Price drop bump.

I'm not sure we did meet, my user name is misleading (Really i'm Aidan not Dan) sorry for the confusion.

Anyway - the prospect of running joint events with Lea Valley sounds very interesting.

Its your 2-up this week I think. I was meaning to enter but didn't get around to it, instead i've promised to lead our fast club run, which should be equally painful.

Your right, race organising is hard to get into!

I've been half heartedly trying to put on a Club time trial for the last six months. Its a maze of rules and regulations with the ever looming danger of liability and risk assessments. I can't imagine the stress of putting on a road race.

Some way of teaming up old and new organisers would seem like a good idea.

If anyone wants to put on a race and have the know how, there are people at islington cc (my club) who are willing to learn and help but don't have any experience.

The circuit at Hillingdon is a joy to race on. Anyone not sure about bike handling etc would be wise to start racing there - its purpose built and you can tell.

So it does, not sure if that was a cause or effect of the crash. Either way - ouch!

I have an old giant one pm me if your interested

Got a set in my for sale thread. http://www.lfgss.com/thread73222.html

His pedal/shoe strikes the tarmac. There doesn't seem to be any reason to take the corner so tight or to pedal through it.

Good luck.

North Road Hardriders was last weekend. One mistake I made (of many) was wearing too much because the weather wasn't as horrendous as I had thought. I thought it was going to be super cold and wet but was actually pretty mild by the time i started racing.

Would Stockwell Bus Garage make the list?

Also got some here http://www.lfgss.com/thread73222.html
follow the picasa link for pics, could do £80

Currently running 74gi (the same as my road bike) which will obviously need to be increased; an inline seatpost is at the top of the shopping list, followed by something tasty up front and then a Raltech.

Sex robot.

In that case the frame's all yours.

Depend on your attachment to the bike.

Speak to a framebuilder about 'restoring' the bike to how you want it to be, and figure out whether it's worth pouring money in it, or purchase a new frame.

I'm very attached, but i'm not made of money. Thats why I'm deliberating. I've replaced it with a 2nd hand condor i got super cheap for the time being but i don't have room in my flat for a useless frame to just be sitting around.

When you describe it as above.

I thought as much.

Now - what do you do with a dead bike frame?

My Graham Weigh (Reynolds 531) frame snapped the other day. Its 15 years old and heavily used. The threads are damaged/stripped on lots of the braze-ons, its been resprayed once but the paint is in bad shape again. There is much rust.

How do you decide when a frame isn't worth repairing/restoring anymore?

I got mine from bike-discount.com who have lots to choose from:

It's virtually brand new after a warranty replacement and i'm considering parting with it as its not a great fit on my new frame.

Blimey - never occurred to me LFGSS would have a specific 'Jonathan Meades' thread.

Must UTFS etc etc

He's very funny, basically lectures at you for an hour through a fog of sarcasm and exaggerated distain for everything.

Sometimes when you watch documentaries on subject you know well they are limited and over simplified. I'm not an expert on this so maybe i'm not best placed to say but it seems to be better informed than a lot of BBC docs. I don't agree with everything he says in it but its well worth watching.

On the iPlayer at the moment:

Bunkers, Brutalism and Bloodymindedness: Concrete Poetry with Jonathan Meades

Very entertaining, moderately controversial brutalist architecture documentary.

And even more stuff added

Tester, i think this thread is in need of your T3 and its predecessor if i'm not mistaken.

weird, it appeared to embed for me at first, presumably the forum secretly changes large images to links after you embed them.

worth embedding no?
