Black Dolan ridden by guy in red/blue cycling top nipping down Victoria Rd onto Slade Lane early yesterday evening.

Yet the polo section of this very site contains this gem of inclusive tolerance:

Those aren't the folding ones, these are.

So another £15 each at SJS. Best I could find was £24 a pop but I've not herd of the site before so can't vouch for it:

Just ordered a Bombtrack

Rage against the sewing machine? ;-)

Whats wrong with the Thomson?

needs chrome

^ This. Also if you're going to the trouble of world cup stripe spacers then get them to match the bands on the frame.

That just shows that a liberal society really can take this tolerance thing to far at times.

Nice bike, but why post a pic 4x higher than most peoples screen res? The link was a lot better way to do it.

I'm actually more against the black stem than the wooden bars. That and the spacers being in the wrong order.

My first thought was bad choice polo rig but the owner uses it has his commuter...

What sort of pressure are you running them at and in what way was it hard? The tyres look like they would be OK for dry trails but might lack bite in the gloopy stuff. Lowering the pressure for off road can make a world of difference to the feel.

As for the post perhaps think about shortening the stem if the reach feels long. You need to keep weight back a bit for grip and it helps keep the front end light for lifting. Even just rotating the bars back can make a hell of a difference and would cost you nothing to try.

Maybe he'd be better off in the Spok thread seeing as he has all those plastic dreams.

Clown with whip obscured. Animal exploitation thread

^ This. I may not be 100% veggie but I draw the line repeated humiliation.

We need six of those in adult size to start the next trend in polo. Got to be an advancements for the sport, they even have a cup holder for your beer.

Yeah, and we also know the dangers of the shit you find via Google ;-)

If things get really desperate I might be able to help short term for a few nights but the landlord here would not be cool with night work and sleeping in the day is impossible round here due to the workshop downstairs. It would be down to him but he's a good sort for helping in emergencies.

I might well be looking to move on myself soon if he's considering getting a new house going. It's not been the same vibe following the trouble earlier in the year :-(

Maybe start a thread in current projects section of this site. It's a good way to get input of others.

Above all else though don't for gods sake listen to Rob when he suggests you use it to play polo!

Looks like going to answer the door means most of what I typed in reply has now been covered so I'll just leave the last bit:

Please take the time to learn as you go and ask lots of questions. I'd suggest you start by reading the seminal resource on the web for bikes:

Everybody has to start somewhere but you kind of dived in at the deep end with this one.

Even then it would be more likely to have gone into the back of her thigh than the front as the video shows. What's also puzzling is the apparent lack of any bruising around the entry wound. I'd have expected to see some marking from the bars.

As for the brake debate - I ride F&R when fixed. Went to front only and had a crash when my worn SPD cleat unclipped whilst pulling a skid stop, grabbed the front brake and went over the bars resulting in a broken scaphoid. Since then I'll only ride with two brakes. It may not be cool, but then I never was to begin with.

You didn't hear the fireworks, horns or screaming neighbours? I don't even follow football but knew what had happened from the noise next door.

On the spot front. Tricross single in SS mode with rear rack and seriously mucky chain locked up in the middle of Levy.

Looks like the brake levers have been set close to the bar for small hands and it looks like a female saddle. I can't see any mechanic putting the saddle rails at that sort of position and riding it.

HHSB - Silver Pug conversion with double white Spoks and a red chain. Narrowest set of flat bars I've ever seen, can't have been the full width of his hands. A6 Levvy about 6pm ish.

A shit.

I think Rob nailed it there.

Rob has finally realised his advances on Drew will never get him anywhere and he's seeking fresh meat?

I've got an OpenPro on SystemX rear wheel and it's been superb for me. If it can take a fat bloke with no bike skills for 3 years riding light trails, towpaths and the like it's got to be a solid combo.
