Rab...there is no comparison.

Kudos to you my friend...

...my concern is the snaky winding road of Boxhill. That is a mission on a geared bike. Fixed wheel will take a long time.

In all seriousness the hospital route is poignant.

London is easier than Boxhill? Isn't it?

...on a fixed wheel bike...THAT'S MENTAL!

Let's keep it hospital route.

Mister G.

Growth is good!

We really should do the actual day (25th Sept) but then again the Saturday might be more appropriate as no one will have to take a day off work...

...either way I'm easy for which ever day.

Good shout for hospitals. Plus being in London there is a far greater chance of riders.

My friends name is Hannah Kofshun. She's a new recruit, less than a month I believe.

Should I mention to her that such a ride is going ahead? Plus what was the proposed date for the cycle?

With reference to the Cambridge route...is everyone from that part of the world?

Something a touch closer to London might be preferable.

Hi Clever Pun,

That's a tasty bit'o'bike!

As you have no rear brake, have you thought about replacing the left (rear) brake lever with a wee finger brake?

Ths finish of the bike would look far more classic. What do you think?

Hi Guys,

This is my Boby J. I got this just over a year ago.

Mister G

Evening chaps,

Can I join the ride?

A close friend of mine works for Macmillan; she maybe able to throw us some stuff - sponsorship, logo endorsed clothing etc

Any thoughts?

Mister G

Evening all,

Where have you guys been getting your Bob Jackson's from? I had mine built at Putney Cycles.

I think if you had created a blockage you'd know about it almost immediately. You'd probably find that your whole gear changing would be affected.

If you live anywhere near Putney got to Putney Cycles - they're great!

Have you got Campag quick release leavers on the Mercian? Nice!

With reference to the frame have you got far with your £175 price tag?

gbestley

echoing the 'tilt the handle bar comment' also tilt forward the saddle a touch.

If your bars and saddle are on the same horizontal plane you should get an even nicer ride.

Going back to the tasty Bob Jackson; where did/are you getting it from?

Evening Dammit,

I think I have had a similar problem on a classic Raleigh racer that I had:

**1. Your rear down shifter is not for an eight speed. Does the leaver push further one stop when you are in you lowest/highest gear?

1. your gear cables need a look at. Re-tensioned or probably easier to get new gear cables.
   
   

OR

1. Potentially mis-alignment with the rear derailier.**
   
   
   

If when you put your foot down you suddenly change gear with a massive clunk then I reckon one of the above three points (or a mixture of above) is where to start.

Good luck...

Gilles.

PS - do you know if you can change your title once registered?

I have to agree with 'dander'. Colnago every time!
