Ahhh, tell a lie, it's their new 'Stadio' which is SS specific.

mmmmmmmmm

S'beautiful and I am very jealous. That is a Condor road frame, isn't it? Did they put track drops in it for you?

How fast can you make it go?

I just picked up the 2007 Wilier LAvaredo which has been reduced from £1250 to £999 in CycleSurgery. I haven't actually ridden it yet, due to a fucked elbow, but it does look pretty.

(admittedly, Tommy(TheBrick) called it the ¨ghayest bike evah¨ but I THINK he was joking.)

Or, go to Planet X and get their full Carbon with Dura Ace shifty bits for £999. I would ahve but they don't play well with Halfords Cycle2Work scheme.

Oh dear God, I SOOOOOOOO hope that Torpid Construct is not mentally or physically disabled, because if he is then we may be in a whole world of pain after VB's picture post.

Obviously, I hope he isn't anyway...

Damn, this sounds fun - plus Milton beer. I went to a friend's birthday t'other day in Cambridge and he has a keg of their Dyonisus. Sublime stuff.

Is anyone I know going? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Anyone?

BTW, if you still think that I was rude to you, then please feel free to PM me and point it out (no need to extend this thread (EDIT from 'threat' - freudian slip?) with insult post-mortems). Perhaps I need to wake up to latent offensiveness in the way I post?

Hi Torpid,

I am also a fan of being nice, I really am. As you may have seen in other threads (the cornering /pedal strike one) I sometimes agree with people, including you :-)

In this thread I didn't agree with one of your points, but I did not intend to be rude in my response to you. I am genuinely sorry if my comment sounded arrogant or flippant.

Obviously, later in the thread I was rude to you, I felt justified in being so, because of your behaviour towards me, particularly with regard to my recent, serious injury.

I am totally happy to let bygones be bygones and chat in a sensible manner about all sorts of things, including gyroscopic theory!

I must admit to not sympathising with your stubborness that drives you to 'deal with those that think they can oppress you', but each to their own. I'm sure you have no intention of actually being violent, anti-social or unduly threatening?

Regards,

mashton

Yorgo, flying along Theobalds road at about 6 30 yesterday. You made it look like the flouro commuter brigade were standing still - chapeau sir.

go on hippy, it looks awesome.

Remember the piss poor reaction we got last year, trying to organize this? This place has changed!

By the way, one thing I have done in response to this thread is take my number down from the phone number thread. It saddens me that I had to do that, but there it is :-(

I'm digging Speedplay frogs at the moment - I have knee trouble and they have the most rotational float, with no spring loaded autocentering. Also, the pedals are black and match my frame ;-0

Unfortunately, the cost about one megabuck.

EDIT - Woo Hoo, this is my 1000th post.

What happens if a Rollapaluza CC member claims the Rollapaluza CC membership prize? Do they get upgraded to platinum status with complimentary post-roller race massages from Winspar or something?

I can actually hear you drool as you type this.

For me, it makes me glad that I won't be racing - I always get erections when massaged...

and an almost unmanageably high IQ that puts me in a minority of 0.2%, but life goes on doesn't it. Vivre la difference.

Careful BMMF, that is dodgy ground on this thread... You may generate some bad karma that will involve you deserving to fall off your bike and injure yourself seriously.

Just a warning like ;-)

all i said was i forgot to tighten the front wheel and i fucked up her fork. seriously not too complicated. i think i could make a flow chart if you need some help following...

Yay! We need more flow charts on here. And maybe a nice histogram.

Bring it on.

unbelievable

Such hatred over what?

I think that both the fixed gear and single speed advocates need to accept that both systems are inherently flawed

I agree, though 'not perfect' might be better than 'inherently flawed'. Different tools for different uses - which is probably why a lot of us have more than one bike, with and without freewheels.

another mitigating technique is to lean your body (out of the saddle) into the corner, so that the bike can remain upright.

+1 to badtmy's point - he is exactly right.

Crank length + BB height is all important. If you have long cranks and a low BB then you may have to slow through corners.

Does anyone on here have to slow in corners on fixed?

Fort St George already established as closed.

henry's is a wank hole.

Eagle is good, with a large courtyard but not really much bike room.

I'd be tempted by the Mill or The Anchor - buy beer in plastics, take out onto Mill Pond Green, drink, watch girls, watch punters falling in, enjoy.

Jealous.

Oh bollox, I think i may have given away that I went to Cambridge university - this probably means that at least one of you will hate me for ever now and hope that I fall off my bike and break my head or something. Arse.

ghayest bike eva!

I thank you, sir. I thank you.

In that case I agree with everything you said, Mashton.

Fuck me, that is a surprising thing to hear, given the shit I have been getting on a certain other thread.

Thanks Villa-Ru :-)

Shit, this sounds like an amazing night - cool ride plus killer party. I may have to miss the former due to brokenness, but will hopefully manage the latter. Will keep in contact with the main group by phone and maybe meet you guys at the finish, for a cocktail in the Oxo before debauchery in manor House :-)

brilli ant thread

naughty miscre ant.

Wow, what a result. Good luck in the op, i'm sure you'll heal up soon :-)
