51 x 17 ...pushing the big ring brake less?

nice build.

Price drop? Donate? ;-)

i think for illegal bumps the price drop should be imposed.

price now down to £900. (£50 each illegal bump seems reasonable).

C'mon, someone take this..
YOU need it..

YOU need it..

YOU need it..

YOU need it..

YOU need it..

YOU need it..

YOU need it..

....

even if you repeat stuff it is still an illegal bump.

price dropped to £400 as a penalty.

ok, i've brought 3 in black, pm me if you want one. pick up in southwark only.

clearly not cheap enough.

what's 'within reason' mean? i thought the rule was n+1

i'm in on this deal. a black one.

^ or is it really ti pretending to be stainless steel but really just alloy with some carbon bits?

oh, sorry that would be the 'ti-look-a-like-ride' (which stainless steel should really be in)

http://static.lfgss.com/attachments/50618d1331474562-img_0607.jpg

ti is not rare it is just elite

if stainless steel is in, i assume this makes the grade ?

http://www.lfgss.com/thread81691.html#post2756866

Somewhere between 39.4 and 105.1.

didn't realise bromptons had such a massive range of gears.

how is stainless steel acceptable?

dibs on pompi

or at the train station

see you guys on the road or at the end

I'll see you out of on the roads/train hopefully. not 100% on my movements but they will probably be towards and aroudn the chilterns.

Forum ride are also a great one to start with, especially when it's all about the companies and not the speed.
.

most people in cycling clubs are pretty good company and less all-over-the-place-cyclists-who-are-half-drunk-baggy-short-wearing-longdistance-newbies than on most forum rides (forum rides are however very entertaining).

I don't mean beginner cyclists. I used to be into mountain biking (a long time ago), my bike is my main form of transport when I'm not working but now I've bought a new road bike with the intention of getting into road cycling properly.
Anyone into going on some rides out of town, building up distances as we get fitter? Or is anyone already doing this and I could tag along. I'm not unfit but I'm definately need to start small and build up.

Cheers.

to get back on topic. I'd suggest you join a real cycling club. depending on where you in London (lots of clubs) but for example the people at dulwich paragon organise v.regular rides and are nice enough. A club will give you tired-n-tested routes, opportunity to ride with people of your own ability and also hints on how to be a good group rider. GPS's and setting up your own rides is fine but clubs are there to support people like you wanting to do some nicer rides into the countryside.

their GPS enabled devices' was causing a many of them wander about the countryside with insufficient care. Not good.

i thought this sounded pretty good really. i might get one.

that bites andy, such a nice bike, i'll keep an eye open for it.

this looks like fun, good to support a local club.

it is on my radar as well but i'll make a decision closer to the event (e.g. weather pending...).
