Couple of potential forum cap spots yesterday evening. Had a chat with a guy on black frame at top of brixton hill at about 6:20, then not long after saw another cap heading south at trinity road/bellevue road junction- smiled a little then stopped. Me lycra-d up and on bright yellow MBK. hai

Had a spanner, but needed something to cut the metre long cable I bought
-
I ride fixed with front brake only. Front brake cable snapped near the end of my 10km morning commute today. Bought replacement cable but needed to get bike home to fix with tools...
So, rode home brakless tonight. Gotta say, it scared the shit outta me, even with my herculean legs. Had to ride at about 20kmh all the way home, about a quarter of my usual speed. Has made me think twice about putting the rear brake on too.
csb etc...

Just got home, having a quick bite to eat & found Simpsons movie on tv... Must resist urge to watch... Right, be there in 25min, on an electric bile coloured mbk
-
Right, might be able to make my first beers appearance tonight, you lucky lucky forumgers!
Just to be sure, it's at the Approach, this place right? Is there a decent place to lock the bike up nearby?
Should be there from about 8:30
-
hey scrapper, room looks cool. I'm definitely interested - shall I PM you or respond to the moveflat ad?
-
Not sure if this even belongs in this thread as its not actually locked per say. Fair enough as who would want to nick it anyway?
This pug however was in a prime nicking spot. snip snip...
also slack chain etc. etc.

Dude on white vigorelli RLJ'ing & undertaking like a boss around 6 this evening near Bloomsbury/holborn. can't really expect nodders to behave any differently when they see 'cool' guys like you setting that as an example

Hi all, been lurking around the forums for a while so thought I better join up and introduce myself. Been riding for a few years but only just recently made the switch to fixed. Am currently putting away about 70 miles a week on this below, not the greatest frame I admit, but is in good condition and is a nice fit for me (and was dirt cheap). Figured I'd build up bit of confidence on this then change the parts over to a nicer frame when cashflow allows.
Anyway if you see me around say hi - can't DAS for you yet but I'll get there :) & I'll have to make it down to east beers one wednesday as its stupid close to me.

ffm - sorry, I'm not sure on the lever cable reach. I would guess looking at them to be suitable for canti brakes.
