Though I’m really enjoying the wear to my cycling cap, i am wondering if any new ones will be released at some point? Seems like they’ve not been on the site for ages.

Wonder if i should whack an iron repair patch where the old rubbery logo patch used to be or keep it like this

Did a little 50-something KM ride into the Surrey Hills for the Seabass ride about. I tried out a comfy camping setup i.e. a tent instead of a bivvy and some extra casual clothes so I maintain some cool points amongst SE London’s fellow finest bike hipsters. But then stripped all the luggage and mounts off for two days fun riding around the hills with lots of nice people.

I need to make a point of going SW more often. Really great riding there; steep n loose up n downs for days. Reaching into really fun underbiking territory. Good stuff.

That big Shazam and the struts on the bagman really let ya carry some shit.

I met a couple forum guys too who recognised my bike from this silly thread - reveal yourselves!?

Makes you wonder how much nicer life could be if I didn't live in the UK...

ah boy does this thought plague my life daily.

Looks lovely out there. Hope you had as nice a time as it looks!

late to this but here’s a big komoot collection I’ve got
https://www.komoot.com/collection/2211566/-se-off-road

Next time ya gotta come!

lots of brekless guys, maybe 6 out of the 10 but yeah brekless Bridgestone owner is a top guy, he’s been leading these since John went to Aus. Biggest nod goes to brakeless 24inch wheel pursuit bike rider (just in the right edge of that photo) who has done this ride on that bike every year for 10 years. Mental.

They seem to be good enough at slowing me down in fixed mode with the legs pushing too, feel fine, not tried them in SS mode as the sole source of stopping power yet!

haha thanks man.

10 year anniversary next year, anyone is welcome!

Last chance to give me (respectable) lowballs for any of this shit before I have to go to eBay tomorrow

The weekend ride that I was a little frantically sorting this bike out for went really well.

100 mile fixed ride from London to Deal for the 9th edition of john.ma3k’s Deal With It ran by the Fixed Beers guys the past few years.

It was such a good ride, great group of people, just 9 of us in total all in similar enough shape and with reliable enough equipment that we could keep the pace steady and enjoy the empty night roads to then sit down and enjoy the really lovely sunrise at Reculver, which then soon turned to bright morning sunshine as our backdrop for some rolling up n down roads along to Deal.

Didn’t get many photos of the bike but it worked great. Was really spot on timing getting a fixed bike with drops, hoods, and both brakes in the pipeline right at the same time the ride was scheduled. I was a tad nervous going into as I wasn’t sure where my fixed legs were at, having not only that front brake but also the rear was just little extra help/reassurance I needed.

I put bags on for bits, put the Hulsroy cages that will be going in on the Kepler, it weighed a lot, but I could still just about churned it up some hills on a forgiving 48x19 setup. I’m glad I gave into the impulse buy, would really love to do more rides like this.

you’re all legends and the bike community is great, got one from 15 mins up the road 🫡

Bump on this, the chainring I sourced above was a good proof on concept, but I need something a tad bigger and a tad nicer to look at

would love to collect/receive before the weekend despite how unrealistic that is

bought a 48t chainring off here but is actually 135bcd I think

anyway, I’d like to find a 49/48/47t replacement ASAP ready for the weekend.

Can anyone help a fellow out?

I don’t need this stuff collecting dust so if anyone wants to make me a reasonable offer on anything just PM me

Brother Swift

Arkane wheels and DT Swiss wheels

Pics

I need to shift some stuff after buying another bike. Some of it’s been for sale before, all of it should be fairly priced, let me know otherwise.

Ask me for more details pictures if you want.

Collection/meeting in SE possible. Will post.

• Velo Orange Single Ring crankset 170mm, 110bcd, with 44t chainring and Velo Orange bb - this lot came off the bike I just bought, good used condition - £130
  
• Arkane fixed gear wheelset (silver DCR Flirt 23 rims to formula hubs)- bought from here for a kind price, resold at another kind price, really good used condition, front brake track has some wear, rear never used - £150
  
• Salsa Cowchipper silver 46cm flared drops - flared silver gravel bars, usual marks, branding still visible - £30
  
• DT Swiss C1800 Ratchet LN 11spd disc wheelset - these low end wheels have served me well for a bit over a year, 18t ratchet free hub body swapped in, I had the rear hub serviced a month before swapping them out to some new grav wheels, 21mm internal, tubeless taped, they’re cheap but they never let me down - £100
  
• Shimano SPD-SL 105 pedals - used for 576km last summer - £30
  
• Deda Superzero 31.6 250mm carbon seatpost - some marking, logos still in pretty good condition - £25
  
• Brother Swift 54 frameset (headset, Condor silver inline, Hope seatclamp, 120mm ritchey stem) - had this for a good couple years, loved it, but wider tyre life is for me, plenty of little scratches, would make a good lockup bike if you were so inclined or a first fixie maybe??? - £150
  
• Ritchey Classic silver drops 31.8 40 ctc - £15
  
• Road fixed drop bar setup (pro vibe lightweight alu bars, 40ctc, cane creek dummy left hand,SRAM right hand lever, condor tape, cable) - everyone knows road fixed bikes are cool, I’ve now got a twin lever/twinq brake setup so this stuff isn’t needed - £25

• SKS race blade pro XL - used but functional, 28-32mm coverage, good for British summer time - £15
  

last call on that bike box in Herne Hill, will get it into recycling bags at the end of the day

I’ll take the miche 48t, pm coming

breathtaking stuff that!

Minor updates.

• Traded some bread for a beat old black chainring. Sanded the tattered black plastic-y coating off.
  
• Omniums and new bb fitted. fuck it, we ball
  
• Swapped the brown hoods out for black for little less retrogrouch vibes
  

dealio, free coffee for life too… wait i think that’s above my pay grade…

The heart wants what the heart wants, have been looking at this half done bike on the wall, the cranks are a bit too retro for me.

So I’ve been looking into getting the omniums to work. I’ve chatted to a couple Allday/SRAM Omnium users and have deduced two things to help solve my issue:

1) I’ll run a single 2.5mm spacer on the drive side of the BB
2) Omnium crank arm spider and its native 48t chainring are thick. They have their own special wider chainring bolts to fit the two together. I sold some silver omniums with a 49t Sugino 75 chainring to @Nef a while ago and they put them on their Allday. Their chainring bolts sit a lot flusher (see below)

Going to pick up a new BB tomorrow, but does anyone happen to have a 144bcd fixie chainring in the 49-44t range kicking around for sale? Black or silver

Anyone in Londres have something that fits the bill

Black or silver

Not the 48t omnium chainring, the wider bolts are something I’m trying to get away from

hell yeah Nef

still have your Mash Work? post a pic! im looking for drop bar fixie/ss inspo
