We were going to through a surprise party for a friend who lives in Munich. We all live scattered around Europe, so it took a lot of planning to get everyone sorted, and we don't really meet that often

Only one of us made it there last night in the end. And he doesn't know if he will be able to leave on Sunday. What a bloody mess.

During the assault on Baghdad the US military murdered a Spanish journalist who was filming from a hotel where the press gathered for 'their own safety':

And the worst part is that none of these murderers will ever face and international court for their war crimes.

For me, part of the beauty of these bikes is the paint job. If you take that away, you also take part of its character.

But that is a very personal opinion.

Very sorry to hear that highlandpro mugged you off. He does it to everyone he deals with.

There should be a sellers black list or something in the classifieds section.

Guess that edit wasn't quick enough. I didn't want to get into slagging someone off on this thread. Especially as I toyed with the idea of airing my grievances previously and decided to keep quiet. But now I've gone and mentioned him by name....

You're not the only one who wouldn't do business with him again...

nice build mate, looks like fun. I'm not a fan of those bars, but if you like them, that's all it matters.

I would take a link or two off that chain though

what a fugly creation

really nice

hey i was there too!

me three! It was great, loads of nice bikes too.

beautiful frame, pity it's so pricey.

I ride in the Bus lanes too, but technically you're not supposed to, and as you mention, the plastic shark fin sort of bollards they installed can be a real pain.

Next time I'm in Madrid I will definitely visit your workshop. Looks really neat!

Because they're BUS lanes, not BUS/CYCLE lanes.

There's no specific signage, but local regulations specify that you can't. I took the bother to check. Last time I was in Madrid I noticed mopeds are now allowed into bus lanes, but bicycles are still excluded.

If you think Madrid has nothing going on, you guys should hit Lisbon, it's hotter (than Madrid) this time of the year, and there's nothing but MTBs at sundays. NO ONE cycles! Fact! : (

Actually, there is a guy here in Amsterdam who builds and repairs fixed gear bikes (and any sort of bike for that matter, but he is into the fixed side of the force) and he is originally from Lisbon. He told me he and a friend are opening the first Fixed specific shop in Lisbon sometime soon. His name is Vitor, he's a really nice guy. You could send him an email if you want some info about riding in Lisbon http://www.recycledbicycles.org/

I know I'm a year late for this thread, but it might be useful for someone in the future:

there is people riding fixed in Madrid, just not many. Best way to meet other riders is to ride the local critical mass ('Bici Crítica', last Thursday of the month, departs at 8ish from Cibeles).

And Madrid is awesome to ride in. I am originally from nearby and I've ridden quite a bit around. Only real trouble is that you are not allowed into bus lanes, and sometimes you find yourself trapped between an angry driver and the plastic barrier that marks it, but that's pretty much it. Not worse than other big cities without proper cycling infrastructure.

and only at 21 are you 'free to all'.

If you're old enough to drink, drive and vote at 18, I'm pretty sure you must be eligible to shag whomever you please...

just got a box today mate and il parcel up tommorow and il try and send off to u by end of the week, il send u tracking number soon

OK, cheers.

PM'd

I used lobsters previously but these allow me to ride road bike shifters/brake levers more easily.

Yeah, and if you only have to operate a brake lever, or none at all, mitts are actually OK

I find that when it gets really cold, mitts are the only thing that keep my fingers warm, but there are obvious finger movement limitations. Maybe a lobster design would be a good compromise for cyclists between a winter glove and a proper mitt.

i have some going spare, used for a week....

size? might be interested...

Any luck selling the bars? I've PMd you.

I found a Bianchi Roger as new for $600 in Tucson, and a friend willing to pick it up for me and bring it over in Xmas... but I was second to reply :(

yeah, I do quite a long commute with paths and all, and I'm tired of getting to work covered in mud (and late when there is really wet or icy), So I'm thinking of a fat wheeled winter fixed gear bike, mudguards and all, you know?

Hi, are you still trying to sell this frame, I know the post is months old, but who knows...
