London Fixed-gear and Single-speed

oh good, this discussion again. I thought the basic, most fundamental and only thing we could agree on (apart from both pics having the same bike) was 'each to their own' although certain practices may be frowned upon?

^And we don't agree on that. I would rather someone took two shots in one day with different bikes than use a pre-tag which makes it all too easy. Above all, no night shots with inadequate cameras!

argh!

Nice one, JC - you've just re-ignited the Great Pre-Tag Debates of ... well it happens pretty much every couple of weeks. Just don't get caught / announce to the world that's what you're planning to do.

Of course, if you go and get Brain-Stew's mysterious posts and move the game on a bit, all will be forgiven.

so since we can't agree on anything, then surely 'each to their own interpretation of the basic premise' is the lowest common denominator? and no reflecto porn?

MinhDinh's word is the law. :)

And, tell us where the tag is when you find it.

He did I think, in the previous post with the links rather than pics. Though 'near Goldhawk Road tube' could have been a wee bit more specific.

Oh Will...

We have a new rule to disagree about, Thanks Will
1. No reflecto porn.
2. No blank or near blank walls.
3. No hogging the game.
4. Locations must be freely accessible to the public.
5. Old and new tags must have the same bicycle
6. The rules may only be broken only if one of the two following clauses apply
a) It is funny
b) You really, really want to
7. Rule 6 does not apply in the case of rule 1.
8. The committee's decision is final.
9. And, tell us where the tag is when you find it

Oh skydancer...

too slow

Go Scoot...

I think i have an idea where this is tbh, although i should be revising i'm tempted to have a crack

We would love to put the rules in the OP but the mysterious MinhDinh has disappeared and we can't edit his post!

Welcome to the game anyway. It's always nice to have new players.

I know what building Brain Stew is talking about in his last clue (the one near the tag) but scouring the area on google maps hasn't helped!

old opposite city thameslink

new

how do you enter the competition?

I-recognise-those-iron-works

me too (which is another clue)

me too (which is not a clue)

cant-remember-where-from-though...

Made by this fine Scotsman if I'm not mistaken.

Might get this tomorrow, and I've got in unrelated but interesting tag to follow it. Been too long.

I was so far off.

Ooh! I know!

the name of the shade of red used on the ironworks [not visible] is a clue to the location, too.
group tag tomorrow?
6pm good?

I wish I could play this more, I never seem to know where things are, much.

Rule 10. no more churches ffs.

^^6pm - is that allowing for you having a couple of punctures on the way?

;)

Looked like smithfield market to me but definitely not, no idea!

Clue: The tree isn't made of tree

Bronze Maple
Copper Larch
Plastic Elm
String quercus robur

Well done rhowe - that last tag did drag on a bit really, so I'd propose rule 10:

1. No reflecto porn.
2. No blank or near blank walls.
3. No hogging the game.
4. Locations must be freely accessible to the public.
5. Old and new tags must have the same bicycle
6. The rules may only be broken only if one of the two following clauses apply
a) It is funny
b) You really, really want to
7. Rule 6 does not apply in the case of rule 1.
8. The committee's decision is final.
9. And, tell us where the tag is when you find it
10. And make sure the tag isn't too hard with too cryptic a clue

If you were looking on Google maps, the last clue directed you to Lovells (a passion for Ernie, geddit) and with a bit of help from streetview you should have been able to see the mysterious metal railings:
http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=snow...338.15,,0,6.96

Can anyone identify that rider, though?

Count me in!

Aah! Makes sense now. I was scouring the maps for ELS solicitors/lawyers/etc.

I'm sure I've read or been told what those white posts are - I'm pretty sure that it's a piece of sculpture made of the leftovers of either some building or something railway-related but try as I might, I can't find any details.

Interesting that everyone recognises the iron-work, for me it's the brick-work that stands out.

The clues on the other hand are just confusing me.

I want to get this. Can I use a baby instead of a bike?

NO FUCK oFF.

Ok.

I saw it being erected. 'tis sweet.

I saw it being erected and I'm slightly miffed at what they claim it's made of, it has extra support up the middle which is cheating in my book.

Might get there for 6, will see how the day pans out.

If it's where I think it is, one of the clues is just in the poster's initials. The others I have no idea.

Ooh, might go do this now, save you chaps an early morning.

so we're not doing it all together at 6? :(

I can't leave work until about 6/6:30 :(

Have fun!

Oh 6pm, thought it said AM.
I shall step down.

yeh, right.

I got that clue. Just went the wrong way on street view and never found the railings.

THis is just down the road from me. Shame I'm running home today :(

Feeling I'll and need to go home, also I have no camera so would need to be part of a group tag, can't risk the forever alone disappointment's effect upon my health and ability to cycle back to peckham in one piece.

forgot. wait for me:F

Pretty much the first one I've recognised and I'm stuck on the world's most boring conference call. ffs

I'll swing by on my way home but don't reallt expect to catch anyone
