I was hoping to be able to come to some of the sessions. Unfortunately the shop doesn't close til 7.
We have had a number of people pick up your cards btw.
I may try and organize a one to one session with you if i can find the time.

I have a spare 22t if anyone wants it for a red stripe or 2.

Good Fun..
Harvey didn't show. Pussy

i will be there just after 7.

i am hoping someone will have my mallets and ball?

i just cant quite understand why, for the sake of £3, this was bought to the internet.
Andrea is a really nice guy. Sometimes misunderstood, sometimes puts things across in a slightly weird way. But deep down, he really does care about cycling and the bikes and products he sells.
Obviously things have to be seen from both sides. What this sounds like is two strong minded individuals not wanting to step down from an argument.

What if this exact scenario had happened elsewhere? not even in another bike shop. Maybe somewhere completely different. Imagine if this happened in Topshop.. would it escalate into a fight? Would the customer get the item cheaper? Probably not.
Would it still be right to post it all over the internet?

Those who think that bike shops make a load of money are mistaken.
Most are 50-100k in the red at any one time.

(Is Mary the fitty red head?)

wednesday is track day!

now we have later evenings, any chance for some mid week games after 6/7?
..some of us work for a living. ;)

Well we woke up in time... and then swiftly fell back to sleep.

it was a nice idea but far too early for a sunday morning.

any photos from it?

Mary and i are hoping to join you all.

That wasn't so bad! I was expecting much worse. Waiting for the results, but i think Harvey and myself didnt do too badly.
Apart from missing the dash. By the time we realised we should have been up there, they were just setting off.

I fully recommend it to anyone looking to get started in some racing. It is deffinatly as friendly a they make out.

Good times! I fondly remember the days of sitting outside Tai buffet shouting to this at potential randoms passing by. We ended up with about 10 or so friends stopping on more than a few occasions.

Chris.. you are missed!

Just found my old small flange record wheelset... going to rebuild on to some ambrosio sprints for next week.

im really looking forward to it all now. slightly nervous though

Harvey will be destroyed.

I know there are a few london players looking for a team.

I had arranged the day off a while ago, but it got misplaced. My boss originally said he could cover but is now off to his mother in laws 80th somehwere in the channel islands.

ideal- if you want, you can borrow my polo rig.

Now has Jol straps and a rear brake.
Seat post is siezed in place. No idea how tall you are. would be Ok for around 5ft10 to 6ft2.
34-22 gearing on 155 cranks.

so i cant find a 14... 48 x 13 too high?
i may just keep the 48 x 15 84". Spin to win

48 x 15
I may stick on a 14t if i can find it.

I am hoping i can just jump right in tomorrow. on fridays i dont finish work until 7, so will miss out on the tutorials.

i was there from about 6 til... what the fuck its dark and i cant see a thing... doing laps, practising the sprints etc.

i didnt realise that the scratch race is 8 laps. i think i managed about 6 at speed.
what kind of times are we talking per lap etc?

Anyone up at the track later?
heading up about 6 or so for a few laps to test out the rig in time for wednesday

well there may be a chance now that i may have to pull out. turns out i may have to work the saturday.

so ideal, nick and toby?

do it!

definitely no splitting

had no luck at Ripley. So its still available

Ok so who wants to join toby and myself for the manchester tournament?
i will be driving up on the friday.

last chance if anyone wants this before the tweed run. happy to bring it up to london bridge/victoria tonight.

Im only planning on doing the 50km. More than likely have work the next morning, plus the guy i have convinced to ride it with me has not ridden any distance before. Recently converted 24inch street/dirt rider to fixed.

Just ordered a shimano dynamo hub for it.

it appears to be working now
