cool, thanks man

If you don't want it.... I know a person who does

I've always wanted to get a very, very dark blue frame.... nearly black, but not quite! There's a Dolan in Brick Lane right now like that.... looks amazing

I must admit that I have only ever seen silver ones... And you don't see many around either. Is this for the Dahon?

eeehhhh Ahhh I understand now :) Must have been a bit odd thinking is it eeehhhh or just coincidence!

I did think that... just wasn't sure how to pronounce eeehhhh in the real world!

Get a load over to Brick Lane Bikes.... we can get them out from there

I am the guy the with the Crumpler :-) lol

is there Polo tonight?

eeehhhh - did I just see u in Brick Lane Bikes, buying a PAC? I was also wearing a green t-shirt..... working at the counter with a Crumpler bag which was dismissed in favour of a Pac! :-)

If not, someone with exactly the same thoughts on PAC or Chrome was in there just now!

Yes yes, that would be good.....

Your making me want to re-spray!!

I've got the same frame.... only mine ain't so glam.

xx

asm saint martins. how could you tell? you don't know hovis do you?

I could tell from your website! I graduated from Chelsea in 2006..... we must have some sort of connection :-) I'm now at London Film School

[SORRY FOR THE OFF TOPIC]

I've got one on order..... can't wait

@asm are u at art college? Which one?

lol

asm Mallen Dec'd R T Mr

I really like this one

I've never really given it much thought.... I prefer Fixed Wheel myself, but I think it should stay the same - the name just means us guys.... but as Hippy says.... bold move!

I've heard that the Ambrosio and the SystemEx hubs are really good no nonsense hubs.... good for ripping around town. They are the standard hubs for the Harry Rowland wheel builds at Brick Lane Bikes

OK, cool, thanks again

Shit, sorry, that was long, didn't realise..... I suppose that's the point of the thread

It's is designed to put the rider's weight further to the front of the frame, to increase power transfer to the rear wheel due to less resistance, and also to increase aerodynamics. I think it looks really cool..... I've always wanted one..... I've only ever ridden one on the road that was comfortable.

Roberto, remember that ridiculous sloping Argos that I wanted off you..... I road around Kennington in the pissing rain with tubs pumped to 190psi or something on a bike fitted with massive aero bars and the most ridiculous angle of top-tube..... just staring at tarmac.

That Argos above looks so nice and plain..... + much better to ride brakeless as there is little weight put on the back, making it much easier to skid and do stuff with back wheel.... one of the advantages of having a track frame and/or a sloping TT/LoPro frame.

And u should get it built at brick lane bikes.... they have just got back from Italy with a host of vintage parts and frames.... I'm sure they could get just the right bits

I love those Cannondale Track frames..... it's a shame that you went Carbon with the front forks..... the original fork style was so nice.
