What did LJ57FDF do?

Ill let you know what happens - I won't be at the delivery address for a couple of weeks but look forward to solving this problem in the workshop there!

Ill take it if Dave doesnt... I have significant vices. Lemme know.

I got a reasonable answer back from Addison Lee re my complaint re the video on the previous page of this thread- "In line with our internal disciplinary procedure, the driver has subsequently been interviewed by our Driver Liaison team and the footage has been watched.......[FONT=Verdana]Details of this incident and the disciplinary have been added to the drivers file and he will closely monitored for several months. "[/FONT]

Certainly makes em realise they may have to answer for any dickheadedness and can't just whizz off anonymously to be dangerous somewhere else. I didnt get one for this reason, but it's certainly a major benefit. I think I ride better too as a result.

So should I take my vid down then and just send in a copy?

Aroogah, I'll get on the case...

Olaf, I'll make this complaint! Are you still at eland? I've moved jobs meself...

I think this is the one you mean - http://www.lfgss.com/thread46872.html
I don't know about the police, but I think Addison Lee need to know for starters.
Funny how it's the so called professional drivers who are so often the worst...

I got cut up by an Addison Lee cab on the way home tonight...

...am I being a wuss or is this worth complaining about? It was a bullshit move, but is it dramatic enough that anything will happen as a result? I don't know if folks have had much joy with Addison Lee drivers getting any kind of come back from their crappy driving.
The clip starts at the lights leading from Parliament Square toward Westminster Bridge. I'm in the middle lane as I am going to take the bridge rather than turn left onto Victoria Embankment, so correct road positioning imo, and I don't think I'm holding anyone up so much that this move is in any way justified. The Addison Lee Cab is either in the same lane as me or in the right hand lane. Either way, his journey has far more importance than my safety. Sure, he's indicating, but that's no good to me. And his driving made me say a bad word.
In other news, the camera I'm using is an Oregon Scientific ATC5K. I don't particularly recommend this as it's pretty unreliable - lots of file errors meaning that plenty of what gets filmed is lost. And the attachments are quite disappointing - the handlebar mount is ok (though lots of jolting obviously as you can see) but the helmet mounts are no use, at least not if you are using a BMX style helmet and a helmet mount is far better than a static handlebar positioning. Peh.

I believe he has been away this week, but I have had a delivery so he's still solid. Worry not.

Dibs CAMPAGNOLO NUOVO RECORD CHAINSET 52/42T pending discussion re lots of other bits...

If they're the Dish type or similar, then no, they're not as good as Velocitys but they're absolutely fine and may just need a tweak of a spoke every few months. I've got a Dish set on one of my bikes and I've got the spoke key out twice in a year.
As you were.

Lee, I think you are on the money with that Mercian suggestion. the lug work is just like the Audax Special! More sleuthing required, but I think this what we might be dealing with. Thanks mate.

Chap, I have this one

It's a right angle but depending on the head tube angle it is a bit riserish.
Can lend it to you when we meet up tomorrow if you want to try out.

Thanks very much - wasn't sure if he was making the frames or just badging them... Further digging to find who built it required..

Yep saw that, but little else.

Ziska raises a valid question. This house demands an answer.

I bought a Steve Thornhill frame from hilarystone on here a while back and was interested in finding out more about the man and his work. Anyone any ideas? Googling hasn't brought much up, nor classiclightweights etc... Midlands frame builder as far as I can see, but not much more detail.
The frame kinda needs a respray which I will do come winter rather than let crimes against steel occur, but that would mean curtains for the decals, which I doubt I can replace.

What's the brake drop?
Better photo of these - other parts need in focus snaps!

If I owned this, I would state in my will that I should be buried with it.

With Bagaboo you can get any design on it so you can get something unique to your tastes. Not sure if other manufacturers do something that bespoke.
I find the strap that goes over the right shoulder isn't terribly comfy as it is too close to the neck but I may be doing something wrong. Anyway, it isnt essential to use.

Dibs FRANK LIPSCOMBE ROAD FRAME c1968 - will. Do this instead of paragon. Pm to come.

Curse my slow mobile connection. Peh

Dibs nitto - can pick up tomorrow...
