The legend that is Diamond D

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4MQvAk9aqk&feature=related

Came across Diamond D through the P Brothers dedication to Afrika Islam's radio show, 'The Zulu Beat'.

I'm sure you have all seen this little gem on Youtube. Q tip to a SF ride.

Still to check out his new album.

Needing a campy strada left crank only, 170mm. If anyone has one, please get in contact. Will pay for part + post & packaging costs as you'd expect.

Other bits and pieces I am looking for is cinelli stem and campy pedals, can sit on ebay for them tho so not as urgent.

Thanks for your time.

I stood on a cracked tile whilst waiting to go into the school hall for assembly in primary 4. By default, I therefore fancied Maggie Thatcher.

Bought this for my second fixed gear project.

Frame and forks only.
Have bought bars, cranks and the saddle's coming.
Cinelli, Campagnolo and Brooks. Was wanting to build it up with vintage Italy parts, but seen a Brooks Colt saddle and couldn't resist.

Needing stem, seatpost and pedals. I missed some lovely vintage Campagnolo pedals with Campy straps and cages on ebay last night. Oh well. If anyone has an Itallian make stem, 100mm or less and want to sell, please let me know. Loving the build, but just wanting to ride. Thankfully, I still have my other fist project to ride in the mean time.

After finding out he has collaborated with danger mouse on his latest album, I thought would give the Beck albums on my laptop a listen. Damn good tunes, instantly getting into it. 2005 album Geuro.

This is my fifth message, Im so proud to have graduated out of nursery. Now for that PM.

I'm new, have posted some. Mostly lurking. Its a good forum for picking up bits of info, kudos to all inputing. I ride an old raliegh charlton I picked up via the aptly named freecycle. Drive train ground to a halt quickly after, therefore became a fixed gear conversion. Really enjoy riding her around, nice geometry, slightly too big but comfortable.

Hey man, is the front wheel still available? PM wasn't working for some reason, not enough privilege rights or something. I live in Scotland too.

One technique I use for when heading straight on at a junction with multiple lanes:

Left lane: turning left only
Right lane: heading straight on

When heading upto the junction I sit to the right hand side of the left lane for two reasons.
1 the traffic in the right lane can get past you, meaning when you go through the junction there is less or no traffic behind you and taking the pressure off you and the traffic behind you.
2 The traffic in the left lane does not undertake you, thus sandwiching you between two lanes of traffic. They need to slow down anyway for their left turn.

You are controlling the flow of traffic in that lane and thus defending you position on the road, but being a courteous road user at the same time. Fact

The scene is taking off up here, if you want to come up and muck about, you're more than welcome guys. Might want to change your gearing though :)

If you're in town, we get together on Sunday nights, have a laugh, beers, muck about then ride the town. Edinburgh that is. Im sure you'll be welcome in Glasgow too.
