I'm sure red and green must be available, they don't have all colours in the online store

What size is that Trek?

What this thread needs is more people reading the thread and not understanding why the things in the thread happened and then posting in the thread asking people why the things in the thread happened and then people explaining why the things that happened in the thread happened. That would make this thread better.

PLEASE, guy, stop being such a dick. If it was his bike, and he was selling it to feed his 14 starving children, don't you think he'd be trying to sell it for somewhere near what it was actually worth? This is trolling in the most boring and unentertaining fashion (well, for anyone except you yourself, perhaps)

haha, for a start that was a joke and secondly, i'm not hung up on people being gramatically correct at all times, i just don't like racist comments being thrown around.

oh, missed one while I was replying

i'd say, £60? why didn't you just phone the police?

it's a bleeding forum!! just coz you don't want to discuss it anymore doesn't mean no-one else can!

i honestly believe she should have called the police. i'm no bike thief (honest guv) but i'm sure it's not as easy as just asking a couple of people to sell a bike for £60. the moral minority would tell the guy to fuck off so it would take longer than 5 minutes to shift it (imo). if the police were called and it was stressed that this person was a potential bike thief still in the immediate area, there is a good chance that the police would turn up quicker. if not, at least you've not contributed to his/her crack habit.

But then 'Mr' isn't part of your actual name. That's like if they sent it addressed to Mr and you sent it back saying you prefer to go by the title 'Ace' or something. Which I do btw.

Well Manchester's right next to the Man City ground.. I've never been down there at match-times tho so can't tell if it's a problem

I don't know how something like assault/abh/gbh etc. would work with a car involved, but the standard is just that the victim reasonably feared that they would be assaulted/harmed, so you would theoretically just have to show that your assessment of the driver's motives was reasonable, rather than showing the intent was actually necessarily there. But of course even this may be easier said than done

You are right.
Dawdling with intent / deliberate dawdling / malicious dawdling ( incl. standing in the road )
There should be a law against it.

more peds dawdling on road = drivers being more cautious.

it's pretty much true, traffic fatalies has gone down when they removed the railing that seperate the road from the pavements thus - motorists go faster as there's no need to worry about peds on road, and get surprised when they see them.

random peds walking on road, motorists drove differently as they know that they might get peds on road and thus not get surprised by peds appearing on road.

fuck the jaywalking law, it's defintely not the right way to go to make our city safer.

god I hate the cut of AA t-shirts. I never feel comfortable in them

BEST t-shirts. Perfect fit. I can't understand why no other t-shirt manufacturers, or hell, any kind of clothing manufacturers (other than proper high-end tailoring), can make clothes that relate to the shape of the wearer's body in the way AA stuff does.

Love American Apparel, I do.

You don't get to decide whether you're an hipster or not. Hipsters do.

Heh

Black bike with blue-taped bullhorns & spangly electric blue deep-v's going up past owen's park- nice to see flambullient is coming back in, just in time for my latest updates to 'drop' once exams are done: white-taped airwings + sky-blue deep-v's :D

undibs - they're the same colour as mine! I thought you meant the turqouise-y sea-green kind of ones.

You will surely intimidate the hell out of everyone if you show up at the track with them? I don't quite know why but I really like the idea of it.

Where you're going wrong is assuming 'hipster' is pejorative (which admittedly the whole idea of this thread makes it out to be..)

The idea is having a self-conscious notion of your own personal presentation, I think. It's people who make an effort to stand out as having a different idea of things to 'squares' (yeah!), a kind of aloofness and self-sufficiency not requiring validation from the mainstream. Of course people can try to aspire to this or imitate it, which is where a lot of using hipster as pejorative comes in, people who don't actually get it and end up making themselves look a little foolish. Of course a lot of the rest of it is people feeling alienated or that there's something going on that they're not in on, so they try to belittle it. Of course, (like with, well, like with anything) "the trick is that there is no trick". But you do have to be prepared to put the effort in. And I suppose have an eye for the right kind of things.

For what it's worth, this

is very cool. Also very hip, but definitely in a good way.

It's funny the things people get scared/uncomfortable/defensive about

Just kidding. Why are you so dead set against riding them on the tarck? Saves you having to buy/sell things. But then that is fun sometimes I know.

If LCC want motorbikes out their bus lanes, then cyclists should agree to stick to filtering on teh inside, and get the fuck out of middle of the road.

I think LCC want improved safety for vulnerable road users.. particularly cyclists. I don't think your suggestion would help this tbh.

Also being on this forum presumeably you're a cyclist? Do you stick to filtering on the inside, and stay the fuck out of the middle of the road?

...

Have you considered Cycle Training?

Except that you end up having to readjust the straps for each shoe, IME.

Yeah, cause readjusting a strap (which I don't even have to do - strangely it seems all my shoes are the same size! what are the chances?!) is much harder than DRILLING HOLES IN ALL OF YOUR SHOES AND ATTACHING CLEATS TO THEM. What was I thinking?!...

What colour are the Deep-V's?

I don't remember the roads in leeds being bad at all, certainly better than f'ckin manchester.

I remember looking around for these hubs and being very impressed when I found the on-one/planet x price! Didn't come with a box tho..

i used to do it, but it's a pain if you don't wear the same shoes, had my feet stuck once at traffic lights next to a bus in the schools out time, much to many kids amusement, so.......went clipless

I know this is a super-old quote, but hey, what's the point of merging threads otherwise.

So the reason for not using clips and straps is that they don't work if you wear different kinds of shoes.

Whereas clipless pedals...

If it's got a hole for putting a brake through then you can put a brake through the hole that's for putting a brake through and then it will have a brake

I object to this thread on principle, but when I saw this:
http://www.nytimes.com/slideshow/2011/01/11/dining/20110112-HATS-8.html (on BSNYC)
I had to do something about it. Not even for the guy linked, who just looks pretty ordinary. But:
(his name is "Sam Penix", just to top things off)

You're on 48x16, it's "pretty hilly" round your way and you want to up the gearing?? Fair play to you. If by "compact chainrings" you mean 130BCD when I was looking for one a little while ago the only one I could really find was the Stronglight available here: http://www.ribblecycles.co.uk/sp/road-track-bike/Chainrings-Stronglight-Zicral-Chainring-Track-1-8-130-Black/STROCHRI255 for pretty cheap. Also if you go for a bigger chainring you wouldn't need a new chain, tho it might be nice to get one in any case. I'd say changing the chainring would be easier than changing the freewheel, but I've never tried. You'd have to get one of these: http://www.parktool.com/product/freewheel-remover-5 or similar, and an adjustable/correctly-sized wrench.
And you're quite right, that is a foul looking bike. I see one round Manchester, cheap is definitely the word. But if you like it... :)
