anyone got a good route from Sheffield to Manchester? Am going on my CX so off road better than having to share with those stupid four-wheelers...

Think I am between sizes so got a size too small but only could really tell after a short run. So they've only been used once.

They're totally amazing and I'm gutted I can't fit them.

Here's all the technical stuff:

http://www.vivobarefoot.com/uk/ladies/off-road/neo-trail-ladies-2019.html

Officially they are a size 3 but (european 36) but you're supposed to take a size smaller so should fit you perfectly if you're a 4 (I'm a 4.5 and they are just a tiny bit too small...).

Brand new, just a spec of mud on the soles.

£29

If you're not sure they'll fit I don't mind to meet and you can try them and see.

@rhamsi done. Will PM you.

ONO on all...

What do you do if you've locked your bike in Camden and lost your key?

(for a friend)

Oops, missed a skid on the corner of Defoe Rd & Church St. this morning. Haven't been DASed in like a year, forgot how it all works... It was early. Bleurgh.

hmmm...thought I'd give it a little bump as I'm still/again on the search...

I'm looking to move asap, anywhere between Stoke Newington to the river.
Ideally I'd like a room that's big enough to have (as well as a bed and a wardrobe) a desk which I can comfortably work from and a few bikes. And maybe a few more in some other part of the house/flat.
If anyone knows of anything please PM me. Ideally I'd like to move before the end of the month but if the right place comes up then I'll work it out...
Oh, max budget is £700 all in.

saw a sweet fixie skidder girl in the complete fakenger uniform going quite fast on kingsland road around 8:30 this morning. Must have been a bit nervous because she kept looking over her shoulder every time she made the slightest diversion. Performed the wobbliest track stand possible without falling over at the lights wich I found terribly amusing. Probably on here and I would have das'ed you should I have thought it safe but I opted not to. A welcome change in the dalston to farringdon peloton who usually consists of gentlemen on hybrid's in full highviz regalia.

I bet you many many £ this is nelaii-
sweet, tick
complete fakenger uniform, tick
going quite fast, tick
looking over her shoulder isn't nervousness, it's good sense (she's got a cycle trainer boyf), tick
wobbly trackstandm the exception which proves the rule?

Can't have been me. If I'm not at London Bridge by 8.30 then I'm in a lot of trouble... And I don't wobble. Also, I have no idea what fakenger uniform is...
But K-C is right about the looking over the shoulder. Good call for anyone to do that. Peds and drivers included.

Morning Brave! Apologies for my complete lack of skiddage. I was deep so deep in thought it all caught me by surprise. Nice to see you!

oh yeah, i had a look at those, I couldn't really decide what I though cos I hadn't heard of them and they seemed cheaper than a lot of brands I was worried about quality.
Would you say it's a hard or soft saddle?
Nice idea with the AssSaver! It never occured to me that cutouts would be unfriendly in the rain.... Another point to consider in the pursuit of happy bums!

Hi

@jess - yes you can have the Riva, it's on my track bike at the moment, and I'm away the next two weekends so it will be a while before I can get a hold of it, if you're happy to wait a few weeks then consider it yours.

@oliver - I hear what you're saying about pads, but I have to disagree I'm afraid. I have tried riding with padded shorts and it made everything a million times worse. I'm trying to de-faff my life and I don't believe that putting things around me to protect me will make me stronger. In the same way that I don't want my mits or gloves to have any padding. I believe that the right saddle is out there. I haven't really found chaffing to be much of a problem (and when in the saddle for more than an hour I do wear lycra or something more appropriate), my problem is my weirdly pointy sit-bones...

As for Brooks, I've tried one which I didn't like, I also don't want a saddle which requires more maintenance than my own daily routine...

But thank you all for your comments. It's good to hear what other people are experiencing and to come across saddles that I might not otherwise think of.

hmmmm.... I think Selle Italia's just aren't right for me, thank for offering though!

Yes, I was just thinking about Bon Velo's purple fiziks for loaning, I tried one some time ago which was not my friend. I don't get on with Fiziks. But I was just wondering if there were any other places that loan out saddles, specifically women's?

@poots - thanks, i tried the Ladle some time ago and it was too hard for my pointy bones :( thanks tho!

@cafewanda - oh I had actually looked at the SMP TRK, good to know it's padded, I was just a bit confused but the downwards pointing nose. I might give that a go, looks like something I might be able to work with, thanks for suggesting!

I ride without padded shorts - I need to find a saddle which won't require me to wear paddeds, far too much of a faff imo. Only at the velodrome.

right... I am having severe saddle problems. I know it sounds silly but it's affecting me so much! I do an hours riding to get to work, so two hours of pain during what should be the best part of the day has now become the worst and I need some help and advice!!

I think that I have abnormally sharp sit bones. I'm not kidding. So what ever I need, needs to be pretty soft.

I used to ride on a Charge Stool(http://www.wiggle.co.uk/charge-stool-saddle/), but then I borrowed Katie-Coo's Breeze saddle(http://www.evanscycles.com/products/madison/womens-breeze-mtb-saddle-ec027279?utm_source=froogle&utm_medium=froogle&utm_campaign=froogle) and realised the difference it makes using a women's saddle which allows the sit bones to be properly supported.
But that was too hard on my precious parts, although it gave me amazing posture. So then I tried the Specialized Women's Riva Saddle (http://ftp.evanscycles.com/products/specialized/womens-riva-saddle-ec033709) and the cutout was amazing! But the part where the sit bones go was so hard that I actually got bruises. But the shape of it was amazing, albeit it's a little long.
I then panicked and bought a sofa: http://www.cyclesurgery.com/pws/UniqueProductKey.ice?ProductID=CVAV0001KP
It's ok, and it can get me to work and back without crying, but it's too wide where my inner thighs are and the stitching is badly positioned so after about an hour I can start feeling it. But the shape of it(on the sit bones and the precious bits)and the padding is good. No bruising. But it makes my bike look like a Boris bike... and really in the long run it's not right, I doubt touring on it would be any good...
So because of previously having read the entirety of this thread I then finally caved and bought the Selle Italia Lady Gel Flow (http://www.selleitalia.com/se_it3/prodotti/offroad/pagina_lady-man/). WORST MISTAKE EVER! Although the padding where the sit bones are is just about ok, it hurts in every other way possible. Weirdly although there's a cutout it feels more like the opposite, so my delicates are in agony which makes me tilt and hunch my back, so now my back aches. And I'm very very sad.
So I've spent about £90 and have had nothing but pain.
I've had my eye on the Specialized Ariel(http://www.evanscycles.com/products/specialized/womens-bg-ariel-comp-saddle-ec034173)because it's the same shape as the Riva, but I'm hoping that cos it's for MTB it might be softer. Anyone know?

OR does anyone have any spare saddles that I could test for a while?

Incidentally I will also be selling the above (will get around to posting properly - but in the mean time if anyone's interested):

Riva - £20
Selle Italia - £50
Charge Stool: £10 (I have about three to sell)
and at some point the sofa...£8

No handed yep.. I'll DAS her next time
oh no... suicide skids...?! ;)

I keep seeing a girl on black fixed.Risers. Blondish, curly hair. Usually dressed in black with Mission back pack. Rides down Lambeth Road toward War museum. Executes the most sublime track stands at the lights. Nice acceleration as well....

Anyone?

Ask her if she's got black sheets.

tihi, Katie coo told me I was spotted. Doesnt' happen much since both office and house move, tis a lonely route now...
And yes I have black sheets(??).

does anyone know a good pub where the track will be shown this evening close to Chelsea/Battersea?
