second dibs cranks

dibs 'funny' stem (Unknow stem (left) odd size 23.5mm? not sure what this is? Make me an offer?) £5 ?

.

bit of a facepalm there.

Not a huge one though....

the Scrolled L on the forks should mean something to someone? the clover leaf seems to be the 'wrong' shape, even though they have come in various shapes that one is too blobbby, almost not club enough and too much like a pawn brokers sign

[QUOTE=TheCrane;1271962]RIP He Ping Ping

had to rep you just to see his smile ..i like him in the black though looked wicked in his traditional robes.

his feet!!!

Whatever it is it's a very well made frame. the seat clamp detailing is nice, as are the forks, the geometry looks tight too, RIH what make are the back dropouts? are they stamped, they look like columbus?

Where do you keep pulling these babies from?

thats really nice.

Behold ...

that is a thing of beauty...in purest green too.

Sorry, just to clarify they were meant as examples...I wasn't aware if they had sold already.

this ...

is £275...

this is also £275...

I will keep posting these until you admit your bike is a death trap. Life is full of lessons...some of them are hard, and fucking hurt, though hurting is better than getting crushed under a lorry.

for £300...this http://www.lfgss.com/thread39160.html#post1274377

you see....

that is just what we are on about.

it won't fail you when you need it most, ie when a lorry is bearing down on you round an island and your pedal snaps, or the handle bars come off in your hand.

....... its awesome. though the above is Also correct. tighten everything. Also change the headset. and the tires. and change the handlebars........................and and and and ...

and and and and and....we have said all this before...though please, pretty please read this opus to the bottom, and take heed of what everyone else has said.

if you had that same 200 quid...and had the chance to buy a bike from the forum, that you didn't then have to spend money on a bottom bracket, tyres, chain, bearings, wheels, handle bars, stem, headset, saddle, rim tape, cranks, chain ring, .....have I forgotten anything?
So, that makes about £300...and then looking at what you could buy from this site...that was well built, not extremely heavy, didn't creak like a fiddlers elbow, didn't keep breaking down on you, didn't make you look like you had just spent the best part of 300 holes on something terrible, something you didn't have to cover the name up!!!!

would you still recommend anyone to buy one?

that Crumb, is the question?

why buy something you have to hide the damned name on? it's the very antithesis of proudly polishing your bike...it's blamming loads of stickers on it so no one knows you have been duped.

what i find disappointing is that you can get a LOT of bike for 300 quid, you really can.

and one that you will gladly tell people what it is...ie it's a ...... he beamed.

and not ahh, yes...I broke my arse when the front wheel folded on me, very close to killing me if it was slightly further down the road as I would have been under a lorry.

The major factor is they look 'safe' and new and, well... they just aren't, we have all ridden bikes in various states of disrepair, however you know that they are a little dodgy and ride accordingly..ie brake sooner, lean less hard...etc etc etc...

and these bikes lull you into a false sense of security, meaning you are putting yourself in far more danger.

I don't want to sound like an old lady, however I have only ever seen 2 near fatalities in my life and don't ever want to see another. You would be amazed at just how much damage a slow moving bus can do, 20 tonnes of steel clipping your head...bingo..you are fucked...

Crumb, please be careful, check and recheck and either replace everything or sell the fucking thing.

They are fucking death traps.

If you do a search on the number you get some more adverts, all the same name though which suggests he's either really stupid or it's legit..I'll go for stupid.
He's selling a room as well

http://www.gumtree.com/london/35/55360935.html

it has a unipac front wheel...which maybe means the bike might be legit with a stolen spok? just a thought. Ignore that, i just looked the the frame it's quite nice apart from the front wheel...

^ phoney?

unfortunately i think it might have been kosher...whats everyones second opinion? thanks peter thats what I was going on!

..and at a totally bonkers price...thats fucked...

I'm not sure I have the correctly sized attributes for such a career move.
And they're not made of plastic.

they don't need to be plastic, however, you do need to look like a footballers wife, and you do need all that high maintenance fake nails shite, my mate did it there for a while and it was (insert heart to heart voice.....) moider...the girls are biatches too...
you can hostess (ie flog champagne) at other places and not have to look like a chardonnay or chantelle, though...they are harder to find.
Unless you get your bits out, there is no way you will earn anything like 400 quid a week in the boooze/food/ents industry unless you have been doing it for a fucking aeon anyways and already have an established career (ie head waitress smart restuarant=reasonable pay, great tips) ..
that job that paramount listed seemed cool, you need a gig like that other wise bar work is fucking hard and underpaid...

though you knew this when you chucked in your job that was a steady 1500 a month????? wtf???

