Now sold, apologies.

Top one is a fantastic

I moved from M6 to T2 and it was honestly the best thing I've ever done camera-wise.

The build quality of the M6 is amazing and when everything in the equation is bang-on it's really hard to beat. It's also pretty versatile if you have a few lenses...

BUT

Let's be honest, the time and effort required to wrangle that manual focus is pretty impractical and you pay a price for that. Also, no-one has a range of lenses because they cost a fortune.

By contrast, Contax T2 (especially at 2.8 auto-focus) has changed my life. I'm definitely someone who's less interested in the exactitudes of photography and more interested in 'the moment' and for that it's amazing. Caught so much good street stuff with that set-up and there's there's manual/zone focus option and other apertures if you want to experiment with settings. Granted it's not as versatile as a selection of M-mounts but the camera also costs less than a single Leica lens.

It's also a really beautiful object in it's own right and the flash is built in and brilliant. Best camera I ever had.

Hey.

Frame is 56cm C-T

Hi guys,

Selling my Dave Quinn track bike which has been sat in my flat unused for three years and now really needs to go due to house move. I love this bike but the truth is I just don't really use it.

The frame is hand-built from Reynolds 653 and comes from Dave Quinn in Chester. I bought it from James on here (think he was Pistoffski?) about seven years ago and for about four of those it served as my everyday street rat. It's in pretty good condition but has a few decent sized chips in the (incredible) enamel work. Tried to capture some of these in the snaps. If you like your paintwork pristine, this isn't for you.

Might as well get straight to the catch: I no longer have the key for the Krypto lock so the buyer would have to deal with that. Angle grinder ought to do it.

Here's a list of the parts:

Bars: Nitto
Stem: 3T
Post: Thomson
Seat: Dogshit Regal copy BUT I have a beautiful brand new Turbo I can chuck in for an extra £20.
Crankset: Sugino Messenger
Wheels: Mavic Ellipse
Front break: One I got from BLB but it's surprisingly good quality. Lever is a Goldfinger.
Tyres: Gatorskins

Quality of the frame is super-high. As stated, it was made by Dave Quinn who employed some amazing frame-builders. Paul Donohue (who I imagine needs no introduction) built a lot of these. There is a large Cinelli logo on the the bottom bracket shell and I believe the dropouts/ends are Campag. Drilled for brake from factory. Tight clearances, aggressive geo, very fun, nippy bike. Outrageous 90s colour scheme, just getting a little ratty in its old age.

PRICE: £450

Collection: Upper Holloway.

Question for the Poundland Vista 200 veterans - is it any good on dull days? Thinking about taking some to Bologna this Christmas but part of me thinks 400 iso would be a better bet . (The Vista is just irresistibly cheap.)

Just tried to post some new shots but I always get the 'corrupt image' symbol with an imgur link... Any ideas?

Any recommendations for cost-effective film development in London? I feel like there's got to be something better than Snappy Snaps...

Was checking out those Cons in FP earlier. So much nicer in the flesh.

Wow, what a fucking original design. Do you think the market is ready?

I feel like Common Projects has had a profound influence on a lot of these stripped back styles

It's not difficult:

Entry level bikes sold as such = ok.

Entry level bikes sold as bespoke vintage hand-crafted track bike developed by deeply sexual Italian artisans and rolling on H+Son (I promise) and the slickest fixed gear finery = not ok.

Also not ok/damaging to reputation:
Selling mechanically unsound 'refurbishments'
Perversion of the great cycling lexicon to misrepresent products
Lying about Chinese manufacturers
Dressing up gas pipe and selling at BMC prices
Aggressive exchanges with forum members when called out on any of the above

I agree to some extent. There are definitely a lot of problems with the film, particularly in the third act but the feeling of suspense throughout the first hour is something I rarely experience in modern movies. My biggest gripe would probably be the dialogue, mostly between Affleck and Pike (but also the sister to a lesser extent). Im not sure how much they lifted from the book but fuck me it was borderline unbearable when they were just firing quips at each other.

Nightcrawler is ace and definitely superior but I loved Gone Girl for it's ability to keep me absolutely glued to the screen. I didn't find the conclusion to be that convincing. (But then it did also have Emily Ratajkowski so...)

New 576 is similar and much nicer IMO

The plug sockets say it all

Kill me.

I am usually an 8.5 in Adidas/NB. Was a 9 in Trainerendors.

How long will it ACTUALLY take me to receive some iD Roshe Runs? The site is saying 6 weeks which is obviously bare jokes etc

Any idea how they fit size-wise? I'm 8.5 in NBs but Size only has 8 or 9 in the Trainerendors and I'm wondering which way to go...

Black Trainerendors back at Size...
