Sorry - mine is set up a single speed, and also it's 19.5 inches!
I'm 6ft 1, and rode it with a lot of seat post. See what you think. Don't want too much for it. £175ish?
Rock Shox Tora forks, Deore hubs, Deore square taper cranks, BB7 brakes, Easton bars, hope headset and seatclamp, and other basic bits.

Got an 18" Genesis Io I've been meaning to get rid of.
I'll get a picture up tomorrow if you're interested?
-
Anyone got 2 tickets for Black Sabbath going? I'm interested to go, but not for £70+ each...

With Muddy Hell being canceled, come down on the 26th to Herne Hill midday-5pm to help sort the cross course out. Food and fireworks after, as well as the grand opening of the new polo court.

That was my original plan, but by that measure Charlotte would win the women's league outright!
-
Great pictures JC!
How many points did I get for the track stand comp?
In discussion about the track stand points, but I think it will just be B cat points. Good result though - 4th place. (first senior!)
-
2 of the kids Logan and Charlotte were the only ones to get that far. Disappointing performance from the seniors. - speaking as a past Track League track stand champion ;)
-
Nice photos from tonight.
LFGSS members were conspicuous by the absence in the track stand competition top results. For shame, what kind of hispters are you?!

Very keen to take on feedback and offers of help for next year, both here, via emal, converstaion, and importantly at the final Track League on 25th September - where there will be racing, bbq, prize giving and discussions on next years format.
Just that all a hysterical thread title serves to do is sully the reputation of Track League which may take a lot longer to recover than the cause of any problem.
People are also very welcome to add suggestions on the format of racing for next year too. The racing is meant to meet the demands of the riders. That way we won't have to disqualify riders for cheating by changing their gears in a derny race. For example.
-
Does the thread have to have quite such a strongly worded title? How about just general suggestions for 2014?
-
Results should be up before racing tonight, there were a few things that needed to be checked.
Tom, email in if your results still aren't' correct. It's unlikely James our results guy is monitoring cycling forums on the off chance someone grumbles. Also, I looked through and the only Tom I can see in that range is now on 5.7 points. Is that correct?
Feel free to volunteer for a night's judging. Gives you a great insight into what a great job the volunteer officials do, and does your bit for the league.

No problem at the velodrome, currently you can still turn into the Half Moon Lane end of Burbage Road, but only from the east (North Dulwich direction).
The shops got a hammering though.

Just to mention, Monday night training is on next week, but not the following Monday 19th - as Herne Hill is hosting the final of the Summer Cyclo-cross series
http://www.summerseries.co.uk/
Pleanty of forumers have been participating - could be a good opportunity to try cross before the winter season. http://www.lfgss.com/thread16515-16.html

I asked for some of the female rider's opinions. Given the chance to ride half the distance of an excruciating event - guess what they chose...
I think it's probably for the best, although it creates a bit of a headache with the track record.
Also, there is an average of £5.51 overall prize money per male competitor so far this year, compared to an average of £14.71 per female competitor.
-
Doing a bit less, is fair enough, but the sprint TT being half the distance makes it a very different event.
Flying 100m sprints for women?
-
The first time I tried to introduce women only doing 450m they insisted on doing the full 900m!
Also it ended up a bit strange with U14 and U16's racing 900m, and since kids often ride with boys and girls in the same categories anyway, we ended up having U14 girls riding twice the distance of senior women.
Womens pursuits are still shorter though.
-
Gender equality.
-
U12s do 450m, everyone else does 900m.
The track record should be achievable, especially on a nice warm night http://www.hernehillvelodrome.com/racing_events/track_records/

^ Yes! Just following up the lead rider is a pretty bad idea. No-one should be overlapping your wheel, but you never know.
