Where mothers laugh and spray gin-scented spittle over the dirty pub floors in which their children roll, uncaring; where fathers rack up lines of methedrone in a futile attempt to block out the horror of Romford. Romford, they name is legend; across thy putrid gates is the message 'abandon all hope, ye who enter here'. But in truth all that know her name gave up hope long ago.
Lying in the midst of this putrefaction lies a single fixed gear rider with strength left to hold the sacred flame aloft. Will he sell the frame and usher in a new era of peace and tranquillity?
Not without a price he won't.
At least Ipswich is a day out. Romford on a Friday night is akin to Bosch's vision of hell - a mass of seething drunken bodies, torturing one another as maniacal hyena-esque laughter booms out over the soundsystems of a thousand souped up Escorts with whale tails. Foaming Sun-readers spit on the faces of the noble, and all men with good hearts despair.
And in the middle of this seething boil of hades, there's one powdercoated frame with vertical dropouts and no price. Poor show.
ha ha ha ha! i've missed your "romford is hell" poetry, classic.

9ish this morning,
a girl with giro helmet on a gold-ish lugged frame going from old street to holborn, you met a pal on a charge at the holborn lights and asked him the time, he said "9:15". i was the bloke next to you both who said "oh fuck" and then RLJ'd as i realised how late i was.
morning to you both, sorry for riding like a cnut :( -

for sale are these sweet suzue pro max hubs with disco finnish. the front is laced to a mavic open pro cd and the rear (fixed/free) to a mavic cxp 12 (Aero profile V-section, semi deep and very strong!) both rims are in ti grey which looks the tits!
they were hardly used when i brought them off snoops (top bloke) a little while ago and they've only been on a 10 or so mile test ride since. the front rim has minor breaking marks, which are easy to clean up if you wanted to.
pics are here: http://www.londonfgss.com/members8881-albums921.html
i had planned to armortex a frame in "anthrazite" grey to go with these wheels and still think it'd look the nuts but, got my heart set on phils now so these need to go!
i paid £200 with tires and tubes and would like what i paid but feel free to make sencible offers.
i'm in hackney and central for pick ups and happy to deliver if you're not to far.cheers for looking
ha ha, nice. that sheep knows to get the fuck out the way!
