buddha: You weren't doing that down Oxford St around lunchtime were you? I watched someone pedal fixed one-footed west near TCR..

Take info from all sources on board. Add grain of salt.
Stir.
Make of it what you will.
Chocolate mud cake is nice.

I agree with that DK but flashing LEDs are automatically associated with bicycles. e.g. drivers see flashing and know there's a bike up the road and can then do as necessary to avoid them. Optimum solution touted by people is one of each - flashing and fixed.

I like to flash.

I'll be going it alone.. well.. until I find a cruisy bunch to join. I'm not racing this.
You'll see me suffering at the back, calling everyone in front if there's any rotation :)

haha.. yeah and just happens to sleep on trains..

There are time cutoffs, so you need to average more than 20kph or something..
When are we supposed to be called about our entries?

Did Condor's Paris-Galibier have a double crown? I can't find any good images of its front-end.

Pegoretti seem to make 'em: http://bicyclesportshop.com/itemdetails.cfm?catalogId=1&id=7668

the-smiling-buddha Wearing 'lycra' is one of the reason that the public is a bit scathing about 'cyclists' in the first place, lets face it the 'biker' look has been cool for half a century or more, immortalised by Marlon Brando, anything 'cool' about being a cyclist is immediately destroyed by being able to see the outline of ones TODGER.

Work in Soho or Brighton.. the outline of one's todger will get you loads of appreciation! :P

I'd like to be able to make 300k in one day.. :S

Sosenka beat Merckx's record and he wore red. I'm sure if his bike was red too he would've cracked the 50kph mark ;)

Knucklehead Make sure its not a suicide hub. If it is a road hub running a freewheel get him to through in the free wheel fitting tool (if you still want the bike). I think its ok for 300 if its got a proper track hub on the rear, reasonably good tires/chain and all the bearings are in good order. If any of these things are off I'd ask for 20 off the price for each fault.

To put it into perspective, I paid less than £300 for a proper T.I. Raleigh track bike, with Colnago fork swap, including original undrilled fork and bars.
This bike is OVERPRICED.. (and ugly :))

Nope. Light blue. I think the frame geometry was more normal too and I don't recall any spoke cards but I don't recall lots of things...

The KHS is much better than the Argos.. but red is faster..

I'm not talking about selling it on, I'm talking about buying it to own/ride.

"or you could get a langster"

I think I would, actually.

English is Dawes and Battleship Grey :)

babelfish says 'subtle' in French means 'subtle' in English.. now I'm really confuzzed. :P

AARRGRRGHHGRGHHJUUGGLE.. It doesn't quite have the same effect when read off a screen..

What is this word 'subtle' that you speak of? ;)

Damn.. she might actually be dead.. she barely moved! :S

:)

Nah, she's bummed (go on, 'slip in' some innuendo here ;)) about not getting time of in Dec.. which = us not going to Australia for Xmas, etc.
Actually, I'm pretty pissed about that too.
