been using a pair of bastard gusset grips, in pink, on a pair of bars. yeah, they work nicely.

mashton OK, here it is so far:

That goes as far as Stoke Newington Cemetery. There area couple of bits I am not sure of (Primose Hill -> Swain's Lane & Hornsey Rise to Crouch Hill) but I think I have got the spirit of it.

Jonny, can you fill in the rest?

yeah, i know the way we went - i am just not sure how to edit the map in the link! if you give me a quick idiots quide i will sort it. i assume it works the same as bikely.com

shit kowalsi, like many on here, i have followed your witcomb trials and tribulations with some interest. you get a consoling pint from me next time i see ya.

have you started thinking of your plan B? or is too early yet?

BringMeMyFix @jonny - what gear are you riding in? If you're putting the hammer down in 48x16 or something, I'm going to be spinning my tits off all day. Would be good prep for Rollapaluza I s'pose :S

BMMF - nah, don't worry mate, 48*18. don't reckon i could push the 16 like some on ere. looking fwd to seeing you spin that 46*18 on the descent into brighton - that's if you wait for us at the top of Ditchling!

Brett, cheers dude. i live 5 mins from there so doesn't make sense to get down to HPC really.

am up to 80% on this one. will mostly likely be in lycra tho so I can put the hammer down (ain't carrying anything up ditchling beacon that i don't have to). oh, and will meet you at the top of brixton hill where it crosses the south circular. assuming you guys will be there about 0940

buy it, fix it, ride it

hey nice one dude, always liked those seatposts. so, pray tell, what frame is it

mashton Yeah, and you rustled up some scooter-riding hoodies at just the right time, to jemmy that padlock. I like to think that they always follow you, sorting out any little problems and generally making your life easy...

and always ready to do my hair with their hairdryers... yes, it is a pleasing thought

d0cA you also had no idea about that route you took us on through hackney!

i was using the force. i thought it worked nicely. only one fence to climb, and well, noone got killed...

i have no idea what you are talking about ; )

good pics docA - you really captured the spirit of the evening...

and is making that no hands trackstand look pimps

a groupo?

just saw the guy on the blue dolan who was on the last social ride - the one who came off just for cornelius to follow suit. ouhc. anyway, you were riding down kensington high st and staying on. nice one.

dogsballs true, but i've never really seen a top hill climber over 5ft :p

rasmussen was pretty good, soler looks quite tall too, but yeah, in general leave those hills to the diminutive ones

dogsballs note, this dude is like 5ft zero and rides a super lightweight carbon bike ;)

but note flickwg is about 10000ft tall and will just reach over his handlebars from the bottom of the hill, grab the bollards at the top, and haul is way up in a oner

50/50 at the moment, am hoping to, will know for sure by end of the week

Fixedwheelnut Hilary Stone is not too popular in the Veteran Cycle world, a lot of people won't sell stuff to him because he sells it all abroad for profit.

i made my first ever ebay purchase off hilary stone. four years ago. a set of profile bars. who cares

saw dogsballs last night end of beth grn rd. he has clearly got his hat of smeear, and possibly a moustache off him too ;)

oh, and saw badrider and some other guy pushing their bikes (that one off pink number and nice red ellsworth) up grays inn road on saturday afternoon. my bike was parked up as i took in the arsenal man utd game

RPM what you need to do is get a new whitcomb frame, aerospoke wheels, then get the bike built up at BLB whilst buying a penthouse flat through foxtons.

they've sent men into space for less money than that

hey, you missed out the Rapha fixed sock

onemagicru This was put on earlier, and the more I look at it, the more I want it. However, I dont want to pay over the odds. I think the frame could be beautiful, but will need plenty of $$$pend in addition.

Any thoughts??

not being funny onemagicru but that 23.5 is a pretty big frame dude - one for the 6ft+++ers. it is a fine frame though

millierider o and who could forget : )

lol

millierider was in zoo lander..... act's in a lot of bad film's really.

some good ones too. the Life Acquatic with Steve Zissou, Bottle Rocket, Starksy and Hutch (haven't seen that last one actually, as the original series is more my time).

1. chains can make a bit of noise, nothing wrong with that. visibly you shouldn't be able to see any slack in the chain if it is back far enough in your dropouts. however you should be able to move it up and down half an inch or so.

2. headset sounds fine to me. you might want to consider putting something on your top tube to protect it from the bar swinging when carrying it.

if you've had it a couple of months now then worth rolling over to blb and getting them to look over everything. it's good to learn though so make sure you talk to them about what you should be looking for/repairing yourself.

dunno really. i have done too many miles fixed so never really felt the benefit of a good downhill. definitely a few in the peaks but probably none much better than that one on catford hill climb ride.
