Last night overtook a guy (lycra, ffwd deep sections, aero lid, 40-60 male) coming past Old Vic, neither of us were going fast. Did notice that he hopped on my wheel but thought nothing of it. Rolled through the red light near the obelisk to wait by the roundabout as there were no peds around and it saves quite a bit of time and the guy went absolutely ballistic screaming about RLJ and how he was going to catch me.
I waited around to admit that I couldn't justify the RLJ but that I didn't really appreciate his tone and he blasted past shouting "don't f****** overtake me" and proceeded to jump the next red. By this point I was quite tickled so pulled up next to him at e&c roundabout and got an earful including: "don't talk to me, I'm a fucking nutter" and "I get much too aggressive in these situations". He didn't appreciate my calm and genuine offer to talk about what I assume must be an impending divorce ¯_(ツ)_/¯
He disappeared down towards Walworth and I was wondering 1. Is he on here? 2. Anyone come across him before? In 4 years of central London commuting I've never seen someone go off quite like that!

Just about to get my cdf f&f blasted and powdered, am choosing between Mario and Armourtex but consensus round here seems to be that Mario is the one to go for over new Armourtex. I spoke to them on the phone this morning and they mentioned that they're going to be at London bike show but I was wondering whether this means they're trying to turn it around? Any suggestions welcome!

Prompt payment and general good vibes from @Creek_Tebsin who bought a chainring from me.

NB. Zen chainring sold, now comes with just the Omnium 48T
For sale, a Planet X Pro Carbon Track bike in medium. Relisted after I decided not to sell, then changed my mind again.
Excellent condition apart from some minor cosmetic scratches and only used in the dry. I've ridden her for the last 6 months down at HH and and realised that 1. I haven't got the balls for racing and 2. My housemates have vetoed the buying of another bike until I sell one. Would rather not split but will listen to sensible offers.
Components:
PX Pro Carbon Frame in Medium
PX fork drilled for a brake, uncut steerer
Shimano 105 front brake with clip-on lever for getting to/from the track
Pro Vibe 7s 7075 bars (ugly decals removed) with brand new Boardman tape
Sram Omnium Cranks 165mm (w/ original 48T chainring)
Fizik R7 saddle, excellent condition but doesn't suit me
Halo rims with a Halo Fix-G rear hub, true and smooth
Rubino Vittoria Pro tyres
100mm PX stem
GXP BB with about 900km of dry track use on
16T Velodrome Shop cog£530 for the lot collected from Central London

Yeah, sounds like the chap. In fairness he is fast but wide berth advised!
