print out the cheapest fahgettiaboutit page from an online bike shop, go to cyclesurgery or equation to 'price match' the lock.
i did exactly that today and it worked a treat. make sure you take in the printout though. they said they get munters going in all the time and asking the staff to check the internet for them. to which they reply, 'fuck off you munter'.
the printout needs to have the shipping price as well as this is added on to the deal they give you. but if you get your price from www.activesportskit.co.uk the shipping is free!

I grew up near Bushy park, you can still get thru the pedestrian gates at the side of the main ones, but it's sketchy in there when it's dark coz it's pitch black and there are some big fucking Deer in there. They like to stand in the middle of the road after dark!
I totally would have ridden through had i checked the ped gate. riding in the pitch black with deer whist pissed would have been a nice end to the evening. having to ride to kingston, then back to HC was annoying as fuck

good times at first wests last night. loved the compass ride with dov, mccarthy et al. couldnt believe how many cyclists there are on the london rush hour commute (especially the lycra gangbangers).
nice to have a chat to lots of forumungers; max (i dont have 10p to my name), mark (colnago), stix, vee (v?), raleigh conversion purple rims, james from nz immigration (cheers for the insight),
french canadia girl etc etcalso found out it takes the exact length of the first MGMT album to cycle back to Hampton Court from wests. although if would have been quicker bushy park hadnt been locked.

coming back to london for two weeks to see the folks and bringing my bike over.
fag mini plus a cable for the front wheel seems a fair bet.
is it also worth doing the old ball bearing in the stem bolt/ seat bolt? i presume you can get them out at a later date?rule seems to be don't leave your bike unattended while in a pub/ club/ brothel even if locked in a busy place with good locks?
have nice bits on my bike, but generally looks quite ratty, and certainly wont be cleaning it before i come over.
bike theives in auckland really haven't clocked on to the whole track bikes = easy money thing so it's all going to be new to me. if i ve missed anything, any advice greatly apprciated.

Does anyone have a front wheel they could sell to me?
Low profile rim, silver 700c clincher, track hub. Something like an open pro would be perfect.
If no-one is selling just a front, would consider a wheelset of said style.
I'm coming back to london for two weeks on september 8th and could pick up straight after.
cheers!

i think the geometry might come from the US tradition of crits.
while it handles well, it still weighs a fucking tonne.
i took the wheels off yesterday to see what the weight was like without them and it still weighed a lot.cheers for the fork offer but i live in NZ now so i ll just be on the look out here. rare as hen's teeth i m told.
might just stop moaning until i have the money for lighter bike. keen to try a modern one just to see what the flex difference would be when climbing.
