With black washers and lock rings?

Black or red Mack's? And get him to do a red/black lock ring and washers? Don't think he anodises white but not sure.

That's so horrible dots are appearing in front of my eyes

Are you fucking kidding me?!

What's the problem with waiting for hubs? Mack's take 9 weeks at the moment, but worth it I'd say, I've just put an order in.

I've just bought a track frame, should be getting it next week. I don't ride on the track though, so I'm just going to hang it on the wall as a work of art.

Just ride it on the road, it's not going to break. And like Ste says get a break you can take off reasonably easy.

It's powered by gas.

does it come with the gas?

First step: give up LFGSS. Do you think Hoy has time for internet? ;)

I haven't done near what Cav has, nevermind Hoy.

@JapeS sorry for belated reply but just had to say this is beautiful, really nicely done.

Might look even nicer with black cranks ;) But do love a nice black and white combo.

Are the bars/stem B123's and a pearl?

lovely

Last night went for dinner with a group of people including someone whose friend is c crew for Easyjet.

The other day she's walking through the plane, most people have already got off. One woman gets up and there is a wet patch on her seat. So she asks passenger if it's something that needs cleaning up, to which the passenger says:

"It's piss. I'm not paying a pound to use your toilets."

Arriving at work in Angel at 9am was quite interesting, complete traffic meltdown from Barnsbury Road/Penton Street onwards, cars everywhere. Lots more cyclists than usual, none that really caused me any problems but there was a few points where they were all over the road and getting past was a bit tricky. Did quite a lot of riding down the wrong side of the road this morning, which was nice. Huge numbers of peds walking up Pentonville Road, like some kind of walking critical mass.

Plus I saw a guy on a white unipack with a frame mounted air horn! Honk!

The other nice thing about Brixton is your pair of blue Phil Wood hubs have my name on them. So glad to hear this, as long as you're not building my wheels ;)

The nice thing about brixton is that everyone but me is a certified DT Swiss wheel builder.

Did you have a front brake before the crash?

Have to say, S&S Cycles on Chapel Market (it's not in the N1 centre) bit dodg, IMO.

That ad is so West London - it's Crianza, which means aged for at least two years in oak barrels. And they'll even throw in the hairdryer, hilarious. Surprised they're not throwing in one of these:

You forgot to ask for Sugino 75s at a bargain price.

Completely agree, knowing how to Google is clearly the real test of intelligence.

Arendt you ever going to stop these ridiculous puns? Knowing lots of names of philosophers doesn't make anyone seem smarter.

Sorry to hear that. Do you mind telling us how it was locked/what with?

I don't know if I can take these puns anymore. I might have to Bayle out.

Rand is, how dare you. After she wrote the Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged, she wrote and lectured on objectivism.

Kant ;)

Mach us stop.

Guys, please! Repost central over here!

Of course the best option is to avoid lights entirely and go Rand.

I damaged both wheels going through a red once. Fortunately a passing motorist told me I'd Bentham.

Very sad. Obviously I feel for her colleagues anyway, but if you've encouraged people to cycle to work and this happens it must make you feel terrible, even though you know you did the right thing. I encourage people I know to cycle all the time, including at work. I'd be devastated if they were killed in an incident like this.

They want a fixed gear type bike because it has clean lines and would look nice in the gallery

All this precious shit about fixed riding gets up my nose sometimes - it's only a bike - the more people riding them the better, they're for riding, not posing.

! Your first paragraph has a point though mobidog.

The bottom bit of York Way is pretty shit. Someone said further up the thread that going down Amwell Street is bad, I would argue going up is much worse, may have changed in the last six months since that post though. I go down Copenhagen Street every day and I'm sure it's getting worse, but that could just be the roadworks.

Same for everyone, took me ages to get used to it. Had to keep riding along with one foot clipped in, it was really annoying. SPDs do help though if you can't be bothered to learn the black art.

First off, had a bit of trouble getting into my second clip (ride clip + strap) - I'm used to starting off then engaging the second whilst coasting.
