Hey, sorry I didn't get back to you before - having a very busy week. Those SR's would be ideal. pm'd.

Still looking for a wheelset people...

Yeah, I'm thinking something along the lines of 50x16, gonna have a tinker with my setup sometime, see what feels good at speed. Can't wait for some empty streets.

I'm naturally lean too, been trying to build some mass but it's pretty hard with the amount of cardio I do, short of perpetual eating :)

Also, since the last Tri, I've gained considerable muscle mass on my arms, and back, and legs, which is going to be interesting.

Arnold?

oh you were speaking to her, huh?

grrr...

sulks over beans on toast.

Turn that frown upside down Mr. Brows - I was speaking to both of you, but yes, I am only doing the cycling bit. The idea of doing the whole would be appealing, but I HATE running with a passion, and whilst I enjoy swimming, my technique sucks and I just end up an air-less mess after a few lengths.

As I understand it you can't do it fixed, but what's the opinion on single speed? The route looks pretty flat, and I can't really be arsed with trying to find a bike to borrow. Plus it would be more fun to do it on Bob.

I don't think I'm going to be doing much prep beyond my normal weekly mileage, but if anyone's doing any longer weekend practice give me a shout. Otherwise say hi on the day - with the team event I take it there's a fair amount of waiting-around in the change-over area (I've never been near a triathlon before :)...

Nice; i'm doing the cycling bit as well now. You plan on doing any specific training for it?

RESURRECTED!!!

So, is anyone doing this this year? A friend of mine is looking for a cyclist for the team event and I'm feeling rather tempted...

As the title suggests, need a fixed wheelset for my pub/it's pissing it down ride. 700c, doesn't matter if they look a bit shitty (that's kind of the point), but do need to be structurally sound.

Similarly some cranks - need to be square taper, 165-170, ideally around about a 50T on the ring but not too bothered.

Can pick up south, central or east (probably even west if it's not too far west), so if you're planning on having a clear-out, give me a shout. Not expecting anything for free, just not looking to spend more than I wouldn't mind getting nicked...

Cheers then!

Anyone know how you'd go about polishing up a pair of 'ginos to look like this? Do you have to strip the original finish first?

If it's all people like this I'll be happy.

Add a bell, high-vis jacket, respro mask and helmet with peak-attachment to that image, and you might be getting a little closer to reality.

English or Italian?

I've always found 34sp.com to be very reliable and helpful...

I imagine you've already considered this, but I had back pain for years and spending some money on a decent matress was the best thing I ever did for it.

Also does anyone know what this font is

It's Gill Sans; favourite of photographers the world over.

If we're going for minimalism it would be a lot less effort just to remove your clothes. Try it in the winter and witness true minimalism.

fixed.

Oh ffs... just spent 10 minutes doing that card sort thing before clocking the date on the original post. Bloody thread bumps.

Cheers!

I'm actually planning on doing this route with some friends over the weekend (forum unrelated I'm afraid). If it goes well I might be up for this next month :)

Can I ask what the stop at Gatwick is like? Is there somewhere specific you're stopping to get food, or is it more of an arbitrary point to pull-over and eat your sarnies?

Good news, 'friends'; after spending literally hours of my employer's time looking for some, I found these:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250306566925

Aparrently they're meant for Harley Davidsons, but they fit Nitto drops PERFECTLY and look ace.

If you're reading this thread in the future and the above link has expired, they're described as 'Smooth Chrome Handlebar Grips End Plugs', and I got them from a seller named Hogparts, store here: http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Hogparts-UK-Ltd

Bumpity!

C'mon, somebody must know where to get some of these, what does everyone else use to plug their hip NJS Nittos? (Other then their cocks).

Had a look last night and the brake is nowhere to be seen. Apologies.

Think I've got an allen-fitting one lying round at home that I bought in error last year. Can have a look this evening if you're interested...

To fit Nitto drops, and actual chrome, not just silver-painted plastic. Anyone have any knocking about / know where I can get some? I've been searching all-over and no joy...

+1 if you are only riding for 15 minutes then it can't be that sweaty.

Means nothing without some indication of distance. 15 minutes is plenty of time to get sweaty if you're going fast enough...

Anyone go to Deviation @ grammaphone last night? Martyn played and was incredible.
