i want to do a faux merican logo with my name as i love that classic gothic font. it would suit my old bike.

anyone got any idea what font that could be, or somthing very similar?

that colnago is a dream, id kill to have that bike. very jelous.

its an absolute crime that it has risers though.

i might somehow put "ride fast" onto my leather motorbike gloves.

ive never undertood fingerless bike gloves, my fingertips are the bit i want to protect from the cold.

i didnt know adam and joe were doing a show again! used to listen to them religiously before they left and did that god awful virgin show.

is thier show in podcast format?

building my own wheels confuses the shit out of me, i really dont understand how to tension all the spokes correctly.

i dont really hate him, hes just really boring. hes not particually charming, his wit is really unsophisticated, and the music he plays is dull. a radio presenter should have some kind of hook.

with that said, i have a dislike of russell brand but really enjoy his radio show, its an anarchic mess and is gueninly funny.

ive never actually seen a postman on a bike, i wasnt aware this was done scince the 50's.

ah shit. ive often got pissed and forgotten where i locked my bike, but that is in cornwall where it will never get nicked and is small enough for me to easily find it.

good luck

Superprecise- got a bigger version of that?

if were going to share SA injury pictures heres mine:

/attachments/2211

that black bit of skin i eventially had to cut off and was about 5mm thick and like hard leather. fucking rancid.

i dont really do an awful lot, mainly ride, hang out with mates, binge on substances, and spend alot of time romancing (or attempting) girls.

i go through stages where my life can become consumed by girls, and then other times when i just get stoned and lark about with my mates.

i dont often like these super modern carbon bikes, but that felt looks fucking ace.

i have a sturmy hub on one of those raliegh roadstars with rod brakes. probably very similar just heavyier. i absolutly loved it, alougth i have alot of experience falling into the nuetral gear.

ive always wanted to put one of these hubs into somthing a lighter and more modern, but im worried that on a bike built for speed im going to be in the nuetral gear territary more often. its very disconcerting when you loose all drive while pelting it. lost a large chunk of my foot becuase of this once.

i reckon id want a higher chainring if i were to do that, i find myself mostly in the top gear on that dinosaur, definatly would want somthing harder on a much lighter/faster bike.

that sprint was sick

what a beut

not sure if this has been posted already. holy shit i love this bike, i like its simplicity. i will build one similar same one day

i do feel i ride with more power now, alough i wonder if it just feels that way after using a heavy gear.

ive never suffured with my knees, but i also so ride SS so i think this is less of a problem.

it is mainly a commute, but i dont really have to stop anywhere along the way.

i want stronger legs so i can be faster uphill, ive got some mental hills around here that make my rides tough.

i ride 20-30 miles everyday plus time fucking around in carparks, and im 6' and rake thin. ive been riding with 52-17 SS for about three years, its the only bike ive owned scince an 80s bmx as a kid.

ive never really noticed much change in th muscle development of my legs, theyve always just been thin. last month i changed to 52-13 SS and have seen a massive change, my legs are getting bigger by the week, its really noticable.

i am finding riding in this gearing difficult, alougth it has got alot easier, but its certainly not practical. everything is alot harder to deal with, even flats where i would normally just spin faster are difficult.

what im wondering is if this is worth it, the idea being that i ride with a hard gear for a while to get bigger muscles, then switch back and take advantage of the new muscle. however i dont know if its more benificial to have faster legs as opposed to strong.

what you reckon?

i love that style of sewn up grip, wanted to do it myself but couldnt work out how i get to it to fit tightly.

could you give use a little how to?

i know its not fixed, but i am very curious about these.

does anyone have any experience of using one?

where can i get one/have a go?

ah yes, unlocking the bike is always a mission by itself. somtimes ive tried repeatedly turning the key around to make it fit for half and hour or so.

i always ride to and from the pub/bar/club, so riding drunk happens fairly often. i ride solid as a rock when drunk even if i cant walk like a human.

i much prefer riding stoned though, the feeling of the air passing over my body feels great, but im alot more cautious than normal becuase i overcompensate for the fact that im baked.

couple of times ive had some pills and had the brilliant decision to go for a ride. it is amzingly fun to do, but afterwoods i always praise the bikes gods that i came out unscathed and feel guilty about how reckless ive been.

i took my rear off becuase i never used it. i dont ever brake around corners just lean more. ive never had my brake fail, i know theres always a first time but i cant see why it would ever happen as long as its set up well.

i dont know why more people dont use powergrips, i think theyre fucking ace.
