I am a student and work part time, anyone looking for a flatmate in city centre or flat share? Needs room for 1 bike and storage space for lots of trainers ;) budget of 400pcm inc bills. Need to leave current flat within 4 weeks. PM me!

Maybe 3.30ish? Whoever it was let on to me anyway.

First one I went to was last month but it was awesome, hope to get a couple of mates and attend this time!

Fixed rider on an all black bike ploughing through the crowds by market street met stop as I got off and pushed my Fuji like a wimp :D

Me and a couple more people may be interested - we are students so Wednesdays would be good. Any further info? Cheers

I go through there every day... depressing reading.

On wednesday around 2.30pm I saw a Courier riding a white fixed gear with red bag, near Picadilly station. I cuntishly pulled into cycle lane from pavement in front of you without looking, just wanted to say sorry mate!

Does anyone have a matt white or black Fuji Track? Reckon it would look good matt white with stock parts?

I have an 09 and was thinking of an all white or all black powdercoat. Really dislike the metallic grey finish!

I am doing law at mmu. Have lived in manchester for a while though! I see you all go Sandbar - used to love that place when I was in halls.

Will be at MMU from September. Saw a shiny charge plug in the MMU cycle lockup (there was also a poster for a bike stolen from their though) thinking of getting a Evo Mini Kryptonite as my New York 3000 is too big for my bike frame!! Cant even bracket it on the seat post :(

Think I will stick with the New York Lock. The extra weight isnt that much when its on the frame or in a bag... rather depressing the lengths needed to go to to keep a bike safe!

la lanterne rouge: Thanks for replying. Leaving a bike overnight on the lash is a bad idea anywhere I guess! Do you/anyone think the Evolution model is 'safe' enough though? Would obivously like to get the lightest lock that will provide enough protection...

Just a quick one,

I have bought a Kryptonite New York 3000 lock from Evans (£41 with price match, nearly half price!) and I am concerned it is a little heavy...

I was thinking of returning it for the model down (evolution?) which can be price matched to £35. It weighs a lot less and I have seen a lot nicer bikes than my Fuji Track locked up with it - do you think this is adequate protection for the University and City Centre area?

The London based folk seem to think people only steal bikes in the capital but a stripped down frame on Oldham street I saw the other day (lock still attatched) suggests otherwise!!

Many Thanks

That looks really cool Rusty!

Thanks for the tip dangermuss that shop is just round the corner from me.

Looking for cheap:

brake(s)
lever(s)
bullhorn/chop handelbars

Ideally in black for the above Fuji Bike.

Regards

I just bought an 09 Track please post more 09 bikes up want some inspiration!!

Does anyone know if it is possible to remove the 'track' graphic from the tobtube? Looks really tacky imo might just tape it up with electrical tape, this wont damage the lacquer or paint will it?

Thats looks perfect!!! Check PMs

Looking for a bike around £300 mark or frame for sub £100 to build up - I am based in Manchester city centre. To suit 5ft 9ish rider.

Thanks!

would you like to use the search?

Thanks for the helpful tip. It seems the Kryptonite New York Fahgettaboudit Mini is the best option. If anyone else has a similar question there is very good thread called 'Locks that work'. http://www.londonfgss.com/thread17938.html

I dont think the theives here in Manchester are as prepared as in London, mainly because there isnt a bike market I am aware of to easily resell the items.

Not sure if this is the right thread, but I am looking to get my first single speed and need some advice on a good lock. (previous mtb and bmx stolen in broad daylight both times with a 'standard' D-Lock) Bike will be around the £300 mark.. Any suggestions?

Cheers

Also what height/inseam would this suit? Many Thanks

Is the frame still available? I am based in Manchester city centre.
