chicks dig scars. hopefully

and I'm tempted...

Due to a lovely hit and run by a BMW, my pride and joy Benotto commuting fixie has a properly buggered frame. It's really just for gettting to and from work, so i just need a fairly decent but cheap as chips frame to whack all the bits on. 56 or 58 cm. Help me out and I'll show you my stitches if you like.

i do 12.5 miles each way on a 52x17 (81"). Fairly flat through SE London, just beckenham hill to mash my way up on my way home. any lower gearing would be a right faff for the rest of the journey.

What gets me about Danny MacAskill is that he makes it look so damn easy. I'm not in a million years saying I could do 0.1% of what he does, but ultimately an ability to hop, balance and overcome fear, suss out a nice line and it just flows so easy. What I mean is, it doesn't. The guy's a genius and the most impressive thing about it is the seeming lack of effort.

it's also a bit of a flaw of his in a way. because it looks so easy and he's done so many videos, it doesn't look quite as impressive anymore. even though it is. impressive.

shit, i had a similar encounter with one of those stuck out lips. mine ended bonking the lamp post that was put on it.

utterly stupid fucking things, but admittedly fairly fucking stupid to not notice them. I ended up with this rad road rash on my arm.

this happened to me in march - i have no recollection of the six miles in the rest of the journey or my shower at work. hurt like fuck though. i wasn't actually wearing a yellow catsuit, but have employed some artistic license.

EDIT: forgot the poo. added now.

Outside the ITN building on Grays Inn Road? Take a look at this:

Has anyone reported missing a Fuji Pro Track bike? Its black and white with red bull horn handlebars and was left outside ITN on Grays Inn Road last week, the security guards have locked it away in the bike sheds after someone attempted to steal it.

ebay. just buy an old bike and put some new bits on it. or leave the old bits on it.

just get something with decent tubing (reynolds or columbus) and don't worry too much about everything else.

Alpha = Jean Claude Van Damme ?

haha. would snap in a strong breeze actually.

Here's me 3/4 of the way into the Dunwich Dynamo and feeling a bit monged

and here's my bike. singlespeed at the moment. i will flip the wheel around when i can be arsed to buy a cog and get up the courage to go down bromley hill fixed. and i know the cables are all over the place but I can't be arsed to replace the 30 year old brakes.

Hello hello. Thanks to this place i've finally got my singlespeed up and running - bought a pair of wheels from bikeranger on monday, whacked the on to my old benotto frame and have been merrily pootling too and from work on it. much more fun that my old mtb on slicks.

it looks nice here.

unless the axles are long enough to take a couple of spacers?

and it seems i can't read a tape measure - drop outs are 126mm so if there's a bit of space on the axle, i'll take em.

undibs me from the wheels place. dropout spacing is 130mm.

Maida Vale, 16t freewheel?

That's pretty good for me. picking up a new (old) frame this weekend and I don't know the width of the drop outs. what does the hub measure?

I can let you know for sure on Monday if that's ok. If anyone nabs them between now and then, no problem.

I think i can take the wheels off you - 16T on it? and where are you? pick up or delivery?
