London Fixed-gear and Single-speed SJS Cycles

Dave made me a new mallet. Looking forward to trying it out tonight :)

Lets make sure we get two courts as there is an epic game scheduled.

You are quite right we need two courts as the said game is so Epic that no one will want to watch it.

#Ilovesarfteamsreally

Polo bike is out of commission (le sigh), will swing by on the granny bike after work and say hi...

Wtf.

how that happen Joe? has the bike already imploded?

on the way home from last week he stripped the thread of his hub i believe.

two words: bolt on

Waiting to hear if I can get a 37t 118bcd chainring from Spa Cycles... Then I'm building a back wheel with a bolt-on hub... Sick of stripping hubs...

I'll be getting there for about 5:45. Anyone else in for an early start?

6.15 for me

Cool, I'll still get there by 1746, but just to ask do you have a ball to play with?

Im supposed to be at work till 6, but No bosses in today means I'll be over at 5.45 or so :)

joe you know that, were gonna start taking the piss again right? two games dosnt give you a pass, you've just moved up above emmet in the mocking stakes again, oh dear.

go joe

You mean people have been mocking me?

I thought that it was praise.

^ shit Emmet i just realised how much that kid looks like you

Any kid looks like Emmet.

^hah

not gonna be there til half seven 8ish but when i get there i will be so totally there

I'll be there by 5h45...

its pouring down with rain

Nooooooooooooo!!

unfortunately it does here in lambeth

It will pass.

yep, just looked out the window, which is a stones throw from Newington.
Pissing down :-(

i really don't fancy the game if it carries on like this.

likewise

I've been looking forward to souths for ages and it has been all that has got me thrtough work today. I'll be damned if I miss it beacuse of some rain. It is winter for gods sake.

let's monitor it a bit. would really like to play the fixture if nothing else. but will go with other people's calls if newington starts to look in doubt.

robb - can I pick up prints tonight?

looks a bit better now

excellent news.

Yep, I haven't cut them though as it was easier to roll & put in a tube as it came off the printer. Gimme a ring when you're in the vicinity and I'll let you know where I am.
Am gonna sit in the office for a bit & see if the rain calms.

even better news!

In fact it seems to have stopped now.

this coupled with jonnys good news makes great news.,

Im in a windowless studio so I am ignorant to weather comditions I will keep an eye on the thread though...I don't mind playing on a wet surface but as I don't have a full imune system and have big assesments coming up I'd prefer not run any risks...I really wanna play polo though. If rain doesn't stop we could consider Peckham? Not for fixture but or throw INS? If the fixture doesn't happen I am free everyday but sunday.

Its stopped...sweeeet!

this, linked with skoota's good news, means the news just gets better and better

The forecast did say there would be a bit of rain, and lets remember people how well newington court can dry.

#polomissionary

newsflash* not flash flood

news just in!

Right will be there in 25, polo i love you

that is good news :)

seeya in a bit. I'm like Louis..meant to be working til 6pm, but no boss in, so i'm leaving in a mo!

Boss came in at 4pm! Barstard. Will be there a bit after 6.15

:(

anybody loose a chainring bolt screwdriver thingy at the courts last night? If so, i have it

not really sure where i should say this but seeing as it came up last night. sliding / skidding your bike into someones mallet arm as they are cocking to shoot and at their most vulnerable is dangerous and bush league. Sorry mat, but you could have really hurt JP last night and i meant to mention it to you. You have all the skills to hook or steal the ball at the last minute, you shouldnt be taking someone out like that. No hard feelings from you i'm sure but can we all stop that sort of thing.

jp also had shit luck with a puncture just outside the park gates. heard his rimming technique is experienced now.

hope the journey wasn't too bad dude.

Dt, is it a black handled one that slides out of the handle? If so Its mine was looking for it last night...

I really enjoyed the games last night and was there to watch jp's rimming... Looked painful.
