Not willing to arrange postage I'm afraid :-(

Purchased June 2012 - ridden to and from work on commute that's all, so about 100 miles in total.

NOW SOLD

For sale my new Dolan Pre Cursa, 56cm.

Collection from SE1 (London Bridge) Mon - Thurs as it's being stored at work. Live SE6 so possible I could meet up Catford/Lewisham/Forest Hill.

Bad driving, careless driving, 'honest mistakes' all can and far too often result in injury to cyclist pedestrians other drivers and damage to their property so more effort should be made to show up these drivers. Unfortunately one guy confronting drivers doing wrong wont make any difference. He probably just ends up pissing off the individuals he contronts and nothing else.

Guy in red baseball had on a Stickered Black single speed from Woolwich Manor Way to start or Commercial Road from about 8:30 this morning. It was nice following someone for a change even though at times it seemed you didnt want me tailing you.

Also Courier type with Mohican and red and black roll top bag and smoking yesterday at London Bridge yesterday at about 6PM. Apologies if you are on here for cutting you up when I shakely too off at the lights, I was in a rush to get somewhere.

There is a logic to helmet no brakes. It goes if crash because I can't stop quick enough my head might be protected.

Spotted this morning west ham. Bianchi pista rider no brakes with freewheel. If you are on here i sigh at/applaud your courage. (no helmet by the way so the above logic was not being applied)

See him quite often and did again This morning on when he pulled up next to me at lights.

Also spotted yesterday at around 6:30pm a guy on a dark blue charge wearing a purple shirt trying to run me down when I was fixing the second of my rear wheel punctures on the a13 cycle path heading towards canning town station. If you are on here you are a prick as I was well off the path and you could have waited before overtaking those women.

Someone on a white Genesis Flyer in Catford around 7:15PM trackstanding while waiting for a break in the traffic to pull off into a side road.

Someone on a light coloured bike with green wheels (possibly) on stoke newington high street heading towards church street. Think you gave me some secret wave or something (or was playing with an imaginary batton). I was on a black bike wearing stripy blue t-shirt.

Sorry didnt mean to ignore you, was budgeting and in my own world.

I cant see a bag which may contain any foot retention so he probably will be riding it as it is (shop owner probably though over paid twat I'll show you).

2 Kids bikes + 1 Adult bike. $10,000 (chi ching).
Pedal strike to the Achilles. Priceless. No wait $20M

But being serious a good D lock for the front wheel and a Good D lock for the back wheel and frame. The weight you have to carry around will beaf you up for giving a bike thief a beating.

Little note to add. A few friends of mine live in the Shore(ditch) and Bethnal Green areas (I would rather slash my wrist than do that) and their flats are tiny and the rent is sky high. Find a cheaper larger bike-safe area.

Buy the best bike you can, buy the best locks you can and hire a burly man who cant touch his back to watch you steed.

On returning to where parked you will find said man beaten and your bike whisked off to gumtree land.

Never been a fan of boxers bad mouthing each other it seems unnecessary and for some reason Haye seems to think he needs to do it to the extreme every fight. He's not a Mayweather with a decade of brilliant fights (yes some shit ones) and consistent wins behind him so he should tone it down. In the unlikely event that Harrison beats him he will have to find a rock to hide under.

Went to buy some grips and a spacer a little while back and have to agree with the 2 posters before me, that the clothes shop guy was pretty friendly and nice (maybe thats why he is the first person you see). The rest of the guys were a bit casual with the service but helpful never the less.

The 4th was due to me not replacing my worn cleats and having a foot fly out of the SPD at the A10/A406 roundabout (much fun - I can't recommend it enough).

If you've crashed A10/A406 then I'm assuming you live in or frequent the Enfield/Edmonton area, which is where I've had all my accidents. maybe the area is a cursed.

Fair enough, you did say it was good enough for you, not for everyone. But I still think what pros do, with regard to helmets or most everything, is rarely relevant to the rest of us.

what about padded shorts for long rides. Or riding off and pretending your didn't notice that your opponent has dropped a chain. Pros do that. with regards to the latter i though it best to push the person you were racing into the hedge, it guaranteed me wins throughout my childhood.

Discipline and Punish: The Birth of the Prison
Good book, only read from page 170 onwards and need to read the beginning and end but champion.

You started it; citing professionals' wearing of helmets as a reason we should too. Before it was compulsory most pros did not wear them; that is a fact. Everything else is speculation and neither here nor there.

Didn't say we should all wear it, i said if its good enough for them etc etc. my first post said people should do what they want. I have many friends who don't wear them and unfortunately its not because they dont believe it helps just because they look silly. But I leave them to themselves.

I not going to pretend I'm an expert in cycle safety or what ever but from my personal experience and from crashes I've seen, you rarely whack your head, but when people or myself have that extra bit of protection seems to always help. If anyone who has banged their head hard on the ground [or even softly] wouldn't have preferred something softening the blow then they must have a lot of head meat.

Its a shame that only people who try to sell helmets have done any research on the matter, some rigorous testing would help clear the matter up a bit. Anyway as i said in my first post let people wear/not wear at their discretion, but bad drivers have thought me it helps.

Pros do not, by and large, choose to wear helmets; they are obliged to by the UCI.

Just because the they are required to doesn't mean they would not wear one if they weren't required to.

Well, the whole of this rhetorical helmet issue comes back to the fact you cannot say the helmet wouldve helped agar in the slightest. You just dont know.

From experience it helps deaden the blow [a lot] and saved me some blood. Also if pros trust it, its good enough for me. Plus motor cyclist friends of mine certainly have benefited from helmets so although not the same type of helmets Skin and hair certainly offer less protection that high density foam.

But no helmet protects your head from being under the wheel of a truck or snapping your spine etc etc, so careful driving and riding is the best protection.

I've had the solo for almost 2 years cant faulty it much lighter than paddy wagon when tested but most importantly full guards keep ass and crotch dry (changed guards for black ones though didn't like the silver). Also to Anil go back to shop where you bought the solo & ask for an extra set of the quick release clips for the guards and fit to the back. Saves cold fingers when changing rear punctures in winter.

Love these helmet/no helmet brake/no brake debates on cycling website it always seems people feel they need to justify their actions. Do what you want I say & leave others to do their thing because they rarely listen.

Ooh ooh i have a little story.

Once upon a time a little boy, lets call him 'Raga' was riding, a jag pulled out, little agar went flying over bonnet of said jag landing on shoulder and head just missing the kerb. Driver said something like 'you dented my fucking car you little shit' before driving off. Bleeding little Raga hobbled home vowing to buy a new front wheel, fork and a helmet. 15 years later he rides wearing a helmet (on his head) looking a bit of tit due to peanut shaped head.

Don't know how I got to this thread but looking at the picks at the beginning made me want my wild cat again (no sound effects on adult bikes).

Anyway quite a few manufacturers make smaller frames, the surly steamroller, Bianchi pista, fuji track, Specialized langster, Kona paddy wagon and quite a few more all come in 49cm.
