I think Rons bike exemplifies the current culture in gravel bikes that is jocks getting excited that one can avoid receiving the slur “roadie” by doing the same Stuff with bigger rubber. without changing anything about how one interacts with cycling and why that word is used with derision

"I was not so persuaded the sentences in and of themselves were the real issue," he said. "For me it was the speed [of processing cases] that I think may have played some small part in bringing the situation back under control.

the point being, he's a lefty and the best he can answer for the underpinning of what lead to the riots and solutions to them, while in absalute control of the prosecution service, a position of material power, is to send people to prison as quick as possible to send a message of fear and control.

put this in context with his general pro criminalization, or anti leagalization stances you can see he's a pro carceral politician - and tbqh - when we think about the causes of crime and tackling them, someone who cannot discuss this further than crime or punishment, with a record of explicitly being pro carcarel solutions, and an expansion of state surveilance aperatus, it's not particularly poggers for a leader of the left leaning party

it's 2023 and he's to the right of many american politicans and states on this, several european countries, starmer is at least, not a prison abolitionist, or even a reformist (he's someone who seeks to make it more efficient), at worst is a punitive conservative on criminal justice compared to his peers nationally and internationally.

starmer is also quite flexible on a lot of things, he's inherently pragmatic, which is why i ignore a lot of what comes out of his mouth. however, it's clear that he's consitently pretty firm on his beliefs around crime and punishment and where he see's priority. which imo, anyone in the broardest tent of "anyone other than a tory" on the left should be holding his feet to the fire on

i actually had the same criticism of corbyns manifestos being pretty light on prison and policing reform , the current system and policing is a main driver of racism and cyclical poverty in this country, as well as failing some of the most vulnerable (homeless, abuse victims, women, gay and trans people). it's unpopular to talk about sure, this is a first pass 14 months out sure, but with the likely hood of this man getting power (other than a huge shift in polling or a fuck up on his part), it's something we looking to vote for this party should be talking about

good time to remember adam curtis's comments on liberal nihilism with starmer putting out his personal letter

between the homer and the cross check both should take me up the hill to the chip shop

made this while watching hasan

he means put people in jail, he's been pretty pro jail for his entire career, and the few times he's spoken about policy are to hire cops and criminalise more behaviour

dude loves prisons, and it's not really sensational to say that

beat me to it

mog? more like mug

that's what you gotta be!! am i rite!!

preamble flatbar is like £1050 for a full build, this will be very popular with the commuter who works in a large city, drinks at brewdog, eats at mildreds and spends the weekend doing some hobby which is actually more an expression of class than an activity

classist

conniseur brake pad choice

wanted an S&M bike for ages, was actually looking at these for ages but decided the fork decision was just too annoying . before the homer was painted like letty's 240sx it was going to be atf trans red

remember riding my 2000's dk six pack or easton trail digger wishing i had an S&M, both lovely in their own right tho

@samrensho sadly that is far too slack; weirdly, 650b??!?!?! unridable

@atz ahahaha this is great

@yak they will be faster than me, they'll be the ones having to watch out for my bimbling ass

cotic is sold, went to @George , looking forward to seeing him ride it about - had a lovely conversation about bikes and a mutual hand wringing about "liking bikes, not so much riding them in a conventional manner"

but he did let me know about the lordship pumptrack , looks ace???! hopefully get over there one lunch break for a coffee and loop, or after work as evenings get brighter

as for the next bike i'm enjoying the moral and emotional superiority of only having 2 of them knocking about, so nothing just yet , maybe if the right bargain pops up over summer

i was talking to friends about it would be cool to have a 26'' bmx, steep head angle, high bb and all, with disc brakes, a dropper and cargo mounts (DEFINATELY NOT A 26'' MTB OR A SURLY 1X1) but luckily noone is making these

lovely duo of bikes, riding looks fab

this looks so adorable

are those neji saurus pliers , someone really knows their stuff

bike looks great

sold to a lovely home :)

£650 - pick up n15

This is the cotic I built last year, I built it to see if it would make me ride a bike in the winter but I didn’t touch it once!

So here it is for sale

Perfect hard tail for epping

It has been used, but serviced within 100 off road miles, fork seals were freshly replaced last service and I have new brake pads for the buyer, cassette was new when built and chain isn’t at .75 stretch yet, dropper is smooth

It’s set up for 183cm here, would go smaller a fair bit, no larger

Superstar wheels and Vitoria tyres (freehub body is alu and ratty but roll well)
853 frame
Rockshox 100mm
Brand x dropper
Sram xo1 cranks
Deore drive train and brakes
No name finishing kit
(Pedals not included)

Won’t be taking more photos of it, won’t be posting, won’t be splitting, cash is king, it is what it is,

Would happily ride it around epping in summer, would happily take 650# and space in the flat
