I met this guy in the chippy on Wick Rd tonight. Green Bob Jackson. Nice guy we chatted about fixed when he spotted my Panasonic. I think he has lights now.

Thank fuck. I'm sure he's a lovely guy, but the 'what could've happened' kept playing around my head and it had to go SOMEWHERE.

Woah! That's quite a torrent of abuse! Was it a white frame?

I don't quite recall - it happened in about five seconds, was raining quite heavily, and he had no lights, like I said, but I seem to remember hints of green as I shook my fist fruitlessly at his oblivious departing backside...

OK here's one. Spotted on Sunday 10pm, in the rain, travelling East along Homerton High St, no lights, white arrospok on the front, white deep vs on the back, didn't get much of a chance to clock the rest of the components, since you swerved in front of me to turn right without indicating, and that left me with a few pressing matters to attend to - not skidding into the side of the road, into you, or being rear-ended by the cars behind me, and other similar trifles.

Here's a hint, you gigantic syphilitic clunge, that hipster-er-than-thou look you've got going on might be enough to let everyone within a mile know that you're a mindclunking twunt, but it isn't QUITE enough to let other road users know where the FUCK you're planning on cavorting to.

While we're on the subject, doing a flappy little arm wave somewhere near your prolapsed arsehole about ten minutes AFTER you've risked your worthless life and my rather more useful one is of about as much use as your three haircuts in one, you turdchoking shitehawk.

CUNTS.

I'll have a second dibs on that please my good sir.

Nice.

Dibs on 5 and 3 with a 7 if you would - I'll PM. Safe!

I'd give you a tenner for the cranks if you're in London. Safe safe.

Bez. He's unreal.

Who is your girl?

That stuff is fucking astonishing. I've not seen tattoos that good in the UK for many years, since Jo Harrison stopped work. Jesus. I can't believe I've not heard of that guy before.

Think I'll be winding my way up to Sunderland soon. What'd he do for you?

EDIT - she's Tiny Miss Becca - used to work in BB but spending a lot of time up north these days. Good stuff, esp if you're into that very arty two-d oldschool work.

Ooof!

Got an Elvis portrait done back in Gods country (Sunderland) in April on my right hand ribs. I think its 4 sessions of 4 ;(

Oh cool, who's up there? It's not Thou Art is it? My homegirl works there.

If it's your first time you should go all out.

Absolutely agreed. Sounds weird but it's the best advice.

I start my ribs with Duncan next year as well. Ouch.

I feel your pain - he's doing my chest in January. Ouch ouch.

I'm after black and grey family crest (like below). So I figure I'm looking for somebody who can do nice text and maybe ornate religious style work maybe?

If you just want black and white, it might - contrary to what I was saying previously - be worth talking to Mr X at into you - his lettering is so perfectly clean and black, it's astonishing. Best thing to do is head down there and check through their books.

Depends what kind of ink you want - it's just like a bike shop, some specialise in single-speed, some on mountain bikes, some on road racers. It's a bad call to go to an artist known for oldschool colour work if you want a black and white portrait.

What kind of stuff are you after?

Edit - sorry, that's my standard reply to anyone who asks me about my tattoos, just read your post. :D

Do you want it to look thick and colourful? Seems to me that that sort of thing would look good in an oldschool kind of thick needle sort of dealy.

I'd back up White Flower for Into You (I'm getting my chestpiece done there by Duncan X, great artist tho' wouldn't work with your design) - one of the most consistently respected and well-rounded shops in the country.

I'd also say that JJ at Blood Brothers in Holloway would do a good job of that kind of design, since he has a good grasp of subtle colouration. Valerie Vargas at Frith St is doing some incredible work right now too, I think she'd do a good interpretation. Will add more as I think of them.

Don't WHATEVER you do design it yourself tho'. Basis of all bad tattoos, that. If you're getting custom work, let the artist do custom work.

Is it just the frame or the whole bike for sale?

Dibs on the wheelset.

would you be interested in the rims from the charge wheel set(they're white and machined)? i'll be selling mine most probably in a week or two. both totally straight

If matey isn't, I would be. How much were you thinking?

I can do tomorrow morning no problem - just let me know when. Would obviously rather have the rideable one, but jeanmi got in first - I'll see if he can collect tomorrow AM.

This is a really cool thing to do btw, thanks.

Would love one of those front wheels too - would be really useful for me right baout now. Can pick up anytime this weekend. Cheers!

Really?

OK. You were lucky. I'll say £5, and throw in 2 sets of levers. How's that grab ya?

I'll grab that off you if it's still available? Cheers cheers.

Actually, y'know what, fuck it, I'll haev that either way. Can get to Archway tomorrow or weekend if that's cool?

How bent was it? Is it just a bit battered, or is it likely to explode as soon as my 15 stone self starts smashing it around our fine city?

Whites are nice. Shame the blacks don't have colour on the machined bit, would've saved me some bother on my Stealth Plug.

I'm 5"11 and the Medium was way too big for me. Got a small and it's perfect. Woman in the shop said they do tend to come up big.

might have to resort to talking crap to get the postcount up

I agree with this poast.

Are these anyone's? Both got a Brooks saddle, not even mentioned in the ads...

Darwin in full effect. Nice.
