Need more stainless steel bikes in the world.
Get it into production. If the prices is right it will sell amazing well.
Most people don't even now that stainless steel bikes exist let alone the fact that it lighter and stronger then conventional high tensile steel.

Will there be any stainless bikes? I'm sure there are protype stainless swift hanging about.

Tie a small strap between the rim and down tube.
Job done.
In many shops they use zip tie. For a longer term solution for display purposes.

Very interesting. Massive media spin on rich nimbism.
I would like to read the original though. If u can find it?

There has been a case of investment properties in the Olympic area being sold at a property conference in Singapore advertising that the developemnt has no social/affordable housing. It does make a difference to those arseholes that can.afford them.

A social housing residement that lives in a luxury block called lbc yesterday and explained that as they don't pay the service charge which is £4k minimum they don't have access to gym concierge or communal gardens, this means posh people dogs can walk around quite happily but children of social tenants can not.
On the flip side resentment at people basically getting a luxury flat for free that other have indebted themselves for whilst working hard.
Means that a harmonious community is impossible.

It will also get them massive brownie points with the council . Especially when they sell other lands in future for development.
You have to remember that large property firms plan decades into the future.
I doubt it's an act of kindness.

Many posh residents threatening to move out now that social housing has increased. See y'all later. Don't call me I'll call you.

I can imagine massive disagreements when the business is doing well.
the business is building cash reserve there will be a mix of people some that may feel that they should extract the profits to enhance wages. I private enterprise may increase a yearly bonus but the owner would more then likely bank profits and hopefully that would still be available when things arent going so well ie a recession. Co op is more likely to fail in those times.
May be that just shit economic thought tho.

Looks like these worker owner co operative have not turned out to be very successful.
A little project by the gla back in the day which was fully of people like ken Livingston and Jeremy Corbyn. Socialist project in a capitalist consumerist environment are doomed.
I think it's mainly to do with reinvestment of profits.

Well they seem to have been able to by luxury flats just off high street Kensington for cost price.
Like in east London it appears these council tenants don't have access to any communal facilities and have to use the poor door.
And yet still nimbies and daily mail readers are up in arms.

But in reality mosquito bikes was one of many co operative that were set up in early 80s. Now it's a corporate entity. It makes me feel different about the business. Perhaps it's the only way to survive in more competitive times.
There is no way the staff can be as attached to the business or customer as before. They are now employees.
Hopefully they done well by selling the business.
Thankfully we still have brixton bikes as a successful workers co operative to still go to.

With regards to seat post clamp. Is that same as the brother track bike (swift?)

Amazing lugs.
Saw this on eBay earlier.
Other project on otherwise I'd be interested.
Probably one of last mass produced racing frames built in the UK.

The number are now very sickening.

Within the west Indian community there's strong feeling that the council wants to push them out and get in more lucrative residents. Hence the fire fits in to that theory

U can jail them tho

Conspiracy is now rife. Went to area to help out and discontentment at authorities is massive. Its could easily turn into rioting.
Unfortunately the area is domaninated by the most extreme wealth divide, in possibly the world.

Is this tigged?

Perhaps it people with huge deposits ie from parents or inheritance.
Apparently using buytolet mortgages which don't look at salaries but rental potential.
Mortgage fraud is rife. But much better since the dark days of self certified.
It's crazy they even existed.

Hipster tax..... lol

If your struggling look up pantograph bike parts on Facebook. This guys work is fantastic.

With respect to brands contracting out frame building to the far East, I must say that certain reputable firms such as ora engineering in Taiwan has welding that is amongst the best you'll see any where, no question. That said I'm sure there are loads of awful places, I've seen many aluminium frames snap at the headtube welds.

Glad to hear that.... great bike... can't wait to see you making bags again in the meanwhile I'll make do with the flask.

Hope you've still got the bike commissioned from Rob English
Is the touring kit some your likely to restart when you restart bag making?
Fantastic piece of kit, bike and bags.

For some UK pantographer. Look up pantograph bike parts on Facebook. It's a group and you can message him. His work looks good.
And also pista resistance on Instagram for your polishing needs.
Finally we have a complete UK solution to compete with cyclo retro in Australia.
Should save someone some postage hopefully.
