I wouldn't have spotted it if I hadn't been waiting for a bus. They do have some good kids' bikes as well as the antique stuff. I like their principle of reconditioning old bikes to put them back on the road.
It's called 're-cycle' and it's on elephant road just off the new kent road
there's usually something interesting to look at in there
don't remember it being particularly cheap though -
thanks very much, I think the rest of the parts are muted enough for the frame to be a bit wild (and i decided I was too lazy to paint it)
it's an x-up, this is a turndown (though not my best, legs are too bent and it's not hitting my shin like it should :( )
which park are you riding???
i'm in need of somewhere to survive the rest of the winter -

brixton is not as good by far....peckham is tech with bigger faster burms.....brixton is not built as well as it could of been
stockwell is the best outdoor park in london
although i'd be interested in riding the track in peckham if they let people in without brakes.anyone here digging at any trails??

good point, you are right.
You're probably right.
Memo to self: HTFUwell, as an example;
this can be avoided if you assumed every vehicle is driven poorly, i.e. assumed that any car will turn left or right, even if it not indicating.
In this case, you can simply learn to assumed that the car ahead will turn left onto your path, even if it not going to.
unfortunately i did,
i moved myself out of the bus lane on and into the traffic,
this failed to be any good to me today.
chased after him, but was defeated by a red at elephant roundabout.
there was a bus stop with some people there and a cyclist behind me but i guess none of them were feeling helpful
guess i'll put it down to experience
and maybe step up the protection from this

managed to get taken down this morning on the new kent road on my way in to work,
a minicab driver was feeling impatient and decided to pull out of a side road and take my wheel out as he did so.
no serious damage happened to me or my bike however he did keep driving, even with me knocking on his window.
i was wondering if anyone else has been in a similar situation.....completely fail to get his reg unfortunately
looks like he got away with it -

My fixed is on ebay, still waiting for my new one... Been riding my road bike about in central Londona nd absolutely hate it. I feel fine on it out in the countryside, but it feels as kisu_shimu says, completely out of control. Wish FBM would hurry the fuck up
good choice,
i wish i could afford one of those
post a pic once it's built -

on a baby blue frame with 4 piece bars
those trails at haywards heath look well worth a visit
i need to pick a shovel up sometime soon
