David K [quote]nor_feest btw - this isn't my stuff.
Really?
A mate's then?
It's strange that every item is from the same seller, and is in fact every item he is selling that might be passable for this forum. Yet nothing from all other sellers selling cool stuff, just this one.
And a sink just means that the thread will drop off the front page of the forum faster, it won't keep bouncing to the top.[/quote]
nope not a mates either !
I was looking on ebay earlier I thought someone may have been interested.

asm [quote]nor_feest mines where I'm from. A bit of a play on words North East.
I live in Geordieland, not much in the way of s/s or fixed up here !
I think I may be in the minority.
Oh my good lord.
What do you ride my friend? Not in the toon much these days but you might see a bianchi pista with pink bastard grips around jesmond and gosforth, that'd be me![/quote]my god, i thought i may have been the only lad from the north on this site, at the moment I have a langster but i'm working on getting a new/old frame, want something in steel..
i'll look out for you I'm often around jesmond/gosforth/heaton live in North Gosforth.

Hi,
have you still got the frame
i'm interested

nimhbus i've got the geared Tricross, as mentioned.
i've got some 28 tyres on it now, i think they could go a little skinnier.
it's a good bike, no doubt, but i'm not keen on the decals, would like to get them off. It rides very stiff and fast and light though - i'm sure the SS version is very light indeed.
I've got a geared Tricross as well and I think it's a great bike, mine has 32tyres on it but I also have a set of mavic aksium wheels with 23 tyres on them which I swap over when I'm just doing a road ride.
I thought the canti brakes were poor, i think they're tektro, so I replace hem with empella frogglegs which are better but a bit more fiddly to set up.
I too am a bit unsure on the graphics, I'd have liked something morth subtle.
-
sure was !
spesh called it rust
-
wow, there are some seriously cool bikes on here, makes my langster in sh1t brown look really naff !
I'm off to pimp it up

also :
Section 30 of the Road Traffic Act 1988, as amended by the Road Traffic Act 1991, provides the offence of cycling on a road or public place whilst under the influence of drink or drugs. It states:
30(1) A person who, when riding a cycle on a road or other public place, is unfit to ride through drink or drugs (that is to say, is under the influence of drink or a drug to such an extent as to be incapable of having proper control of the cycle) is guilty of an offence.NOTES
(i) The evidence of the extent to which a person is affected must be measured by means other than the provision of a specimen of breath, blood or urine, as there is no power to require such a specimen in these circumstances. However, if such a specimen was offered, it is probable that the evidence obtained by analysis of the specimen would be admissible.
(ii) In Scotland a constable may arrest without warrant a person committing an offence.
(iii) In England and Wales a constable may only arrest without warrant in accordance with the powers of arrest set out in section 24 of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984. In such an instance, that power might be exercised where a satisfactory address has not been furnished, or the constable has reasonable grounds for believing that arrest is necessary to prevent such a person causing physical injury to himself or any other person (see also other conditions in s24 of PACE).
(iv) The absence of a specific power of arrest in England and Wales affects the ability of the police to present any form of medical evidence of the accused's condition.
(v) There is no offence of 'being in charge' of a cycle under the Road Traffic Acts, but such conduct may well be an offence of drunk in charge of a carriage under section 12 of the Licensing Act 1872. A bicycle or tricycle is a carriage for the purpose of that section.check out the bold text ... 1872 ??

I'm relatively ne to riding fixed, but found that I'm hooked.
I have found the transition from gears to fixed incredibly tiring, my knees ache at the moment but not as much as when I was fell running !
I've had an epiphany since going over to fixed
p.s I don't live anywhere near London, am I still alowed on the site.
