Hi Rob

Replied. That is me. Good work. Drop by for a chat :)

I'm looking for a web designer - someone whose got experience of designing consumer websites and online advertising:

based in Berner St or Norwich if you're that way inclined.

cheers mumbler - it'll prob be after 6.30 then mate. I'll PM you monday am.

ahh - no worries :)

thanks for the advice :)

cheers mumbler - i commute into LPS so that would be great, any chance of a ride on monday? can do mid morning to anytime? i work in north soho (goodge st area) if its easier to meet at lunchtime?

thanks andy - apparently i have a long top half for my height! fuji's are center to top so i might be looking at the 56 then.

ok andyp - can you advise on whether a 5'11andabit" bloke with an inseam of about 83cm would best fit a 54 or 56 fuji track? im used to mountain bikes, small ones as I race 4X and BMX, road sizing feels very weird - massive. I think using this calc (http://www.coloradocyclist.com/bikefit/) I'm mean to be 56 but Im so used to small frames so it feels un-nerving. Ive ridden a 56 but cant find a 54 in stock anywhere to test it out. want to order one before the 09's come in because they are really quite ugly.

Nice track stand at the bottom of Grapes Hill. Not something you see in Norwich everyday :)

bad advice?

thanks everyone - still cant find a 54 to try. 56 (at brick lane) felt ok, just a little big.

how much room should I have between tt and b*ll*cks? when standing? I'm about 5'11".

pearson still seem to have the giant for 225:

I rode a giant (and loads of other OTP) very recently - the giant didnt suit my body shape or I'd have ordered one already. Seemed a good buy though, especially at 225. It felt to me (though I'm new to road sizings) that the large was bigger than the stated size (55 or 55.5 I think) felt a centimeter or so bigger than stated size.

several places have got ACS claw freewheel 16t in stock - a lot better option in my experience on BMX's.

I've got a 16t used shimano - used on a 24" mtb frame in 2 or 3 bmx races. Be open to offers over PM.

just so i can try one?

Shimano do make a 16t - chain reaction cycles sell em - next day delivery usually.

I've found that every Shimano cheap freewheel has its own quirks. Ive had about 6 in the last 10 years and some last ages, some only a few months, some slip a bit and some dont. Dicta are quite poor ACS are the best budget-ish freewheel if you cant stretch to a white.

just PM'd you re bianchi

56tt? what's the seat tube height? mid bb to top.

Will consider most things so if you're looking to shift a used off the peg i'd probably be interested. Must have a flip flop hub and pref a brake - or at least a drilling for one.

Been considering a new OTP or cheap custom from somewhere like brick lane bikes but if there's any used ones out there needing recycling, drop me an email on stevenbennettday[AT]gmail[DOT]com

Prefer steel but not that fussy if the price is good.

i like garageBuy for the Mac.

anyone got a 54 fuji in london i can swing my leg over on tuesday? or know a shop with one in stock? can only find 56, which is ok but i think i might prefer a 54.

The standard Plug was still 399 in 2 Evans shops I was in yesterday. The one just off Oxford St and Spitalfields.

Anyone have an opinion on what the Brick Lane Bikes custom build are like - using their own BLB frame?

Personally I think everyone should own, love then disown a fuji by way of apprenticeship

that might be advice im about to take! im from an mtb bg so road is new. dont want to spend much at first.

ridden a giant bowrey - not too keen on sizings for me
ridden a spec langster - felt pretty good
charge plug - feels heavy like an mtb
trying to get my leg over a fillimore and a fuji this afternoon :)

Just rode a Bowrey in 55.5 and it felt massive! compared to the Langster anyway. I'll stop boring you all now with OTP questions - thanks for all help.

Ok - just test ridden a 56 Langster and its a good fit. Looking at the cheap Giant Lowry (http://www.pearsoncycles.co.uk/page/114/Bowery) as its so cheap its impossible to ignore, will the Large (55.5) be a similar size? Sorry for numpty questions, I'm not sure on road bike geometry etc.

Whow - that thread is detailed! Thanks for the links - I'll try and work it out :)

What is Brick Lane Bikes like? Just found them via Google. Might check them out alongside the other chainstores near Liverpool St.
