That's a bleedin brilliant idea. I'm in nottingham saturday night but already thinking if I leave by midnight, I can be in town with bike by half three. Presumably that's a bit too early - any thoughts on times? Well up for rum-fueled racing, I'll try and dig out my pirate hat.

Sure i'll be out from about 6 for an hour or so

See you at 7. Any chance of bringing a bit of mallet head tube? Otherwise can pick it up on sat

Does the fixie ghost have spook cards in his back wheel?

Ideally earlier rather than later as have a date with the pub.

By the way. Spotted, a guy on a fixie at blue house roundabout, nearly crashed into my car. Think he was wearing a suit and cycle cap and had a really low gear on. Or did I just imagine it?

Alreet, we usually do 7pm mate but sure we can work something out sooner or later. Planning some proper night rides in the near future. Watch this space...

quality 'find' boys, obviously went home too early. just replaced my smashed mallet head with the old stuff but look forward to trying that

Should be ok Phil, just as long as you don't try any skids, otherwise it's coming straight off! I'm in for polo, obviously earlier the better as still haven't got a full set of lights yet. Can just about get there for 6:30 if anyone else can make it...

bummer dude. single speed polo in the dark going to be interesting. forgot about the other wheel though, good news. that hub looks fairly plausible for the money i reckon - may well purchase one myself for the new machine

nightmare, requiring new hub then? someone put a link up on here for a cheap one

I'll be there, gonna be muckle dark by about half past though

We went last year and stayed in the Rygerfjord boat hostel. Was slightly ropey but fairly cheap (about £30 I think). Fortunately I didn't have to stay there as met an impressionable young local girl at Debaser which is a pretty cool indie type bar. Just an excuse to shoehorn that story in obviously but sure I'll go back there next time I visit. The place didn't seem to work out much more expensive than london generally. Didn't have my bike but it would be a brilliant place to ride

nah, it never rains in the toon - well it's meant to be good on thurs anyway...

give us a shout on XXXXXXXXXXXXXX if you get lost

Relocated to private numbers thread

7 o clock mate, bring yo mallet. Gosforth courts.
Salmo, we're going somewhere different tonight, do you want to meet one of us on the high street?

god knows where everyone else is - surely they haven't got anything better to do with their lives... got someone at work to cut up a load of 2" alu tube and feel like a bit of a dick now because it's a lot heavier than I was expecting. still, worth giving it a go.

I'm on for tonight, can meet at the Gosforth courts.

TBC, give us a shout if you're ever up - there's a few of us. Tend to ride around town.

7:30 sounds good, blue house is town moor roundabout right?

Shall we say 7 tomorrow for polo? Alright for you Salmo?

No sign of pete either, maybe we should postpone although I'm ready to go if your bike's ready Phil. Just a thought to be kind to the other members of the forum, maybe we should transfer this thread to the Newcastle group so everyone else doesn't have to read our organising chatter...

just got back from the dirty south and going to go out for a ride now if anyone's about, might be a bit late to organise tonight but up for tomorrow

I build alloy boats and we have various bits anodised without dye which works fine for giving a smart, shiny finish (gets rid of the white oxide layer). Don't tend to use it for anything that's been welded though as it doesn't adhere well to nicks and uneven bits and can turn out pretty ropey. Having said that, for a frame in good condition with nicely tigged butts, reckon you'd be fine and could look quality. You can always spray over it if it looks shit anyway...

Yep, me = there

Same combination as pajamas - can't afford to be too anal but shimano un54 works fine with my RDs and plenty of length options

Thought polo was quality for a first proper attempt. Def time to make up a begged, stolen or borrowed beater though for some no holds barred action. I can prob make 6:30 tomorrow at a push. Gonna be pissing down of course...

on my way
