If your directors are happy to moderate then you have killed two birds with one stone because of the directors' liability. Seems only right that the directors are mods if they wish but others could be as well

I'm less worried about deletion of things moderators don't like than falling foul of the OSA. I'm confident that common sense would prevail. Perhaps start with applications for moderator posts. Everyone's contribution to the forum over the years is their CV so you know who you are getting. I'm sure that @velocio has a few trusted friends on here they could ask to review applications.
Happy to put myself forward as a potential moderator and won't cry if I don't make the cut

Another day at the track. Loving this bike, a joy to ride. I've included a photo of the GOD sticker, (Gerald 0'Donovan) which adorns the seat tube IYKYK

Risk should be minimal if the forum assembles a team of moderators who just kill everything out of line with fire. Hopefully the membership will by then understand the consequences and it will be a matter of dealing with rogue actors

Just registered. It's hard to use* and everything is small*

Yes not ideal but the bus ride to Derby is 20 mins and that is pretty diverse. Housing pound goes a pretty long way here. We paid £290k just under 2 years ago and that got us a fair amount of house. However, if the elderly parents are riding fixed I would discount it, it's a bit hilly.

East Midlands for rail links and affordability but due to their advancing years you may want them closer

EDIT @hazzelfrazzel moved up here from London a few years back because of affordability

WFGSS... not wrestling but...World Fixed Gear and Single Speed forum?

I don't understand this but it sounds brilliant

Also happy to assist.

i'm a commercial contracts solicitor but I can't do a fixie skid yet.

EDIT: will there be a nice kit like the EC1 Collective?

Perhaps joint liability as a condition for all members of the forum is the solution. Signing a binding agreement on joining of the forum for amny incidence which would transgress the legislation. Not only does it mitigate Velocio of the risk but also keeps everyone on their toes knowing that they are responsible for everything that they post.
More thoughts

1. Contractual liability for all members (as above)
   
2. crowd fund for a stautory compliance review (when we are ready)
   
3. Management committee
   

Cheers my man. A pleasure to trade with you

I used to commute from Bournville to the College of Law in Birmingham back in the day. I still have my British Waterways licence to cycle the towpath although I believe the requirement to hold one has long since passed

In that case pray to God he's incorporated and the company is still solvent. Getting my Mercian and Eddie Mcgrath back fromm the workshop ws stressful and they are only about 8 miles from where I live.
That aside if he did go to join the choir invisible his bikes may well jump in value as he is a bit of a lone wolf(?)
TBH I've been reading a bit too much about custom and self builds today. It just puts me in an annoyiing N+1 mood

Is the torch being warmed up??

Glad to hear you got paid out. Looking foorwrd to this next build

FWIW I havee a couple of sets of Vittoria Pistas and I think they are excellent. I've had experience of no brand clinchers on Bordeaux hire bikes which were sketchy and I've ridden with a couple people at Derby who've used various Vittoria corsas both tubular and clincher and ended up abandoning them and swapping out for Pistas.
One thing I have come to realise is the one area where you don't want to skimp is tyres.

Hi Moocher I'll take one of these. I'll DM you

RIP Hayley

I've been on a year but if you follow Pro race there are now some teams and enough journos/fans to make it worthwhile

1. cyclists and all things bicycle
   
2. Pro cycling chatter
   

Chainset sold, price drops on rings

Make it bigger and I'll buy it!

Thank you @velocio, like putting down an injured animal, it's the right thing to do

So much this. It just got controlled by a couple of pretentious people and no one else's opinion was considered valid. "No Ragrets" in leaving
