I'm not normally a man for carbon, but having seen it propelled around various tracks at high speed, its a nice looking frame that is.

Symon is a nice fella too, so you can be assured of a hassle free purchase I'm sure.

We'll be sure to boo you as you fly past.

Posted such a shite time last year, shouldn't be too hard to beat..

Same here, although i'm going to stick with what I normally ride or @Tricky_Business will get angry about gearing up at TL again......

Flying 200's tonight........

Support races then? Best way to shift a wedding hangover

Top work on this Sam

Your perseverance to get hold of the results in the first place and your desire for efficient admin can only be applauded.

Of course I wouldn't just say this to get in your good books.......

lack of commitment....

You can help with the prep on Saturday instead then (when I'm at a wedding)

Lots of interest at Track League tonight!

lets get them races full and the rest of you full of decent ale and cracking chicken!

Too late Dan, you'll never be allowed that 3rd claim VCL Jersey now.

Yep thems the ones. They seem to have an interesting history.

My bike is a road bike (attached below, ignore the decals) so no S bend tube shenanigans unfortunately.

Cheers for the old link, I'll see what's what. Reckon I'll have to get some made up though.

Cheers

I've just discovered that my Ti frame is a Clark - Kent.

While searching Clark Kent decals on the internet is amusing and throws up some royally random stuff. I can't find any decals for the frame.

All help, pointers and decals appreciated.

Cheers

Answered my own question - just discovered my frame is a Clark - Kent

I got quite grumpy about that last night I must admit, but the commies/HHV are looking at it.

I also rode like a bage of shite, which didn't help my mood.

I've had this frame for about 3 years now and I have absolutely loved riding it. I bought it off a clubmate who had imported it from the U.S. 5 or so years previously. He bought it as a Serotta Legend Ti and I've always assumed it was.

My curiosity was picqued by the Serotta thread on the Paceline forum so I thought I'd find out a bit more about it,and in doing so, I'm not sure sure it is a Serotta. (I've just been informed it's definetly/probably not)

I don't mind what the frame is, but I would like to know who built it and find out what it's story is.

The album for the bike is here -

https://www.flickr.com/gp/96979340@N04/eo02P5

The measurements are -

1" steerer
HT - 19cm
TT - 60.5cm
ST - 62cm

All measurements are CTT.

The serial number is I1307 and its stamped on the bottom of the drive side drop out.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Si Day on the BCC forum is looking at this too matey, he's looking at a few ways to do it with a group.

He also has another idea about resurrecting the Hell of the North Downs if you're keen?

Ha ha

That's actually happening you know!

We'll be rivalling VCL if we're not careful....

Considering we have sub 150 members we do put a lot out on track :)

No bother, it's just my opinions mostly and I'm sure other will have different advice, as is cyclists nature. But def give Thursday's a bash and see if they suit you. Each to their own and wotnot.

Join the mighty BCC you say? Well email me on club.secretary@brixtoncycles.cc and I'll sort you out of you fancy it, we are all terrible people in reality though...

You can always join as a second claim like @dan has, so as to take advantage of our burgeoning 'elite track & pub' programme (yes I've been slacking on the pub before someone pipes up......quite ashamed actually)

A word of warning though. We do have a rigorous beard inspection policy and procedure run by @hillbilly and the comb over sec @Tricky_Business which is really quite daunting.

It's Derny training in two blocks, which is BRUTAL then race training afterwards.

Generally is much safer and it's a tough session overall. The coaches pull less punches too and the sessions can be more technical. If you need some friendly/less friendly advice you get it.

We went to pub last week after the Derny blocks though and cried into our beer......

I wouldn't bother with inters tbh, Thursday nights is safest (and hardest!) IMO

The C's will always be a bit twitchy, but folk are there to learn. I have noticed that no one tends to take charge in the C's and string it out. All the crashes I've seen in the C's have been caused by bunching/back peddling (I think)

Start doing B's if you feel you've learnt enough in the C's, you'll certainly find it a bit safer and faster

Saw this, and it's delightful owner, at HHV tonight, and although it's well of the beaten track for my tastes, I really do think the stem does the business in person.

Did you get the BB seals sorted in tonight in the end btw?

Was pretty windy but fun as the smaller (and sometimes sketchier) numbers meant we got a 20k A/B scratch in finally.

There was a crash in the C's devil though, which didn't look to pretty for the VCL junior who left with his arm in a sling.

@Dammit brightened up proceedings emensely though with his mighty pink stem, lack of BB seals and a boat load of excuses about why he hadn't done his accreditation yet.

Ah gutted.

Last week was good, big fields again and some punchy races. It feels like this week has come around quickly due to the BH!

Cheers matey, the frames proper Ronseal, makes me smile every time I get her out of the containers.

Even makes Derny training palatable :)

Really enjoying racing this bike this year - I christened it with a maiden win last week and picked up some more B's points last night.

This might just be the best frame I've ever riden :)
