Yeah sounds cool.

murtle, that is rank.

Can you imagine how ridiculous I would look, shaking my fist at Hippy in a pair of £105 knickerbockers? I'm seriously considering cancelling the order.

Blow it out your arse Hippy!

F*ck it - I've just thrown money at the problem and ordered some of the Rapha ones. I'll feed back when I get them, in the interim you can all take the piss out of me for being a punter. But secretly, you're all jealous ;o)

I'm in Cambridge visiting the in-laws until Monday, so could do the ride back** from Cambridge (or pass you guys going the other way!).

Or, if more achievable could ahem drive back to London and then go for a more gentle ride midday onwards. Missed the Bridges Ride so am well up for a LFGSS ride.

Re Condor: just a thought but if you spent your days selling stuff you couldn't afford w/o the discount, to a customer base that you broadly don't respect (rich, clueless, newbie - i.e. '16st Carbon Seatpost guy') wouldn't your world view and approach to service get a bit bent out of shape?

It doesn't help that there are a truck load of these guys queuing up at Condor to part with serious cash. Since most of you sit outside of that bracket, it galls even more to get treated the same way. It's like the "Flaming Moes" episode of the Simpson's where Homer says he's going to drink somewhere else and Moe can't hear him over the ringing of the till.

I'm not excusing the behaviour, just trying to understand where it comes from. I love/hate Condor (& Rapha for that matter) in equal measure. It's the nearest place and the quickest I can get the kit I want. But damn, sometimes I wish they'd kiss me when they're f*cking me (to use a metaphor horribly).

Gah! Don't want to follow that with something so prosaic but...

My name: James Thomas. Bastardised at school to: James T Mouse, abbreviated to Mouse.

When does bike polo start? When are you thinking of setting off?

Sounds like an ace idea, I'm deffo interested.

David K Nah. Work is too busy so I can't get the Friday off, and I don't really have the money for Green Man. So I've sold my ticket, and will ride around on my bicycle instead.
Green Man = Old Man. Come ride instead.

scott not scot why do people always assume it's bandwagon jumping when a brand or company collabs or makes something outside their usual realm......Rodney from zoo york has been into bikes for longer than a lot of people on here....and he's had some dope bikes too!
Zoo York used to be a great independent skate company (I was very proud of my "Brooklyn Bridge" deck back in the day) but now I only ever see non skaters wearing their t-shirts. I'd kinda assumed this was a sign that the brand had gone main stream to sell product - and that this bike was an example of them trying to get their edge back by associating with some other new 'cool' thing, not skating. If the guys who runs Zoo York is into bikes, then good on him. Just didn't expect to see a Zoo York branded bike.

Zoo York making bikes? I thought skateboards were their bag? Bandwagonesque??

sweet rims

BTW bag is made by a company called Supreme. New York skate make bit like Stussy but less played out.

BringMeMyFix I want to let him out the bag, but that would spoil the metaphorical surprise :-S

lol!

This morning I rode along with a guy on a geared road bike, clearly a 'proper' cyclist. We weren't really racing but both definitely upped the pace a bit. He passed me downhill, I passed him uphill and we started even from lights. It was really cool because we weren't racing - just both cruising fast. Didn't talk just smiled and laughed until we went our separate ways. Good fun. (However, had it been someone on a mtn bike or a bit of a fairweather cyclist, I would have defnintely dropped him or it would have been more competitive than fun - strange that).

Cool shot Ben - where did you take it?

Gah! Still at work. But what a lovely evening....

I could come straight from work but I'd have my rucksack with me. I'll drop Nimhbus a text to see where you are when I get back to Hammersmith.

Don't think your posse's big enough eh?

;oP

East vs West - bring it on!

Have walkie talkies, will bring walkie talkies.

Missed the last one (East to West = good). Deffo make this one.

So who's still up for tomorrow then? And Mashton, what happened to you?

I think inter London rivalry is a good thing. It's about time the other boroughs stepped up and represented.

East vs. West alley cat? Madison??

Can I put a shout in for Bike Fix on Lamb's Conduit St? (Near to Condor and Holborn Cycle Surgery). Good workshop, knowledgeable & friendly guys. The also get the local kids helping out in the shop and learning a bit about bikes, rather than excluding / ignoring them cos they've no money to spend.
