Weird - £150 lo-pro and no feeding frenzy...

Black Rebel, when do you want to play? We want to pick up our three points.

Also, where is your home court?

I fucking hope you did that on purpose...

I hope that wasn't the only mistake you spotted...

As I'm meant to be revising for my ACA Assurance exam, I've obviously been thinking about polo and the league.

How about a mini-competition so that teams can earn some bonus points? Here's the interesting thing though - it would be four a side, with the teams having to poach fourth members. No one would be able to play on two teams, just to stop the better non-league players playing on every team.

12 teams, so you'd have simple elimination to start with, leading to a three team final.

If you go out, you get no points. Out the second round, you get one, third you get two, fourth you get three and the winners get four.

I was thinking about having it as a Christmas special kinda thing. We'd play however many teams could tun up, as these are "bonus" points and if you want a shot at them you've got to turn up.

Then a polo piss up nearby.

Hate to drag up an old thread, but does anyone know what the chainline on the Filmore is actually meant to be? I want to get a polo wheel and it would be convenient to get a hub that has the same chainline as the stock wheel, as I'll be using that to commute with.

I'm leaning towards On One/Formula/etc, but I thought I'd check before I splashed the cash.

Nah, base units only.

I'm bored of photos of this bike/series of bikes.

You want purple cranks. Taste Fail.

Agreed. All this anodising reminds me of MTBing in 1993.

Thread hijack: I've got an old computer (good enough for some word processing/internet), an old case, some bits, etc, lying around if people want them.

Free to a good home.

Anyone know where you can get replacement rubber ear things + metal fence ear wax protector thingy for shures (in London)? I need some.

Don't know if it helps, but I've got loads of the Shure foam bits (although they won't fit the E2/E2c/E2g/i2c/Quietspots) you can have. They are size small and my head head phones gave up the ghost before I'd got through the packet. The product code is PA910s.

Oh, and if some Horatio doesn't want them but someone else does, they are free to a good home.

Hey Scot just had a bit of a question/suggestion. I was wondering if it was possible to make a bag with some padded loops of fabric inside (a bit like the stuff you use for the straps) to hold camera equipment/lens I did a pretty bad drawing but hopefully it'll give you an idea to what I mean.

If it is possible can you let me know how much extra it would be for my bag?

I'd be interested to know how this turns out.

I was thinking about solutions to this problem, but I had thought it would require something similar to a top loader, but which could be attached to the inside front of the bag. I was still worried about it being uncomfortable when the bag was empty.

That picture is freakin' awesome.

Looks good.

That photo of the last open tool box doesn't flatter me at all, which is weird as I'm really good looking in real life.

....i was serious about the soma tyre, if anyone wants it, i'm not gonna bother haggling for a squid here, a dollar there, it's free, and it's brand new condition, perfectly good, it just wasn't a match for my rim. if you can pick it up tomorrow from notting hill, you can have it, or in the week, whatever, wrong thread i know, but this computer cafe pc is soooo slow, it's like turning an ocean liner. ps anyone have a room going spare for 37 year old, lost, emotionally needy, but quiet and clean. pps, the tyre's not linked to the room quandry. Not that i know of anyway.

PM'd

Would these work well as OTP polo bikes?

Starfucker prototype trick bike

I miss elevated chainstay MTBs, glad to see that Starfuckers are bringing the aesthetic back and throwing in a GT style triple triangle for good measure.

Oh, and I mean performance hardtails (Alpinestars, Nikishi, Mantis, Ozone, etc) so people can save themselves the effort of listing Santa Cruz Hecklers, those Decathlon hybrids, etc.

Well, it should mount on the shim fine. If you want to mount it somewhere else, you'll have to shim it out.

Why not use an e-lever? They go on with a bit of WD-40 and effort.

There is a good chance that it'll need a shorter stem (I'm guessing the stretch is a bit too much for the rider at the moment).

I think that - despite the CGI, etc - I'm most surprised that that film doesn't appear to be about how awesome Jesus is.

It's no Biodome though.

Why do you ponce about in a kilt and try and lead your life as a Scot?

Why is it acceptable to say things like this, but not apply the same logic to - say - black people who defend their Jamaican roots (for example)? The Winward was 1948 (I think), so 60 years = 3 generations, which means you've got Jamaican teenagers whose grandparents were born in the UK, but would anyone tell them they're not Jamaican?

I'm not trying to pour gasoline on the fire, I'm just curious about what seems to be a double standard to me.

I fear that natural selection will take its course all to soon in this case....

Yeah, he'll get slapped by a taxi/bendy buss soon enough. The Sun will have a field day, the world will continue to turn.

"My black rims are any colour"

Well it certainly is not a tautological fail. Tautology is using redundant language. Neither 'black' nor 'colour' are redundant in the sentence, although the syntax is incorrect. It is just that you have fallen on the side of the black is not a colour debate. There are an equal and opposite opinion that says it is a colour that emits no light in the visible part of the spectrum.

If you are going to abuse someone its good to be sure of your ground.

A tautology would be to say my black rims are black, but in this case he described one object as having two mutually exclusive properties. So I guess I was looking for pretty much the opposite of "tautology".

Regardless of misusing the word "tautology", my point remains: saying "my black rims are any colour" is no more correct than saying "my blue car is pink" or "that dry towel is wet".

object and seb have got mohicans, they ride bikes. what's the fuckin problem?

And they are both punks. Good for nothing punk-ass bitches, to be precise. Especially Em.

fixies fuck the police! fuck politics! no-fuckin brakes MOTHERFUCKERS!!! fixies rock fixies rule! fuck you man, fuck everyone's momma! clips n' straps! NJS beer fuck skate drugs sex scat fuck shit BRAKELESS!!!! NO FUCKINGGEARSBRAKESWHEELS!!!!

I think those are actually Team Spyder lyrics.

And being punk (i.e. subscribing to the 1977 aesthetic, sound, life style, etc) is only different to people that do historical re-enactments because the people running around dressed as cavaliers, etc, get changed when they go home.

Also, dressing like a cavalier would be way more anti-establishment than perpetuating the Vivien Westwood Spring 1976 collection's aesthetic. Same goes for grunge (although that was Marc Jacobs, not Vivien Westwood) - although Mudhoney deserve a special mention for being so punk it hurts.
