I am planning a special night for my girlfriend and I'm looking for a decent keyboard player / singer who is able to do a varied selection of songs. I've got about £150 quid to spend on this for someone who can bring their own equipment.

Anyone know anyone or got any mates they can Reccomend?

Out.

Not trying to start an argument here, but maybe don't let your kids cycle a) on the pavement b) on their own and c) without helmets?

Those bars are hurting my head. Where's the left side gone?

Mine is called trigger, after triggers broom. Because it was one bike and through a process of upgrading everything, it has become another with nothing original on it.

Ginger bearded dude hooning it down holloway road about 2 minutes ago.

Oh no you didn't..

aghast I swear I even UTFS.

I'm shocked that there isn't already a thread about this...

What do you call your bike(s), and why?

My last one was called Ruby Brown, because she was, erm, red and brown.

My current one is named Trigger. Mainly because it evolved from the old bike after the replacement of so many parts, a bit like 'Triggers broom', which had had four new handles and 3 new heads.

Et toi?

Out. Put my back out this morning.

Enjoy.

Some huffing, puffing, fluro nodder who simply couldn't stand being behind me this morning between Camden road hill and Bayham Street. Difficult to pass nonchalantly when you look like your hyperventilating pal.

And if your choice of brake caliper allows, i agree that you should get the hope hed doctor

Dam.

Take the forks out of the stem, get something thin and longer than the length of the steerer tube (the tube the star shaped nut is wedged in). Wrap one end in something soft so it doesn't damage the nut, place it on the part where the screw screws in and gently tap it all the way down the tube until it pops out the bottom!

Simples.

.....And Shacklewell street yes?

Very excited about this.

A stupid question, I'm sure, but just humour me - The Brick Lane Polo courts are on Shacklewell Street yes?

Also, I won't be finishing the ride at the Maypole with you lovely people, I will be swinging off about 5 miles earlier in Shelford at the 'rents house.

Fingers crossed for no rain.

MKS Sylvan touring have done me proud. Combine with some MKS straps and cages and you're laughing. I too am a size 9, and went for the large size cages.

Noooo! You don't need to 'steal-proof' this bike. You need to buildIt up so its your 'mint as fuck, only ever take it out when it's bone dry and when you know you don't have to lock it up outdoors' bike. Then spend under £100 on a beater and ride that every day!

This frame is so beautiful that I plead with you to do it justice with parts, love and attention to detail it deserves. After all, if a man were to buy a Porsche to cure his mid life crisis then surely that would only come out at the weekends?

And for the love of god, don't paint it, especially don't paint it pink!

Anyway, best of luck with whatever you decide to do.

Somebody took it off our hands.

It's almost not ratty enough...

When I said horizontal straps in my last post, I actually meant diagonal. Doh. They are a piece of piss. Really great straps.

Horizontal restraps are reasonably good in that respect as its turning your foot straight on the pedal (after a small amount of wiggling) which tightens down the strap.

Alright let's get one of these going.

What sort of pedals do you have? If you have flat BMX type pedals then buy horizontal. If you have touring/commuter pedals then buy diagonal, as im relatively sure these are the only Velcro straps that will fit.

toe clips are just awful.

Also, this.

Restrap diagonal fit non BMX pedals, for people who don't like cages, but also don't do mad fixeh barspinz yo.
