very up for this, haven't done a long ride yet, i hope no annoying events come up demanding my attendence to block this.

yeh leave it as it is, i guess it looks amazing in the flesh. any extra sparkle will be killed by a months riding. i've seen a similar bianchi which has had the same treatment (alway parked outside the brownswood park tavern on green lanes if its anyones on here). looks beautiful. i would without doubt set about the same thing if i had one.

(also the saddle matches the tyres) ;)

imagine chrome tyres, the hipsters would go insane

a courier type lived next door to me last year who had a frame which had a similar set up to this. the back wheel came right the way throgh the split down tube, was beautiful. think he changed it for a steam roller though. i asked him about it once but i was on my lamester at the time so he was kinda short. not sure if he's on here. lived around camden/holloway road if thats a help.

well the white one is

the gold is anodised

and don't be sad it's already been done by tynan

i must say that this is extremely lovely and i would be honoured to own it but...........
to be very picky, the back wheel doesn't quite match the the curve on the down tube, maybe a 650 with a shorter chain. have seen this loads around this forum and anyway, sex, but those two curves being so close together but not quite the same.............

the day when they make a chrome saddle we can all be happy.

have very short highlights, let me find them

do you have the toe clip for the pedals??

but aggressive enough to be vino without EPO or the crazy doctor with all the blood. what was his name, he was linked to ulrich and half of t-mobile i think.

sorry about the spoiling but this is a "Tour de france 2008" thread so i guess it does kind of imply chat about the tour. maybe we should start another thread with spoiling alowed, is a little annoying finding out the result when you don't want to (cue really bad episode of the likely lads).

highlights are usualy on eurosport the day after, just before the coverage for the next day starts. yesterdays time-trial was on today sometime between 12-2.

beats the highlights, and sorry, got too excited.

cavendish wins!!!!
sprinted from quite a way back, swallowed the brake away with about 100m to go, awesome finish.

glasto so unfortunately not, could do some sort of pilton based mass but i don't think they alow bikes on site.

shit, got to pull out, two friends birthdays that evening. think both of them and my girlfriend will kill me if i disapeer to go on a ride, could probably get away with sloping off one but but with two of them someone is gonna notice.

if anyone wants to do a large order count me in. is this velosteel model significantly better that a new sturmey archer or shimano?
these things are fairly rare so there are precisely no reviews anywhere on the internet. can get a sturmey archer off ebay at the moment but if they're shit and unreliable and this is the coaster brake daddy i'll hold out.

same here, theres a NOS sturmey archer one on ebay at the moment

want a good one though, a little bit afraid of complete loss of braking whilst going downhill fast.

new chain last week, guess that counts as a lubing as it was pre-lubed. made it a right hassle getting it on, try fitting a chain tool around a overly slippy chain.

Sparton?

i love this guys ebay listings, the little witty coments after each picture.

"RIDE HARD ! HAVE FUN ! CREATE !"

or the best

"Say it LOUD ! I'm Lugged & I'm PROUD !"

i've been hiding my lugs away for years now, its a crime that you can't ride around london flaunting your lugs for fear of lug persecution. some sort of lug pride march should be organised.

is this a good idea for a ss build?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=330237433910

have been looking for one for a while and most of them are a good 30 years old.
is this just a stupid idea though?

if is as half as good as last night it'll be awesome

was my first ride and now i need more, my mates i bought along should be getting on here too.
best bits were def the tunnel and random racing usualy resulting in the front pack getting lost, or in 1 case resulting in taxi buggery. coming out on the next for sure.

great bike to ride naked

and also i rode it naked, made the saddle smell bad, though that got nicked the next day. ha bike thief, thats had my sweaty balls and crack all over it.

i rode a langster for nearly 2 years, loved the bike, never failed me, must have amassed over 4000 miles on the thing. when i got it i really wanted to do a self build but i was living in somerset and all the local shops were useless on the subject. i kinda copped out and just bought a langster as seemed easier and not too expensive.
the only problem with it was when riding through london seeing many other identical bikes riden with no love. didn't like riding the same bike as the uninthusiastic masses (bit of a shit reason, but maybe i'm just a big narcicist). recently all the bearings final wore out so instead of replacing the headset and BB i just bought a lovely new frame off of here. now feel happier with my 'interesting' bike that i have actually put some thought into and fits me better, though annoyingly is a bit heavier. new wheels needed.
