Cycling on fast country A-roads scares me way more.

The worst I ever cycled on was the road between Andover and Salisbury. Fast, narrow, and drivers who've never even heard of a bicycle, let alone seen one using their roads.

FYI it's made by SE, not Fuji (SE make the legendary PK Ripper BMX bike)

You could get a Iro Mark V for $600, bring it home and sell it - probably for a profit, too - you definitely wouldn't lose anything.

Good point - the bike-to-uni scheme is in partnership with fuji but the bike in question is SE. have edited the topic title.

I would probably leave the bike out there for next time i visit.

I have a friend at Emory university who i'm going to visit for most of December. Quite fancy hacking round Atlanta by bike and thought I might as well buy one seeing as the dollar is so weak - does anyone have any experience of the SE Draft?

I have to confess it's not really my cup of tea, but looks like it would do the job.

Edited to change brand name

I gave up my TV and started using http://www.uknova.com - British TV download site

It has loads of stuff on and you can ignore most of it and just pick out the stuff you want.

It has some old stuff (e.g. dennis potter/ jonathan meades/adam curtis) on there quite often as well as recent programs

He was sleeping in the street using his bike as a blanket?? And didn't wake up when it was removed from his person?

i want some of what he's got.

I found mine lying in the middle of tufnell park road. I reckon it's fairly comfortable - the strap is really well padded.

There was a mercian fixed on BCF classifieds a few days ago for 150 - I rang as soon as I saw it but it had already gone. Shame..

I used to have a vintage italian track frame :(

If your shoulders hurt it might be that your saddle is positioned too far back or your stem is too long or something. I had this problem with my new bike, still haven't sorted it completely.

If you read 'Rotten Boroughs' in Private Eye (recommended reading anyway), you soon get a jaundiced view on the competence / scruples of local councils!

Anyway, said it was tangenical. Rob's OK and bus drivers are cnuts.

Rotten boroughs has some pretty outrageous stuff - like the Newham Green mayor who turned the park attendants into his own private police force to terrorize the local youth.

I blame steve coogan

Charlotte - push downwards hard on their offside wing mirror as you sail back past them.

I know someone who works for the buses - nothing will come of it unless you're taken away in an ambulance, so my advice is not to bother. just let it go.

Condor not being wildly helpful? - no shit

why not tell them to leave the wheels off and build them yourself? - that should save some pennies anyway

Love: coming along Chelsea Embankment/Grosvenor Road - if you get in behind a moped you can fly into work in no time.

Hate: Rotherhithe tunnel - never again.

I squashed my finger riding on the hoods last year. Wouldn't stop me using them though, although I don't like anatomical bars on any bike - just normal drops for me

WTF happened to the stem on this? Looks like it's glued on to the shoulder of the forks. Maybe it's just me eyes goin funny from all the bright colors.

A couple of mil?

Get a spoke key. You won't regret it if you live.

I used armadillos for ages without a puncture. I wore through to the kevlar on the back tyre though, and then the rubber on the front started peeling away. Not sure what tyres I use now though - something cheap I expect
