Selling my Pompino here - my days of fixed are numbered.

I can do Friday unless it's raining, don't like rain.
Time and place?

Pair of Continental TourRide tyres 28-622. Hardly used. £10. Collection from Costessey (Queens Hills)

Last time I took a bike up there it was a case of locking it to a bench / lamp post, not a sheffield stand in sight.

I can do a lunchtime spin for ~90 minutes most days with a bit of notice.

"As a rule of thumb, a gearing in gear inches the same as a person's height in inches is a comfortable gear for riding on the flat" says Wikipedia.

However, my ride would be spinny as heck if that were true.

Don't know how far "too long is" but going South gives you good options too.

About 10 miles: Norwich > Trowse > Stoke Holy Cross (turn left up Stoke Road*) > Poringland > Arminghall > Trowse > Norwich

• Resembles an actual hill
  
  

About 20 miles: Norwich > Trowse > Stoke Holy Cross (left after the Church) > Shotesham > Brooke** > Bergh Apton > Poringland > Arminghall > Trowse > Norwich.

** Or turn left on the Norwich road to cut out the Bergh Apton part and shave a few miles off.

Or longer still, don't turn off in Stoke and keep going to Saxlingham, Hempnall, Woodton, Seething, Mundham, Brooke then as above. Around 35 miles.

I used to work there. The lights on the stairs never worked, nor did the heating, and sometimes tramps would wee in the lobby. It's probably improved since then.

I must've met the worst of the VCN bunch then. Big groups are fun, they usually split into smaller groups depending on pace as far as I know.

Brick Lane Bikes? I'm sure there's a load of other UK indies that'll ship.

The main clubs in Norwich are Iceni Velo, Velo Club Norwich and Norwich ABC. Iceni have a good rep and I've been on some good rides with ABC. Wouldn't touch VCN based on my experience, a lot too much testosterone.

Tatty is fine, what days are you in? I'll come and say hi while you're still employed there.

I've no idea on bars, I've always had drops. I don't want funny narrow hipster bars so perhaps something like these? They're only for commuting so I don't need bombproof DH bars. Risers I'm not sure on, the frame is quite tight as it is so I think they'll make me a bit too upright.

I'm double brakes on this one. Planet X have some cheapie levers but they're bar dependent.

I'm wanting to switch my fixed steed from drops to flats. Any bar / brake / grip recommendations? For everyday commuting, not mad freestyle tricks or anything like that.

I'll try again later in the week then. Unless it's raining.

When is DH open? I went to pop in today and it was all CLOSED.

At least the gorillas will be easy for me to find.

The lager cans gave it away. If nobody has done it by Monday afternoon I might take a ride over there.

Ah well, here's yer clue: it might be too dark to see Canaries from here.

Is the road that it's off an anagram of "local whirr"?

I never knew Norwich had so many parks. This looks familiar but I'm too busy to go hunting. Meh.

I've never been there, what's the issue with taking bikes in?

It's where I thought it is then. I found it by searching Google for gargoyle heads in Norwich.

I'm pretty sure I know where it is after some Google action. Won't be able to get there though. Also, I had no idea the place existed, assuming it's where I think it is. This game is harder than it sounds.

Whoa… Superfly was when I could drink Tequila on a Wednesday night and still get up for work the next day.
