better be an expensive pack of biscuits then...

tempted mind, but it would be a bit of a bargain to get either the forks or cranks alone for 45

50 and a pack of biscuits and I'll do most of the travelling (if you are in london)

would be lovelly to get rid of this tonite

isn't it just

buy this one and I'll give you a fiver off*

*i will not give you a fiver off

Best save them for traffic lights as a gentile icebreaker or blame it on whichever tube line you are nearest.

oh, can meet in london most places for this or i'm in mile end/ bow

Seriously not much dude. 50/60 sheets?

I built this up ages ago out of all the spare bits I had in a cupboard and got a few more to make it into a bike.

Some of the parts on it like the forks, bars and cranks are still awesome by today's standards but it's pretty outdated.

Really not expecting too much for it cashwise or I'd consider swapping for something sweet.

If the money is half decent i could upgrade the stem to an atomlab one, some odyssey pedals and possibly some snafu pegs.

Should manage whatever you can chuck at it and it works alright except it ghost pedals when you're walking it but that's it. Probably need to dial in the brake.

Can't really argue with that.

Should really bob down to one of these shindigs soon.

What's the hazing process like?

This pisses me off no end when I hear about this route being full of chavvy dick turpins as I ride it loads to see a mate in east ham and am often pissed on the way home. In fact if you hear a whooping sound late at night after a spurs win, it'll probably be me on my way down the overpass barking at the moon.

I'd like to petition the east drinks to set up some elaborate sting operation to coincide with their drinks session.

Do the 5th floor do call outs?

Oh so they're out commerically now are they? Sigh.

I had one of the prototypes and it turned out to be a croc of shit.

It kept snapping when you went to use it.

Just whap a disclaimer on it in fine print:

Intorducing the Hiplock belt, the lock you can wear as a belt!*

*Not to be worn as a belt.

PM'd

Pedal straps, fitted but used about once before I went back to cleats.

Have been bent a tad to fit wider skate type shoes but can be bent back.

All the bits are there as you can see.

If you want closer pics I can do tonight.

(actually you can see them pretty fine from that massive pic, pm if interested)

dang

I find mini-d too small sometimes. You have to have the right stand and the right distance from it to get frame and wheel through.

you don't need to put it through the frame, you can just put it through the wheel as long as it's through the rear triangle

Hilarious, I'm writing that down.

would you swap it for anything?

I used to ride from Bethnal to Notting Hill for work and I think my best time was 25 minutes averaging about half an hour, but that was when I'd just come off couriering.

It's about two years later now and I go from Bow to Bethnal on my promute and I take 20 minutes with a cigarrette throwing gang signs all the way.

What? Reading more stuff on the internet?

oof, just saw that, but no and if i felt the need to explain myself on the interwebz I'd be inadvertantly accepting defeat

Like fixed gear cycling is something hard core and underground.

fixed gear is like the new roller blades

however i shall stay fixed and i shall still be crap at bmxing but at least i know which bike to bring out for which occaision

it's still bi(ke) winning

fuck i spend too much time on the internet, back to what i was doing

it would be the weakest link

badum tish

the only way to dig is down...

yep, gonna put a brew on now, just got to find my chocolate teapot...

I reckon I can lay this one to rest:

Fixie nibble: makes cover.

BMX madness: doesn't make cover.
