i'm in, barring any friends inconveniently getting married on that day, as they did last year.

done it geared, so will do it fixed this time. IMO anyone with a few miles in their legs and a hipflask full of HTFU juice will both be capable of doing it and also enjoy it.

BTW - is that the weekend of the start of the tour? could be EPIC

hey all,

won't be around for drinks this week, but trust you'll look after teew well!

elvis - i'll come meet you tuesday if you're going to pp.

leaves the track at 10.

i'd go to avignon on the tgv. plane travel just not worth the risk with a bike...

i was working in cannes in october, took my bike, did the col de la madone on a day off (only took me twice as long as lance!). there were tons of people on the eurostar with bikes, going down to avignon to do ventoux. it was very civilised.

good training ride here

hi adscan.

i have one you can have for free... milremo rim/normandy hub.
it's a bit battered and will require a couple of new spokes at least.

i live in brighton, but i'm up in london quite a lot (eg - tomorrow afternoon), so you could pick it up off me at victoria or london bridge?

for maximum htfu there's two 'advanced' classes on monday eves...

gonna resume next week when i will hopefully be feeling 100% again.

in the meantime, see you on saturday! ;-)

BTW - elvis - last week's route was very flat, you'll be fine fg or ss

nice work!

drop me a line when you're close and we'll slave in from westside

my lbs (baker st bikes in brighton) will order in from roberts on cycle to work, i think.

not that that's what you want (or probably in budget), just that you can get some cool stuff with cycle to work if you get creative..

erm the word on the street is that franco in the full moon is making pizzas. salty but good and a fiver...

bought it. not too bad actually, frames fairly standard modern steel, 105 rear mech & brakes, wheels aren't much cop but will swap them for the dura pair I picked up a while back.

Down tube shifters though, is it much grief to switch to lever sti?

Also looks like I'm finally going to say good by to the fuji, reckon i'll get £120 for frame & fork?

my understanding is that all shimano groupset stuff is interchangeable below dura-ace. so you just have to check whether you have a 9/10/whatever speed cassette and buy a set of the correct sti levers of your preferred shade. then you need some cable guides to attach to the down-tube shifter braze-ons, which is easy peasy.

think this is all correct?

i am doing something similar with the coppi - although with campy, natch. shimano on a coppi would involve chucking binbags of puppies into a river. i couldn't do it, could you?

frame at colour tech ftw!

agreed, but with new nitto stuff, there's also the exchange rate to consider - the yen is 25% more expensive than a year or two ago

fiddlers, yeah, but as i say i don't think they're doing food...

i'll see you at lime and lemonade o clock.

don't think they were doing food mid-week when we last went tho?

Tour de Ville have loads

jurassic park!

i'm liking this tee from them

only when you've done it kelvin...
;-)

anybody know these guys?

http://www.urbanhunter.biz/

do swrve stuff and a good line in caps

seem to be based in hove - strange not to have seen them out on a bike...

adam yauch used to own brooklyn machine works...

lotsa great acts... not sure if i'd call pe or atcq or snoop(?!) old school tho.

personally don't like the colnago-branded orange. just looks a bit wrong not to have merckx written there...

between blue and red then i reckon red - but you've discounted that! ;-)

genius

not been the most productive of days...

not sure if you can go wrong for that little... dunno much about them, but forts seem to be the winter bike of choice round here.

getting ready for a tri, eh!

get well soon mate!

sorry...

tipi for my bumhole?
