are you allowed to used bullhorns in track racing?

Just get your mum to pay for your repairs, if you were given enough money to get the bike built for you with carbon forks, then I imagine she can afford a pair of forks and a new front wheel for you. You can always pay someone else to do the repairs too.

I don't know what impression you have of me. She won't pay for the repairs you silly sausage :P . I wasn't given any money to build the bike up, I paid for it all (bar the forks) myself, and I got the money from working. The forks were a mega awesome gift from a friend of mine. There is no way I would be able to afford new ones any time soon.
Why would I pay someone else to do the repairs? I can tell you I would enjoy fixing my bike a lot more than getting someone else to do it. Unfortunately I can't fix the forks myself, I think the crack goes straight through the shoulder of the fork, in which case I doubt it can be fixed.

You're giving out about the "nodder" in the fluoro, yet despite his visibility you still managed to crash into him. He was on your right hand side at the junction too so you should have been looking. In that situation it sounds like you were more in the wrong.

He crashed into me, and I'm sorry but in case you haven't noticed light coming of florescent clothing can't penetrate through wooden fences.
It wasn't a junction, it was simply an area that had tarmac over the ground, and there was plenty of room for him to pass through, but he swerved the wrong way, he swerved right instead of the way you're meant to (left, in case you didn't know).

I'd learn how to apply pressure with your hand on the brake lever if I were you. Maybe your parents were right after all in saying the bike was too dangerous for you.

Yeah you're right you see I have no hands so I can't pull the brake lever, and maybe that's why my parents think riding a bike is too dangerous for me. Do you think you could teach me how to use the brake? See I cycle down a massive S-shaped hill road everyday, and I manage to use the brake quite well going down there IMO, but you're obviously a pro braker, so could you teach me?

hilary: i think i'll take no 9.
can you pm me to let me know how much the bars and stem will be together posted and where to pay it to etc. you never seem to get my pm's...

for some reason i was totally calm and reasonable about it. in retrospect i should have chucked his bike under the nearest lorry.

this is exactly how i feel right now. i was livid all day... what is it with nodders and being calm after they fuck you up? maybe it's because we feel sorry for them...

my drawing

(I know it's shit)

Coz you haz brakles

no, i haz 1 brake, coz i iz livin on a big bad hill.

This drawing is really shit,

this shit?

The end.

not the end, because i now
a) need to either get a new fork, or have it repaired and possibly need a new wheel. and i haz no monies atm.
b) need to get the bus tomorrow, which is full of whiny people.
c) can't ride my favouritest bike in tha worldz.

you may not care about your bike, but i do.

I like your pictures atomcf, but they seem to indicate that you are riding on the wrong side of the road.

it's not a real road... just lots of tarmack with no lines.

yeah.

my bike got hurt.

so:

1. don't ride with carbon during commuter hours.
   
2. treat fluorescent coats as if they were exploding horse shit.
   
   

and thanks ed, i feel a little better now...

there's my shit attempt to show what happened

but i didn't want to get crushed.

full a' students

@ fox: yeah, i still need to do that, before my fork cracked today, i managed to hold 40km/h for a bit on 60 gi, when i noticed a student coach thing behind me, those things are scary. i was pretty proud of myself. and it was on the flat.

Oh. Thank you.

So I'm cycling to school today, and I'm about to go round a corner, and this right fluro nodder (mtb/city bike w. fluro jacket) comes round the corner (wooden fence corner, no pavement or nuffing), and comes straight for me, so I go left to avoid him, and he goes right (so the same direction as me), I carry on going left, and he carries on going right, right into the side of me. He falls over, I fall over him, and now my carbon fork is cracked and my wheel buckled. For some reason I was proper chilled and apologized (dunno why) instead of going mental. He went on his way, and I was left there with a fractured fork. Needless to say I am pissed.
The protocol is always avoid others by going to the left, amiright?

I hate fucking nodders!

Anyone else got nodder rants to relieve?

yes ed, precisely, that is exactly where i would ride it.
coz ai laik' would get no street cred if ai laik' rode it on ah track innit. brup.

it obviously needs raisers, and an arrospok.

Holy fucking shit, I almost bought that exact frame at a bike jumble, but because of the lack of braze ons, (and my lack of money to get it repaired) I didn't get, awesome frame though, very beautiful...
Better in real life IMO.

hilary: did you get my pm regarding no. 20?

PM coming

Damn, i want the 172.5... will drop you a pm when I have money again if they're still available.

i've got a basicly nos bianchi, with a groupset (avanti/mirage) which suggests that it is 1995, or around then, but i wondered if anyone could tell a more precise date/model. The serial number is WA8063253A . Or if someone knows where I can find this out, that would be great too.
Cheers

Anyone know about this?

so is it a no-go area?
