Wish I had the cash for that Simonchini, love it.

Surely that puts massive strain on your spoke though?

Was Boris brakless? Did anyone shout DO A SKID?

The Fizik seemed to always make one hand really dirty, but not the other, and I got really bad sweaty palms from it.

Recently swapped to Cinelli cork and have just entered a whole new world of comfort. It's like hot lesbian angels are rubbing their naked bodies on my palms.

That clown is definitely not porn, it's hideous. And good luck trying to get that lock around those wheels...

Did you find it next to an unexploded bomb?

I could chew through that front lock on the Colnago.

£20 for a Gold Finger when they're £15 new? I'll give you a tenner for it.

The irony is that once you get past about 57cm you can pick up Keirin frames pretty cheap as none of the locals can ride them (racist).

From where?

If I pedal even half that fast, I end up bouncing all over the place.

You can, but every spoke must be different colour or it won't work

All the advice here is great so far. If you decide to go OTP, you sound like you know what you're doing. If you build yourself, you seem to know about researching everything possible to make sure you get the best deal.

That 14 bike is definitely not the best deal. I've built two pretty decent bikes from scratch and had an absolute blast on them for just over half what that whole bike will cost you.

My hatred for 'spoks and Hed wheels grows by the day.

Ha, I nearly bought that! Went round to have a look at it and offered him way more than you paid for it on ebay.
Stoked you got a good price, stoked I didn't buy it if you can't get the wheels to fit...

That's what trackstanding is for.

Tour de Ville had quite a few on their eBay page not long ago, maybe give them a call?

Lightly grease your post.

Read into that however you wish.

Crispin Glover (I think) heading down Kingsland Rd about 7ish. Would have complimented the Jackson but I was hungry and desperately trying to get to Tesco to buy meat.

Once at said Tesco, someone on an absolutely gorgeous Mercian parking up next to me. See above reason for not saying hello.

I need to get over my shyness and start waving manically at everyone I see who's probably on the forum.

Chequerboard doesn't look good anywhere

put some wheels on it, then kick the tyres.

Don't forget to suck your teeth and say "Ooh, well I don't know if it's worth that much"

I'm so glad it's only half a photo. I've already puked on my cock and wouldn't know where else to puke if I saw the front.

Black Iro, neon green front wheel and Brooks riding down Old St just now with a lady, not sure what bike she was on. Followed leisurely behind you until Hackney Rd.

Girl on black bike, neon and pastel pink Deep wheels (I think), on Well St. Pretty bike and face.

I got a Condor cog and that seemed much quieter than the knackered DuraAce one I had before. Probably just because it was new though.
There's should be a little play up and down with the chain, if it's crazy tight and starts clicking when at it's tightest point, that's too tight. Loosen it up ever so slightly and that'll help. Also make sure your wheel is in straight as if the cog is even at a tiny angle to the chainring, it's going to make some noise.

Someone build a bike based on the Tacoma Bridge

Yeah, Rav is also the hardest person to get hold of as well if you need to chat about somewhere.
I'm in Oslo House in Hackney Wick and there's always spare rooms going in this place, lots of artists and creatives. There's a room going right now in the building, but don't think it's a permanent one.
