THIS IS A SERIOUS RESPONCE TO A VERY COMMON PROBLEM>,Hi to all of you out there,and especially those poor sods that have been suckered into WHITE SADDLES,PALE YELLOW SADDLES or any of the other PALE CONTINENTAL SHADES to park your botties on.DO NOT EVER-EVER-EVER-NEVER- NEVER -NEVER clean your precious possessions with detergent,it is CHEMICAL even the one that's kind to mummies hands and washes a zillion dishes for next to nowt will murder your by now GROTTY LOOKING WASTE OF HARD EARNED WONGA.If it is only lightly soiled from your immaculate white strides you should only ever use THE LATHER off PURE SOAP in TEPID WATER.I REPEAT ONLY THE LATHER.Sturgene,or Stardrops are the easiest to obtain,but you could raid your Grannies cupboard for some LUX SOAP FLAKES.Modern Leathers are treated and finished with special lacquers that allow the leather to breath but offer some protection from soilng.They should be cleaned and fed with a hide food/conditioner product,ideally from the manufacturer of the hide.If you have colour transfer/ingress from your clothing,BLUE & BLACK DENIM is the worst of the lot for this problem it is already to late it is dead."MYSRIP".WASH IT,STAIN IT BLACK or DARK BLUE polish it up and FLOG IT ON ebay as:- used,died(dyed)and revived,FREE TO GOOD HOME,postage paid.

What about, Gullible Cyclists Money Depositary.I have returned to cycling with a modest TWO WHEEL MACHINE after a long time absence.I am amazed at some of the hype to part you from your wonga.When my "nursery period" is over I might open up a little,I will accept the flack as and when and duck and weave as neccesary.I THANK the fact that stocks are not easily found these days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

Hi to all of you BLACK SPOKE NIPPLE & BLACK SPOKE FANS,this cosmetic treatment is a bit like the attractive catch at the disco club(whatever your attraction might be!!!!)when all of the make-up comes off it can sometimes be a shock and dissapointment,and could get you asking yourself and/or others:-why did I fall for it!!!???.Stay with CHROME SPOKES & NICKLE PLATED NIPPLES,with care and TLC now and again you will have love for a long time.

Hi to dbnyc,nice fixed wheel.It takes me back to the days of my 1937 Hetchins Curly(when I rode Fixed Wheel)and only one brake(on the front)The cranks you have on your bike might well strike the floor if you are an around time speed queen.Check the TIPPED OVER clearance with the pedal at its lowest point,Flight with the bike between your knees and strapped in/on is not funny,and definitely is painful on impact!!!.Shorter cranks(I use 140mm with a 52:42:32 chain ring set up)I can't ride fixed any more(metal left knee) and a reduction of one or two teeth on the sprocket will increase your candence and be less prone to incidents & a ride home in an ambulance via the hospital.Oh by the way I gave up looking for a machine that I could stand over(I couldn't stand the laughter and 12" wheels were not on!!!).I am only 4' 10&1/2 with a 23&1/2 inside leg.I ride a big boys bike,but sometimes get dizzy so high in the air,but at least I can see through the traffic now.HAPPY & SAFE RIDING TO YOU.

Hi to blix,is the bucket beneath the machine because you have just performed a liquid ballast change change,it looks light enough to blow away if left unattended.Do you have a front brake attached with Velcro when out on the highway,it might create the illusion that it is street legal!!!.

To max72,nice clean lines!!!,I bet it don't weigh much.Do you actually take this out into the concrete jungle, or just ride it around you palatial home?.Do you carry an Anchor on your trouser belt to aid in emergency stops.For greater standing/stationary balancing acts as in the old days of track racing & at the traffic lights(YES WE DID OBSERVE THE HIGHWAY CODE)(1 FRONT BRAKE FOR ROAD USE)try some traditional leather shoes,nail on plates & toe clips with straps tight.Safe and enjoyable riding to you.
