Did you flip over the handle bars then run yourself over? By near disastrous I mean I ride with no brakes and the chain came off over near Tower Bridge (before I got to the downhill thank bejesus). Indeed, too much force at junctions. Whoops! I do think that with enough physical force and a daily retightening I should be ok. I didn't think of chain tugs however, big rookie move on my part. I would trade the back wheel out for a different one but it is a Copag Omega 19 and it rides like a dream...except for the chain coming loose. I did a long ride after posting the first one and I've had no probs since.

Right. I just bought a new Young's frame. It's a racing conversion. I mostly wanted the frame to gasp turn it back into a racing bike, but it turns out I love riding it fixed so I might keep it that way for a while. Now, the guy I bought it from has chucked a lock ring on a quick release wheel and has put it on the back with a 22t. I have had a few near disastrous chain mishaps so far. My questions are:

Is it safe to ride with a back wheel with quick release? Is there any way to make it safe? Am I being a bit of a fanny?

Oh, I see...it does look like beavis...I haven't had my coffee yet...

Next time I will say Beavis...

That is seriously beautiful. That frame looks better and better with each look.

NIce, I was gutted about the weather. It was even worse on Monday. Looking out on the park behind my house, I thought Brixton was going to blow away -although my favorite local was still smoking a fatty spliff in the rain. Let's drink beer nightly for a clear day on the 29th. I don't know how that will help, but everything is worth a try.

What's the best way to prevent rain? Is it burning an effigy? If it is, I vote an effigy of Boris and Ken.

Can't wait. I'm inducted and ready to race under the moniker 'the slowest man alive'.

I didn't know that Witcomb did a course as well. Wicked. I saw the dave yates cycles one and have e-mailed them. I like the idea of a workshop collective though...

I was wondering if anyone knows a good way to learn how to make frames. I am interested in the process, and want to know if there is anywhere in London which teaches all the welding, terms, etc.

I'm in!

Imagine riding him! Now that's bike porn.

I didn't even think of Mr. Blobby! I want it, even if the components are crap.

Paid VB. Cheers on the hard work.

2,500? Well...

I'm lovinnnnn it.

Will be there with a new paint job, looking snazzy.

Thanks for all the effort!

Just to confirm I have ordered:

My mate dropped out of coming with me tonight, and as I am notoriously shy at new meetings, I'm going to skip tonight until someone comes with me. Probably the week following the secret night ride. I'll even play.

Right, if this is a weekly thing, I might just be in. I don't know you jokers yet, so I'm going to break myself in easy with polo before pints. Maybe next week (13th)?

Born in Ohio USA, time riding in NYC, now in SE5 Brixton. Riding fixed with no brakes 100% for two years. Although, perhaps my legal inability to vote for mayor excludes me from this exclusive group?

Wicked, think i'll come watch this week. See you guys then.

I missed the monoply thing. This is the day after my birthday...sure to be hungover but count me in.

Um, there are 20 pages of posts... I can't find what night everyone plays, and where. Is it at the car park? I'd like to watch this week at least, then maybe join in. Sound cool?
