smeear(smeear) what about the tall thin chrome ones that you can get from ikea?????

Hmm.. this.. http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/29291800 Maybe. Don't know the diam. though.

Might just try for a skinnier one and pack it out with a tea-towel.

That's lovely!!

I asked Mosquito and they need to order them in.. so if you want one you better get in quick. I don't know when their next order is but you'll be pushing it for DD.
I'm still looking for a thermos flask that fits into a bottle cage.. anyone? anyone?

Why is that optimistic? That's their 'price' from the Manchester Velo Assoc (or whoever is selling the old track).
They go up from their too. If you want finish line it's £40.
Some people have bought it too and why wouldn't you, if you'd won a national/world title there or raced many times.
Kinda cool I reckon, but never having raced there I'm not gonna buy any.

It's not really a cafe in the traditional sense though.. some cool machinery makes it there. Pity I'm all anti-car now ;)

I got told to shave.. I said I was protesting the dress code and wouldn't shave until I could wear casual... they said 'no'.. I now have a goatee (to go with my pink shirt :P)

Knucklehead Whats the advantage of a Kerin frame over a standard track frame? I thought they where just heavy steal tubed old fashioned track frames really.

You don't see them too often in England and some look kinda sexy. That's about it.

Jeebus.. you lot trying to recreate the Tour de France fixie style?? ;)

Are there any second-hand bike shops in England? In Melbourne there was a place called BicycleRecycle and it was filled to the brim with all manner of bmx, road bikes, full on DH bikes, old track kit, parts, forks, NOS bits, everything!!! Again, it might come down to the fact that bikes here get used until they're scrap whereas in Oz they just get thrown out.

Almost the same as mine but without the maniacal grin..

My place.. after watching Sat's Tour :P

joe_b does anyone have any suggestions for bike lights.
i want those rubber knog things but need bright ones for being on unlit roads.
the bigger version is good but the bastard things run out and you cant replace the
batteries??? i want something quite minimal

Dinotte from http://www.on-one.co.uk. Start saving.

joe_b Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Are you actually hitting pedals? You might find you are a long way off from connecting pedal with ground.
If you are actually hitting pedals I'd suggest altering your cornering style. Lean your body more rather than your bike and/or slow down before the corners more and get your butt out of that saddle and hammer out of them.. criterium stylee..

Save up and buy a Miche crankset. Done.. well except for chainline issues, possible chain width issues, bottom bracket fitting issues, chainring sizes.. ;)

velocity boy The 10 litre bottle is good.

hehe yeah, forgot: "not actual size". Geebuz, the damage I could do with 10L...

Same as last week then. I'm not even gonna pop in to see yaz off. Fsck it. Evil mood today. :>

Shorter cranks. Lean the bike the other way. Don't ride around corners.

Cafe Onik. No atmosphere or character to speak of but the coffee is best I've had from London's rubbish, the staff are nice and the muffins are large.

velocity boy Strange question. But I guess you mean money, I'd accept a Vodka and Soda.

Sweet!
Then I guess my next question is: Which vodka? :)
Suggest: or

What do you want for it?

velocity boy I have a spare Dura-Ace 3/32 17T sprocket as soon as I can get it off my Phils and replace it with the EAI 1/8 17T.
At least, I think it's a 17T. I'll see when I get it off.

I've got a brand spanking Condor 17T 1/8th CNC'd cog.
I fitted it and then wondered why the chain wouldn't go over the teeth. Sometimes I'm such a tw@t!
Did you want to get rid of your 17T?

scott not scot Hehehe....they're a pain in the ass...literally!
can't they post the forks?.....i always rob spacers off my other bikes cos i never have the little things like that....so i've usually got at least two bikes in pieces!

I asked 'em not to coz the shop is not so far away and I might need them for spacers and stuff and I save £6 (although I actually paid postage = d1ck!).
They are my club's bike shop so I really should check 'em out.
I'm not going to touch the Ribble setup because it's working for me.

Maybe.. thing is, I still have to collect the fork, fit it (which means cutting and/or spacers - neither of which I have) AND I still don't have a 3 /32 17T sprocket for the rear AND I've only ridden it twice so doing 200k on a foreign bike isn't my idea of fun.. at this stage I'd prefer the roadie and then maybe the Raleigh.. but then I've got no bottle cages.. Fscking bikes. I'm gonna buy a car and drive there.

Purchased.

Who wants some ITM full carbon forks then? :)
