anyone got any black drops, preferably non-anatomic ones?

also after some black, deep drop bull horns, like the mavic ones or old profiles (not airwings)

hope there's still tickets come payday next wednesday.....

if someone finds stockpile of ski poles at the ChillfactorE, i will swap love/beer for one>?

i work there, a majority of them are graphite so not gonna be much good for polo i imagine

the aluminium ones are for kids and they don't have many, the ones that bend just get straightened out and reused, they're that tight.

i can see if i can liberate some though......

did the same trip last july, marrakech is cool, really hectic and once you do touristy stuff not actually that much to do. the djema is cool at night and you can eat well and really cheaply, stalls of merguez sausages and kebabs, really good

the souks are interesting but get boring after a while, a spa trip is worth it, you get steam session massage and all sorts of stuff for about 30 notes

essaouira made the trip for me, loads more relaxed especially with regards to smoking hash and drinking alcohol, the harbour is awesome, traditional fishing boats everywhere but the beach is not really for anything but cowering from the wind. windsurfing/kitesurfing mecca, didn't have enough cash to give it a go at the time but hoping to go back this summer to learn. if you're looking to buy anything silver or leatheer goods wait to you get to essaouira. the souks are cheaper, less rip off merchants and the haggling is less aggresive, you feel much happier once you've made a purchase here

where you staying in essaouira? theres a really cool hostel, hostel essaouira, very reasonably priced, the rooms are awesome, especially the doubles and the guy that runs it bizbiz will sort you out with beer and smoke very reasonably. if you can't be bothered going out to eat they cook up a big tajine each night, awesome food and cheap as.

pm me if you're after anymore details, can't rave about essaouira enough, marrakech is cool but limited and less progressive than the coastal town

I own one of these, it's cracked in 2 places. This happened on the first and second rides. It now makes a clickety-click noise when you pedal hard. This is apparently a very common fault.

Go with a decent stripped road saddle or buy a Arione K:1

cheers, good to know, was about to shell out for one too!

Like this?

yeah thats sweet, even more lo-profile, what saddle is it?

Saw a lovely dolan, breakless with bullhorns outside lass o gorwie last nite? And then a white frame possibly black forks whizz down oxford road outside bbc? Didn't really get a good look as it was dark. Think u mite have had a postie bag?

dolan is luke

cool, thanks for you help. watch this space.....

it was me, it was an SLR.
gonna do a flite after seeing objects.

pic on my profile page

sweet, that's the exact picture i was looking for, nice one.

is it a carbon base?

what'd you use to lacquer it? was it just a paint on type product from a can or sprayed on professionally

not gonna use an slr so it won't be exactly the same as yours, gonna look at a couple of different options

fluro yellow conversion locked outside deansgate number one. did look to see the make but forgotten it. something holland maybe, first name begin with an M.

memory fail

in lieu of not being able to find a tioga spyder saddle at a decent price i'm looking to strip a saddle back to it's base moulding

Remember seeing a saddle on here that someone had stripped the padding off, leaving the plastic/carbon base, looked really low profile. Can't find the post or remember whose it was, anyone else know?

was looking to do a similair thing but wasn't sure which saddle they'd used or what which would be most suitable.

In answer to your question my friend, I run 42-18 / 70', which is a little spinny but fine for tearing around through the city. I was just breaking some new tape/bars in before Tricks that night, so not putting the hammer down.

Don't worry Nes, Nasty can be as mean as he wants. It'll be all the funnier when he's eating fakenger dust.

you sure? i'm running 47-17 and thats 74GI. 42-18 is low 60s i think?! or am i fucking up the calc?

stand to get this if i get a first in my degree, was a gift to my Dad from a business friend around twenty or so years ago

bit bling for me, but something that means alot

i hate the fact i've just put my ipod through the wash.... for the third time

proper mechanical industrial stuff

Has anyone mentioned Robert Henke yet? Dunno if he counts as a producer, but he's one of the most important men in electronic music today, at least from my perspective.

monolake = robert henke

awesome producer under all his aliases and really varied output.

proper acoustics/audio tech boffin too.

monodeck II that he co-created is a seriously cool interface, not to mention his involvement with ableton etc

proper mechanical industrial stuff

how practical is it to use mtb/dh cranks on a track bike?

looking at cheap crankset and some of the mtb stuff comes up as being pretty cheap, in particular the truvativ hussefelt set, typically a double set.

i'm guessing such a chainset would give a chainline other than the typical 42mm for track? obviously this'll then mean getting a shorter axle BB to bring the chainring in for better chainline?

if the crankset is isis does this then limit the choice of BB axle length and so the likelihood of a good chainline?

any other potential problems i should be aware of?

is this gonna be exacerbated by trying to put them on a conversion as opposed to a track frame?

cheers

can't believe no-one's mentioned rob hood yet! daddy of minimal techno, not the minus crew ket bollocks, proper stripped down dark room techno, awesome stuff

some of the detroit underground output is pretty interesting. alot more glitchy and warped then what you'd necessarily associate with the detroit vibe, kero et al bringing it

like alot of UR stuff but saw the interstellar fugitives live show and though it was pretty toss.

santiago salazar is a decent dj and suburban knight has played good shows when he's bothered turning up

birmingham sound FTW for me though, Surgeon, Regis , Female and the proper industrial sound has always interested me that little bit more. most of surgeons productions are simply awesome and his live shows are something else.

not scary so much but terry gilliam's 'tideland' is a pretty weird fucked up film. totally twisted movie.

French Tomas is ace......my tat has gone from his archive though.

awesome tattoo, always stood out when browsing Tomas' galleries. Would love some stuff from him, just gotta get enough money saved! some geometric dotwork on the front of both shoulders....

always liked these ones as well,

Patrick Hutlinger is worth checking out too, Germany based but guests in Sheffield and London quite alot, dotwork specialist but alot stronger and bolder style than most. http://www.tattoomangon.com

Shige's japanese stuff is another level tho, looks like a painting. Insane.

looking forward to it. bit nervous bout the route but should be fun!

I think I have got a BMX one back in Cornwall- I can check tomorrow, its black and I think DB, bars ae going to be 25.4 I guess and its a 1 1/8th clamp on if thats what you are after (although I do have a quilled BMX stem in silver too)

black one sounds ideal, not after a quilled one, forks are threadless, you be able to sort any pics? cheers

pref black, downhill/mtb or bmx stem would be ideal

anyone got anything? doesn't have to be in that good nick, going on beater

sorry for delay getting back, think 75mm is gonna be too long for me so i'm out

Bit of a long shot but anyone got a one of these saddles they would be willing to sell. Remember someone mentioning one on here at some point.
