cunts with a big petition clipboards and loudhailer getting ridiculous numbers of signatures to abolish the western CC today on portobello rd. Tourists signing etc.

I went for a chat with them and listened to their pitch, then when I said I didn't want to sign I got abused for 'wasting their time' (all of a minute or two).

They had the same old lines of 'people vising their families' 'what about the struggling small businesses' etc etc.

did it with gravity earlier this year. Not technically that challenging as the road itself isn't very steep, just the cliffs off the side. Great fun, but if you're an experienced mountain biker they have lots of other trails that are more 'extreme', but not as spectacular.

thought I'd throw in my comments after having my roll 1 for a couple of months.
It's my first fixed, and like the handling and quick acceleration. it feels heavier than my old roadbikes but dont really mind too much. I assume this is because of the steel frame.

agreed on the rubbish freewheel, I'm using mine fixed now so no problems there.
The stock saddle was binned on day one and i'm not 100% on the handlebars (may replace soon) but everything else is pretty good.
the in-built chain tensioning screws are really nice for getting your chain tight and wheel straight, especially for someone like me who's never had horizontal dropouts before.

overall im pretty impressed with it, yeah some of the componetry is a bit average (standard specialized) but happy with it as an OTP for a reasonable price, and lack of fluoro.
