Hey Alex_88,

Is the Charge still FS? I've PM'd you.

Thanks,
Lee

Hello there,

Looking for a serviceable steed for a colleague to do a London commute on. He's ridden my old Steamroller and enjoyed the experience.

Whose got a serviceable, better than beater quality bike they want to sell for up to the £200 mark. Open to most things and I'm happy to do some work/give it a service to make it right for him.

Thanks,
Lee

Oooh sorry all - just realised this should be in the wanted section. Doh.

Re-Posting in wanted now.

-- Don't lean.

Been thinking a lot about this and it kept popping into my head as I was riding - what exactly do you mean?

Do you mean the motion of leaning forwards and backwards whilst climbing in the saddle?

I've registered again... will ride fixed again too. The wind was far worse than any of the hills last year.

Snoopy Kissed Marcy also giving me Kudos on my boring commute. What's that all about then?

Wow...

Sorry - just seen this posted earlier - my bad!

Hey there - I have these bars on my car:

Will the Carrier fit on these?

Thanks,

Cummon then... how about a Strava challenge. Somebody else has to have a go at this.

I kind of want to do it again but need a reason to.

Did you get my message about a refund? I've not had anything pop back into my paypal account...

Will be riding a stealthy steamroller fixed probably on my own unless I can make some fixed friends... Would hope to be averaging around the 16.5-17mph mark.

Hello chaps - I'm the girl who said hello in Motala.

Bloody gorgeous ride! Horrible goddamn headwind.

I did it in 15 something hours. Strava says 16mph average. You beasts!

Well done for doing it fixed.

Well done to you and your crew! Thanks for coming over to say hi... Will you be riding fixed next year then?

Hi funkt, great times, we managed 12hr/3hr. I was on the 14R. Agree fantastic organisation, like arriving at a village carnival at each stop. Our B+B host father was the original organiser of the event, a surgeon wanting to promote health etc. House full of memorabilia of the Vattern. Next year is 50th, big deal so will do again. Just great atmosphere. Stay in touch see if we can get a Peleton together.

Hey DK! Well done on pushing that ratio in that wind! Rollo and I are thinking hard about next year and it would be great to have a group that doesn't suck our back wheels up the hills then whip past on the downs without so much as a thanks...

Safe journey home & you can catch me on the forum if you want to plan for next year.

Now that was a long old ride... Managed 14hrs with 4hrs of stops which makes an average speed of 18mph over the 186 miles (10hrs moving time). Pretty chuffed considering 100 miles of it was into an unrelenting 20mph head wind :-/

Beautiful scenery and an incredibly well organised event made the experience a joy... Only saw 2 other chaps riding fixed. Unsurprisingly both Londoners too.

Highly recommend it, especially fixed.

Cheers for the advice all, see you in Sweden next year!

Just been checking in with the folk over at www.fixedgear.se and somebody has said that we need to have a back brake... Anyone know otherwise?

We might get away with it as we've had to replace our bulls with drops and have elected to install brakes with hoods - so from the front it looks like we are running 2 brakes... hmm soooo pointless :-(

Less than a week to go... and feeling ready for 300k fixed overnight? Maybe.

Any last minute calming words of advice?

Black pair posted please! PMing now. Thanks!

Here's my readins... 16mph av fixed! Woop! Did have some long old stops though :-)

Ha... managed about an inch ;-) Did you have a good day of it?

Thanks for the suggestion chaps!

Hello all!

I've been prepping my steed for the Vatternrundan (a 300k sportive in Sweden), been training hard and did The Great Escape Audax this weekend on what feels like my perfect set-up.

Riding with the Cinelli Mash bulls - they are super comfy, loads of positions and rode 145 miles yesterday with no wrist or hand issues what-so-ever.

I have since been told that those bars will not be permitted on the ride in Sweden... :-/

So here is the question - I'm gonna have to fit some drops and would like to replicate the shape and size and positions available on the Cinelli's. Any suggestions on what might work for me? Don't really like the idea of hoods as don't like a flappy redundant rear lever but if that's the only way... I suppose I'll have to lump it.

For reference, this is how she is looking at the mo:

Thanks in advance.

ollyputt = rollo btw

Might work - just checking with my buddy Rollo, who the fork is for...

Hey Detoxman, Would love to see a pic of the Orbeas! How long is the steerer?

Thanks
Lee
