It's a shame I'm a pauper, this is near me and looks super nice. GLWS.

Unless you plan on sticking to BMX speeds you'll need two brakes.

Cogs and lockrings are cheap and simple, I use lifeline.

Not sure about exact length, sorry. It's definitely a fair bit shorter than the front though. My set came with a bag of bolts in different sizes, did you not get that?

I just fitted a set of sram apex on my bike, the calipers are identical front and rear. Just switch the pads.

They shipped in the national police ("guardia civil"). The local police (Mossos d'Esquadra) were ordered to assist them but they mainly stood by or protected voters.

Putting in a good word for the following UK roasters, all consistently excellent:

James Gourmet
Campbell & Syme
Round Hill
Curve
Colonna & Smalls

Thanks for the LHD tips folks. Will mull it over.

I read that article too, and it's in keeping with my experience: the last bits of chicken I bought from Lidl were stinking despite being well within date. Pretty much stopped buying meat from supermarkets after that.

go for 56 or 58 frame size and 44/16 gearing to start (70 gear inches or thereabouts). make sure it's drilled for a rear brake and has mudguard eyelets (though options exist for mudguards without eyelets). Dolan FXE is usually within price range and has all the aforementioned. GL!

dibs topeak bracket, will pay shipping! edit: 2nd dibs bracket :(

Random question: got a flipflop hub and thinking of going fixed again, question is, can I get away with left-hand drive? Pedals are fine as they're super tight, question is will the lockring take the strain? Also are square taper BBs usually symmetrical, AKA will my chainline be OK? Frame's a fuji track '08.

If anyone wants reasons, I'm a lefty and enjoy confusing my friends.

Just a crap lock I guess?

Can't see the pic of the crank anywhere!

Hey, got any pics of the pista crankset? I'm potentially interested in that and the cinelli straps if they're still going. Cheers

Second dibs chainset

Get cheap scales and put them in a transparent ziploc bag.

There's nothing waterproof that's decent higher up the price range until you hit brewista/acaia prices, and even those are not worth the money IMO.

Stunning curves!

This is very good on espresso!

I had a viking as my first ss road bike, I rode the hell out of it but in retrospect it was shit and I wish I had gone for something better right off the bat. Then again I didn't have a clue back then and it was a learning experience.

56cm is a good size for you, keep one eye on the classifieds until something comes up in that size that you like and is within budget.

This morning's commute, I enter a quiet roundabout at speed, car pulls out (fine, he'll just zoom in front), sees me and then STOPS right in the middle of the fucking roundabout. Gave him the two arms out gesture after slamming the brakes and he just shrugged.

Bootloops are scary business, glad you managed to sort it.

Are you using twrp for the recovery? You need to do a wipe then format data.

Dibs on the lever please!

If I wasn't on the other side of the country I'd've had this.

It's acceptable, just about. Only really bothers me if I start comparing to higher-end phones. I have an ipad mini 2 that takes much better pics.

Quick samples from today

The crud mudguards live up to their name btw, got torn off and binned during this ride.
