just not in lime green :/ Seb Loeb use to have one of these way back...
Disagree. A Stratos, like a Lamborghini Miura, works best in a mad 70s' colour. The prototype was at Goodwood last summer resplendent in the most intense orange you could imagine.
-
Lancia Stratos. To me it still looks as if it's from the future. Compact, nimble and a damn fine rally-car.

I've got one of these: 1985 Sims 1500 FE (pre metal edges).

Stylish and practical; I'm in love.

Speaking of car - does anyone remember this?
A Porsche/Volkswagen 914, cheap small and look like a lots of fun to drive, pity there's not many of them out there, small mid-engine roadster FTW.
still prefer the beautiful 912 thought;
That's a 914/6, which has the 911 engine in it. That 912 is awesome. It's owned by a black chap in west London I do believe. Amazing patina. I hope it's never restored, just kept in running order.

For all you SLR lovers here's the new SLR Stirling Moss. A tribute to Moss and Jenks' win in the Mille Miglia.

"Royal Parks Police are investigating and have revealed the man was white, possibly in his 30s, about 6 feet tall and of thin build, he had short fair hair, no facial hair and wore Lycra cycling gear in black and grey.
They have also revealed his bike had a white and black Monoc frame."

Track bikes are stupid for doing tricks on. It's just a bunch of hipsters poncing about. If fixed-gear trick bikes take off they'll go to 26" (or 24") wheels, it makes so much more sense.

Often go to the Festival of Speed myself, but prefer the smaller events at places like Shelsley Walsh and Prescott. Next event I'll probably head to will be the Vintage Sports Car Club Winter driving tests at Brooklands on January 11 http://www.vscc.co.uk/vsccweb/events/event.jsp?id=470
Brooklands is well worth a visit if you've never been, they've even got a bicycle museum, alongside the pre-war cars and a Concorde.

Yeah!
If my calculations are correct, when this baby hits eighty-eight miles per hour... you're gonna see some serious shit.haha...that id like to see....

Yeah!
If my calculations are correct, when this baby hits eighty-eight miles per hour... you're gonna see some serious shit.You're gonna need 1.21 Gigawatts though. Where are you going to get them from?

@ Mick - It's a budget thing.
Looking for something:
- British
- late '60s/early '70s
- not too much of a slug
About 6-8K - ideas?
If it has to be British
Mini Cooper
Ford Escort Mk1 or Mk2, RS 2000 or Mexico
MGB GT V8and more obscure, less iconic
TVR 3000m
Clan Crusader
Ginetta G15
Reliant Scimitar
Gilbern Invader - British

I thought Nicole Cooke should've won. And some bloke in the Guardian agrees.

It would be good if you could put something outside to lock your bike to. I locked mine to the stair-case round the corner. A bit hidden away, slightly wary of something being stolen from it.
Wishing you all the best. -
It was known as the Cuntdor before I even picked it up I think :)
How much better does it feel than the Langster? A bit? Lots? Worse?
-
Ok, she's not actually on her bike, but she does stand next to a bike in a few of the shots.

Is it a Bowery? Where are the water-bottle-bits? Does the Bowery have a square chain-stay? Head-tube looks different.
-
and why did it sell so cheap if its titanium?
Only the main tubes are titanium, the rest of it is steel. This is the base model so it's standard cro-mo, nothing fancy.

I like the early/mid 80s U.S. stuff the best: Black Flag, Circle Jerks, Germs, Deadbeats, Husker Du, Angry Samoans, Jerry's Kids, etc. Saw Fugazi at the George Robey in Finsbury Park, they were ok.

Circle Jerks live 1980.

Tifosi Pista, Ridgeback Solo and others added.
Wilier Pista deleted, as no 2009 model is shown, and it seems that retailers are selling off 2008 stock. If Wilier Pistas come back on sale, I'll add them.
If I've missed anything, please let me know. Cheers me dears.
Cycle Surgery do have the 2009 Wilier listed, for £830!

So in short my Olympus E400 (first DSLR) is shit and I need to spend more money.
This is Great News.Cheers to Ed and All for the insight. It was all so much easier with film.
No. It's got a Kodak sensor which gives good natural colours, most of the Olympus types prefer it to the late 420s with the Panasonic sensor, and Olympus make great lenses.
If you've got a smaller sensor you obviously get a greater depth of field, which is useful in many situations such as street photography. Shallow depth of field photography gets very boring, very quickly. Think of a great photograph; i bet it didn't haven't a shallow depth of field. -
Bobbin bikes, islington
Yeah, a female-centric bike shop. And, they've got a website http://www.bobbinbicycles.co.uk/.

Middle-class bullshit.
That poster looks like something Goebbels would have come up with.
