@coventry_eagle Yep, I thought it was you! I bought Scott's old bianchi D2 from you years ago. Hope you're well.

Apologies for my terminological error (and thanks for the correction+explanation). I hope my original point was clear, they're intentionally creating a scenario where a crash is highly likely.

Driving car / riding motorbike, getting ready to do my unrestricted moto tests, rocking L's atm :)

How are you? Good I hope.

Ah gotta love the idiots who fight like crazy to undertake you then drop back so you're half-wheeling them, forcing you drop back to a safe distance, rinse & repeat. Usually the same geniuses who will sit in the blindspot of another road user then are suddenly surprised when they are almost left hooked. The lack of basic Highway Code knowledge is astounding. These people (hopefully) wouldn't operate dangerous machinery without proper training or at least reading the instructions, why this sentiment doesn't apply to the road I'm still unsure. A lot of "monkey see, monkey do" going on IMO.

I'm often tempted to drop the dough on a CTC instructor course and offer free training to these individuals, though I doubt it'd do any good as many seem to think they're above it all. However, I sometimes try and initiate a conversation to try and discover the rationale behind their actions - only one person has obliged (luckily a logical intelligent human), and I emerged from it with greater understanding of what happened and also ways to avoid in future (we were both at fault, but not how either had originally thought) - more often than not they're immediately on the defensive giving out abuse, or some tribal car blaming BS. I don't even get this shit from North London 14 year olds on stolen mountain bikes.

Been driving/riding (motorbike) a lot recently, often find myself thanking people for looking over their shoulder before manoeuvring across the front of me, it happens so rarely. Commuters in race kit, obviously nowhere near as strong as they think they look, tend to be the worst offenders: riding at their absolute limits to shave a few seconds off their commute. Yep, because we all know riding full whack in rush-hour traffic fumes is gonna do wonders for your VO2 max. Seems like safe cyclists are in an ever shrinking minority in London, dangerous cnuts however are in rich supply.

Yo I'm bailing for this one, just been out on a quickie to/from Epping, popped back to get bank card and split the zip on my saddle bag and spent ages trying to refix now am super late 😰

Because I left a comma off the final sentence so it reads back oddly?

Tosser on some purple fixed riding straps on Albion Rd about 15 mins ago.
Keep these easy to remember points in mind when navigating London's famous London:

• Look over your shoulder, when pulling out from behind a bus, and when maneuvering when lanes merge. I muttered "Good thing I looked out for you" (to myself!) after I had to accommodate for your nonchalance twice in the space of 20m of road.
  
• Don't give it large to strangers when you have no idea what they've initially said to you. Especially when you don't know: who that person is, how they were raised, what kinda day they've had, or just how likely they are fuck you up on the spot at that given point in time.
  
  

:)

Just to add that I'm definitely no saint. (Then again I don't go chasing after people cruising home after a shitty day on a 97+ GI just to call them a "fucking coward", on top of a bunch of other inaudible insults that I could barely hear over the din of the wind either)

Got a carbon HED disc if you want, minor marks but nothing mental. Yours for 400 squids.

After a while you'll get the hang of it: LiveLeak.com - Riding a Bicycle Backwards down a bendy road.

If you're good at what you do, and have the work examples and credentials to back it up, no-one will care (for most work). Anyway, you should view working for someone else as a means to an end, not a way of life. Getting hung up on this is totally not worth it.

Thinking about/planning/working on/failing/learning/rethinking/succeeding/rinse-repeating some venture, that you're invested in on a level deeper than living pay-cheque to pay-cheque. Something that doesn't mean a greasy haired suit-skinned cad who doesn't even know your name (not that it matters by this point) is making a ton of cash; while you spend the majority of the time you aren't asleep, getting stressed.

Surprise! It's a scam. Ever compared what your effort rate is, when calculated for the client invoice? You're getting rinsed mate, especially in London. Surely you have interests or ideas that you are able to deliver in a way that also has the potential to be profitable? Pursue them, you never know, you might be able to make enough to live comfortably off of it, enjoy your work, and not get fired in the run up to Christmas. You as a developer of all people should be aware of this, especially right now. What's the worst that could happen? You'll just end up working for someone else again.

Pics?

Bump!
This has been months in the finding and to have it stolen so soon is an incredibly cruel twist of fate.

How far are you guys from N16?

Got a friend in need of a beater, was building it up, and the spare parts bin has gone dry. So we're in need of:

• 27.2mm seat post
  
• 1 1/8" stem with a 25.4mm clamp
  
  
  

Doesn't have to be hi-tech or super blingy (cheap, please), just need em ASAP!

Can pick up in central during work hours.
Cheers!

Got product?

What's hong fu's 'official' name for the frame?

HF-FM066 or something...

I want to cry.

Second thoughts, nah, I need more geared crabon. Fine, fine machine though.

And why a fairy sized frame?

Hmmm, if you've still got it come the end of the month, get in touch.
