it might have been it's those bike that look worryingly decent, but realistically shitter than dog's poo.

Think I saw him too actually. Saw some unipacks for sale..they do look good...although why they leave them all wrapped up in cardboard I do not know...

Anyone see a 6ft bloke with a grean jacket and redish beenie? That be me :D
I'll be headed towards rough trade to pickup a CD on my then new freestyler on Sat around midday. 6.5mile journey here i come..

Stalkerish but photo of superted. First time I see a londonfgss person in real life, probably because I can't remember any of your faces from the bike-face thread..not that I'd want to O_o

Location: Brick Lane.

If you want to quickly change the freestyler's priec from £359 to £348, same link and all :)

EDIT: Same dealio for plug racer.

What's with police in vans shouting at people?

I got shouted at by police in a van when I was riding in circles at a red light. The cycle box was fucking huge, I could have ridden round and round all day long.
The only reason I was doing it anyway was so I didn't get stopped for going through the red light.

Probably reduces the guilt from not getting outside of the warmth of the cabin..

dips, what have you done to get that finish? what's the technique?

A dose of HTFU and some serious amounts of elbow grease.

Maybe get the resident list maker to create a survey?

Hefty bit of engineering there. What's it for?

Pretty interesting thread, bit old though but it's your own..

Funny that you should come from around Killadelphia/NY. I was born in NY and having lived in London for the last 12 years, planning to go back there for Uni!

NOT that anyone cares...

I am 100% deaf, I have hearing aids that sound like a broken radio, and I found the best way to explain my deafness is that I can´t tell the difference between a bird´s tweet and the squeal of a double decker´s brake.

But the thing with seeing instead of listening, your eyes never lie, (expect when it come to cleverly hidden pothole on rainy dark evening might be different), your ears might, at least mine does a lots more than hearing people, what if a cyclist coming up behind you? you don´t often hear them since they tend to be quiet especially fixed wheel bicycles in a windy day, what if you can´t hear an electric car coming up on your right, left or behind you? etc.

I see that relying on your ears might be more problematic than looking out more often.

Does that affect your balance at all?
Can you cope with speach at all?

Sorry if the questions are personal...I'm just a curious person by nature..

Bloke with red anorak, brown/beige visor beenie, what looked like a white genesis frame. Cateye light on seatpost. Heading off Victoria Street in front of the Abbey at around 6:20pm today.

eyehategod ftw! (bit more upbeat innit)

Tried it. I couldn't, I honestly gave it a good chance, in fact it's still on my ipod on the off chance it plays on shuffle but I can't do it..You heard of Torche?

They've grown quite a bit since their first album which is the only one I've actually listened to. Mentor (last song) is insaaane. http://www.myspace.com/torche

I left my iPod in the pocket of my jacket when it went through the washing machine last week. 3 days on the radiator and hey presto it was working a treat....what a result

Wish I was so lucky. Mine got a sprinkler treatment after it slipped out my pocket when I was having a nap on the grass...the wheel stopped working at first, now it's capput.

Sigur Ros! My kinda band. Me likey.

I like the responses, the focus on reasons rather than what actual artists.

Keep them coming boys :)

@Victorwilliams - I see your seat is pretty low. Is that how you like it or is it the frame's size which means you have to sit that low?

Good on you sir, cinq point.
You'd think the flaky frame would put off the thieves..not that I think it looks bad. I'm all for the used and abused look.

Also, I doubt you would get much echo in heavy traffic. To be honest I'd just want to hear the long vehicle charging to my right signalling left -_-

A bit of a chat later and he was telling me he could get 20mph+ from it, so I'm glad I stopped.

Tbh You'd probably be miles away by the time it got to that speed..plus your heart won't run out of batteries :D
I find Hyde Park policemen really picky though, I was riding look mum no hands and was shouted at by a parked police van...
It's a nanny state I tell you a goddam nanny state..

Evans Cycles in Fulham were brilliant. Big store and car-free paved/cobbled area right outside to try bikes to you hearts desire! Helpful and informed lot too.

an early example of photo chop. oh and the drive side is technically which ever side the drive is on.

Indeed.

Also explains the chopped wink.

metallic violet and yellow.

M83 would be great, especially at night.

In the Cold I'm Standing sounds perfect for that.

They look awsome, but unfortunatly being the sound snob i am, what's the sound quality like?

Put it this way, I use mine for decoration along with my mini Les Paul lighter...

Electric Wizzard! Not my cuppah but doom has a small place somewhere in my tastes.

you into them specialist mags? Big n bouncy etc?

Say what?

:))

I'm trying to offload my Cannondale Chase 3 2005, only rode it a few times, has a dirt jump geometry so just put the seat up for normal riding, i converted it to single speed (but have all the original gears etc) .Originally cost me £750. £200 and it's yours.

Not trying to stop you have a conversation about riding with music but there is a good music thread that has developed almost into a battle style.

I'll be honest, I did search and see that thread but I guess I'm taking a different approach but fair do's.

QOTSA

Yes! Feel Good hit of the summer. Think I lost my Headache. Autopilot for the wind-down.

This starts my day though:
