aidan talking about grumpy......i got the first puncture(from riding.....shut it hippo)on my blizzard tires yesterday.....anyone who's paid a small amount of interest in me would know how long i have had those tires............
my point is the power tripping twat at charing cross station wouldn't let me on the train with my bike so i had to lock it up outside the station.my fault really as i should have brought a spare tube.....but hes still a twat.How the hell can anyone stop you taking a bike on a train? I thought it was a right... commuter trains not so? Bad Luck aidan. You only ever get a puncture if you don't have a spare or patches, like clockwork.

snowy_again oh and the lottery bike would be something like this.
!! God aint Sound System bikes brilliant? Love the Castor/stabilzer/speaker stand arrangement. I think Critical Mass is flippin great just because of the wierd bikes, forget the road-politics. I saw this brilliant dude with a sort of rolling wind-chime (road-chime?) thing that just clanked loudly behind him. Wicked.
Perhaps spend the change on a pump for that rear flattie.

Lottery distributors have literally ripped everyone off for nearly fourteen years. I really don't see what they've done for 'good causes' couldn't have been paid for by our taxes, instead of funding the Royal Family and paying for Trident. But hey I'm an anarchist/antichrist probably. Gawd Bless em.
'in keeping with the fashion for charity, not change...' chumbawamba, 'pictures of starving children sells records'.

lpg it's not a tax on the stupid.
you need to justify this assertion LPG. I prefer to call it a tax on the poor.
It's no coincidence that George Orwell was only ten years off with his predictions in '1984', the Lottery was introduced by The Grey Prime Minister in '94 (apparently the Camelot board all drink in the same Club as Major). Orwell said the Proles were illiterate and innumerate, but all of them could wax lyrical about the numbers in the lottery and when they came up and what the odds might be and all that crap. It's a really interesting bit of that novel, I read it in '94 saying Oh Wow man a la Neil from Young Ones.

eww ready made SANDWICHES? They always have that sign 'Healthy Eating' outside your corner shop - healthy whale fat marge... no thanks.
I reckon if you've got a grand to spend and you're a bit large (and can't win something excellent like that Gazelle), you could probably get a beautiful bike made for you at Mercian or by Robin Mather, wait a few more months to make some extra cash and slowly, compulsively upgrade the 'standard' components you will probably have to buy initially? It's a good way to get round the traffic light envy thing... either that or buy a Rankster and just don't stop at the lights?
Or spend six thousand pounds at a certain SE London builder and be the envy of typographers everywhere...

Happy new year all of you lovely people.
Oh god i hate this stuff. But I love the Lindy Hop pledge! Best one I've ever heard. I'm tempted to see your Lindy Hop and raise you the Mashed Potato.
I always either A) try to give up herb, and end up smoking tons of fags
or
B) try to give up fags, and end up smoking loads of 'spliffs' (with hardly any weed in).You gotta do all of em, or not at all.
I agree that stopping boozing is probably harder still, I've never tried. Did anyone watch that silly geordie woman binge drinking for england on telly last night? Made me REALLY wanna give up everything. Or at least have the odd day off.
Maybe its time to get hypnotised.
My girl just started trowing all her old cassettes away... are they cool now or something?
What's all this about veggie booze? you having us on? I remember people used to say Newcy Brown had lard in, I thought that was just southern lies.

mdx [quote]teenslain I'd say be careful with clearance, smallest 27" tyres I could find were 1 1/4" Gators, they're HUGE...
27" wheels rock! :)i'm riding these fron SJS http://www.sjscycles.co.uk/product-Panaracer-Panaracer-Pasela-Kevlar-Tyre-with-Amber-skinwall-27-x-1inch-(25-630)-1065.htm
but couldnt find much else[/quote]+1
Me too. They also have a 1 1/8'' too. They do some 27" Jalco rims, don't know if they're any good. -
Hello, it's me, a new person, skullhead. After ingratiating myself early on I am trying to be Mr Polite (which is hard for someone with a borderline case of tourette's syndrome like me).
Anywayyyyy
Has anyone got some fairly narrow anotomical bars they dont really want much? I'd be happy to give some cash, beer or any bits I have (not a lot really). I want to try a chop and flip (as opposed to a flop - I want the chopped ends to face me, curving downwards, on a bike that feels long even when gripping the tops of drop bars). I am currently using 38cm bars on there, I think 40 would be great to cut down for this.
thanks a bunch
Skully
