I know I'm a pain in the arse but would it be cool for at least one of you to sign up on the glasgow fixed gear forum as a newcastle go between for this? I'll keep posting in here either way.

Don't know about edinburgh but I don't think any glasgow players are going to bristol. Need to keep our eyes on this stuff more, bike polo died off for ages in glasgow and has only really picked back up in the last 6 months. Next year we will be hitting up more tourneys.

Okay, not looking like we are getting enough teams for the league thing at the moment but if you are interested Glasgow's looking to host a tourney with Edinburgh and yourselves again. The S.H.I.T part two. Provisional date of October the 8th. In?

So you guys had any thoughts on teams for this league thing? If it's not a goer we'll try and get the S.H.I.T thing happening again in Glasgow by the end of the year anyway. Probably need to get something in stone by end of first week in September so we can work out travel.

Who's up for the northern league? The idea is 3 mini tourneys, one at the end of each month and each time in one of the 3 cities (Glasgow, Edinburgh and Newcastle) over September October and November. Further details to be confirmed but you will have to be able to commit to playing on the last weekend of each of these months, thought you will only have to travel on two of them.

islipaway, lovely bike.

Did you find those tyres a bitch to get on? Did you cheat and use levers despite the warning in the intructions? Must need hands of steel to get those things on without tools.

(edit: they are the 'open tubular' clinchers, aren't they?)

They are veloflex pave, didn't read anything about not using levers, did I fuck up?

NOS from http://njs-keirin.blogspot.com, none left but some with very light use.

Cheers guys, Nitto post from hubjub, in the region of £100? Brown brooks tape but not the new perforated stuff, the older stuff that I had to get from bens cycles and it's only on thier site if you use the search function for some reason, much cheaper than the new stuff though if you buy it without bar ends (mine came with anyway, bonus!). The tape isn't very uniform in colour and doesn't match the saddle very well but it's the only non perforated stuff I could find. Cranks and ring are suntour superbe Pro.

Wish I could help there, I can't find it for less than £110 but I'm shite at finding cheap fares.

Covered and lit but with pillars, format depends on how much interest there is really, There are other court options but it's the most reliable.

In a carpark near the city centre, Springfield Quay.

As part of the Glasgow Easter Weekender we are planning on having a small tourney on Saturday the 3rd April, there's going to be other shit going on on the Friday and Sunday also. Depending on interest it's either going to be a throw in tourney or max 10 'proper' teams. Prizes are a share of all the entry fees (£2 a person winning team takes all) and a trophy, maybe other stuff depending what I can get off the man with all the prizes.

Cheers!

There going to be a tourney in Glasgow on Saturday the 3rd of April, if anyone is interested!

No. Full custom from Bob Jackson features fluted seat tube and any sort of fork you like also paul dropouts and any paintjob you want at all for £100 more than a standard build. Only extras are fancier lugs and chrome. Mine was £ 468 delivered, took about 3 Months.

Aye the bars have come up a bit since the photo!

Finished this last week, need to get hold of a decent camera.

What are those bars? Gorgeous build!

No longer dibbed.

it is 1" and is shimmed for that stem.

Still got this, £375+postage or pickup from Glasgow.

Bob Jackson will do a full custom frame for £460~ which you'll have to wait up to 6 months for but it's an option.

It was on the trade site but il have to eat my words because mine came in today!
Was up at the shop sorting out wages n it got delivered, im away to build it the now.

Beast! Is it coming to Sunday Polo?

Why are you named after an acoustic tile?

Is he not named after seminal cyber-punk novel?

@islipaway:

what size tyres are those - they look sexy but super tight at the back...

Session 700 28s doubt I could get bigger cause of the brake bridge. Very tight on polo gear and less so riding gear... 18 vs 16, 16 is pretty far back 18 about the middle.
