you know what i was going to correct that typo but ima just leave it right there

as if you will out-dress mater of ceremonies @Elra

i got a standard reply and then another one saying "we have a distributor in the UK and have toured there annually! You count!" >^.^<

aren't surly based in the US though?

i'm resurrecting (soz) my position of face-painter for this ride so even if it rains you'll all be getting made up. prizes* for those who come in fancy dress or with all hallows gusto, elra and i just got a phat haul in preparation #wow #muchexcite #manyhallow #sospookyride

*probably no prizes. potentially a beer.

i cycle past this so often and have wondered about it. gonna drop in soon, thanks for the info bruce. have you had a service there/do you rate the mechanics?

lovely cream 3rensho on elephant roundabout just now, have met you before but couldn't remember your name i'm sorry! thanks for stopping and helping me with that collision

i predictably threw myself into it and was bloody within ten minutes but a good layer of mud sorted that out no problem. it was scary for me because i've forgotten how to ride anything with gears or brake hoods or flat pedals so i felt wobbly as anything but it was SO MUCH FUN. hard, but worth it

def interested!! cheers @Dom

cheers bud, you too! thai feast safely intact but i was predictably muddy/bloody/sweaty within half an hour anyway, it probably would have added to the ambience

2:30ish and i've got two packets of jam doughnuts #yolo

thanks guys! @clefty you're not going to be at the cx skills session are you?

i'll be getting both knee ditches done at the same time hopefully early next year. that and my stomach/sternum are going to be awful

CB if you're going to actually be on a bike i will come to this, don't think i've ever seen you ride one before. ian do i need to email the guy? #lazee

making OG spfg cameo. see you bitches layda

because i'm a dope i sat on the on one sale for too long and now can't get a M pompetamine or pompino and haven't been able to find a cross check that isn't £££. potentially interested in any sscx bike so hmu if you got something similar you're looking to shift

i never made a thread for my track bike (now fully ridic tarck with 50+cm risers) because it was the slowest build in the universe and i cba but i'm building a winter bike and want some advice.

end goal: comfortable fixed bike with wide clearances, mudguards & and preferably disc brakes or a combo of disc front and canti rear. i'm not really one for fancy ass shit so anything sturdy will do nicely. i'm also averse to spending large chunks of money and would rather build than buy complete but hey if anyone has a pomp in M they don't want any more hmu.

at the moment, pompetamine frame & pompino v4 frameset are the same price. i've been told that 135mm spacing (which i have no experience with) is "fiddly" and "not fiddly at all" to run fixed and tbh that's the only thing putting me off getting the pompetamine which i feel would be a better investment because if i decide to not run it fixed in the future i'm not hindered by 120mm track dropouts. if anyone's got any advice i'd love to hear it, otherwise blah blah pomp build thread

prelim thoughts:

• i know surly do a 135mm fixed rear disc hub, but as i said not familiar with this spacing and wheel consequences or disc brakes and want to learn. it easy to find a complete wheel?
  
• is there some sort of idiot's guide to disc brakes you'd recommend that isn't just googling it?
  
• other recommendations to kaffenback forks? open to crabon options if not $$$$
  
• any good quality but inexpensive if possible sealed components (BB in particular) for winter/sludgey riding ( @±ln(x) i think you mentioned something about this last time i saw you?)
  
  
  

all thoughts welcomed, happy to learn. thank you!

More aubergine dishes than I knew what to do with, amazing hummous and quite possibly the best falafel Ive had in London.

will be joining you on the feeder ride, thanks for organising :)

fanx jess!

i made a cap last year, still have the template for it and a fancy-ass sewing machine - let me know if i can help at all!
