smokes? i'll take them if snoops doesn't want em... :)

the geometry on that shouldn't be too slack (unless it's 27"), it's not a tourer...notice lack of any drillings for front or rear racks?

the izumi super toughness is also just a rediculously loud chain. my izumi on dura ace c-ring and cog makes loads of noise, i think it has to do with the interior diameter of the rollers. try an hkk or did, they tend to be a bit quieter.

the stem length is the length from centre of stem bolt to center of clamp area.

i was going to suggest something like this a while back, but thought it might be too much work. would be good though.

front. is about 70-80 percent of your stopping power. back isn't all that necessary, just don't have the brake set too close to the rim so that there is still some variability in the pressure you can apply and you're all good. or run both to be on the safe side and all problems as sorted.

i'm too slow...

Aaahhhh! My eyes!

sorry build, but that ^ is the shirt. wicked. who did that one?

roxy I don't really understand the Build shirt (sorry). I really like how it looks but is it something about being doored? Riding around a car?

i don't quite understand it either, which is kinda why i like it. it's also just visually interesting. except for maybe the grandtheftauto font.

really, people should definitely go to this night. last time was incredible. dale's summation was correct, indefineable = really eclectic and fun. a very good time. everyone go!

big mummy smeear i was promised 'Cutting pink with Knives'

very nice, by far the best yet.

i think we paid deposit + first months rent in advance.

@eeeehhh - what uni is it?

whoops.
cheers for that.
what a brilliant idea.

ihatelaw about his promise:

you have to show that the promise was clear and unequivocal, and that it would be unfair for him to go back on his word. it would help if you could show that you'd acted in reliance on this promise.

you can't sue him to enforce the promise, but if he sues you for rent, you can use the promise as a defence (i.e. the promise is a shield for you, not a sword)

if you had moved out the day he gave you the promise, I think you'd be in the clear, but because he altered his promise shortly afterwards before you'd changed your position, I don't think you could use the earlier promise in Court.

i would not worry about him being a lawyer. It sounds like he's not on top of his game, leaving himself wide open with promises and then alterring them after he reviews the contract (if he was a good lawyer, surely he'd know his own lease contracts backwards and forwards)

so he's got me then, i think. i didn't act on his email, i acted on the words of his wife (which happened a week earlier, and of which i have no proof). his email was more of a reinforcement/arrangement to get the keys back and inspect the property, and was after i had taken action to get a new flat.
how does this third party deposit thing work? i'm really hesitant to withhold my last months rent, i don't want to give the wrong impression to my new landlord...

yeah, unfortunately i think my deposit is with the landlord, as we got this place almost two years ago...
i think i'm gonna play nice for a bit, pay my extra month, collect info, talk to citizens advice/shelter, get a lawyer, and take him to court. anyone know a good civil lawyer? no one should be allowed to get away with shit like this.

yeah, that was dan. riding along all peaceful like, all of a sudden arms and legs everywhere, dan on the ground.

thanks very much guys, i kinda thought that a verbal agreement was binding. and i do have proof, he wrote it in an email.
i've seen the building for shelter before, my wife works right by it, i wondered what it was. i'll go see them tomorrow.
thanks again.

oh, and the other fun part is that he is a lawyer. wheee!

-note- this is long, i apologise, but if you have any knowledge of renting law, please do read on

so i'm having a shit time with my landlord. my lease has a clause in it (i think it's fairly standard) that you can end the lease after eight months if you provide two months prior notice. i want to move. one of my mates used to live next door, and he spoke to the landlord and was allowed to give only 1 month's notice. so i hoped that they would do the same for me, as i've been a very good tenant, always paid on time, etc. so i emailed him a formal letter, asking if i could give one month's notice instead of two, and if so i'd like to give it. he replied saying yes that would be fine, and i also spoke (via phone) to his wife/business partner who also gave me the go ahead, sayng there was no problem and everything was fine. so i found a new flat, paid a holding deposit, and i'm going to sign the lease on saturday. that was a week ago. just this morning i got an email from the landlord, saying that he had looked over the contract and that i now actually had to stick to paying for two month's rent instead of the one that we had agreed upon. so now i have to pay for rent in two flats for two months, which will effectively bankrupt me.

is there anything in this country like a verbal agreement, which is legally binding? is he allowed to go back on his word like this?

the other thing is that he has been a shit landlord all along. i've been in this flat for almost two years, and when i moved in there were a few panes of broken glass. they never got fixed, even though i bugged him about it for months. there was also a leak from the flat above (while i was away) which caused the walls in the toilet and the kitchen to grow mould (which i am very allergic to) and to start peeling, which happened almost 6 months ago. no less than three contractors have ome by to assess the damage, but not one of them has done a thing about it. again, i have repeatedly asked the landlord to fix this, but to no avail. does this make the landlord in breach of contract? can i somehow use this to my advantage, to make him let me break lease one month early (as we had previously agreed)?

thanks for reading this, sorry it was so long, but i'd really appreciate any insight.

yeah, they look very well made. how you getting on with them? they're not laminated, are they?

odge makes some. or used to.
toshi doubles are absolutely brilliant. feels like a second shoe, nice and snug, never slips/stretches.
