Cheers murts - insurance claim in, fingers crossed.

Cheers guys. To put things in perspective, I've just had a son - Ella has a brother! Bikes can be replaced (I'm trying to convince myself).

Sorry having read that I need to be more specific - it's a green Condor Pista, few years old now with the decals that have 'London' down the seat tube. Sure there's a picture of it somewhere on the forum. Has a black deep v on the back, DT Swiss on the front black hubs - back one has one of Wayne's WAC stickers on it. Brand new silver chain, brand new Fizik black bar tape. Fuck I know every inch of that bike & it's in perfect order, just having been serviced. Very unique and surely hard to sell w/o pulling it completely to bits. Sick to my stomach :(

Afternoon all - been a while. Unfortunately my Pista has just been stolen from outside my house. It's mint green, with Deda track drops and black pretty much everything else. Very distinctive - has a Selle Italia Turbo saddle that is attached via a link of chain covered in rubber - to stop it getting stolen :(. Please keep an eye out and let me know if you see it - was stolen in Hammersmith.

Frankie Boyle criticised for joke?

Yeah sorry I've not really read this properly.

Whilst these lights are great, it's a Tolomeo Mega that I currently own & that I was looking to partner with another.

Sorry for the time wasting but hey at least the thread's bumped...

Which shade is on the floor lamp? I'm interested - bulk discount for two?

Fuck me I'm a bit rusty with all this aren't I? £40 plus postage sounds good. I think PMing is the protocol...

OK so I just UTFS and they do come up big...However £40 for posting?...what's wrong with abusing the work franking machine?

What's the swrve sizing like? I'm buying for a normally 33" waist - are these likely to be too snug?

Thought so - that's around £70, no?

Cheers BDW

Don't understand the question. I'll be grinding various types of coffee beans to make various types of coffee - to be used in cafetiere, stove tops and a Mukka express (requires an espresso style grind).

While I'm at it, does anyone have a spare plastic top to a Mukka express? I dropped mine and it sheared off.

Okay so I CBA to look back through but since I started the thread, I'm not going to feel bad about it.

Want a reasonably priced grinder for Xmas - what's best (sub £50, so no Ibertial recommendations pls).

Jimbo - not seen your rapha clad visage in yonks!!

should try and catch up of chrimble and frighten the not-so-new addition
Deffo. Will send you a text - are you in Lahndun for Crimble?

Got my own already, innit.

Ha! I go away for, like, ever and nothing changes.

Great video 606, cheers for posting.

Was trying to get this off the 4* site but wasn't working!

Any of the fixed I see locked up at the Arsenal on here?
Depends where they're locked. Pip (Greasy Slag) tends to lock his next to the police vans - clever lad. I sometimes lock mine to his or put it in the pen if I arrive early. FYI don't lock up anywhere up the steps / near the stadium as they will bolt crop the lock and put it in the pen for shits & giggles, sorry I mean for breaking fire regs.

That's funny.. I usually refuse the guy's caffetierre offers. I prefer either using my machine to knock out an espresso or 'cino or just sending the boss out to fetch me a Buzz. :)
I dream of having a machine at work - it'd either be against some health and safety rule or there'd be a queue of people trying to use it / fuck it up. Do you make coffee for the rest of the team?

I have started a 'coffee club' at work...No more will I have to refuse when offered a tea / coffee or get called a 'snob' for not liking instant.

We've all invested in a 12 cup cafetiere and various bags of Monmouth. They're all very excited with the tasting notes and are really getting into it.

It's like pursuading work colleagues to start cycling to work :D :D :D

[bike radar] Can't be sure from the pic but looks like she might not have bar ends either. Not a good idea - can cause some pretty horrible injuries if you fall off and land on your side with your bars digging into you [/bike radar]

Whats wrong with someone who dresses as they wish riding a nice bike?
Nothing at all. But don't kid yourself that it doesn't come without consequences.

A £4k road bike and lycra will not look out of place in Richmond Park but don't think it won't raise eyebrows in Dalston. When I lived in a scummy area of MCR as a student, it was prudent to blend in with the locals rather than stick out like a sore thumb.

A lot of Nathan Barleys running around East London on their fixie fixies, ironic 'taches and wayfarers are at best insensitive to the social dynamic. This is after all Brick Lane, my friend and a lot of weatlh rubs up agains a lot of poverty.

OP I'm not suggesting you got slapped for looking like a fashion victim in the wrong part of town.

Bad luck.

Not suggesting this applies to you but when I see some complete Nathan Barley on a blinged up fixie fixie I sometimes get an overwhelming compulson to happy slap them too...

2/10 if I remember right.

Jonny on the roof of a car park in peckham, last night. Sorry I didn't say hello, you looked engrossed...
Please tell me this was polo and not some pop up restaurant...
