Peter North rides a fixie?

Welshman, I'm after an E-Lever as well, so let me know if you place an order and we can split the postage.

I'm up for this too. The all black one is teh sex. I need a RH one. Not sure why people have the front brake on the left hand side over here.

Although if coming from overseas the combined cost may get stung with customs unless they are will to mark is as a gift or something.

Here's the difference:

The one I have is the rear in silver. Lemme know if anyone wants it!

HAHAHA quality!!!

how much?

Retail for the set is £60. The front that I am going to use is beefier than the rear one so I dunno. £20 sound about right?

Can this be a front brake with a longer bolt ?

I have absolutely no idea mate. All I know is the rear brake is lighter/smaller/thinner so not sure whether it would be suitable for a front?

Happy to bring it along to the next drinks if you want to check it out.

Brand new Campy veloce skeleton **REAR **brake.

Long shot posting it on this forum, will most likely put it on arsebay.

Fuckin' Jesus! I can't believe any woman on the planet would get turned on my those cunts! I mean look at them, seriously, just look at them!?

I bet this honey digs those dudes:

A rough guide here.

Hmm interesting.

Just grabbed my bike and did that measurement thingy, my fingers are about 0.5cm longer than the bars. Which should suggest my stem length is about right. Maybe it's too low but I have no idea how to adjust it so I'll wait until the next drinks and maybe one of you lads can check out my riding position (ooer).

I'll have to defo come next wednesday and finally meet some of you dudes, I live on the other side of Vic park.

Love the tags to this thread. LOL

Awesome! Thanks fellas, nice one. That's a cool link Tommy, will check it out and see.

It says some bullshit about squatting being wrong.. which off cause is total bullshit :)

Just messin. ;)

shorter stem to have you sitting upright, longer stem = lower body.

Ohhh. So a longer stem means it sticks out further from the bike horizontally. I though a longer stem meant higher.

Maybe I just need to adjust mine higher or something. Or HTFU. Looking at images of track racers, they lean right over and look up so I must just have to get used to it.

It's comfortable for me to ride for the first 20 mins but after that I need to look down every so often to stretch my neck out. Hmmm.

HAHAHA

Ouch:

+1

Shorter stem.

Sorry to hijack ya thread CushT but slightly on topic

My neck is killing me from leaning over and looking up. Should I get a longer stem so I'm sitting further upright or do my neck muscles just need to adapt?

I never got this pain riding my MTB but I was sitting much more upright.

doesn't it mean someone is squatting illegally and they are trying to evict them!?

Ya know what? I think you're right on reading it for the 5th time.

I deserve a:

People will watch anything. Have you seen how popular big brother is?

LOL good point.

Oh man, I would have been all over this like a fat kid on a cupcake but tonight I have plans. DAMN!

D'oh! Get it now

Hehe, took me a couple of reads to figure out WTF was goin' on.

re: Hillbilly, gotta respect a fellow Ranga getting his groove on. haha.

Shinscar, that photo is scary. Which forum member is that so I know who to avoid? :D

Am I missing something, don't get it!?

Nottingham council are evicting themselves from the property. :)

I'm recently back on a bike and I'm aching too. My arse was absolutely killing me to the point where I would have to get off the bike. It's getting used to it now and is not so much of an issue but my neck is killing me from leaning over and looking up all the time. Maybe my neck muscles just need to strengthen.

It makes sense if you're locking your elbows that they hurt. With no suspension on the front the bumps on the road are being transferred from the wheel to the hub to the fork to the bars and finally focussing in your elbows and jarring them.

But meh, pure speculation on my part. HTFU.

I think FGF is rather similar to the flatland/freestyle skateboarding.

Chalk and cheese

The only person left doing it is rodney mullen, and as amazing as it is to look at it perfected, its too specific, and awkward to learn that no - ones properly into it.

Daewon Song?

Please stop comparing FGF to Skateboarding. I'm seriously going to puke. The skill level required to skate like Mullen, Song or any of the pro skaters takes decades of skating every day to get that good. That video the OP posted looks like it took a couple of teens a few months on their summer holiday to perfect.
