Looks like those MD80s are a good bet for about £15 - there's loads on eBay but it loads of dodgy looking chinese sellers - can anyone reccommend a seller?

I've got an 18-55 VR you can have - barely used as I bought it kit and have been using other lenses

Edit - one of these: http://www.provisualdirect.com/acatalog/Nikon_AF-S_NIKKOR_18-55mm_f_3.5-5.6G_VR_DX.html

£60?

Arrested

Me neither - just bought a Mavic Neptune Mavic neptune from Mosquito for £85 and it's the nuts.

Trust me avoid them!
Agree with the rubber strip coming off instantly but no slipping here. I've had no problems in the wet either. Give Blackburn a call/email they have a lifetime warrenty so should be able to sort you out.

Yeah had no real slipping problem here - bought mine from Chain and after the rear failed a year later they replaced it gratis within a week. Yeah battery life's not great but I just recharge on USB at work.

I'd also like to resurrect Balki's technique of sticking a flashy front light on the bag strap - can anyone reccomend anything other than the cateye?

Rather odd Keynoir deal at BLB: http://www.keynoir.com/london

Aye they're a brilliant idea as the speaker's fucking loud and there's an amber indicator light sticking out of the LHS of the truck right in the eyeline so it's hard to miss.... or so you would think...

Had to have a word with a couple of weapon nodders who were undertaking a left turning cement truck this morning (Cally road x market rd). It was one of those retrofitted ones with mirrors, loads of lights down the left and a fucking loud speaker announcing the left turn.

2 of them sailed down the left - the latter one actually clipped the left corner of the truck then shouted at the driver (who was doing everything right).

Asked the second nodder if he realised how close he was to being squished - absolutely no idea, just said "oh he should have been looking". No understanding when I tried to point out blindspots etc... then he wobbled off through a red.

Older chap, quite normal otherwise, probably a dad...

yeah it's bloody toasty, although the new ones have huge pit vents - thanks to those I wore mine with a sleeveless top mid Oct onwards.

Also, if you ski they're brilliant

It's the ones who actually wait at the edge of zebra crossings and then only cross when you stop that bug me.

If I see them, I'll slow down - aiming to hit the crossing well behind them/after they've crossed, yet still they stand there gaping until I'm 2 feet from them, despite a friendly nod to cross.

Why do they do this? Because other cunting cyclists won't stop.

I've been testing the Condor Unos for the last few months - handbuilt and they ride damn well

is the black dirty harry a leftie or upside down? If a leftie, dibs.

To see if I've been spotted.

I do love this thread

Cos if was locked witha reputable lock but still got stolen, peeps are gonna want to know so they can splash some cash on a newer, tougher one, you dig?

Precisely - it's info like this that's led the community to realise that an Abus Steel-o-flex for example is about as effective as a shoelace.

Ok, two shoelaces, but you get the idea

Usual questions - how was it locked? What with? Where and when?

Posted? I'll have it. PM'd

Absolute fucknuckle on the Essex Rd-Upper St junction - had the full hipster kit: no foot retention, experimental tache, braces and awful riding skills. Managed to wobble into two chaps on motorbikes just as they were taking off from the lights, then sailed through a swarm of peds while RLJing outside Angel tube - do that again and I'll throttle you with your ironic satchel. Cunt

Christ, I really can't use Vimeo - password's HTFU. Promise.

Sweet - never done cross before but I'm down for both

head a few of them sounding off yesterday and I think a chap had one on the bridges ride - not bad.

I however still had my clown horn attached from the Skyride - that gets some attention

Hordes of clueless fuckwits out today as expected - including a chap I unwittingly clouted in the face while indicating left while waiting behing a left turning lorry as he undertook me. Said lorry then took the turn so tightly it clipped the metal railings.

His words of thanks to me: "Oi why'd the fuck did you do that?"

Are you related to Max? If so...condolences

No, why?

Does the lucky fucker look like me?

now it is

Been on here over a year, really should stick something up here...

Not pretty but it does the job - bike's not bad either...
