how much track stuff do they usually have? I'm frame and stem hunting

gotta add myself to this illustrious list , grew up just outside High Wycombe in Prestwood and then Great Kingshill in between Amersham and Wycombe, can remember cycling up those large chiltern hills at 9, paperboy later too, grindin'

used to go to MK to skate, the only thing that industrial swamp is good for.

the gazelle has been fun to ride so far, smooth and quiet. sorry for the melodramatic bike picture, I'm stuck in the countryside for Christmas, it's what happens.

ooh wee definitely the best pista I've seen, what is the stem?

will at hubjub sourced them for 15 bones, he's great.

I think I also spotted/spied edscoble today on tottenham court road as I saw your DEAF bag.

So many fixed gear bikes to ogle at, not used to it in Manchester.

10 minutes from getting into London, hit a huge pothole carrying 20kg backpack = puncture. But an amazingly nice cyclist on singlespeed lent me a patch, shortly after I dropped and cracked my phone. busy hour through london.

I've been spotted already or at least my gazelle has, hi all.

Gazelle Super Mondiale - took a minute but nearly done
It's 753 reynolds frame so nice and light steel and made in 1987, the year of my birth.

thanks, don't have a vice though, tried it inside a dropout, worked for front as test, the back hub is too tight though. bike shop..

I have a 120mm fixed/free Phil Wood hub and have 2 130mm phil wood spacers that I have to swap with the current 120mm sized ones. The problem is I can only get the left hand sided spacer off ( I'm using two 8mm allen keys), the one on the right just turns the axle and i can't work out how to unscrew it, any help would be much appreciated.

Apologies if it has been said before but I searched without luck.

I really like how discreetly kitted out the top two are, very entising.

could I dib the mks cages too, mine have just fallen apart.

that's the thing, they are meant to worn with gloves, something you only realise after losing your fingerprints.

the wheels look tiny, like bmx wheels, and it's difficult buy a bike which doesn't even have the frame size when you first post it.

Mercian 53cm, on the short side sadly

just got the regal, it hugs my bottom. Shouldn't have suffered or so long on that piece of crap bontrager saddle, light saddles much overrated.

+1 for soyo soapy water technique,
soyo grips are probably worse than sandpaper

could I dib the sugino 75s?

so if they don't anodize them does it mean they will be silver? I like Goldtecs but I'm not sure about black hubs, not a racist thing, silver just looks elegant.

New frame, it's super light 753, just trying work out colours. I want black rims, but not sure whether to go with black goldtecs or comparable silver hubs.

I recently flew from London to Johannesburg with Iberia Airlines. I only found out at the airport that they have now changed their baggage allowance to two bags of 23kg each (46kg). I'm not sure of any other airline with such a flexible allowance.

This is for journeys to destinations outside of Europe. If I'd known I could now be riding my bike along the coast of Cape Town. But hopefully someone else can benefit from such a generous offer.

p.s. they're a very unreliable airline though and my own flight was delayed 7 hours, but they are recommended if rude flight attendants are your thing or you like the challenge of straining at a tv five rows in front to watch a film out in the cinemas, 5 years ago.

I have a Lazer Big magma. Its really big, and does nothing to tone down my large head which makes me find excuses not to wear it.

Apparently helmets which have points, i.e. which aren't continuous across the whole helmet make it less easy for it to slide on the ground which puts pressure on the neck. fact. more or less.
