it does belong to you though, right....

cheers

I've brilliantly managed to order my cog without ordering one of these, so if any one has one lying around, I really need one

Cheers

dude, you have no quran

my friend did something like that to one of the people in his flat at uni, his mate rang up and said he was bringing a girl back, and could they tidy up his room for him before he got back. So naturally, they put gay porn on his laptop, a huge tub of vaseline, and a massive pile of condoms.
The girl walked in, and walked straight out.

he's probably been lurking on here for ages

But i still cant imagine he's gonna take it home and put any foot retention on it....

so it's like this seasons must have pet?

You just can't be seen out unless you're walking your fixie skidder around the block?

At least you dont have to carry doggy bags.

there are some more pictures in the set, he's actually walking it to his car after buying it, along with his kid's bikes.

I think empty cans is gone, but the person behind empty cans isn't gone....

keeps trying to sell his TT bike in different threads (which he got from the cycle place he was volunteering in, which he mentioned before), with a link to his flickr:

bikes seem to match up to the bikes he said he owned, questionable spelling, joined right about the time empty cans left....

Looking for a bmx-style brake lever, with a 25mm+ clamp, not bothered about condition, black preferably.

anyone got any old bmx style brake levers they're willing to sell?

Just got a phone call from HMRC, which caused me to shit bricks, obviously.

After a minute or so chatting, it transpired that they believe that my previous employer had been paying out to the Student Loans Company via PAYE, in addition to me paying out to them from my own pocket. The upshot of this mistake is that they owe me thirteen and a half thousand pounds, plus interest! The lady I spoke to is going to double check and get back to me tomorrow.

Now that counts as an epic win, from where I'm sitting.

so much win.

When was the fast rider disqualified? I saw him go round a fair few times.

I've worked in a small branch of a well known chain store for three years now, we had to put up with so much shit, people threatening violence because we wouldn't refund a stolen £3.99 football, people returning deep fat fryers that still have oil in claiming them to be unused, shoplifters getting annoyed when we prevent them from stealing, and then waiting for 3 hours outside the shop until we close up etc.

t.b. are you moving to the same place as me?
I also move on the 18th.
(Raleigh Park?)

I'm living in Kingston (so it's really only just about in London), Kingston Bridge House Halls.

i would argue that this reads as there are secure bike racks/secure sheds.

if when you get there check if this is the case and if the shed isnt secure then keep your bike in your room till they make it secure. clearly secure is a subjective thing but im sure you could easily get the police round for a security check and they could provide a written thing saying the shed is not secure unless they put in fat ground anchors etc. if their secure areas arnt secure enough to pass an insurasnce inspection they arent secure. so tell them you'll keep it in the house till there are massive anchors to lock to. or something.*

*having no experience of this i have no idea if this is bolocks or not.

Yeah, the issue i had with their statement was that it was a general statement made about all the Halls my uni provides, i.e. i didnt know what the facilities were at my particular Halls. But it looks like they have a decent locked area though.

I read that as motor bikes and not bicycles.

It's definitely bikes, the heading above it is 'Car parking and Bicycles'.

As soon as i get there i'm going to find out all the details. If i'm gonna be putting down a deposit for use of the bike sheds, or possibly paying a small amount, would there be any chance that they'd have to reimburse for any thefts? All it takes is one moron to leave it unlocked over night and it could be gone (once they get through the multitude of extra locks i'll invariably buy out of paranoia). And i'm gonna look into insurance too.

HI, looking for a 103mm bottom bracket, so i can run a sugino messenger crankset. I've looked at prices online, but i thought i'd check if anyone's got any spare one's they're willing to sell before i bought new.

Cheers.

Pm'd about those sugino cranks

When I was in halls last year there was a bike shed which you could only enter with a keycard. To be fair, when all my friends' bikes that were in front of our block were nicked they didn't take any from inside the shed. Also, on campus most people tended to lock up really shittily, lots of cable locks, so there will always be an easier bike to take, not that that is very reassuring I know.

Check with your insurance (if you have it) about communal bike sheds too, I'm pretty sure ETA won't cover it. But if your bike is worth less than £400 and you go with Endsleigh for general student insurance they don't really care where you keep it.

Did the bike shed have a cover to keep rain etc off? I dont think my beater would last a winter exposed to the elements. I'll probably e-mail the Halls providers to find out about the facilities. I went on google maps, on google street view you can see a row of not-so-good bike racks that are only partially covered and visible from the street, but they are next to a brick walled cage thingy that is under cover, hopefully that'll be the bike shed.

I'm not too worried about locking up at the campus, theres a massive bike rack with loads of expensive looking bikes (i'm in the same building as all the creative courses, hipster central) so hopefully my dusty old peugeot'll blend into the background.

What are the designated areas?

Dunno yet, i dont move in till the 18th, their website says "There are also secure bicycle racks and/or sheds." which probably means a couple of outdoor bike racks right near the entrance. Is it their responsibility to keep this area secure? Obviously i'll buy locks etc, but if any old criminal can walk right up to my bike, that isn't very reassuring.

I've just re-read the terms and conditions for my uni halls (which i've now signed and sent off)

"Any vehicles (including bikes) must be left in designated areas
only."

Brilliant, i guess that means i'm going to spend all of next year panicking about my bike being nicked.

That Gavras film looks really good. The clip at 1:16 looks like a reference to his video for M.I.A., 'Born Free'.

Dunno if this has been posted already....

"Premium Rush Movie is a** David Koepp** directed action thriller flick that will follows the endless and risky journey of a bike messenger.

Premium Rush centers Joseph Gordon-Levitt as bike messenger who on duty retrieves a package from Columbia University but little did he
know of its consequences when he is chased chase across New York City by a dirty cop who seems to have a thing for the parcel and its contents."

The guy from inception is being paid to be a fakenger.

Hello, moving down to Kingston for uni next month, currently converting an old peugeot road bike, and i can already say that without this forum, i wouldnt have learnt half the useful stuff i know now.
