Nice one - my sort of ride - so long as period costume is not compulsory!
-
It's more a case of harmful to the environment - chromium and it's processing is not particularly environmentally friendly; but, clearly, chromium plating parts of a bike are small scale compared to military uses etc which are being reduced/substituted by alternatives.
So it's really a matter of conscience nowadays!

@wibble - dibs on jersey - will pm you
-
Also available at Tour de Ville (see the website for info/pics of different colours etc) - £80.
Bought a pair last week - just couldn't resist!

It's not that kind of shop - although Rob tends to be open most days, times/days may vary - try calling ahead (probably best not too early). Contact details on the website.

Sorry mr huge, I'm just crap at this sort of thing!

Out of curiosity, popped into urban outfitters to take a look at their vintage jerseys and,as Matt said they are rather obscure (not that I have a problem with obscurity), but they are also, well, not very exciting which is probably why they are now half the original price and in the sale section.
Wandering around the rest of the store I, rather bizarrely, came across a selection of rather fine Dutch/Belgian winter cycling caps - mostly large or medium £18 should anyone be interested. Could not resist getting this one:
-
Nice! I'll take two - the "Eric' and the white "Bikesport".
Will PM

Well worth it if the pic is doing it justice...almost too good to convert.
Keep the hubs (or the front at least - can't make out what's happening at the back) - looks like classic Normandy so you can use or sell; groupset should also be of interest so I wouldn't throw away any of it...

Agreed with benjam- it's a 'play it by ear' situation....not so sure about the first part of the last line though!

Grey medium correct typeface, yes please.

There are also some short stretches of pave along there parallel to the Thames pathway should you fancy a touch of Paris-Roubaix.
If you are in Bermondsey you could go to Greenwich via Deptford and stop off and look in at Witcomb's one of London's famed frame-builders. At Greenwich you can take the foot tunnel under the Thames and come up on the other side via a lovely old wood-panelled lift.
Once there you can go on to Canary Wharf/Docklands or go via the Limehouse Basin along the canal to Islington and beyond if you go back on to the road for a bit.
If that is a bit too tame then you can come off at plenty of places along the route such as Victoria Park; alternatively you can take the Lea Valley branch up towards Chingford which is less busy and more rural - we took in some of this last week on the vintage jersey run.

Interesting, but still not proper police - PCSOs are the plastic ones.
Do any proper plods still ride bikes at all in Great Britain?
-
"Easy"
Surely that pic don't count as it's in the States - they can cycle on the pavement with their hipster guns and make the peds look guilty for getting in the way. -
Big shout of thanks to Fresh and all those involved in the organisation - brilliant day!

It's quite clear - Communism is dead, long live Fixisme!

Definitely TACHE!

....and will we have one on Sunday?
