventh of the seventh of the seventh

surely the lord will rise?

carry on........

c

Baddaman T I'd buy it for 100 quid.

But its probs gone already.

call him and find out

Has anyone heard of these guys? apparently they make frames and I have been offered one........

many thanks

who do you guys tip to win? i fancy a little flutter at paddy power..........

^fair enough mate! you obviously love your bike, i just dont like the way the top bar is angled and the massive gap between the forks and the front wheel, maybe if i tried one i would change my mind

photoben I've been looking at some Powergrips, then you can use your own shoes!

many thanks
