I'll try and make it over to meet some non-southerners!

Oh dear PJS. Hope you don't find any injuries, and more importantly hope you didn't bloody your nice new cap!

Yeah great ride today - here's to some more like that. I did make it up Herne Hill! Lebowski maybe catch you down the East end scene soon.

Bobob you heading down for 2? If so could catch you on the way down?

I'll try to head down for 2pm see what's going on.

I'm investing in these

Kam, I was getting same prob as you as well as about 3 punctures a week on my slick continentals, so changed to some Bontrager Hard Case 700x23 which have the kevlar beading (2 months so far no flats) as well as a strip down each side of the centre with a slight grip to it, leaving the centre slick. I run these at 120psi and have had no traction problems even on the slick and shiny cobbles of Vic Park. Also the gripped stripes are a subtle grey which matches my bike = bonus!

NATAS!!! Does he appear and do a kickflip?

YESSSS!!! You got to that one before me. I once saw an interview with Natas' mum who was saying she just liked the name and had no idea why people kept saying he'd been named with that in mind...maybe that was why he always had the cute kittens on his graphics?!

Though a saff landan native I'm often in town on tuesdays so could pop in for an hour or so if it's early...if it's happening I'll try and make it next week.

Good to meet y'all last night - warm welcome appreciated. I'm gettin one of those burgers next time. Maybe catch some of you down the peckham polo if I'm allowed out.

Hope to make it down - don't know ANYONE tho so if you see someone looking lost in spd shoes shout at me. It's C&H not Trinity right?

Thanks Hillbilly - realise I should have read the start of this thread properly - doh. I'll try to make it down depending on when work release me...

Do the beers happen every week? If so are newbies welcome?

Airfix Medium x 1.
Thanks.

Yeah good call I'll look into a new stem...might want to go back to drops anyway tho...

Hi, newbie with handlebar quandary! Please forgive if this is a)v obvious b)already covered somewhere...
I recently swapped from roady drops (too wide) to a narrowish flatbar, but now find the reach is a bit short as my stem's got a slight rise in it. This is ok but not great if you want a bit of sprint overtaking bendybuses, david cameron etc.
So, am wondering if a pair of pista drops would be the best answer? if so would I be committing any crimes by putting them on a non-vintage bike? Also, is the standard bar circumference narrow enough for a tektro bmx lever?
Thanks.
