Will be guiding a friend through the mayhem but will sing happy birthday at every person I see ;)

I was told to buy shoes 2 sizes smaller but to be honest they were pretty painful and I reckon I could've gone a size up - just make sure your toes are curled at the ends and if you can find a shop with a bouldering wall (or a climbing shop at a wall) try that to get the right fit.

a single speed with green rims and a black iro with drops just before old st roundabout this morning- looking as pleased about the snow as I was - me on a heavily disguised IRO with white components.
-
met a couple of guys on this CM, helped them open a bottle on a railing (and basically threw half the beer onto the pavement) - you on here? Good to meet you and sorry about the spill :-)
-
Hope to say hi to some of you down there, will be trundling (what a word) around on a black IRO with white components. Looking forward to it!
-
Share the wealth then! :)
Haha, I have been informed that you can get the stick on ones in cycle surgery - expect to see a reflective face careering across Blackfriars bridge from now on...
-
moustache bearing gentleman at the eastern/old st fork this morning on a black Iro with green bits n bobs - thanks for the advice on where to get reflective strips, and sorry it was a little early and I couldn't get my brain engaged to compliment your B-er, your B, er, the big wheel on the back.
-
I ride home over Blackfriars (aka Death) bridge and its always a great view if the sky's putting on a show, makes my evening:
-
I love how you match the cat to the bike!
Yup, had the cat powdercoated. Made an awful noise ;)
-
about time I actually put my face on here, so here is the new ride to replace the teefing of my blue pug
And the mug:

I do usually wear the cat while commuting. Its more warming than a scarf and keeps my bike mice free.
-
Guy on a grey frame black unwrapped drops at CM last night looking for directions to elephant and castle, hope you found your way home mate!
-
this sounds interesting, I'd love to know how you get on as my family is that way (Leamington) and I've given thought to cycling there before - although don't fancy it in December!

Thanks Mick, will do.

Ola, me and my mate are still on the hunt for a vintage chainset for his dad’s 90th birthday (still cycling!), he’s a lifelong cyclist and obsessed with his (incredible) selection of high end vintage tourers and track bikes, so he only wants the best.
We’re looking for a CHATER LEA ideally but realise these are gold-dust, so any other suggestions (Williams and Stronglight were put forward before) would be great. It’ll need to be cottered and a 42T would be ideal – but we can always get a chainring separately.
He is expecting to have to pay through the nose for it so don’t worry about high price tags, we’re not expecting a 40’s stronglight set for a fiver.
Also if anyone wants to throw in re-chroming advice that would be amazing! And for those wondering we've asked at Sargent & Co (thanks edmundro!) but no luck so far, and we are monitoring the bay (just lost out on a bid before this) but thought I'd throw out a thread in case anyone on here has any lying around.
Cheers
Riki

had a cursory glance through the threads from today and didn't spot owt, admitted search fail but if you're that vexed stop bumping it by continuously pointing it out in a myriad of different ways to prove how forum 'ard you are. And it was less about the tube strike more about the video, but point taken and consider the thread dead.

Get ready for two days of extra cars and extra buses with this helpful explanation of why the LU is on strike.

Also don't forget this tried and tested approach:

I got this one from denmark:
They are made from a single slice of round steel, fitted to a brass bracket.
I'm finding these strangely attractive..

Thread resurrection, riding home drunk is not so good for your wheels, my mate (actually a mate not me, thankfully) went into a a curb at a stupid speed and mangled the wheel, frame's stuffed too. But I like the way it looks a bit like a heart, valentine fixed card?
-
Thanks Nebula much appreciated! I'll pass these on to my housemate and if he's interested I'll get in touch. :-)
-
Thanks to everyone, this is fantastic and gives him (and probably me as I'm curious now!) some great pointers.
Cheers again to everyone and if anyone else has some tips they're welcome!!

'lo all
My housemates Dad is going to be 90 (hurray) and is a die hard cycling fanatic. For his birthday he wants a good cottered chainset to put on one of his old touring bikes, something neither me or my housemate know anything about being young 'uns and knowing zip about older components and where to buy them. It'll be a geared tourer which I realise isn't the forum's speciality but I've seen a few people discussing cottered cranks but no-one discussing where they buy them (have used the search facility so not guilty of a search fail!)
Does anyone know where you can get decent components? I googled 'cottered chainsets' but seemed to get a load of £5-£10 results, and his Dad knows his bikes so he'll want something that isn't made out of tin!
Cheers!
Riki
