I have a white one not in use...

I don't really like 'em but they're usually done by long time members of the forum in response to certain posts. It's a little frustrating but there's a lot of worse trash that I'd rather see the end of. You know what they are. They usually include selling stuff without contributing to the forum.

Todd, you don't need to be told A) it's not a letter B)the nazis didn't invent the swastika.

AND

plural of Nazi is Nazis not Nazi's! FFS!

They stole a hindu good luck sign! What fucking cheek!

And the plural of Nazi is Fuckheads or something to the worst words to sum them up.

Maybe the grandma is making goodluck biscuits then?...

Peronally I reckon it a waste of time.
Unless you're gonna ride through a tanning booth straight into pitch black it ain't really gonna work.
It needs to be charged in high light and put straight into darkness.
As the sun fades slowly by the time night hits it'll be un-active.

It's a novelty but still amazes me. But so did Global Hypercolor T-shirts...

Reflective is better or that colour changing paint is pretty good.

The Nazi's had some serious typography going on.

I think it should be a book you personally enjoy whilst also being such a classic, you immediately know what your bike is based on.
If you have decals added after the frame has been painted and varnished...
..You can use some white spirit to remove and then update the decals like reading a new book everytime you're in the mood?

There's been so many classics but I don't know if some ever came with the orange and white cover.

Brave New World?

**@Wayne: **Did you see the penguin illustations at the back of the Penguin By Design book?There's one in graduates hat and cloak and another sat at a printing machine. Very nice.
There's also the Tschichold experimental layout in there.

Reckon it would look good more like dogs' holdsworth but with bigger cream sections on the seattube and another on the downtube. One for the writer and another for the title perhaps.

I remain in favour of George Orwell.

What's your favourite Penguin Classic?

Have you got the book with classic covers?

cheers for the words of encouragement Todd, AndyP et al. have looked up where Ashton Under Lyme is and yeah it is doable. fuckin ride back !!

Todd, used to have a paganini myself and remember seeing photos of yours. I rate them highly. Have got my eye on this one so let's just see what happens to the price

Thing is...classic bikes can go so cheaply on eBay.
It's such a shame but a bonus if you want one.
I saw a Benotto and a Concorde go a while back for just over £100.
The Benotto had all Campy Vintage GS and pantographed everything!!!

I might have to lose the zebra tape...

That penguin cyclist is sooooo sweet! Bless it.

I thought Penguin might be thrilled and want to support the cause?
If they moan about copyright tell them where to go.
They won't find you...

I think that's awful and very sad.

i'd go paganinni

lovely bikes! That would be a steal at that price.
Get up there and collect it Jonny.
Make a day of it.
They're really amazing in the flesh...
Made by Torpado Italy who also made identical Concorde frames.

Mine + Full 1991 Campag Chorus / Record groupset and Croce De Aune Hubs.

Call Penguin and tell them.
They might help in someway?

Nice idea but will definitely look like they've done their own bike!!!
Like the mugs, deck chairs etc....

I'd go for Orwell's 1984 ;-)

Todd HHSBing

I thought that said HSBCing! I thought you'd spotted me whilst banking?

Slaytanic wants a small version of his bike! Your's would be perfect for him if you're gonna sell it.
Love that Bianchi! ;-)

I'd prefer the same amount of shit talking.. just in less threads.

Exactly!

so your point Todd? This is all ramble.

You don't get my point?...
Or are you trying to be witty?

My point still stands in my initial post.
I'm talking about starting new threads mainly.

Anyway, it's the quality of the drivel that counts.
I would certainly expect it after starting a thread about rubbish posts.

Many of these comments are jokes, highlighting exactly what I'm talking about.

i'm cooped up in my tragic holloway basement flat every night

I'm just round the corner! Highbury way.
Let me know if you're about East so I can hook you up with stickers and I'll see if there's any promo tees left.

I've got 84p. What chocolate bar should I buy?

Double Decker.

In fact...I've never introduced myself since my first post about not getting an LCC discount at BLB in April 2007.

Hello, My Name Is Todd ;-)

^A lot of first time posters come across as very very simple in their introductions.

ha ha! True.

What makes a good introduction thread?

In as much as they usually contain formulaic fawning, self-deprecation, frame boasting, technical begging and inability to round out nicely.

Just a simple introduction I guess. The bikes to faces is a nice way.
Not "Hello everyone, do you wanna buy my bike". IMO
There's no pressure to make yourself known so urgently.
I think some people think there is and they're so desperate to feel part of the forum they ask the first thing in their head.
Why not answer other peoples questions, help others out, meet ups, etc and get known through that rather than start off a poor thread.
How many people have been shot down on their 1st thread? I think that's sad but some have it coming :(

Lesbian

If that means he's a lesbian, it must mean I'm a female.
If I was, you'd be all over me you dirty rotter.

You should have asked our advice. ;-)

Ha ha! What colour should I paint my bike? White or "Gay Pursuit Champion Stripes"?
You would've all said like a Campri Jacket anyway.
And yes, your sandwich post was one of the good ones.
