Got my plug freestyler tonight. OK, it's very OTP, but I love it already! Already ditched the cheap plastic platforms for some old mongoose metal platforms. Think I'll invest in some others soon though.

I'm a bit concerned the bike shop has rigged the chain too tight. It feels a little rough when pedaling, but only at certain points (I'm guessing the tight spots).

Anyway, I can come along on December 6th and not feel like the odd one out :)

I'm looking at getting a workstand and having read through this thread and others, and I'm trying to decide between these two:

http://www.ribblecycles.co.uk/productdetail.asp?productcatalogue=BOSSWORK200000000000

I have to consider my mtb with slightly oversized tubing but both of these look like they'll do the job. Does anyone know if the Boss stand folds up? Doesn't look like it does, which would mean the other stand would be more suitable...

Could steal the old Coventry eagle head badge and re-work it maybe?

How about something like "est. 1870" ?

No idea to be honest. Open to suggestions. I was thinking of a small square sticker with the shape of a fixed cog, with some text inside it. Maybe something simple like "Sent to Coventry"?

Wish I could afford the Moser, it looks nice :)

Might make a cheap project:

Peoples Question time in Brixton, not BBC QT.

Ah right :)

Is this on this week or was it last weeks show?

Not sure if this is of interest to anyone:

1960's Raleigh (no wheels). Might be a bit far gone perhaps?

I'm talking to a mate about stickers at the moment. I could try and knock up something maybe? Anyone have any designs in mind?

Should of my bike by then :D

Its brightened up a bit now thankfully. Hope the rain stays away...

Weather permitting, I should be there :)

My mate has just got a volunteer post at Action 21 doing some bike maintenance :) Will be checking them out for some parts/beater bike soon...

Never heard of Youpunkeroo, any website etc?

Shame about the apostrophe.

Fixed:

I might be tempted, if you can stomach an non SS mtb ;) Will see if I'm about!

I'm in that position right now. Want rid of my 300D and want something nicer. Cash is the issue :|

River at Yosemite national park:

iPhone 3G.

I have to say, when I'm commuting - and it's only a short commute of 15 mins - I literally think about nothing. Just me and the bike getting to where I've got to go. It's really quite liberating :)

I've spent the last week not trying to get to work as fast as possible, but spinning a little faster in an easier gear going a little slower. It feels more rewarding than pushing the big gears and arriving at work a sweaty mess.

Gah :|

Hopefully not re-posts...
