i know the ride sounds fast but it can be broken down, streatham to brixton is 5 mins then another 5 to elephant then across blackfriars to smithfield is another 5 then up st johns to angel is another 5, obviously some bits take longer than others so they arnt exact times in between. i mapped it out on gmaps and it was 13km not 14, id like to stress it wasnt like 22 on the dot, just when i stopped my mp3 player which was podcasting for the whole time, also i dont know where the 38km/h comes from because when i worked it out i got about 32/34 km/h

i have seen jonny ride, and it is true what they say about his dance/spin technique.

it was mid afternoon and there wasnt much traffic, but i was pacing it pretty much constantly.

what does stfu mean?

and i wasnt on my fixed, so that might have helped.

streatham common to angel tube station : 22 mins.

the longest skid

why did he not re use those hubs, they are campy record track arnt they? also, i think the only improvment that he made with his upgrade was swaping stems. sorry for bringing up this bike again.

pretty weird, a while ago there was a video of a guy hitting a woman off her bike while she was riding along the road he just came out of nowhere and clothes lined her, it was really disturbing, it was on the news.

the thing that makes the panasonics look nicer than other njs frames is the crazy space age drop outs and seat post lugs, they just look like somthing out of star wars.

shame about the prices.

where are the panasonics from? do you have a link?

i dont think its a ron cooper, he left gillott in 1967/68. plus i thought he only did lugged frames, hes now doing stuff for the witcombs apparently, so you could take it there and ask him.

im not sure if this has been up here before.

anywhere south of the river your pretty much fine for jumping lights and getting away with it.

you cant be arrrested for being drunk on a bike, and they cant legally breathalise you either, they have to ask a doctor to make an assesment, the exact wording is on another thread, try searching comments for something like "drunk bike law".

i took some pictures of the herne hill event,

im goning to put some more of those up on the herne hill thread, check out the chainring as well

nice

oh dear

glow [quote]danger joel 650 front wheels are gay.

indeed they are, i ain't got one. and there not as gay as jumping "sweet" 5 sets on road frames[/quote]

theres nothing gay about jumping about on a road bike converted to a fixed wheel, all i was saying is that it doesnt matter what he puts on the frame or what it looks like, you guys seem to take pleasure in ridiculing hipster sterotypes but then take equal pleasure in laughing at anyone who cant be asked to put all njs components on a keirin bike or whatever.

what frame is that? i saw it down there today and it looked like it used to take 27inch but now has 700s,

650 front wheels are gay.

i thought it was ok, nothing they said wasnt true, and they were some of the first to use track specific fixed wheel bikes on the road, didnt most beofre just convert their road bike with a new back wheel or use track/path bikes with a lot more relaxed geometry. and that stuff about the components, well its not exactly untrue. what does the bike snob say?

just heard, "freewheeling is for wimps!" sounds good.
