it's gear inches for the road, ratio for off-road.
don't ever forget that

dare you tell us how much you paid? was it less than £189? ARGHHH I HAVE NO MONEY

I always ride carefully after i fall off. It passes for common sense in most people but not me.

hippy: 1600 meters or thereabouts.

Oh and for the record my gatorskins (gatorSKIN) was ok for about a week, then got 5 punctures in 4 days before giving up and getting an armadillo. 1 after a couple of days, then 2 on the cambridge ride, and 2 on the way in to college the next day. Maybe i just managed to run over every single sharp object on the road during that time... havent had any trouble with an armadillo so far. Oh except falling off.

And i habitually shove 15 toothbrushes into my mouth and make them into a picture.

I am allowed to though! I'm a damn art student!

I do habitually wear 2 700c wheels as earrings.

chris crash [quote]asm eh its ok. no worse than my face

Have you seen my face? Or my bike? Last time i checked I had a full set of facial features and a complete lack of any aluminium. Or cranks.

Isn;t there one in the window of condor, which has been there for ages? it turned my head, backwards and forwards in the way that is generally associated with "no". :)

eh its ok. no worse than my bike.

19 and three quarters!!!!

bored now, can we stop this? play kerplunk or something?

this morning Jos sitting outside metro smoking a FAAAGG! i walked right past you but was in a hurry, you don't know who i am so didn't say hello.

i can't believe i remembered that i failed o-level maths and ended up with a gcse d when i retook

Or Vaz's bro'll do it... I've been quoted 30 notes for an ovalised head tube repair...

fedex, ups, dhl, parcel force, any local courier company will all do it....google? Yell?

that question may be trivial to such a mega-brain as yourself tynan, but questions like that (and also "can you step into the same river twice?") are a really good way to make kids think. I find it fascinating!

tynan This question (and its variations) is often set up as some kind of deep-seated profundity, but is in fact a trivial mechanical question that relies on equivocation for it's 'mystery'.

I think the real use of that question is that, by evoking a sense of mystery, it provokes thought in providing an answer. What is important is not the answer, but the fact that it makes people think.

i personally wouldn't go any lower unless you plan on doing long distances, you don't say how long you have been riding fixed but i found i could climb better/faster after a few weeks of riding.
don't you find they have to wait for you at the top of the hills?
unless the geared riders are a lot fitter than you? a paddywaggon is possibly heavier than your mates bikes?

£16 quid is cheap as chips, how old is the frame? I'd check the dropout spacing (120-130mm are easy to get hubs for, less than 120 limits your choices fairly severely), and more importantly the seatpost size. There's a chance it might be some stupid size. I guess it doesn't matter if the supplied seatpin is any good though...

It's a fact of life that if you're riding with roadies you're always going to be lagging behind on a fixie, i think. For riding round town (assuming your town is london) 42x16 is fairly nice. could try a 17t sprocket if you find it a bit heavy, would probably be cheaper than a comparable 39t chainring.

£10 a month and they send you the scatfest bonanza yearbook (laminated edition)

your favourite scott c'mon mr smith....what were you EXPECTING to be in 'transvestite today'..?
I reckon you liked it so much that you went off to visit rosie palm and her five sisters...:)

i actually opened the first page and dropped the magazine in horror at the nebulous horrors in front of my eyes.

I think we should just get rid of traffic lights - this removes the problem completely. Leave it up to our initiative to avoid accidents. It would definitely make everyone pay more attention!
