If it was my frame I would but don't want to risk fucking up someone else's.
Actually, seeing as it's not mine, might use

Anyone got headset race removal tool i could borrow tomorrow/one night this week?

Haven't got a spare 48 tooth badass or otherwise. SOrry dude.
Bored. Can't wait to get to the pub tonight.
Out of interest is anyine doing hill climb on thursday? and more importantly can anyone beat Leo's time of about 36 minutes set last year?

Dibs if attacksi doesn't want...

Butters. there are plemty of mechanics who'll do this for you.

Drill through the seatpost and rip out with a lever of some description is definitely your best bet.

If you haven't already tried it (before going down the more serious route) have you done the coca cola treatment? Turn the frame upside down, place seatpost in a bowl and pour cola through the bottom bracket area so it falls down to the affected area. Repeat for a few days and oftentimes (esp with steels) the cola will penetrate the rust.

This. Or use plus gas in the same way.

Not going to make it out tonight, sorry dude.

Will hopefully be up a bit later on tonight as I have to rip my flat apart looking for my passport - if I find it I will reward myself with beer and pizza, if not.....who knows :(

Shit! Good luck.
If you do make it up the hill there will be monies awaiting you for the bike. Hopefully see ya later.

Shit Vicky, sorry to hear that. H(eal)TFU soon!
Saadat...TWAT!

Try this again, this time with 24 hours notice:

1830 at the Peasant (south of Angel tube junction of St John St/Percival St N1) for a ride up to the Flask on Tuesday.

As always all welcome.

Won't be joining because...
Up early this morning as early meeting at work. Puncture at claires door. Balls.
Still not repaired ture from one Lyes888 went through on Sunday so going to have to patch. Double balls.
Looking for hole when realise hand pump is proper fucked.
Have to get tube in cycling clothes and cleats. Not a fun morning!!
Now have to go to Queens Park after work to collect bike and repair tube. Will be up the hill after though as will need beer.

Dan, the bike is up and running and ready:

Claira and I won't be out tomorrow, I'm doing some corporate portraiture in Birmingham and won't be back till late and Claira is getting her jabs for Vietnam.

Cheers dude, looks sweet. Will be in contact re when suits for us to collect.

provisional dibs on frame, just need to check my bro is still after a frame. should know in an hour or so if that's ok...

South...

Mind yer language.

Absolutely fine lovely and it will also be for sale* so if she loves it - everyone's a winner :)
*matesratesobvs

Sweet. Sounds like could work well.
Not going to be up the hill tonight but will be in contact soon.

Got a small ladies five speed bike that Claira and I are doing up, sound okay? Is the bank holiday this weekend?

It's the weekend after this one (28th/29th). If it's going to be ready then and it's ok to borrow that would be awesome and definitely beer worthy. J you still get beer for offering the Brompton, just this sounds like this'll be closer to what Claire would hopefully buy in the end.

I think NOT for the summer is a great idea. Though as long as we don't just end up in the SA every month.

Think Norths should always be at the Flask but could do meet up somewhere else for a couple of pints then group ride to the flask. That way still get to see people who don't want to move it & don't end up permanently on tour with no idea what pub we're meant to be at. Could also be good for newcomers instead of compass beers. oh and on nice evenings it's always good to get a few extra miles in!

No.
Brompton could work. Cheers for the offer. Will take up if can't get owt else but would ideally get summat that's going to ride like bike she'd end up getting...

Cheers.
Has Saadat got anything with a freewheel? Claire's got scars from riding Sarah's fixed so don't think she'll be trying that again for a while. Admittedly the fact she was drunk and the bikes too big for her may have contributed to crash but don't think she'd be keen. Will drop him a line.

Has anyone got a bike i could borrow with a freewheel to fit someone 5ft2in or close to (no idea what frame size that would be) on either the saturday or sunday of the bank holiday weekend? Claire is thinking about getting a bike but wants to take one out for the day to see whether she enjoys it first. Obviously would pay for any damage.

Beer for anyone that can help.

Cheers.

Me.
Awesome, will be heading there this evening/tmrw to get me one of those!! Cheers for the heads up

Got a text from the guy making them so pretty sure it's true.

Rumour has it Arvy is in posession of GSIAD tees as of a couple of minutes ago...

Will be picking up tee friday so can also collect others if needed.

In for brekkie and ride. Arvy I'll see you friday to collect and pay for tee.
Geoff, I know how to get to the river but beyone that I avoid if I can. They're ferral much past the south bank.

Where? Might swing by for one en route home.

Not too late, will add you to the order. Re monies, it was £12.20 each based on an order of 20 tees when i got the quotes. Might come down a bit as we have a few more than that now but will get a final figure & invoice later today once the order goes in.
Re payment, will either owe Arvy or me depending on whose card it goes on once got the invoice but will let y'all know soon as we do.

Putting order in later this morning (including one for Norths Dog).

Just spoke to the printers and due to the massive # of bank holidays coming up we need this tomorrow night if possible to avoid paying rush printing fees.
Sorry to hassle y'all but it'll be worth it once done.
Cheers
