hmmm, its only really the frame i want, so i'm out unless you end up splitting it down in which case i'd dibs the frame. sorry dude

i've been riding full carbon kinesis attack forks for past couple of years and think of myself as an aggressive rider. never had any problems. banging up down curbs, alleycats, few falls but no major impacts. thinkin of replacing them at the moment, mainly as i have more money and want better stuff although i am considering swapping them out for ally steerer ones just for the piece of mind. i have an ally dolan so carbon suits them, wouldn't really consider running anything else

i'll take the bonty levers. PM sent

i'm gonna be about so will come check it out. can't do any tricks though, alleycat/sprints would be more my thing.

yeah, i live in Gay Paris too, and can roughly translate for you if something comes up, or i'l just ask my flatmate who knows it all
PM me with your details

ah brilliant, more folk in paris. Moved here in january. Momentum, also of this forum, is in town, too. There is some pretty regular riding going on, at least I am out on the bike a lot.

sol / a¦s i'm always looking for folk to go riding with, so PM me! I'm also after longer rides / training stuff, if that's you, give me a yell. The pignonfixe.com lot go out on thursday night I think.

and today is the only nice day for the whole week so i'm going out on the bike now!

PM'd you both

also sent a message to rock'n'rollin fixie club. went on their ghost ride the other week but felt a bit out of my depth not knowing any French. was good riding though! up for riding pretty much anytime, especially at weekends as i do the 9-5 grind in Massy. Living in city centre though.

been trying to wade through pignon fixe using google translator but it's tough going. any idea where and when they meet on thursday's?

Currently living in Paris, staying here till May. Enjoying riding in the city but trying to find out more about regular rides and stuff. Tried pignonfixe but i speak literally zero French so no idea what's going on. Any of the Paris residents know of any regular riding going on?

ah, of course they are. what a prat!

+1 NOS Omegas FTW.

sorry for the massive pics!

and whats the difference between omega V and omega 19?

ah right, did try the search but must have used too many search terms, cheers!

cheers guys, was looking at open pro cds but they seem kinda grey rather than black, although they are a viable opportunity as they're easily available.
araya rs-430s look perfect but seem to be like rocking horse shit

Anyone aware of any, ideally in black?

that's if downlo no longer wants it, just noticed his pm

no worries, just though i'd try in case it'd fallen through

i'll have it, 45 posted to Manchester?

i'll have the black miche supertype if its still available? will pay extra for the postage to Manchester

Maximum sexytime:

anyone know what the saddle is on this? looking for something similarly stealthy

Someone clearly more awake than me on a planet x carbon jobby up oxford road this morning. Looks fucking ace.

dave?

these seem cheap as they're 72 quid on parker international. not sure what they are like though as i've never used one before.....

is the bag still available?

Crawley's a fair bit further south than Croydon (about 15-20 mins on the train). Cycling is pretty good in the area, and you can get out into the countryside immediately. Getting into London by bike is another matter, but Southern trains have bike carrying capacity.

I'm from Horsham which is 10ish miles from Crawley so I might be able to help.

Crawley is pretty shitty, it is rideable (just like anything is) but getting the train is the sensible option. Trains to Clapham Junction will be your best bet and will take around 40 minutes. Southern trains always have a bike carridge so it's not too bad getting the train. Not really worth it for drinks everyweek but for big forum rides or events it won't be much trouble at all.

As James said you can get out in to the sticks really easily and there are some nice quite roads about, I'd suggest getting some gears though.

thanks for the help, figured i'd be able to cycle to three bridges and get the train from there as they seem to run more regularly

kind of what i feared about crawley, although i'm originally from st helens in the north west so can't be much worse than that (i hope)

got a road bike too, hoping to get into more competitive riding/poss. triathlons. you familiar with any cycling clubs in the area? hoping to head to herne hill fairly regularly too, maybe for weekend rides.

Moving down to Crawley from Manchester at the beginning of January at pretty short notice. Not familiar with the area at all and was wondering if anyone knowledgeable could give me an idea of what the area is like for access to London.

Been told Crawley is a bit weird so wanna be getting into London as much as possible, looking at the trains i gather its on the line into Croydon? Is it plausible to be riding in?

Basically trying to work out whether regularly getting into town for events and rides (beers, guessing it'd be south/southeast, rollapaluza league, herne hill etc) is gonna be problematic.

Any help appreciated, feeling a bit out of my depth!
