just in the centre, I--r--0--r--I , like that, it made me re-evaluate everything I know. Maybe he was an idiot or maybe the next Graeme Obree, I don't know.

Saw a guy this morning who had put hoods on the centre of his bars, I had to look twice, genuinely disorientating. It was worse than the guys who put their hoods in the 'handgun' position.

Anyone come across this delightful fellow who has seemingly RLJ'd through every light I've been at for the past few weeks between Burgess park and Blackfriars? Saw him on the Veloevo's Tumblr and recognised those cans, tiny bars and general tw@ ensemble. - note him using the 'pavement before RL'J technique employed, genius.

Somebody wearing a lovely flowery helmet and mittens around E&C earlier, on here?

I am lucky enough to be getting an £800 fitness allowance from work, which naturally means bike stuff. I don't need kit and can only buy for myself from a registered company (for expenses). I currently have a Canyon MTB, Cinelli Gazzetta, Mercian King of Mercia and Cannondale Supersix Evo, so don't have space for another entire bike.

Was thinking of upgrading the Cannondale (my best bike), which currently has Campagnolo Zonda Wheels and 105 5700 GS. So, big question is: New GS or WS? or any other suggestions?

If you're based at the Old Street end, you could ask in CycleLab. Chris may have a set he would lend you, I remember he told me he once cut a lock off his own bike after somebody tried to steal it with the 'my lock around your bike' technique.

A motorcyclist cut me and one other up turning right from Goswell Road onto Old Street, within inches of knocking both of us off, I tell him to 'learn how to f***ing drive' (listened back to recording and that was indeed all I said), he pulls alongside me and asks 'was that really necessary?' and starts to berate me for my language!?

Gentleman today wearing Giro Republic shoes on flat pedals with cages. Is this normal/acceptable? They are great looking shoes regardless...

Not so much a spot, but met up @Digger and @Psy earlier, great meeting you guys, thanks for the tips, videos and positive stories!

Dibs bar tape!

After the bike that I built up for my girlfriend was stolen in a burglary I need to build a new one. Got a wheelset, saddle and bars, but looking for frame, seatpost, stem and group set. Haven't got a huge amount to spend and doesn't need to be amazing, but needed for her work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks @dicki going to head up there later and will lock it up if I see it

Pic for above

Not the greatest pic in the world, but you get the jist. After breaking in at midnight yesterday the bastards tried again at 4am, luckily everything was totally secure.

Black Claud Butler Levante, stolen from South Tottenham, drop bars, cannondale saddle, totally unique. Made it for my girlfriend so a real kick in the teeth that some ar**hole stole it after burgling her house. If anybody see's anything resembling it please get in touch.

Hi Guys, after building a bike for my girlfriend a few months ago somebody has just broken in to her house and stolen it. It wasn't the best bike in the world, but as I had taken so long doing it up and adapting it for her, it's a real kick in the teeth that it's been stolen.

I am going to build another and I have a set of wheels, handlebars and saddle that I can use, but now need to look for a frame, groupset, seatpost, tyres and stem to make a new one. 53cm frame needed, haven't got a huge amount of money but can put something towards it or donate kit/services to anybody who can help out.

If anybody see's a black Claud Butler Levante, with drop handlebars, Cannondale saddle and conti gatorskins can you lock up the bike and let me know? Or just push the person riding it into oncoming traffic, it would be much appreciated.

Had some rapscallion throw a load of mud at me earlier next to blackfriars, would have been much angrier if I hadn't been so relieved it wasn't sh*t.

Black Cinelli with flatbars, pulling a very impressive trackstand marathon at the lights heading onto Heygate street near E&C last night, if you're on here, Kudos to you sir.

Charlie from Seabass had his Ted James Design ESB Rear Disc Singlespeed nicked from Camberwell last night, pretty unique, let me know if you see it around - https://41.media.tumblr.com/226e075cf6471ab0df59c068285a7acb/tumblr_npskouw9Sk1tjoj1vo1_1280.jpg

Dan redid a Mercian frame of mine a couple of months ago, amazing job and top bloke too.

Think your pricing might be a bit high, would only cost £285 to get all of this brand new.

The problem is that you never know who knows and who doesn't, seems like this guy was probably a bit overzealous, but it's something I find myself needing to do.

The other day I was heading up blackfriars road and was filtering to get to the ASZ when the guy in front of me stopped underneath a lorry's mirror, forcing me and 6/7 other riders to be in its blind spot. When it was pointed out that he was underneath the mirror he moved on, problem solved. If nobody had said anything it would have probably ended very differently.

Anybody come across this guy before? Was around him from E&C to Clerkenwell Road this morning, saw him RLJ through every light, cutting up everyone around him, genuinely nasty to be near him on the road.

Marco Pantani not guilty of 1999 Giro blood test failure. Shame that all other (overwhelming evidence) points to him still being a cheat though. http://www.thecyclist.co.uk/features/2016/3/14/5i2k9yflc3v4w0afkhacwrjrokbkff

I am upgrading from 105 5700 on my Supersix Evo, so want to stick that on a CAAD10 Frame alongside some wheels I have kicking around. But this sounds potentially interested, how much would you be looking for?
