The person who works as a security guard in my nearest branch of Sainsburys always allows me to bring my bike in. The person working as a security guard in the nearest but one branch of Sainsburys always refuses. I haven't asked in Waitrose yet.

What I find interesting about this thread is the idea that if you replaced the words "jobsworth" & "cyclist" with "person doing job" and "person riding bike" you might perceive the situation differently. I am not advocating any particular view(except perhaps an existentialist one).

I can't help thinking that threads like these do the same kind of thing as people who record instances of bad behaviour on each of their journeys with a GoPro. If you look for it you'll find it.

Heres my advice - get a well sized hybrid. While you're riding around wondering whether you ought, or ought not to have bought the custom bike, and you're imagining the scornful looks from members of LFGSS as they pass you on the street remember this ; its not about the bike.

They aren't trying to stop you doing what you want. They're trying to stop you doing something you will, in all likelihood regret. As I understand it, a custom frame is something you decide to get after riding many different bikes for many many miles. Its a distillation of, and a reflection of your devotion to cycling, not a thing you do simply because you have the money. I do not mean this to sound harsh - I was lolling because it struck me as funny that no-one quite knew how to tell you this.

lol. This thread.

Can post more pics if wanted. Its in pretty much as new condition. One tiny paint ding on downtube, not through to metal.

For Sale is my Genesis High Latitude 29er. Alfine 11 , Deore mineral oil discs, reynolds 520 frame tubing.
Its a frame size 20.5, which would I guess suit a rider over 5' 10. I'm 6' 3 and its set up for me in the picture. Its 2 years old, and has had about 2 months use. The reason for the low mileage is I bought it as a winter bike purely because I could (I'm more of a roadie by inclination), and at the time I was working at a bike shop and could therefore buy at trade. The retail on these was £1700. Having said that it rides beautifully, and if I could keep it I would.Its super low maintenance, stops like that, and has the safest feel of any bike I've ever ridden. I'm asking £700, if that strikes you as unreasonable pitch me an offer. Available to test ride, I'm in Clapham. Its been lovingly maintained, I'm a Digger-trained mechanic :-).

loving the pug on the headtube.

Oh I like that^. Im rarely a fan of coloured tyres or Thomson kit but that works.

Um,yeah I was poking fun at the kind of person who'd try to correct someone who'd just ..... oh never mind.

Its joking aside :-)

If I were to see that being ridden around town I would have to remind myself to close my mouth.

I'm usually too busy trying to avoid London Dynamo to pay attention to people in a carpark.
