I've had a stupid idea....

Yeah, stupid like a fox, as Homer might say. This is good idea. More details as they come, please.

If you build it....they WILL come

Who did the 39 then?

Excellent!
BTW, did anyone else keep a record of their times?
Not that I'm at all competitive or anything ;)

John - 42.7 glad not to have come last really

A few snaps from South Shields. One to be repeated.

Nice shots, Matt. They capture the day nicely. Got more? Unfortunately I didn't take any myself.
Agree we must do this again, a regular thing maybe?

DrAlfonzo,
You could always wear them under your regular clothes. That way you can get the (ahem!) benefits of lycra, without looking like ......

.....I think you can wear whatever turns you on fella

This does sound like license to wear comedy outfits.

Although you'd have to be pretty thick-skinned (no pun intended) to wear lycra in public during daylight. Or so fast that you don't hear the laughter as you speed past. ;)

2 o'clock sounds ok, weather permitting :)

Anyone fancy/intending to go to, the Cambridge tourney to spectate? I quite fancy it but can't justify it alone. Would like to take bike(s) for throw-ins and for transport while there (haz car bike rack if needed) and would obv share costs, etc. Any thoughts?

Did you not politely invite him to take the remainder of his journey in the aforementioned ambulance?

Know that feeling. My Viking looks so much sweeter sans front brake, but as you say.......

Agreed, two tidy bikes ready for Summer.
Black one, very classy looking conversion - simple and understated, I like it.
Ricky, the Ward looks bang-on, very compact and purposeful. I never get bored of looking at bikes like this. I'm guessing the front brake is just for emergency use only, cos you wouldn't wanna mark that rim?

bbq before polo tomoro?

What time did you have in mind?
Later better for me.

......make a QR stand to plonk the forks on.

Keep it simple ftw

think we should have a mass bikes-on-rollers-while-watching-tour de france sesh this year? Been watching the Giro today thinking of how to make a budget roller?

I've been given a bunch of aluminium rollers, 'cos I was thinking of building some rollers myself. They are about 2 foot in length and about 2 inches diameter, with bearings and spindles either end. Brand new. See picture attached. Prob enough to build four or five sets, depending upon design. Would be happy to share rollers/collaborate in roller building projects.

I can't promise I wont crash ;)

pete's a hero.

A Superhero?

Byker bird-man?

Yeah! Bring it on!

And how the bike should really look:

really?!?!

Almost!
I was replying to Ricky's post but you got in first.
Your logic may yet be right, tho.
Still trying to find the original linky, cos the other Moser pic also has a slack chain.

True - it's even mentioned in the caption for the pic on the blog

Check out this guy's blog, some smart old pics and quite funny too, for a colonial.

Sorry if you've seen it before.

Fuck, hadn't seen that one before.The hour record 51.151 bars and stem I'm about to shell out for would go perfectly with it

I'm guessing you're familiar with this one then:
