Just got a quote for £50 on shiply - that's a goer then if Tom agrees?

I've send dicki a PM and I'm getting quote from Shiply too...

I've been given the go ahead by 'er indoors, but logistics are a bit of a problem at the mo.

Anyone doing Harrogate to London in the near future?

There's travel/beer money in it for anyone who's interested?

Received - thank you!

Thanks for meeting up earlier - wheel looks and works great - thanks again!

Dibs white velocity front wheel - sent PM

Looks like Joby has done it again - that'll teach me for not looking at someone's profile first!

He said the wheel was mine and I could pick it up yesterday, in the meantime he sells it to someone else and doesn't tell me. He didn't return any texts or PMs and when I called him last night, pretended to be going underground and didn't have any reception - what a dick!

At least the wheel did exist this time and it did get sold, so no real harm done, I'll just have to be a little more careful next time.

Sent you a PM

Was cool to be THAT close to the peloton - some lovely bikes being pushed around too..

The Pub Crawler may make us look like twats, but the stag is going to be dressed as Wonder Woman, we'll be drinking beer and hopefully seeing how fast it'll go!

Thanks again for the suggestion Skully.

The Pub Crawler is an excellent idea! You get served beer while you go round and get to listen to your own tunes! It fits up to ten people - so its perfect!

The waxing would certainly separate the men from the boys, but I suspect most if not all of them wouldnt really in for it. Just had a quick search and it looks like there's organised rides in Epping Forest which could be cool - just need to find enough mtb's...

I'm arranging a stag do and had booked (2 months ago!) a beginners session at Herne Hill for 9 of us. They've just told me I'm double-booked with the London Track Championships! So I'm now trying to find something (cycling based if possible) else we can all do together?

I wondered about Rollapaluza, but we cant afford them outright, but they might be setting up in a pub - and we could 'try it out' I 'spose!?

There's also Redbridge Cycling Centre, but cycling round a road circuit doesn't sound that exciting!

Could go for lunch at the Rapha Cycle Club - but I suspect the lads may wonder what the hell they're doing there!?

I could probably get them to bring their bikes (they live out in the sticks), so could do a tour, but that sounds a bit jessie for a stag do!?

The rest of the day is booked (at places in town) and paid for, so I've got to think of something we can do between 12 and 5. Any ideas would be gratefully received. Doesn't have to be cycling based but preferably something 'interesting'.

Cheers,

Simon

Just joined and added my miles for the month. London-Brighton-Eastbourne on Sunday, so that should help too.

And we're also ahead of London Cyclists again!

Both tunnels are open this week, the work starts next week for one week (Woolwich tunnel shut during the day, Greenwich tunnel shut in the evening), but the work will be on and off, all year long.

Just a reminder: Flying Scotsman on tonight BBC1 23.25pm

lighter fluid or white spirit should do the trick . . .

Only managed to visit Chari & Co. but it was well worth searching them out . . .

we even turned up on their blog, my girlfriend patiently waiting while I asked lots of stoopid questions!

They were very patient with me and I learnt a lot, but not how to keep my money in my pocket! I bought a blue lug saddle and Nitto bars . . .

Thanks again, I'll be back to ask lots more daft questions when I gather the rest of the parts I need!

Cheers,

Simon

Cool, thanks guys I'll check them out

It's at 64p now, so not too bad. I'm guessing shops like King Cog and Trackstar are worth a visit, although I'll probably be laughed out of them - not having a clue!

I hope I can get away with hijacking this thread (as an impatient newbie) . . .

I've just got my first frame and it needs building from scratch. I'm off to New York soon and thought I could take advantage of the exchange rate and add some parts to my hand luggage. If you were going, what would you get for your bike?
