Dilemma - I planned a long training ride today and opted to take my Condor geared bike. I opened the garage and the front wheel was flat. I couldn't be bothered to change it, so I unbolted the H + Son front wheel off my langster sled and bolted it onto the condor and went out.
Question; have I just turned my condor trainer into a tempory slave for five hours...........?
-
Sir, you have a message.
-
Oi Tenderloin, you're mowing on my patch ;-)
It is a good price/bike. Too good to split if you want an out of the box, ready to ride bike.
-
Sir, should you consider “asset stripping” this bike, please give me first offer on the frame. I would take the whole lot, but the welds have just gone on the seat tube of my condor trainer and the rest of the group set is fine. In the meantime, good luck with the sale.
-
Just flicking through the classifieds and had to say..........."that's a fooking smashing bike m8", good luck with the sale.
-
just a quick jersey update....
I think the Jersey is a shit idea! If you were a proper "work m8" you would help me choose the "hipster" parts for my new, up-and-coming "hip hop slave bike" project, instead of sorting out jerseys for people you don't know, to take on a stupid retro bike trip.
Lol. Pat, put my name down, I'll have one. There's no way I'm wearing it, when I get the slave sled running.
You retro lot want to look at this... 57 pages in three and a half months, this is where it's at.

68 to be exact and as I am 47 I doubt I'll be in your road race!!! Got a baby of 16 months so time for cycling is limited these days and in great need of shedding the added winter pounds!
Well I'm 43 and there's plenty of people older than me who race in the eastern road race league. In fact in my last race of last year, there was a chap from Cambridge who was 58 and came 18th! I emailed his club and told them I thought he was the "Mr Miyagi" of racing!
You'll soon loose weight banging out that sort of milage every week. It will just drop off, plus think of the fuel you will save, that will be a few hundred quid!
Good luck to you, I think it's spot on. If you see a big fooker with all the roadie gear on, riding a silver langster, which for my sins has been "hipstered/ slaved up" on the A1060 (I'm from Bishops Stortford) shout some abuse at me!

Live in writtle - commute to Vauxhall as soon as the clocks go forward..
Fooking hell, that must be a 70m round trip? Fair play, I salute your commute sir. I hope you're not in my road race next weekend! ;-)

^ care to explain this jackiespanner?
I have a dining room that isn't used as a dining room (despite the wife going mental about it every now and then) and I've got all my bike shite in there, computer, desk, pictures, books, bikes, tools etc.
It's a "man den".
-
Good thread.
- It takes an extra half hour to put all the winter clothes on.
- Crashing whilst wearing Rapha, Assos etc.
- Wondering what the “fook” you have to do to keep your feet warm whilst wearing 3 pairs of socks in a pair of shoes (1 size too big) plus overshoes.
- Constantly cleaning my bikes, because as a “roadie” having mudguards is a sign of weakness.
- Sitting in my “man cave” starring at my race bike, wondering when the “fooking” winter is going to end and I’ll be able to take it out!
Lol, it’s ok though, I still train hard and ride hard. You can’t make it hard enough!

I've just had to call an ambulance, I've just done several ribs.

My eventual aims are
1: lower rolling resistance by using larger rollers
2: add aerodynamic drag using a fluid dynamic brake
3: add inertia by a combination of the above4: Exercise more?
5: Eat less?Tester, I'm only pulling your leg. From your picture, I guess I'm about the same age and I was the same build as you. Now I'm a flying machine. If I don't make cat 2 racer this year, you will be the first to know. You can give me a plate full of ribbing!
Thanks for the post and I really like your bike. It shouldn't be indoors on rollers. ;-)

BUMP for a top "trusting" bloke. Received my chain tugs first class post and I haven't even paid for them yet! Come on, I'm still waiting for a method of payment please!
I'm really "made up". You are a proper gentleman. PMing now to say thanks and to send a rocket up your arse about how to pay you!
-
Dibs chain tugs please, but I only need one..............can you split? I'll get me coat. ;-)
PMing now.
-
That's alright, well spotted! Thank you for the link. JS
-
Bump. There must be loads of big frames needing a good home.
-
I do thousands of training miles on my Langster 61cm. Now racing's over I'll be back on it, great bike. Have a bump m8.
-
I'm interested in this frame but couldn't help but notice the "big gazelle frame" on the list of pictures. Is this still up for grabs? In fact I'll say DIBS!! now before any other fooker sees it. lol.
-
Harry, when you get 5 mins can you measure the top and head tube for me please. I'm on the large size and need to get this right. Cheers JS
-
Fooking hell, that's the donkey's knob! I would rip your arm off for that price, I've just got so many bikes! Good luck with the sale.
-
Thanks for measuring that. I only asked because I'm a shade under 6' 4" and this frame will be too short for me. I'm gutted because it really caught my eye and I think it looks the "donkeys knob", so good luck with the sale. Someone will get a really smashing frame for a good price. Cheers.

Jake brown Sir, I will post a picture. I wasn't sure if I'd get my pants pulled down for posting a "readers slave". I'll post a pic, first thing tomorrow. Thanks for your answer, I can sleep tonight.
I must be honest to say, HHSB thread is my favorite on LFGSS. LOL it's so wrong.
