Anyone fancy doing Highgate > St Albans > Highgate (flask for beers) this Sunday? Route isn't set in stone. I usually go up through Barnett and then it's pretty much all country roads to St.A. Then its down the A5183/A5 back into London!

Route is about 50m.

I will be on fixed, just so you know. Leaving about 9am from Highgate Village.

James.

Was he a bit bearded? Wearing a Bern (or summat similar) lid?

Possibly, I think I remember him having glasses. There may have been a small bit of facial topiary.

Gentleman on a white 725 this morning along the junction road. Nice chatting to you sir! (And nice ride)

i've also got tickets to the dormouse drive bit.

there is an expo on at denbies which might be worth a look.

This looks great.

My boss gave me a ticket to this event on Saturday, I'm assuming I don't need this then?

Anyone fancy riding down to this expo in the morning??

James.

Wa'gwaan this week?

Does anyone know what the route is? I was thinking of going to Cambridge on saturday but don't want to ride with 5000 other people.

You've probably picked the wrong day to cycle to Cambridge then. Anyway, I'd imagine it would be the A10.

PRICE DROP - saddle £85, freewheel £50 POSTED.

I won't be riding it, but I will be working as a mechanic, initially based at Roydon, in the pub car park (The first (of many!) refreshment stops)
Say hi if you stop there, and come to the front of the queue if you need anything fixing.

You sir, are a gent!

Brown Brooks Swallow saddle, chrome rails. Ridden for about 200 miles, almost as new. Selling due to colour change on bike. Small scuff near front, hardly noticeable. - £100 POSTED

White Ind ENO freewheel 16T, blue lockring. Literally ridden for about 50 miles before I decided to go fixed. Perfect condition, apart from a bit of road grit and chain grease! - £60 POSTED

PM me, first come, first served.

Can collect in Camden, postage price deducted, obvs.

James.

Also, I'm planning on sticking to 44/16 so the hills aren't to much of a challenge. I do have the option of 44/14 though, which would obviously be more comfortable on the flats. Anyone got an opinion?

Hello chaps.

Nice to hear some other people are doing it ss/fixed! All my coworkers think I'm bonkers, but it did manage to eek a bit more cash out of them.

I reckon it will be fine!? I manage 40 miles at the weekend with a bit of puff left over, so as long as I keep my stove burning with mars bars, I should be fine.

Wardy, I will keep my eyes peeled for you. I will be on the black cinelli gazette with black velocity deep v's. Would be nice to have someone to ride with!

See you Saturday boys.

Try Foffabikes.com - not sure you'll be allowed to take them out of London, and I'm not even sure that Foffa do fixed, but worth a shot.

Ah bugger, false alarm. It turns out I have the RB002's (26.0 / 38mm) still up for offers if any of you are keen.

Sorry chaps!

Will have a look later chaps and get back to you. Hope they have the model number written on them! Any other distinguishing factors of the RB010AA I should look out for?

I have some just lying around my flat that I don't really like so it would probably make sense to sell. Bought from TF and used them for about 50 miles before changing my mind. Silver. Not sure of the exact model but will find out later and get back to you with a price.

Fourth fatality today? This is appalling. My thoughts go out.

£180 dibs, I'll take em both. Will PM now.

Is the rear rim machined? If so, ever seen a brake?

Probably not appropriate to show those peoples email addys, dude.

I know it's not used but Tokyo fixed do a cool threadless 1" chrome fork.

Ride as you would wish others to.

Anyone doing it this year? I'm starting at 9AM.

Vice, freewheel tool and long piece of pipe over the wrench handle to give you a shed load of leverage??

Triathlete.. Probably blown through all three of his C02 carts not knowing how to use them and waiting for wife to pick him up in the X5..

Thought it was a TT bike? He seemed to be doing more standing around than anything else. What were you riding?

Who knows, the thing was upside down when I whizzed by. Looked nice anyway. I was on the black fixed gazzetta, white pisspot helmet.

Guy repairing a puncture(?) on his beautiful white Giant road frame this evening on the south side of the outer circle.

Lovely rig pal!
