i got a frame from these guys this spring. James was incredibly helpful, really responsive on email. i inquired right before a sale and he even gave me the sale price ahead of time!

i wanted the track frame in a different color - he arranged the powdercoating for me as well

love the frame (725 track) as well.

two thumbs up from me

the opening 30km look a lot choppier than previous years...

(previous years route for reference https://www.strava.com/routes/2925108)

will take this bad boy, PMing now...

how hideous would this be to do on a singlespeed? mine is 48/16, about 79 gear inches

website says 'three major climbs' but route not up yet. how major is major? three trips up ditchling beacon?

hey smeear, this still available? how tall is your gf? trying to determine how well it will fit my better half

oh - one of crank arms is clearly still attached to chainring in pics but will separate them (or not if so desired)

Have completed a new build, so selling off a few bits and bobs from the old bike if anyone needs them:

1) specialties TA chainring, silver, 48t, 130 PCD £15

Got this last July, have put under 2000 miles on it. New cog and chain fitted at the same time, so wear is both minimal and even. Should have many, many more miles left on it

As described here: http://goo.gl/O3SGwX

2) beaten-up no name crank set £5

My old 170 cranks - I have no idea who the manufacturer is, would treat them as no-name. fit 130 PCD (as chainring above) and standard pedals fit. I've ridden these brutally for at least 15,000 miles and they look the part. Nothing wrong with them, though, I've just switched to 165s. Probably most appropriate for a beater / polo bike / etc

3) 3t short threadless stem £10

My old 3t stem - I have no idea the model number or material. It says 15 Nm on it in several places and 'Designed in Italy' on the bottom, if that helps. 50mm extension and 0 rise. 25.4 handlebar clamp. Served me faithfully for many years and although not the prettiest anymore, 100% functional

Cash on collection only: Bank / Liverpool St / Stratford all available

Thank you - give a shout with any Qs

Oliver, would be much appreciated! I love LCC, used to be a member and have volunteered for them a few times as well...

Howard, did indeed talk to them directly but gonna get a lawyer now, they are being ridiculous. thanks for recommendations

i am fortunate my injuries were not a lot worse...everyone be careful x

hi LFGSS,

I was cycling east on Dalston Ln on Sunday afternoon (18 Jan) when a car made a right turn (from Tyssen St) and plowed through my bicycle and I, sending us both through the air, my shoe down the road, etc. Police and ambulance both called to scene immediately.

Being dumb/concussed I didn't get any witness details, and now the driver/ insurance are refusing to replace the bike, and threatening to sue me to repair his car's bonnet (despite the fact that I had priority ldo).

Don't suppose anyone from LFGSS happened to be on the scene? Or a roommate, girlfriend, boyfriend, co-worker? Planning on standing around with a sign on Sunday afternoon and hoping one of the same people walks by...

Thank you for reading, apologies in advance if this is wrong forum, and thank you to the NHS!

anything on this?

yeah, for this reason I might prefer monthly > quarterly ? surely a majority of the c. 280 people signed up here will want to come to the first session, and that means more than half the list won't get inside for six months, possibly?

granted i go down to HHV regularly, so i may not be the median LFGSS user. but the HHV basic + intermediate + Monday race sessions probably get 100 different people per week on average.

Maybe once every two months as a compromise? Would be happy to put down some additional £££ upfront to secure a spot in bookings far out into the future

Will they allow a group of 50 at a time? If numbers are restricted then quarterly visits could end up being massively oversubscribed.

Really appreciate you setting this up.
