turpe [quote]atomic.a No it wasn't nepotism, he was approached and asked to do it because of some of the writing he has done on the TV program Skins.
I hate getting into arguments with people on the internet but, if you really, truly believe that he was approached purely on the basis of his having worked on 'Skins' (which, by all accounts, is basically 'Hollyoaks', but with naughty words in a desperate effort to be 'cool') and that the fact that his father works as a travel writer for The Grauniad is completely coincidental, then......really?
(edited, as I left out the rather important 'is purely coincidental' part the first time round)[/quote]
Insert into pipe, light, sit back and smoke I think?

mightyMouse [quote]Ricky If I were you I would give the Boys at Putney Cycles a call. Seen some lovely looking Bobs come out of there recently. What is the worst that could happen? Half an hour chatting over bottom brackets to Simon and Dave is not so bad.
Wayne you got any pictures of Mark's new one? Bike that is.
I have heard this bike this the shizz-nit. Black with matte black decals & barbers pole? Yum.[/quote]
Does look the business, I'll see if I can take some picks next time I see him and put them -

I was once walking past QPR's ground when they were playing Fulham, There were a group of lads knocking 7 shades out of each other when the police turned up on their horses. One of them turned on the police waving his fists and a policeman walked his horse towards him and pinned him by his chest against a van. He was still trying to punch and kick the horse while the other rozzers casually walked up and nicked him and put him in a van. He was still shouting at the horse as he was carried off, prick, First half was scary but the second half was funny to watch.

Sorry should have said I have a front brake, I'm not a total loon.
Thanks for the tips they seem to be generally to lean further forward, get some of the weight off the back wheel and get some bigger balls and go a bit faster. I'll read the other threads too.
I don't ride faster than I can reasonably stop it's just in case some fool in a 4x4 pulls out in front with no warning.

Hi all I'm still fairly new to contributing to the board although have been enjoying it for quite a bit. Bit of background before my question so you know where I can coming from. Until fairly recently I rode mostly single speeds but now have thrown away the rear brake, finally flipped the flop and graduated to full fixed. Just recently bought rg37's Bob Jackson off him and am loving it - there are some picks up on his thread. Don't know why it took me so long to make the switch but so glad I have.
This might be bit of a newbie question (sorry) but I please bear with me...
Is there a technique to emergency breaking by locking the back wheel without dislocating both hips? I ride every/most days and I am now ridding at speeds close to when I had two brakes but am aware my current stopping distance is not as short as it could be. I have tried breaking hard (at low speeds) but just can't seem to get it right. Is it just a case of practice makes perfect or is there something I am doing wrong?
Thanks in advance

addie How much do you want for that (assuming it's open to bidding/enquiries) and what are the details?
I do love those 'Dales.
Not Dale, mind. 'Dales.
And not the Yorkshire ones either. Note the apostrophe.Hi Addie, yes it is for sale, although I am just waiting to hear from someone else who got in first, the size is 56cm from centre of bottom Bracket to top of the top tube. Will let you know as soon as I do.
I also have some wheels going too if your interested, I can post some pics (of the wheels) if you like.
