Welshman, I'm after an E-Lever as well, so let me know if you place an order and we can split the postage.

I have some PayPal cash burning a hole in my digital pocket, so I was going to go with some Phils from HubJub. Unfortunately they're out of 32 - guess what hole-count I bought my rims in...

Nice work for organising this gents, looking forward to the next one.

May I humbly suggest that the flying lap riders are listed in time order?

I've ordered two Mavic CXP-33s, but I'm still on the look out for hubs/spokes.

I came up to a red the other day and saw a police car waiting in the other direction, so I obviously stopped (just like I always do, every single time - safety first). Problem was, the guy 50ft behind me didn't, and casually rolled straight into me.

The police car saw this, but drove off at the green. It's a bit annoying that they fine red light jumpers, but not people who were going to run one, but used me as a brake instead and knocked me on my arse.

Nice one, might pop down, but could have to work late.

I'm very up for this - I've been thinking about building my own wheels for a while, but have been worried about ending up in a bloody mess surrounded by bent spokes after their first ride. This will be really helpful, thanks to everyone who's offered to help out.

To show my ignorance, what will I need to bring?

• Hubs, and rims obviously
  
• Spokes (any particular kind, size?)
  
• Nipples (any particular kind, size?)
  

I've just bought some citrus-based de-greaser and some veggie lubricant - if I'm going to ride a bike it seems like I should try to avoid crude-oil based products if I can.

Problem is, they might be shit. I'll let you know.

Are slick 23mm tires OK, or will I be picking myself up off the floor at every corner?!

Record Ace, turquoise. It has to be tonight though.

It's not in great shape; some rust, a little dent, broken cable guide... but it could maybe make a beater or polo bike.

Would suit 6' - 6' 2" rider. The only problem is that you will need to come and get it tonight as I'm moving house - it's very near to Brockwell Park.

The bog standard Amsterdam-bikes can be had for 200 Euros - pop over there, spend £200 on beer, food and ferry tickets and you've spent the same money. Just a thought.

OK, sounds good. Anyone mind an unfit neverwasenger tagging along? I'll probably be in the country then anyway, so will ride down from Haarlem.

"While most competitors are bike messengers, events are open to everyone."

Is anyone planning on going to this? I'm not a courier, but I'm going to be out there around that time anyway. If there's a London contingent going I'd like to tag along and have a go at the race...

I was in Norwich for my first 23 years, now in London. Am I going to have to defend it all by myself?!

I meant to mention those pics, they're by my flatmate. I have a lot more on a CD if anyone wants them.

Cheers for bringing a spanner Hamster, loving the pedals. Embarrassing slo-mo fall count: 3

I'll be popping along - will anyone there have a pedal spanner on them?

I just got my first clipless pedals through the post, so I'm hoping to get them on and see if I can clip/unlcip without any embarrassing slo-mo falls.

Are frames up to hanging from dropouts like that?

I just got home, and I've never felt so relieved to have a hot shower and jump into bed.

I left just before Kings Cross and went to meet a mate in Camden - made a big puddle on the floor (only rainwater) and attracted a lot of stares. Didn't realise how cold I was getting though, and had to ride back to Brixton.

Great ride, despite the weather, cheers to the people who organised it.

How a-moo-sing!

Thanks, I'm here all week.

Can you not get the cash in some way?
