https://www.dropbox.com/s/6mrmpkkhbdj0u0r/2013-01-28%2009.26.22.jpg

Nicked and dumped over our fence, somewhat beaten up and sans handlebars.. :(

I'll take (35) the TA Specialities Pista Chainset please, pm on the way.

So are most of us in for the 1pm train from waterloo? If so will aim to be there for 1230 latest, think fox already has our tickets...

12:30 sounds good. Suggested place to meet to sort out cash & tickets etc?

Anyone mind if me and a friend jump in on groupsave?

Yep, 130.

I think they're all 130, but I'll have a measure and confirm later when I get in.

Hi

I've currently got a 16T freewheel, and a set of chainrings between 45 and 42. All second hand, but little used and decent quality.

I'd like to trade both of these to get a much lower ratio (for my girl's first SS bike).. I'm looking for around 18/40 if possible, but anything considered as long as it results in a lower ratio..

Let me know what you have, will buy if price is reasonable and you don't want to trade for my bits.

TIA

dibs, pming now.

Underwear.... I.e. padded shorts or whatever. From day 1...

Moisturiser (vaseline if that's lacking)...

Carbs. Lots and lots of carbs - but that'll be entirely obvious... Underwear choice less so...

I'll take the frame! Also out of town today - tomorrow some time ok?

Anyone knows if a paintball bullet would explode thrown at the windscreen?*

Keep 'em for 6+ months, they go brittle...

Then yes ;)

today i went past the morgan arms e3

VERY NICE. Great food (but limited choice), good beer. Gastro pub - pricey. Like, really not cheap..

and then the coborn arms e3.

possibilities.

Decent beer, more affordable. Shit food, shit choice of food.

Drinking in the coborn then moving to the morgan later to eat (as they're 200m away from each other) entirely works.

Bad bad ankle here. EPIC FAIL. :(

Damn, I'm out. Gotta go to regent's park on a mercy mission (to fix a friend's mrs' bike) this morning.

I'm gonna drag them out riding afterwards, but I guess it'll be up the canal for me today...

Have a great ride everyone, weather is awesome today! :)

The comment HAS to be sarcastic. They made a polystyrene cup for goodness sake!

Heh, I think it was a "well done for finally getting the fucking thing working"..

3d printing with ABS if fairly temperature sensitive, so it entirely didn't work until a couple of weeks ago ;)

One for the geeks. Check this out, made by some guy at http://london.hackspace.org.uk/ apparently.

I'd never herd of 3D printing before, amazed at the possibilities of this, epically if you paired it with a 3D scanner.

The Mendel in hackspace is actually only part constructed currently. However there is a MakerBot that is fully working, and a 3d scanner in the planning/starting stages..

But yeah - cool stuff :_)

<3 London hackspace - I'm a member and I regularly use the facilities for doing evil things bike stuff that wouldn't really be possible in my flat.

Why not fit the smaller size post, but shim the sides which are the wider part of the oval?

Nice, there are some really good ones in there, good work dude!

True, but i suppose (e.g.), a lugged track frame, which is already used on the road, not track, etc, etc, plus the fatigue of constant clamping-unclamping, will all in the end shorten the frames life, no?

Depends on the frame material.

This is entirely true for alu frames, but much less so for steel frames.

This is because steel (given a certain load cycle/stress) will deal with the stress cycling forever (literally), whereas alu will fail after a certain number of cycles..

Obviously, points already made in the thread about over tightening notwithstanding..

first cleats, and you wan time, get time alium.

+1

(well, actually, I've never tried alium's specifically, but I'd highly recommend Time pedals/cleats over SPD. Never going back. Ever...)

Is anyone having any problems with their Hotmail account at the moment? I'm not receieving any emails....

Hotmail appears quite ill today.

We send out a lot of mail at work and we have several thousand queued for Hotmail at the moment...

60cm c2c or c2t?

I'm fairly damn tall, but I'll take it and make it spare beater/pub bike if I'll fit on it :)
