i like my clients today. everything going wrong as well as slowly but hey, everyone seems alright about it. must be the weather.

Nice one Tynan. Ta.

I think I might rattle can the shit grey headset nut...

Yeah it is quill to ahead adapter. Will ahead type spacers fit? Thought they might be too large...

I just basically want to fill that space under the stem as it looks terrible.

Anyone know if you can get (excuse crap non-technical language) spacers for an old style quill headset? Am converting one and need some. Also anyone know if you can you get the top part of the old headset in black with no beveled edges as it looks awful. Ta.

Wiggle are out of stock on something I need.

What other online bike shops do people use?

P.

If anyone has a nice 27.2 carbon seat post give us a shout. Ta.

pj - i may well do. you know how it is...

eyebrows - thanks i'll be in touch

thanks furious.

I have been looking at other forums for but thought it might be also worth posting here as a few people seem to have road bikes. I picked up a cheap small Italian frame on the bay a while back and that's why i am in this pickle. I have now stupidly agreed to build my girlfriend a road bike but a) i don't know how and b) i don't have any tools. I have a good book though.

So I need help and parts.

So far I have frame, bottom bracket and wheels with cassette. Er, anyone got any other cheap but nice road parts to sell?

Oh and anyone know the best way to get the difficult parts fitted. Went in to BLB as its near my office and they wanted £15 for fitting a bottom bracket. Would rather pay someone with the tools a tenner or buy them some beers (in tins).

Anyways, if anyone has any ideas give us a shout or get in touch. Ta.

Er that is actually me.

Edit: Haha... my colleague just explained it. My photo is really dark so it would have made sense... I gave the finger to my ex taking a photo as my dad blew out the candles on his birthday cake...

Yeah I wanted to do the old hackney marsh pitch and putt and then food, pubs and gentlemans establishments but I think that was a non-starter.

We've been through the crack phase...

And I already tried shirking it but thats not happening. Stuck...

So I need to come up with some ideas for my best mates stag do. Needs to be spread over two days and be UK-based. Anyone done anything good stag wise?

Seji mix of Britney Spears. Bangin'.

where can you buy it?

what about one of these...

then you can have one of these...

true true true. it's a good look.

you like the suicide girls? i know one of those haha... she is sweet.

Apparently it was seen at the Taipei Trade Show.

No it has two levers out of the one... Wish I had a scanner.

Was looking at a mag yesterday and saw a picture of a double-sided brake lever for use on fixed wheel bikes to allow you to use either hand to brake. Did google for an image but couldn't find one. Looks pretty tidy though. Apologies if this is already posted.

Horatio - agreed. The city is amazing. And they do know how to have a good time. Hardcore people.

I just returned from Denmark (see attached pictures) and cyclists are seen in a very different light. They get right of way over cars, have parking everywhere and live in a culture where there are so many bikes that a tiny lock on your bike, that is not even attached to anything, will suffice in keeping your bike safe. See attached picture of the bikes outside the main train station in Copenhagen. It was so nice to see. They also have their own part of the road that cant be used by cars or pedestrians. I guess our problem is that a) we don't have the space on the roads and b) cycling is being adapted into our roads (lanes etc...) whereas the Danes have grown up with that being the norm.
