High Street Ken in the mornings, Peds decide to cross through two lanes of stationary traffic while you are picking your way through, sometimes at speed. They just appear in front of you and for some reason are looking the way the traffic is moving (or not) as if they are scared someone might decide to reverse over them... Twat's of the Highest order.

Favorite shout is a simple yet patriotic "Oi!"

This looks like some kind of weird bug.

Ha ha! Check that out, Aero bars on top of tractor tyres, brilliant. I bet they're at about 45psi too.

this bike isn't bad, actually rather decent I have to says but what bother me is the two very completely disparage wheels.

an HHSB purple deep V with purple tyres and a classic looking rims with tubular on the front.

It reeks of unfinished business.

I binned my misses after she bought this.

the wet-suit and goggles are a nice touch.... almost takes your mind off that hideous tangled mess of yellow tubing.

can anyone figure out how you'd steer this contraption? Nope.... me neither. Cocks.

Not sure that's practical for my commute.

my first west drinks two weeks ago, met 50 and the gang, the last thing he said was to explain the origins of the 50/14 name ..... I come back from a week away and read this... proper shocker.

Get well 50 and see you on Thursday... you can do it!

almost all BMX racing chainrings are 110bcd 5 bolt, type in various bmx brands you will get a lot of choice and old school colours.

Sugino BMX, Tioga, FMF, etc etc

They are 1/8th too, same as track chain.

Thanks for the info FP, I hunted one down at Alan's BMX and it arrived today, here's a pic.

All for the princely sum of £6 plus postage.

Well I made my debut at tonight's Thursday drinks.

Shame I couldn't stay longer but food and my gorgeous fiencé were calling.

Great to meat you all... LG phones rock... and no I'm not black.

OMFG! even one for the 6 footers..

I shudder to think how mucky that chain is languishing under there.

A mate sent me this yesterday. Am I dreaming or do I remember these from the 80's

bike?

madillness - i don't know. maybe. looks like it shruG

I'm pretty sure it's knitted, my eyes are pretty good and I think I even see buttons.

I was sort of hoping I'd get away with that one....

Haven´t seen this here yet.... had to be posted!!!

After my 3Rensho fo-pas of yesterday I'd have to agree. Although with no drive-train it looks a bit weird.

But it does give me a reason to link to this photo I took of a bike that I saw this morning outside work.

Must confess i´ve never been to keen to lowpro frames... but since I got one beautiful piece of vintage steel last june that runs a front 650 I just feel like givin´it a chance.

out of interest, how tall are you?

Being 6'1" I suspect the 650 front wheel style bike would just make all my blood rush to my head and start going slowly deaf and then pass out at traffic lights that I always stop at, religiously.

Yeah that woman just started eating my costume as soon as I came out of the bar. As a matter of fact people kept attacking me as I walked through Brooklyn, Screaming PiiiiiZZZZAAAA! at me!? I felt like some surreal rock star! FranK Zappa!

I'll have to remember that trick when I need an ego boost. Although I think a kebab would work better over here.

good on 'em. spoiling my fun. gits.

I'm only mucking about you know. It's just fun to poke holes in marketing bullshit.

So with that in mind here's how Rapha describe London bike messengers (taken completely out of context of course).

"They are true convicts of the road"

Wow! A feedback loop of capitalism vs morality! I'm off to write the screenplay.

When I order mine I'm going for this option..... keepin' it real yo!
