hope it wasn't the third with Chris Rea, Chris de Burgh and the guy who sang lady in Red (was that one of them?)
good times mate, hope you had a ripper

looks more like dirty sanchez than swobo sanchez...

You....... ride a sweet Moser - not sure if FG or SS. I........... drive a silver VW golf. I drove past you, gave you an appreciative thumbs up (you in bus lane, me in car lane). You gave me the middle finger. I hope this was merely a miscommunication. However if you are in the habit of 'fingering' random cars, you will get into a spot of bother sooner rather than later. Not a good advert for cyclists, who have a bad enough rep in Oxford.

hmmmmmmmm am I mystic si? had a dream about colnago HHSB last night, which I thought was worrying enough, but now these... too rich for my blood, unfortunately

Or adulterate it with some WAC style logos and make some spoke cards... to dish out to errant c**** in their trucks.

you can differentiate the CSOs from the undercover SO19 by the fact that one totes a supersoaker, and the other shoots brazilian plumbers in the head for being scared of the cops... the micropenis feature is universal.....

thanks for your advice guys - I do like a more compact fit and expect it easier to deal with a slightly small frame than one that is too big. would make someone very happy i think. oh well - the wait goes on! How I wish I had jumped at dogs' 52cm dolan a month ago. misery.

thanks

Howdy - can anyone advise whether the condor pista linked below is a 'good deal' and what would be reasonable money for it. Also whether the 55cm size would suit 5' 8". i know these are noob questions but I am stuck at work with little time to search the forum at length.
it finishes at 15:45 so any help prior to then would be great.

cheers

Howdy. I wondered whether anyone who is converting has a rear wheel with cassette which would suit an Edinburgh Bike Co-op 'courier race'. It is a 700c wheel and came with an 11-34 Shimano cassette I think. It is my missus's (?sp) bike and she erroneously thought that the local yoot could not undo a QR skewer. Anyway they did and she now has a unicycle!
Thanks in advance for any help. Unfortunately I don't think she'll fall for the 'just fix it' solution which had crossed my mind.

edit: 11-30 cassette - cheers

could be any number of things, unlikely to be ligaments in absence of a noticeable injury. Likewise cartilage.. but possible you could have some wear and tear to these if you played a lot of impact sports when younger. Also possible is early arthritis of the patellofemoral joint (kneecap/thigh bone joint). Steroid injections should be avoided unless you need temporary relief for a particular reason eg a race as they won't repair anything in particular. You may guess from my advice that I'm a doctor, but the bottom line is - see a specialist - best via your GP. Either a scan or arthroscopy will help diagnosis. Symptom relief with all the other services recommended above.
PM if you want any further advice.

get well soon man, take the cocksmoker for everything you can get - not for your gain, but so that the dinner party brigade get the message that carving up bikes in chelsea tractors is not on.

can certainly do the above. no i dont work in imperial (based in oxford). as based in oxford prob available on an intermittent basis physically, but can certainly opine on request.
cheers

I'm not the sort of doctor to lie you on a couch and tell you why your mum doesn't love you..... Not sure what the right sort of doctor is...
But the above offer stands

thanks guys - exactly what I needed to hear. keep the OCR for winter road training. quite liked the sound of the used Dolan that was on here recently.....
anyway glad to have survived my first thread and if you need any injury/health type queries sorted feel free to post

Post number 2 - and a request already. I have a trusty Giant OCR road bike which is Alu with carbon front fork. From extensive searching of the forum I get the impression that this frame layout is not conducive to conversion to fixed, related to the vertical drop-outs.
Feel free to commence the lynching..... but could I also get some input about the cost (specificallY) of doing the conversion properly and whether to do it or not.
If it is going to end up with a sh1t fixed gear I would also like to know.

Anyway, round up the posse - and thanks for all help in advance.
