Just spotted a bromptenger throwing a panicked look over his shoulder while speeding up the bus lane on Theobalds, 100 meters later 2 police officers chasing on foot.

I'll defo take the mudguards if the interested become uninterested.

diggin up an old thread, BUT the Po-po were stopping all cyclists going through this intersection this morning and handing out bike safety leaflets and talking about the dangers of undertaking HGV's. WOW!!

Yup, I got told to get a front brake this morning, agreed and pushed off quick in case he got tickety. The commuters on Kentish town road in the mornings are gung-ho, I steer well clear of them at all times.

I'd defo dibs on a 27 rear if you've got any left? Tyres 700 & 27 too. PMing now.

A girl walking along Hyde Park Gate carrying a wheel in each hand, would've shouted to 'do a skid' but brain too slow.

After deciding everything in Oxfam was too expensive for me today i walked outside and found the sweetest basket sitting atop a trashcan, bout as deep as the one in that picture and longer.
Even better than the photos i got in a skip last week.

I'm a size 10/11 and was using medium cages, just got a large pair and the fit feels much better.
Check those christophe straps occasionally, I was skid stopping behind a taxi last night and the strap on my leading foot (the one that pulls up) snapped. I didn't fall but it could have been a lot worse. I've had them for 8 months though.

Frustration!

This thread is great! Excellent music all round.

wow, my memory is awful sorry, thanks for the link.

Was good to meet a few of you last night, I'm afraid I've forgotten all names though.
Scrapper (i think it was?) what was the name of that park you were talking about?

Hi Dudes, a friend and I are going to try come to your carpark tonight. According to the tags we can look forward to no hands, no teeth teabagging skids, and being laughed at by bmx riders. Sounds fun :)

West Auckland, New Zealand...Hackney...Tufnell Park

Sounds like my bike, I was on Holloway saturday. Lovely day it was too.

My Miche BB worked itself loose a couple of times on the drive side, i just tightened the shit out of it with some plumbers tape on the threads (? i think thats the stuff) and it hasnt moved since.

Hi Scrapper, i sent you a PM after your last post, i'll send another through.

I'm real interested in this too, will PM you Scrapper.

Oops, me too. I've got a LoPro that doesnt take the 650c wheel i've got. So im after a 650c fork to replace what i assume is a fork for a 24" wheel.

Anyone?
Im not looking for anything too flash, just want to get a little front wheel bike running.
Thanks.

I don't think your gonna be able to fit those over your shoulder :)

Sucks about your bike, I've sent picco a message, but you've got second dibs.

Hi all, serial lurker here, I've got an old Falcon that needs a home.
62cm BB to TT. You can have everything thats in this photo.
The problem is the stem seems to be stuck.
The paints scratched to hell and theres a lovely light coating of rust in a lot of places.
I've left the old wheels on in case it needed to be wheeled home or something, however they're totally shot. The handlebars are a little rusty in places, the 52t chainring is a bit wonky, and some of the bearings in the BB look like half moons :)

Anyone fancy swapping a RH black Dirty Harry lever or an ok looking black 27.2 seatpost for a deathtrap? :) I'm in Hackney Central.
