Want, but that would be 3 cargo bikes which is silly.

This is a great project, really interesting. good luck with it.

sjscycles sell all of them I think

I remember seeing a little CNC machining company (the father/son business where the father was a longstanding cancer sufferer) who make little 9/10 shimano/campag conversion kits.

Cant...remember... the name.

This what you are thinking of

dooks your project sounds great. I've been listening to link wray on repeat recently and this really fits with your ideal sound. I'm also a bassist not in a band at the mo, but I'm also writing up a PhD so have no energy. If you're still looking in a couple of months I could be well up for it.

Ah ace. Drop me a pm and we'll sort it out. My mate has it, but I'm sure a venue meet up will be dandy.

Does anyone fancy my ticket for electric wizard on saturday? Managed to arse up the child care rotas by not putting it in the diary. So not rock n' roll.

Will make amends by going to desert fest the next weekend.

I was in the area yesterday and noticed there was a lot of heavy traffic around. I had no idea this was the reason why. Terrible news, RIP TJ

Any maths geeks geeky enough to hitting this next week?*

*Just me then I guess....

Fancy trying out a rolls, sending a pm

damn you, I now want to buy this

If anyone needs to know, Frog day is going down here

http://www.urbanecology.org.uk/whatson.html

but you knowledge to smash noobs is invaluable

and also worth about half a second per km. Their collective shame makes the air less dense.

I'm out on this. Just realised it's in the day and I'm booked up. Taking the little one to National frog day celebrations. National Frog Day!!! Amazing.

I'd rather the theme tune to Fireman Sam than the theme tune to Chuggington

as a hill it was a big disappoinment, not getting particularly steep at any point and not going on long enough to make you work

Well yes, zone 1 is pretty much flat as a pancake! Maybe coming out of the aldwych underpass is steeper? Someone could go round with a GPS and find zone 1's true steepest street, but it would still be not very steep. I don't have a GPS, so this is being delegated to someone else. :)

Like the person behind you can't see when they're waiting perpendicular to the kerb. Yeah right. It's horrible transient territorialism.

And another thing that's annoying me. Every time I do the early morning book clearing in the Ancient History section, I get fucking Toyah's 'It's A Mystery' going round my head, and then in a piss-poor attempt to block this atrocity, my brain takes the vague chord structure of that song and mutates it into the theme tune from 'Spitting Image'.

Who the fuck is controlling my mind?

"Goes off to plant toyah single in the ancient history section"

This ride looked like great, hope to be playing a part in one of these rides soon. It was nice to hear of many fixed riders, seems like my lack of gears won't be too much of a hindrance. Just need to work out if my lack of fitness will be. Oh and free tuesday evenings.

I bought mine on the hope that they would last twice as long as standard denim. My jeans usually go for around a year before they need patching. Sometimes longer, skinny jeans usually less. If these are going to fail in the same amount of time I won't bother with a second pair.

What do you mean by thread bare? Just wear marks or actual holes? Mine have some crotch wear but the fabric is very much intact.

I'm considering a second pair, but if their life is no better than normal jeans I may just get some normal denim.

Actually the key is to open the door and walk in with your bike. No trouble at all. Bizarre bunjy jumping set up in the quad today though.

Old tag, Percy Circus, where lenin used to live, and possibly on the steepest gradient in zone 1???

New tag is present but not voting

Joint tag with tommmmmmmmmmmmm, with prefect timing after me getting lost.

True about the christiania speed wobble. On building up mine there was a time I didn't have the steering damper, which was frankly quite terrifying.

I kind of wish I had a long john over a trike, but the trike is still great. I can not justify 2 cargo bikes!

I know where this one is and can grab it tomorrow morning if it's still free. I'm guessing it won't though.

I'd check the weight on those cheap cargo bikes. I think the christiania is around 20kg, and they do a lighter one too I think. The cheap christiania versions - not the same as the ones you linked - were around 40kg. Also the christiania frames are actually made in china so these could well be made by the same people.

I agree about the flexiness of the christiania, though it does handle much better when you've got some decent weight in the front. I've heard that the opposite is true for the two wheeled cargo bikes.

These are quite cool. Not sure how they were done
