Don't go to a violent protest, stand at the front, and throw shit at police. end of.

Been to all three. Was like being at a music festival with the police as entertainment. Pathetic.

oh fuck off. The police have a hard enough job as it is without all this shit.

Does he "own" this tribe? I bet they could give a shit which hipster photographs them.
At least the spanish guy hasn't made them look like extras on Lost.

If i bought this i would have to abandon my current project, and transfer all the crappy parts i have over.

Almost considered it, but it wouldn't do the frame justice.. haha

oh god

postman pat

prolly a repost but who cares:

yeah, i doubt he needs a battery pack, and the softbox isn't doing anything.

why aren't we asleep?

The frame is this one..

Found this seatpost in the states, suspect it's an expensive solution though.

I'm beginning to doubt there's even room for a slot and eyes now..

I don't see room for a clamp. Google says this is a very difficult problem to fix.

I imagine i will have to get someone to cut a slot, and braze on two threaded eyes.
hmm

Wrong. Take a look at young aspiring musicians, how many of them will be buying the sheet music to Boyonce, Rhianna & GAGA?
ZERO
They are all still going back to 60s, 70s and 80s musical compositions to learn from.
Hell, the names mentioned will still be looking to older standards to sample for their next 'hits'.
I think the overwheliming majority still understand a good tune. Sadly the it is the marketing depts, money and powers of the majors that appear to have changed what people like. The good stuff doesn't really see the light of day outside of late night specialist shows. Great music is still being made but unless you have the time and the knowledge to seek it, you're stuck with Walsh, Cowel, Cole and Dani.

To say you can't compare older musical forms with those of today is also wrong imo. Listening to stuff of the seventies (a time of deep political strife) gives me far more to cling onto than anything Lil Wayne 'drops'.

Well, actually, the sheet music industry is propped up almost entirely by modern music scores of artists just like the ones you mention, not classics. But that is missing the point, since sheet music is not ubiquitous to making music, at all.

I see your point about society, music doesn't really reflect anything much right now because there isn't really (arguably) as much going on.
But there was still plenty of tripe in previous decades. Overwhelming amounts of pap and smeg. And it turns out that the music that stood the test of time, and became "classic" is often the very stuff that was berated at the time for being talentless noise.

All music is sneered at when it is contemporary, its way more hip to sample something old.

I don't think you can blame the overwhelming majority of people that enjoy shit music on "the man" either. There is plenty more going on than that.

So not all is lost in finding suitable seatpost.

I just noticed this isn't the expanding type. Which mine is. Gutted.
Anyone have one from a scrapped pug build they could sell me?

cut my life into pieces

this is my last resort

i wonder why they use multiple button cells as opposed to regular batteries?

I'm sorry to have a personal attack here but;

you are a fucking fool

you have prooved that I'm on a totally different level with you here

fuck you

I'm leaving this fucking forum

thanks Oliver.

oh egg on my face!

I just stripped the headset down, there are no markings. (edit: what looks like the remains of an "s" on the locknut, matches the stronglight)
"Flat" type roller bearings, black plastic body. The contact surface rings are quite pitted, owing to the grobag of dirt i cleaned out of the casings/cages.

I can make do with keeping this if it turns out to be hard to replace, although the adjustable race and locknut are scratched to shit through someone using grips or something to remove it.

Its a weird one since it has no seals. I might make a small lip for the crown race if i keep it.

cheers!

(edit: measured the width of the hole through the top race, 25.5mm or so consistent with english. phew)

Lightspeed Champion is JLS, is Akon.

Your point about being talentless is fair if there wasn't genuine talent in the world to compare it to. Unfortunately to anyone making music nowadays, if you have ears you'll hear incredible music that made decades ago that was revolutionary, intricate, passionate, sparse, complex, communicative, expressive, honest, sincere, 'rocking', relaxing, depressing, uplifting etc etc etc. The standard is out there, it be nice to hear people trying to do something on a par.

That's all

Another hipster statement.
I don't even particularly like this Lightspeed guy. But your argument irks me because it's predictable and short-sighted.

You can't compare music from the past to the music of today, just to prop up a tired argument about how music was once more significant and valuable than it is now because of some completely static definition of "skill".

Firstly, because as well as being "revolutionary", cultural vessels such as music can also become obsolete and banal. Add RATM on facebook and see for yourself.

Secondly, because the values assigned to music as a whole have changed. We don't just listen to the arrangement and revere the skill of the musicians. We buy the record, watch the video, become part of a movement or culture, we invest much more in music than points for "skill". That is why Ludwig will forever be "that bloke off A Clockwork Orange".

Skill takes on many forms, and whether you like it or not, the definition changes, constantly, along with our culture. Music, and most other aspects of life, would be pretty awful if they didn't.

Ok, i'm in the process now of fizzing out the stem, which i have cut off short and removed with the forks.

I am trying to ascertain whether this is a french standard frame/headset/stem, so i can get the right replacement parts.
This is probably my bike in catalog but most of the parts appear to have been changed.

This link reckons that if my stem measures 22 mm or less, its French, since british ones should be 22.2.

My (much less than precise, no calipers) measurements put my stem at 22mm, but i hope not. I don't want to have to replace the forks/bars. /:

Is there any other telltale sign to let me know if the frame is french standard? I haven't removed the BB yet..

I used one of these for the first time in the snow last friday.

Brilliant! Solid and smooth and comfortable.
