@GA2G - I think he has already sold it I believe. It spent more time with a mechanic, than actually with Jezza.

ESPN980 has just made the interview recording available.

I got my frame back from Armourtex yesterday, and it looks fabulous. Will snap some pictures tonight, still waiting for the crank set to turn up. flowmont's previous post prompted me to post, that skyblue is exactly what I went for too.

I have been eyeing a G10 myself. Funnily enough Canon have their own outlet/refurb store on ebay.

I might go for one of Argos clearance one instead, the auctioned items tend to end up around £300.

Is there a seatpost list somewhere?

I'm trying to find a decent black 25.4 post, any recommendations?

@joelovesfixed(2) - Thanks that is good to know. Will drop them a line and see what they are saying, might go for some cheap plastic clips whilst I wait for a pair of JOLs.

Note to oneself, don't post whilst listening to Bob Marley!

Me want! - reluctant to add me self to such a long list man!
Aye is gonna go down 14bike at the weekend, and try me luck

@Manc Ronnie - Pick someone up from the airport, drive out of London to visit friends, things like that. I know you could get a cab in the case of the airport, or take the train if going out of London. But with a fair bit of luggage this gets uncomfortable fast.

Coming back to the point about if transport is changing in London. I do think things are changing it is just going to take a while. I live in Fulham and have never been able to justify buying a car. However there are times when you must have a car to do something.

Borrowing a car for a day has got even easier thanks to zipcar and streetcar. If you haven't already take a look either of these services.

I love SF, used to go every year thanks to work, but not been there for many years :-(

Hanging around Chinatown is a must also, so many damn nice places to eat. Also just around Union Square and Downtown area is an excellent place to just hang out.

Definitely worth venturing out to Muir Woods, the are load of bike trails. Bike Routes Map. If your not taking your bike with you there are plenty of places to hire from too. It is also worth venturing across the Bay to Berkeley. There is also a national park fairly close by, Mt Diablo NP (about a 3 hour drive if I remember correctly!) which also has some trails. I agree about some of the other posters sentiments about Pier 39/Fisherman's Wharf - but you can't go to SF and not visit them!

From Fisherman's Wharf either take the Bay Tour or the Ferry across to Sausalito, give you a chance to see SF from the water, plus excellent views of the GG and Bay Bridge.

On the shopping front, SF has everything you could need on Main St or nearby. Timbuk2 used to have a factory outlet in the SoMA which was great for picking up their wonderful messenger bags cheaply. I remember I once bought 10 back for friends and family, got a damn good deal. They now have a proper store so not sure if it still cheaper than ordering online or from other retailers.

I went for the SRAM PC1, seems good to me and under £10, not used it in anger yet, still in the middle of building. Put it on to check the chainline, and rode around the block a couple of times.

You have to have this track on this thread!

For me this week, the Broken Bells album has been played a lot. Especially High Road.

I want to vote Lib Dem, but my fear is that it will just reduce Labour's majority and put the Conservatives in. Which is what happened in Hammersmith & Fulham in 2005. Now that Hammersmith and Fulham has been split in to two for the upcoming general election, so its hard to gauge how things will go right now.

Fish Crumble - had some for lunch in our canteen today. Salmon and Cod (or some other white fish) - it was pretty good!

@slowstephen - thanks for the tip. Since I'm a big bloke, the frame had me a little worried from the start. Since this is very much my first SS experiment, I'm not that tied to the frame. If in a few months I have to shell out for a new frame that is fine.

Long time reader, first time post. Started my first SS project, a Raleigh Equipe I picked up via Gumtree.

Waiting on a few components to arrive, but so far so good. The plan is to get this down to Amourtex in the next couple of weeks. Will post again once it is complete. This site has been invaluable in working out how to do things. Looking forward to making it to the West London meetups soon!
