rad, maybe one day i'll get a Columbus MAX road bike to go with my Columbus MAX track bike

Are the metal wellgo flats not for sale?

Wow amazing Lot 24 for me please

No I havent

No, I am not part of a road cycling club

people should already be proficient at actually riding a bicycle.

^ But I am not new to riding a bicycle.

Everyone does have to start somewhere,

I am not coming from a background where competitive cycling was all around me like I’m sure it must have been for many of you and young people I saw at Herne Hill. I decided to go to HH because I am personally enthusiastic and want to get involved. Its not some natural development in my cycling career!

I would however be interested in joining a road club at some point – getting involved in the local cycling community at HH seems like a natural way to find out about what types of cycling are on offer to me.

to those who believe that the track pathway should be built around their personal schedule

I have a job and I have a full time degree these are my priorities. track cycling if it is going to become a part of my life needs to work around that.

Anyway the coach (I’ll drop the ‘nice old guy' – I was just trying to be descriptive) told me to come down so I will – I will talk to those on duty about my situation and wont be taking part if they or I think it is dangerous and irresponsible.

Race training on monday nights is also a good bet for you to get the idea of what racing is like.

I ama novice, I did my track induction last weekend but in general I work on Saturdays so can’t put in the hours at basic training. After my induction last week I talked to the nice old guy who was at the sign up table and he said to come to the race training on Mondays.

Can you shed some light on how the race training is organised, how are the riders grouped, are there other less experienced riders? Am I going to be so out of my depth that I am a liability?

I shall be coming down tomorrow regardless but well see how it goes as to whether I participate or just spectate.

I'll be down tomorrow for an induction. On a big red Gazelle if anyone wants to say hello - it'll be like the internet coming to life.

I'll be there for an induction as well. On a big (hopefully) Herne Hill rented bike- I'll come say hello.

Yeah the profile was routed, bit of a cop out – the technician did it for me at university.

Just hope I don’t come home to a heap of track bike on my floor and a massive hole in my plasterboard wall one day.

Had a go at making my own pedal hanging/wall mount, very happy with it

^ I love ENT and loved Snuff. As for blowing stuff up surely they should have Dr and the Crippens - remember their exploding cabbage head?

My old science teacher played trombone in Snuff

What do people know about LUDO frames?

I’ve just brought one on here and it’s coming from the Netherlands.

• ps. how do you embed images properly?
  

beautiful frame, Can someone educate me - Why does it have horizontal drop outs yet it isn't drilled for brakes. Is this a track or a road frame?

Oh Man!!

too late again.
lovely frame.

second dibs on risers please.

pickup in Peckham per chance?

I've posted this on a few analogue photography forums but figured i'd post it here as well.

I found a rare photographic device which I imagine you won't have come across before. It seems to be in good condition considering its age and where I found it but there are a number of issues which are stopping it from working. I am posting this in the hope that this forum might teach me a bit more about it and hopefully set me on the road to repairing it. If you are interested and have a few minutes spare read on:

To cut a long story short (or at least shorter);

• A few weeks ago I found an interesting case in a skip in South East London.

• It contained an old photographic instrument called the ‘Coreco Automatic Color Camera, Model 300’. There is very little to be found on the internet about this device.

• Through some research I have found that the camera was produced in the 1940s with the purpose of taking fully automatic close-up medical photographs.

• By playing around with it I think I understand how the camera functions. It uses a novel automatic system to control the variables that affect an exposure.

• The variables are controlled physically, by the proportions of a variety of attachments. Each has a different purpose/intended subject.

• The attachments included in the case I found are intended for various special applications, notably photographing the interior of the vagina.

• I am intrigued by the mechanics of this camera and have decided I want to get it to function again.

• I have identified a number of problems which I think are preventing the camera from operating there may be more that well come up along the way. I am hoping this forum may hold some answers to these.

You can read a full write up on what I know about the camera on my blog here:

I have documented the device photographically in this set on my flickr account which you can see here:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/mwmwmwmwmwmw/sets/72157631782577016/

Each image is annotated, If you are interested enough please read through it, this should get you up to speed with how in my opinion the camera functions.

I have a basic knowledge of photography and no experience in Camera repair however I think in essence this camera is a simple device. The three main issues I see with this Camera are these:

1. The Integral lighting system is mains powered, and runs via a transformer from an American style plug. There may be issues with incompatible Voltage/Current, I have no real knowledge of electronics. Regardless of this the wiring is more then 70 years old and may need replacing.

2. The bulbs are all blown; replacements may be difficult to source.

3. The shutter winding system seems to be jammed

So, what advice can you give me?

I will be documenting my progress with the camera on my blog:
