5,000 members... sponsored by Specialized

As you may have noticed, today we pass the 5,000 member mark.

Apparently this makes us a big enough site that we are now being approached by bike companies wanting to reach this audience.

So it is with great honour that I can announce that as of today, LondonFgSs.com is now sponsored by Specialized.

What this means is that you'll continue to donate, and I will get to drink the money. It also means that I'll be riding a very special custom Langster in the near future.

I'll post photos when I have them.

Cool, eh? :)

Just providing a link to the image for posterity.

Congrats, VB.

And but so do we have to keep that banner at the top from now on?

Does this mean that hippy can get a discount on his next bike?

specialized?

EDIT.... i suppose any sponsorship is good sponsorship. so we shouldn't bitch and moan.
but specialized? Really?

Brick Lane Langster special edition?

VB - that is great news. Enjoy the fruits of your labour.

(in reply to tomasito):

Yes, it's part of the deal.

They've also purchased all of the avatars in exchange for some bikes to give away as prizes.

So once they supply the artwork for that, I'll change everyone's avatars.

VB tests his new 'specialarsed' bike

Changing all the avatars to what? You mean I can't keep my lion? :(

Brick Lane Langster special edition?

Never owned
Often 'borrowed'

HaHa!

I'm afraid not. I think we'll all have the Specialized 'S' logo... but I'm not sure what they have in mind.

They just waved cash, and of course I took it. £4.92 is not to be turned down in these hard times you know.

Ok. You got me :)

mr k well done... for being a corporate whore... ;)

tell them im available for photoshoots, ads, signature avatar making.etc.

monarchist!

(congrats., btw)

Who'd have thought it? The four horsemen of the apocalypse traded their nags in for Langster London Edition specials.

<--- Step away from the cherries

I am become death

I fear change... But well done VB, you totally deserve forty pieces of silver a nice kickback for all the hard interwebz work... ;]