Without trying to be down on you and yay lets celebrate your new start..etc etc etc...howevr...this is the largest economic shit hole we have ever seen and things are getting really fucking tight... it's a fucking jungle out there lady miss, I kid you not...it's fecking horrible.

if you have spare money and are good with spanners...get a cytech course for about 300 for one week(2-3 days), and officially you are allowed to 'do' bikes....and the bit of paper only cost you the 300...there are loads of places looking at the minute?

alot of people are looking for cytech 3 which involves wheel building, though I would have thought cytech 2 would get you in a few places

rant over good luck!!!!

seconds on pedals, cheers

I'm ambivalent. I don't think I've moaned about her, sorry if I have, It's fortunately possible to opt out of gaga without encountering her in everything.

Middle aged women and their teenage daughters need something to listen to. Good luck to her

You know what is soooo alarming about this argument in general is,..

that you assume these 'people' are so one dimensional, that all they will ever want to listen to is lady gaga...secondly, that somehow you have more to give to the world than a housewife or teenage daughter...

I have to tell you this, everything is born female...and the next 12,000 years of everything will have to acnowledge that.

we live in a world that is a wholly patriarchal system of rule...and it's seen to be okay to poison african babies, by substituting the mothers milk for 'product', thus ensuring the child never nurtures at the mothers breast again. All this to save Nestle a dollars worth of baby formula, this system you speak so highly of...

Needs those house wives and teenage daughters to kick it's merry fucking arse, as presently it stinks,

it's deplorable...

WingedAngel, I think you may be confusing mass marketing for hard work and arrogance for being a "strong woman", but I've only heard 1 song so what do i know.

Again,...exactly the same was said about Madonna...whom incidentally I have no love for...It is hard work...
and like I say...she can acapella and play the piano...very well on both accounts...

though if you don't like it...and want to change that....You need to do something about it and not spend your time moaning about someone elss input.

im whining about what is considered "good music" in the world today

Google bill grundy...

In all fairness, what the fuck? what are you lot moaning about? ...you sound like bill grundy?

You (mostly) are all moaning about a woman who has been catapulted into international diva status in just over 18 months...that is some accolade, she hasn't done it without fucking hard work and having some insight as to whom and what she is...A woman with talent and a sense of humour....she does this with a huge slice of self deprecating humour, and huge irony (considering she is american)...and the balls(!!!) to go one further than most...

ie the kermit outfit....the gloves that are just fingers....the shoe coat...all totally fucking up there own arse fashion creations...all totally over the top and all designed to get a response from those of you that want to give an opinion...oh my god...!!!! she was wearing a shoe as a hat!!! and you wasted your breath and energy by raising an eyebrow...remember kids...they are like clitorises?

The people that have put her on that pedestal...are Women that are between 12-20 and they are the people in on the joke....the joke being that they know full well that she actually can do it, and has proved that time and time again. She can sing, and she can acapella with a piano in front of a crowd of 10,000 people and not fuck it up...youtube it...there are loads of clips that show her doing 'it' and doing it well...

If any of you would like to perform to a crowd even one tenth of that size and not shit rocks...I suggest you all shut up.

Oh and one more thing...pistanator...you sound like you are terrified by strong women...it's a bad look, really...it's a terrible one, try something different...

that joe will be a hell of a frame...check mine out, it must be very similar.

I have to agree with tynan?

what the fuck has it got to do with you?

The banking system and it's cronies are the fucking antichrist personified and you are on their side?

You think that 'bad debt' was created by 'bad' creditors? Do some homework and take off those blinkers? have a look into the federal reserve banking 'conspiracy' I use inverted commas as it isn't a 'conspiracy' its the truth....

scarier than any fiction you would ever read/need

Thanks GAG2!!!...and to blue quinn for the same and the Primmy!! such an ace small frame...nippy as fuck...

I grew up on vincents, and nortons and, and, and , an......

My dad has a 'b' shadow and his brother has a series 'a' comet, and a 'b' shadow too. All in all there are plenty of bikes at my moms, though my favorite is the norton, first overhead cam in the world 1929...490cc...pure bred tt race bike....hhmm...and small enough for me to ride...the vinnie is fecking huge...and heavy...

as you can see it has the spare 'brake' block attached with a piece of blue string...

and yes this is the stock interweb photo, before anyone asks.

And she's about as sexy as one of my turds
