Just took delivery of my third pair of Swrve shorts today. Can't recommend them enough. This pair - cotton 3/4's, size 30, slate blue. The other two are still going strong. Looking a little worn, expectedly, but not a hole or tear after a year. That is pretty amazing in my experience.

YGM 3stripe

@Kat, if I don't hear from 3stripe I'll let you know.

@eyerideit, thanks. Assuming you've heard from 3stripe....?

I'm looking for 1 x coach ticket if anyone has one going spare. Thx

I'm happy to help out too if volunteers are still needed......

Argh, I'm out......sorry. Hope you have a great ride.

Thanks for the support everyone. It was an amazing experience to be racing at such an event.

Did anyone see the penny crash? Everyone walked away, though there as some blood and a big wheel died - Penny farthing crash at the 2013 London nocturne, rear facing on bike camera. - YouTube

Thanks Al. Hope you have a good night.

See the rest of you there!

Last minute penny tinkering.

On Thursday, I had some spokes made and replaced by Joff. He also trued the wheel and built me a new bracket for my saddle.

Saddle's sorted. Now, I just have to decide on pedals......

There was a Nocturne special pullout thing in the Evening Standard yesterday - my penny farthing-obsessed colleague left it on my desk this morning as there's going to be a penny farthing race!! Exciting!

I was in that : )

Just swapped my massively comfortable suspended saddle for a small hard racing saddle. The position is much more aggressive, right over the wheel, which means I have better purchase on the pedals to respond to the tight and twitchy course and can lean right over for a bit of penny aero but a pebble might just flick me into an 'imperial crowner'. Hmmmm

I'm in, racing pennies again this year.

I'm in. Looking forward to catching up with all of you then, if not before.

Onyerbike - Nice to meet you. You've a lucky friend.

Tommmmmm - Good to see you again.
I like selling jerseys and having chats about bikes, books and travel : )

Hoefla - it was hard to part with that one. I liked it a lot. Lucky I stil have another six or more......... #slightvintagejerseyfetish

Cathyoh - yes it is. [strike]PM sent.[/strike] Have left a message on your profile page.

Thanks dtm0121 - sorry they are not the right size for you.

Hi Sol, PM sent

Thanks MissMouse for your thoughts.
I'm sad I don't get a jersey too : (
But words are never just words (and I'm particularly sensitive to them given my vocation). They come from complex social, cultural and historical etymologies and they produce and reproduce expectations, assumptions, possibilities and limitations in everyday life. And this particular word is not working for me at present, though I very much like your argument about reclaiming and reshaping it's meaning. I'm all for that. It's just that it's a massive undertaking, as you mention due to it's use as a standard term for women's wear. But things do change ....

dtm0121- It's a size '2' and yes I will post (I've amended the listing - i was initially hesitant as I am moving house and I've a huge list of things to do/move about etc). Let me know if you still want it.

tommmmm - the grey/orange one is the biggest of all of them and quite stretchy. It says '2' in the label but I'd say it was closer to a medium..... You are welcome to pop by and try it on.

Missmouse - they came from various jumbles and race day. I've got quite a rainbow collection now : )

Thanks El_Diablo : )

Onyerbike, I've sent you a PM to confirm.

Arrgh, sorry, but I'm out.
Looks like there are enough takers for my absence not to interfere with the scale of production/purchase plan.
Love the design but I can't get about in a top that says 'ladies' when I am currently doing lots of research work that writes against/about it in relation to history of women's cycling : /
I am up for a patch if they get made at some point.

Thanks Knornight2..... next time : )

I agree, a multiple tick/ checkbox poll would be better. (It was my first poll and I didn't see much choice in design - is it possible?)
