Browns by the herbert art gallery & the council house, not far from the uni.
-
No worries Steve - catch up soon.
P.s. the train back to leam is quick and bike friendly, not sure how late they run tho.
-
p.s. you signed up to work Shambala? Lead the London ride you should.
-
No biters here.
I've been to the Mud Dock shop, but not the food / old bikes bit. It's not far from London or Wales to Bristol... within a single days travel ;)
-
VAN?
You should be riding there...
-
is it far off the south circular?
it's within a single days travel.
-
Well worth a visit if you're ever up that way. Very quirky curator and lots of shiny bikes
some fixies too
and cartoons to entertain you
anyone else from lfgss been there?
-
Oops not done message, will do in a mo. Weather looking cold clear slight breeze - good conditions for the ride.
Updated - message sent to aeronaught, CasaSteve, Down to my last 15p., johnnywbike, Joseph, Malletesta, Manders1301 as others are blocking messages (or still in nursery?), Si can't make it (thumb) and Greg is living the dream down in London.
-

Cool - will do that on both counts.
Ta.

For Thurs thinking of heading to a pub on edge of town... Greyhound at Sutton Stop could be good, but suggest we go a bit longer way there?
-
Got to thinking about places to go... not for this ride, but defo once the light is better for a longer ride:
-
Nice one.
If only there was an easy way to message everyone else. Greg is gone (but not forgotten), Si has a broken thumb, I've messaged Steve but he's gone posh and moved to Leam now so we'll see... there's another 10 peeps in the group and I'm tempted to drop them all a note but seriously cba to write 10 separate notes out. Lazy.
-
ok... 6pm Thurs then. Meet outside Browns (vague method in madness here - will explain on Thurs).
Plenty of lights needed ;)
-
Dibs on the mks straps and fiver put to one side for the large toe clips.
My week is changing, could ride out thurs eve for hour or so at 5 if anyone fancies and the weather is still settled.
-
They're bagged up and on my coffee table - will carry them with me tomorrow as I'm in office Pm so in city centre in the PM. Text me if you're free to grab them at any point 1pm - 2.30pm or then 4ish.
Low bars won't help bad back, so raising them is a good idea.
-
Ok... found them and what I'm hoping is the correct bolts. There was nothing else in my junk box that'd take bolts, so they have to match.
-
Bars as high as makes it comfortable for you. TBH I'd just leave them as they were - you'll get used to them - just adapting to drops as you've never used them until this bike.
Them levers are not designed to go next to the Stem, will 1) look silly (but who cares tho) and 2) be more tricky to use. The levers were originally fitted with cross tops (giving you an extra braking position when your hands are by the stem) - I'll have a dig around and see if I can find the bits I took off- it's just some lever shaped bits and a couple of screws (you'll be able to see where the screw went in).
I'll get back to you if I find them...
-
What sorta advice are you after on bar position? Bring it around here if you like.... cheaper?
Might have to wait until Thurs eve though if you decide to as I've stuff on this week.
-
I look enough of a twat without doing that, walking > scooting.
Bah, Scooting is underrated.
-
Fook 'em. Or just take off the rear brake?
Andy (2 brakes and happy).
