Of course all that could be incidental, and your real recovery due to the miraculous healing powers of a hand-built, independently traded fgb ;-)

Nice! Thanks rAJB

I'm looking at getting one of these crosstops in the 31.8mm clamp as I want them for oversized bars. Tektro also do a similar version for a few less quid. Does anyone know if any of the BMX levers e.g. Dirty Harry, Goldfinger etc. can be found in a 31.8 clamp also?

pajamas, your (dry) humour and slightly disturbing commitment to a point of honour have kept me rather amused, though it's a shame it all had to turn a bit negative. I'm looking forward to getting back to SL beers to get the comedy first hand once more! Don't know DHSE1 (unless the alias is someone I do know) but I can vouch for your adversary as a generally pretty damn decent sort of bloke, even if you have provoked his irate side...hope it all ends in peace!

It was raining, I braked on wet granite, epic fall :)

My first fall was after naming my bike "Prince Noir" (black prince), jaygee told me "what do you expect giving your bike the name of the devil" so last weekend I renamed my bike "the little alpaca", I guess it didn't like it either or was it bad luck renaming the bike?

how are your horse-riding skills pajamas?

Sorry to hear about the crash VV. Were you descending a scottish singletrack - I haven't seen much granite round these here parts?! I think your main mistake was not naming your bike 'Vince Noir' - although then you would have had to dress it in clashing corduroy frame pads.

is it just me or do you some people lose all their common sense when they mount a cycle? I see crazy stuff like people wearing gloves when it's sunny and way to many layers.I wanna ask them what they're thinking and tell them that they're only riding to work - not going on an expedition.

Is 'you some' a form of colloquial collective address as in 'y'all'? The inference being that most fixed riders wear gloves when the weather is sunny and dress overcautiously? If so, that's a pretty serious charge, and may require defending via duel - preferably wearing altura string-backed mitts.

Was sorry to miss it last night - the work is piling up so I may be absent for a few weeks...:-(
Hopefully there will be some burgers left when I eventually return!

Do you think I can get one through Cycle2Work? ;-)

This has been sitting outside Camberwell College of Art for a week or so, I believe it's a graduating student's work - there's a video inside of it being ridden down buslanes - powered by 2 people running in the hamster wheel!
I'm not sure of the student's name or I'd credit them - if it's yours, please let us know!

hahaha

Pkmpirat, what are you wearing tonight?

I could tell you but how would I display my psychic powers then?

you'll have to wait longer than 7pm for burgers, jaygee darling, I won't be there before 7h45.

HAHA you'll be too late! Me n pajamas are gonna be there first and order all the burgers! You'll have to eat overpriced crisps and cinnamon smoked hickory nuts from the bar.

I'll be down for ONE (and maybe a burger)...probably around 7ish

Very pleasant evening last night chaps, more of the same next week! Nice to meet you pkmpirat

Yeah - good to put a face to the ManOWar sleeve (subtle sleeveface ref?)! Oh and nice 'hate & destroy' shirt!

Mine arrived yesterday (still working out how postie got that jiffy bag through our tiny letterbox!) - the ts are great. Thanks VB and everyone involved in the design/making of these - definitely appreciated this end. I'll watch out for when the spares are released as should have ordered more than one - doh!

I just can't believe someone in Camberwell can afford a Colnago...Do you think he was cutting through from Dulwich or something?

We don't buy our bikes in Camberwell, get me?

Looks like rubber bungs in the BB and you're ready to go, I'll give Steve at Armourtex a call anyways... I've gotta figure out how to take my brake lever and calipers apart, pretty sure it's gonna end in tears... ;)

Hey, no one said stealth bikin was gonna be easy!

I've got to find a BB tool that fits too.

@ pkmpirat: Armourtex black run, YES!

If the black run is matt, count me in.

Armourtex black run is definitely ON and will be MATT! I'm looking at end of next week or thereabouts - my studio is v nearby the place so I am happy to collect bits and take them in - unless there's frames in which case you may have to bring to me somehow jol.
Does anyone know if they really do mask the BBs etc. for you or is it best to do yourself first?

Tom, your tee-shirt rocked! But still not as cool as mine ;) (what a fashion faux-pas that was!)

Sorry can you translate 'faux-pas' for me as I am 'full of stomachs'?! ;-)

Me too me too! I'll owe you a drink clefty.

I'll be there.

^ I hope you got it, for that price nothing wrong.
The dropouts are fine for conversion

Cheers rik, sadly I didn't get it as there was a rather high hidden bid on it - may have been a sneaky reserve I think. Oh well, just got meself a lovely vintage CB frame so all's well.

Advice needed - am thinking of bidding on this as want to build up a beater - am a bit worried that it is still on min bid - is it one to avoid like the plague? Are the dropouts a problem for conversion?

They're targetting drivers in NYC with these.
Bad luck lucky7.

Weathers looking as bad as last Monday :(

There's a monstrous lump of rain hanging over northern France coming our way.

Sure is - I'm in Kent right now and it looks like I'll be bringing it back with me. You got to love the English summer.
