I put some white cinelli bar tape on my bike about two years ago. It's a light-brown colour now and you're welcome to have it ;-)

btw, how did you make the decal? did armourtex lacquer it after?

Was just about to say I swear I saw that frame in cavendish cycles on Saturday!

Nice paint job.Is Toxteth where you're from?

bad luck mate. got any photos?

Not really a meme, I know, but it made me laugh.

Not everyone has the ability to choose where they work. That doens't mean that nike, adidas or any other corporate has the right to exploit people.

cyclotron3k, it is sadly because these people (often children) have no alternative that they are capable of being exploited.

Ok, so I forgot about this thread for a while...

Please don't judge me, but I genuinely don't understand this argument. They can chose not to work there, right? Was it worse or better before the sweatshop was built?

Dunwich, and gold at the surrey legs of steel! (going for silver this year :) )

And learn how to build a wheel.

Thanks Chopsicle, that sounds great :)

you are not looking at the bigger picture are you? think global, my friend.

What is the bigger picture?

Besides, if low wages are the problem, that's something their government needs to fix with legislation. Similarly for poor working conditions. Companies are never going to do that out of the goodness of their hearts.

Shame that Adidas, despite not being nike, are still a massive corporation obsessed with nothing but their profit line, fuck basic human rights, fuck everything that gets in our way. And lets just appropriate any "scene" that we think will help us market our product better.

No thanks.

If conditions are so bad, why do people work there?

(Not condoning it; just wondering)

the 8.5 shoe size limit is a bit weird! Adidas make shoes right? Of different sizes?

There's literally millions of these:
YouTube- Church drum and bass rave

This thread culminated in a nice route that might sort you out.

Ah, cool. Thanks.

Yeah, cheers guys. I did find that thread, but information on south london hills is fairly sparse in that thread. (excluding the list of s.e. hills in the second post)

Some other people mention a hill here or there , but no real routes.

I'll compile my own and put it on here for future reference...

A friend is signing me up to Surrey legs of steel (again), which is a very hilly 80km ride. In Surrey. Really beautiful ride. If you can see through the sweat and tears.

Anyway, I'm as unfit now as I was then, but this time I'm thinking about doing a bit of training!

Does anyone know some good hills to practice on? Preferably around south London.

I recall there's one between Brixton and Herne Hill. Anyone got any good routes they can recommend?

Cheers

Haha! Balls!

Ace :)

edit - aah, somehow missed your post right there ^^^ which says "every Tuesday, 7pm". Me = dunce.

On again, Tuesday next week?

tried to ignore the raleigh - and failed. very nice ;-)

is that a sugino messenger on it?

You shouldn't be spinning out on that gearing at 20mph as you are doing less than 90RPM!
If so you need to work on your cadence by reducing your road gearing to low-mid 60s

You should hit at least 35 mph before spinning out on that gearing.

For the track, most people race the league with about 88-90 GI the sprinters will use 90+

I guess for these sessions Rob would probably want you all to be around the 84-86 mark. Though I may be wrong

Sheldon Brown's GI calculator says I have a GI of 78.8 (turns out I didn't count wrong - I am on 48/16)

So if I'm spinning out at, maybe 25mph, what does that mean? I need to work on spinning my legs faster? It just feels uncomfortable, and if I'm going slightly downhill at the time I'll start bouncing around in my saddle.

Haha, just spotted in the comments:

My son's addicted to it. It's terrible! He's told me he's never going to give it up.

Haha! good spot!

I was unexpectedly rickrolled by Virgin Media's on-hold music the other day.

wiki says radar!

I tried this in Bristol once. There's a camera on a downhill section near Badminton school. No luck though. I assumed it was my lack of a radar cross-section, rather than a rubbish speed ;-)
