You have 30 seconds to put some damned gears on that before I buy a plane ticket and bad things happen. That bike would piss class in it's intended state.[/quote]
You fink it need arrospok?

hippy [quote]andyp He made other equally wanky claims. A self publicist and attention seeker. And a tub of lard to boot!

"He made headlines when he beat Olympic champion Chris Boardman's time-trial record in August 1999."

Yeah, he and other tubs of lard will probably kick your arse on a bike too. It's not all about Pantani builds.[/quote]
Except there is no 5 mile time trial record to beat. He also claimed he'd been French National Pursuit champion amongst many other claims that he couldn't back up with real evidence.

And I agree it's not all about Pantani builds but for someone who claimed to be a world class cyclist he wasn't in the shape you'd expect.

As Hippy points out that was Bruce Bursford's bike - he's Tony Dafoney's role model I reckon.

Very nice;

The cool one in Gent is called Plum and is on a street called Nederkouter (if memory serves). It's an aladdin's cave of a bike shop and you have to rummage to find the good stuff. It's very good for rims especially.

Between Gent and Brussels us a town called Aalst and there is a very good bike shop there called Van Eyck I think. It's huge, the size of a mid-sized supermarket and is very good for clothing.

I lived in Brussels for a few months 10 years ago and never found a decent bike shop but I can't say I looked that hard.

Being a tart, I'm after a left hand all silver cross lever to fit a pair of Nitto bullhorns. Does anyone know where I can get one, preferably in London?

Ta.

I'm on bikeradar, and C+ before, and I'm a recent joiner here.
The threads on here are informative, laugh out loud funny, creative (the You look - Arrospok thread for example) and abusive. It's great!
I'm also looking forward to using the phrase 'fucktard' in a meeting at work in the near future.

Fuck me! has that been wrapped in cotton wool for the last 24yrs!?[/quote]
Looks like it. Probably locked in a Swiss bank vault too. Along with the stolen, ahem liberated, Nazi gold.

Looks smart, hows it ride?
Something about those levers looks odd with that frame though.

It's lovely to ride but then the frame always was. I do love the silence of it though, my previous fixed bike always seem to have something squeaking or creaking.

I'm not sure on the bars or levers too - think I might get some bullhorns and try them.

Something like this;

Are you sure you haven't got a lock ring tool? Quite often they are built into other tools. Mine is on the other end of a 32 mm headset spanner. Do you know what one looks like?

andyp [quote]Slack I want Roberto's campagnolo cap off 'bay but some clown has put a 4 million pound bid on it, I went to £6.50 and gave up :(

You can get them for £7 (or four for £25) over at Prendas[/quote]

The cap is now £12.50!

Roberto - follow my link, buy some more and then do Second Chance Offers to all the people who bid more than £6.50. You'll be quids in!
