dogsballs [quote]haj yah... i think i payed 22quid for a single 290TPI Open Corsa CX in Denmark.... that was in black though, but it's a damn good looking black tire ;)
(only using it for the front though, a bit expensive to skid on, so using Rubino Pro on the rear)

i've got solid white one of those on the front of my polo bike and use a cheapo rubino on the rear as well :)[/quote]

i put a rubino on the reat last night. did a wheel spin off the lights this morning, it was wet but do they normally slip that much?

Just Fucking stupid!

Love Shane Meadows! Don't forget 'A room for Romeo Brass', its as dark ("Lets see ya go dark on me now") as it is funny.

joachim Hey,

Interesting thread to pop up just now as Monday night a bus driver on oxford st tried to run me off the road. Not like he didn't see me or anything I was riding smoothly (not over taking or anything) and he was tail gating me for a distance first, then as soon as there was room on the other side of the road he pulled along side and the moved left as he looked at me out the front passenger door.

I've been riding around london for about 7 years and of course get cut off and so on all the time but never so obvious and blatently 'attacked'.

I tried to get his details but he wasn't talking to me, so I took a photo of the bus (he blinked his headlights trying to ruin the shot)

Called TFL and they said complaints could only be taken during business hours. So I went to a police station (Snow Hill in the end) and filled in an 'Self Reporting Form for Traffic Collision/Accident' (or something like that anyway).

Has anybody else done such a thing? any luck? I would think the police are a higher authority that TFL, but maybe I should still complain to TFL anyway?

thanks!

Most buses have an ID number on the side, if you remember that, when and where, the bus company can usually find out who the driver was. A bus driver clipped my pedal as he was trying to close me out, prick, made the back of my bike hop off the ground, lucky to stay on. I reported it to the company, they said they had taken 'appropriate' action against the driver, whatever that means, but I assume they have to take such complaints seriously.

Could give him a hammer and tell him it was the motorists that put him in the leotard, y'know, like Oldboy... sort of.

teenslain [quote]dr.oblong having dark fantasies about a phantom cyclist who rides round round-abouts all day waiting to be 'wronged' by a motorist so that he can exact a brutal and highly publicised mutilation of the driver with the result that it puts the sh1ts up the all the air heads at the wheels of death machines.

Liking this idea, I'm a total sucker for some good old-fashioned revenge, especially of the underpants-over-leotard variety... Sod polo, when do we start? ;)

You mean this guy?

Saw a girl fall on her face, she didn't even put her hands out and she fell right out of her shoes, they were like a couple of feet behind her, lol

Good username...

A different subject but Liverpool and Birkemhead used to have mad names for headressers, not sure if it was a competion, the best name i remember tho was 'Curl up and dye'.

Not sure if this has been posted already. Dave Le Grys going for a speed record, up (or down) the M42, pot holes, bends and all, drafting behind an old Rover. He got towed to 60mph cos he was riding a 360" gear, then pedalled his way to over 110mph, on fixed gear of course.

dicki hey there is a picture of my raleigh frame on the bulgier raleigh site
http://bulgier.net/pics/bike/Catalogs/Raleigh84/ral84_16.jpg
The frame i broke at the polo is pictured in this snap excuse the pun !!

My bro got one of those frames last week, funky retro.

dogsballs got a black leather yanco pad top tube protector (new style with seperate foam) , swap for some tubes or 18T 1/8 cog or £5

I have an 18T tooth cog and pretty sure its an 1/8th if you're still interested.

I'm not sure that mine is a Roberts, the bike just above could well be. i suspect mine was built somewhere more northern, my Dad got it in Leicester and was told it was a Mercian, but it isn't. Anyway, I'm not too fussed who built it, its a pretty sweet frame, still it would be cool to know for sure.
The seat stays are wrap around or half wrap around. Here is a link to fgg when my Dad listed it, he put up some close ups of the lugs and seat cluster.

dogsballs ah, found it Jake

yeh, kind of similar, alot of old british track frames seem to look alike, looks very nice tho. the seat stays and fork crown look different but then there were plenty of options on these sort of things. do you know who built this? i've been trying to find out who built mine but with no luch so far.

dogsballs well, there is an identical twin of yours on here ;) (the frame anyway)

really?? what frame is it? and where can i see a pic of it?

dogsballs did you buy it off 'Build - username' on this site? ;)

ah i see, misunderstood sorry, i'm new here.
nope, i got it from my dad, it was sort of going spare.

dogsballs photo for above

is this the one off Build? come up nice if it is

i don't know about one off, if thats what you mean. it could have been custom made but that would have been 30 or 40 years ago. still i agree, she's come out pretty nice.

and cheers for the photo link dogsballs.

31t®um nice greyhound, love the colour.

cheers, its called metallic gun metal grey, it shows up nice in different light too, bright sunshine sometimes gives it a coppery tinge and darker lights make some of the tubes look matt black.

Hey, I is Leo what is your disability? I is a total computer spaz, however, I'm sure you clever folks know how to use a link.
