If someone is willing to cross boarders with me in their car/van boot i can afford it. UKBA only hate people sneaking into the country right?

^^ nice ride. Just upgraded from 25c slicks to 35c cross tyres, too much fun.

7075 Shafts, 5 Euro + postage, who's interested?

Courtest of Rik on the London forum (although I think he lives in Berlin, which explains the pricing). I've asked him for a rough idea of postage costs for 10-15 shafts. I don't know anything about the quality, other than that they're 1mm wall thickness and 7075 grade, so should be nice and light. 5 Euros is cheaper than chips though, and they should be nicely light and at that price it's worth a punt. He has a good reputation for making stuff (mallets, heads, brake levers etc).

Is there anyone out there still looking for pipe? we only need one more person
How much is it per meter? I might be in, however broke til the end of the month.

It was so cold this morning (-8) condensation from my breath froze to my beard...

Ehpbc is not the only possibility to play against very good teams in europe...

This is true. However lots of those tournament spaces go in hours (Greif Masters - not even half an hour!?) Ehbpc are usually around the same time every year which allows you to plan and build interest too (time off work and expense).

There are always going to be issues regardless of which format you choose. Just as London could say 'why should a valuable spot to a lesser regional polo team', I could say 'why give a spot to Budapest or Toulouse, we could easily beat them', but surely the arena for that is the polo court.
Scotland and Wales are different countries? Should they have their own allocation?
Munchen Mo has said that they sometimes struggle to get games during the week and yet they had three spots last year.

Ehbpc should be about seeing who the best team(s) in europe is, but would anyone say they were disappointed by tournament standards so far? From what I have seen ehbpc are fucking amazing.

This year -
Manchester:2
Cambridge:1
London:4
Birmingham:1
Oxford:1 (No show - Could this spot go to London or another regional team)

The current format seemed to work really well in the case of euros 2010. I think the diversity of teams has really helped to grow the sport, which can only be a positive thing.
If we try to 'open' it up by allowing NA or everywhere to enter it will in fact narrow the scope by removing the opportunity for people in europe to play each other, which is why we have them?

Much younger scenes (like the rest of the uk - i live in brum) have improved drastically by playing older team such as in london and europe, and through this have created some challenging opposition in the past couple of euros/tournies - netto, fen boy!? If country selection were to take priority and (hypothetically) london take most/all the slots then wouldn't you be removing that progress and diversity, potentially creating a bigger imbalance with the rest of the uk?

Can't make this weekend. So pleased polo is kicking off.
Here is a photo of the 2nd or 3rd ever polo day in brum when we used golf clubs, tennis balls and tiny shatterable tubing wrapped in gaffer tape!
*notice there is a) a woman and b) mr pastry himself ( i remember fix up look sharp, those were the days...drifts off into rose tinted nostalgia)

I'm in for beers. Don't mind where (but am a fan of the spotted dog).
Best poster ever, ms paint?

The description says mountain bike but it's a ss/fg freestyler and there is no mention of the brooks saddle (which you would to bump the price non?) - anyone else missing a bike?
In the Birmingham area. Let me know if people recognise it.

^ nice one! We'll have a chat with council peeps/sustrans see if we can get some favours (money for barriers etc?)

In other news... i know it's london but i want to encourage more women to play - http://www.lfgss.com/thread55586.html#post1798148

I worked through the snow last year and only didn't come off once. Drivers on the other hand... people shunting and smashing each other left, right, and center and had a car sliding backwards down a hill at 45 degrees! Pedestrian too, I saw a group of five schoolgirls all linked arms stack it and domino on the ice -awesome.
Be prepared for less than capable driving.

^ we've got a nice road bike at the Bike Foundry - Concorde:- seat tube 54ish, top tube 55ish, 21speed i think. £135.

Update: A dodgy friend of the people who live at the house was heard bragging about taking a bike and selling it for **£20!!! **Peeps are trying to get hold of the new persons number.

Hello...
http://birmingham.gumtree.com/birmingham/99/68584699.html

I will do, just waiting til I've got the time. Someone saw him/half recognised him - not sure who he knows - but i'm not holding much hope.
Frame was locked to front wheel in the front of the house with a loads of other bikes, my friends leave with theirs, 15 mins later my bike is gone around 4am.
Reported it too, if it was dumped i'd hope a bike with a massive lock on it would be handed in...

Cheers guys, it's really fucking annoying as my lights and mudguards were on it too.
I think i'm going to make up a hack bike asap.
