the fork is different (unless it's an upgrade) nice curvy lines, i did notice some kind of mission statement in tiny letters on the inside of the fork, a bit like those wanky bit's of prose on the hidden rapha labels. i wouldn't mind if it said something funny like 'yes it's a cunt of a hill and you are bigger cunt for buying this stupid bike' but it was more along the lines of a motivational poster from the viking office supplies catalogue

the black one to me looked like a classico with modern graphics, a wrongle

2 bikes of interest: the se racing fixed called a lager and poo brown. and a fixed lugged frame made by tange the japanese tubing manufactures obviously using their own tubeset, nice looking and baby blue. i told them about fgss and how we would all be interested in seeing more of the frame, if the price is right it looks better than a surly/bareknuckle/fixie inc.

saw wayne and niiihmbus anyone else who looked vaguely like a forum member i kept well clear of.

Bike jumble! Isn't there one on this weekend?
'Red bike' only cost me £80 at the last Herne Hill jumble, 60s track pedigree and everyfink!

You have to order them, no one seems to keep any stock in NY... My flatmate was out there looking for some last month and came back empty handed...
Check the Phil thread from earlier on... I reckon it's best to order from the Phil website...

flat caps eh?

Pistanator [quote]teenslain Yeah been there, that's just up the street from one of my favourite bars in that part of town... Next time you're there check out Clientele and Supreme on Lafayette... Few cool places in and around Orchard Street too... And ARC/ALife on Rivington... Flight Club NYC on Greene St in NoHo... Endless list, can't wait to get there, takin' a massive empty Samsonite with me! :-D

Yeah mate, been there, done all that! ;-)
Enjoy![/quote]

Ha! Obviously preachin' to the converted! ;-)

Pistanator Anyone been here? Wicked store in the Lower Eastside. All the staff ride fixies, all ex skaters & BMXers

I *love *that store... Friendly folks, great kicks and they do a pretty nifty line in apparel too... Always spend *way *too much money in there...
I'll be there myself in three short weeks... Woot! :-D

just get an izumi or vertex and stop being silly

mine just got lighter with the addition of an easton ec90 carbon post :-)

dogsballs campag BB tool is like £35, stuff that.

4.99, it wasn't made by campag or park tools but it's perfect for the job.

mouse you have a pista don't you? or am i confusing you with somebody else? anyway you don't need a halflink chain with sliding drops

I got my rear Phil direct from the factory... Just put an order in on the website and *specifically *ask them (it was a guy called Mike when I used them) to put a reduced amount on the parcel for customs and to mark it as a business sample (or whatever it is)... Hub arrived in about 3 days... No charges to pay... Awesome...

you got it in one megaman

why does it say lock twice? Will people need 2 locks? :)

he lives under a bridge and eats goats?

word to that ma3k. Black katz are cunts, speaking as a student (and black katz are the biggest letting agency for students in london). And they drive like total pillocks as well. the one who drove us acted like he was on crack (and i wouldn't put it past them).

do you have the miche cranks and bb? i found my bb had worked loose so popped into brixton cycles on my way home and brought the campag bb tool. tightened it up with no problems. i would check the bb as there is no flange on the cups so sometimes they can work loose, worth checking after a year. (you will need a crank puller too)

nimhbus can you get me in if i meet you there?

don't think i can as it's a trade day, i'm going to have to argue with somebody on the door with my press pass and business card as it is, i usually get my pass in the post but i registered too late. (and the strike)

ditto my nitto
shizzle my nizzle

i'm going tomorrow for a quick browse (and to pick up my disk brakes from the importers who are exhibiting)

Jos You need it for your next track meeting?

lol.

I suggest a quick, fixed gear CM around that area, followed by an angry mob to the nearest foxtons.
Then repair to a pub for talks of heroics, and cuntish drivers.
We'll just ride round and round and round. It'll be ace!!!!

they could at least paint a target for me to aim for (with my outstretched fist holding a d-lock)

seeing as this is the current 'i waved and you ignored me' thread.
Jos, it was me saying hi on the Old kent road today i was heading up to grange walk. (you probably dropped stuff off there in the past at larnaca works?)

a list

1. smeear

thanks hovis. I can drop by any time after lunch (am making a cast of edwin's hand and trying to convince him to let me do a full body one of him). Just leave a stack behind the desk - i have id now so i can easily get in anyway.

well it wouldve been if i weren't braking for the zebra crossing (they didnt!) As it happened i just got knocked off at low speed, but that junction seems to be a problem if its (nearly) happened to me twice in 2 days.
