Fixedcheese, shop in borough, Neals yard by any chance?

Indeed.

A guy strolling by my shop in Borough sipping a coffee around 8:30am with an orange and white aluminium track bike, kinda like a Leader.

Has the Vai stem sold? 2nd dibs if not!

Last night, about 7 o'clock - 2 guys (both on langsters - one definitely had a brown/red one with tiny bars) flying around the inner ring of Regents Park...

..and also another rider passing me on the outer ring, travelling north - blue rapha jersey and tt style bars or long bullhorns. It looked like you had a rear 650c wheel?! Or maybe your frame was just huge

Hey Dan, Langster riders were me and a pal! We hit Regent's tonight too and three guys rode past and checked we were ok as I was tightening the cleats on my shoes.

Also tonight, some dude flying and skid-stopping his nuts off down City Road with black and white bar tape and a maroon jacket.

Yeah, no overlap now. I think it was just due to the chunkiness of the 661's as I had no problem when I used to ride with traps...

So, was using the 661's. They're great for riding, except that there is toe overlap even with the cleats set as far forward as possible and they look like shoes for 'special' people.

However, after a trip to the cool dudes at Continuum Cycles whilst in NYC I got a pair of these DZR's for £60...

Stiff soles, no toe overlap and look great.

How much for the hooded leather jacket?

Is the Concor black for £55 still up for grabs?

I'm interested in the seatpost, is it still available?

I'm after a short Vai stem, anyone got one they want to sell me?

I'll take it! Sending PM now...

Dibs frame if you still have it.

Here's my predicament, maybe those who've ridden an IRO frame can help me...

I'm not sure whether to go for IRO or Brother for my first build...

I really like the IRO's (Pro Mark V or Angus) but availability is scarce and I like the idea of supporting the British based Brother Cycles.

Has anyone ridden both or can anyone vouch for one or the other?

I was hoping Hippy would put those shots up. How much for a W.A.C finish on my frame?

'done for' in what way like?

Well, I have a love/hate relationship with my Langster. It's a great bike and the people I ride with who seem to really know their shit like it, but it seems to be frowned upon by a lot of fixed riders... I want to build a second bike, really take my time and make something great, but reckon that I'd keep the Langster even then.

Did you guys that own one of his frames get it direct from him or through TFG?

I ride a Langster 2009 ally and thought I'd give this years steel version a test ride... Fucking thing weighs a tonne!

If you want a Langster go for the ally model, it weighs about 30% lighter, is more responsive and quicker. If you're after track geometry at a cheap price, go for the Fuji Track.

I admit the steels look kinda cool, but once someone clocks the 'Langster' decal you're done for (no matter what model).

Just started using the Sixsixones. They do feel a touch heavier when riding but don't really weigh any more than any other skate shoe. They have a solid sole which transfers all your energy, they're comfy to walk in and look alright, even better when they get a bit grubby... even though some workmates said they look like shoes for 'special' people....
