illy, guys, i am out of the run to brighton - can't make saturday. might do it solo on sunday instead, but will see how head feels.

kelvin, yeah i have done the Isle of Wight the last four years. first time on a slicked up mtb then then last three on my current fixed
BMMF - 48x18. there are no killer hills on the Isle of Wight, only two that are quite hard. otherwise it is just up and down all day. it's a good ride.

i will be doing it this year, with a bunch of mates i have dragged down there the last few years. would be good to see some lfgss lot down there too.

saw sparky this morning, walking his ride along the waterloo end of kennington road. hope you weren't in any trouble dude i was running way late so couldn't stop to check

i reckon i'm in.

illy, might do. will know for sure tomorro. am well up for getting the miles in already and i am not even signed up for any sportives. just doing it out of love dude.

do tell illy, you might find yourself in a peloton

or are you keeping it a secret so 50x14 doesn't find out ;)

i like the cake. you can have it. and eat it.

jeez hippy you are doing well on this.

guys, might get over for a few. a few (yeah right)

oh, and my mate's moving to NZ and put his trusty Olmo conversion on ebay. did 50 miles with him on this on sunday. it's a sweet ride. 6ft+ only need apply

nice rourke conversion, not unlike provenrads. tubs but with just over 5 hours to go a steal at round £80. sure it will go up a bit tho

stelle I'll ask em tonight about railton rd - she was in touch with them, no?
I'd be up for a wee knockabout somewhere tomorrow eve.

nice one stelle, em defo made contact with them, just not sure how it has been left.

i am up for it tomorrow night if we have enough people and mallets (haven't got round to building one yet). happy to get down to the peckham spot

Platini "I put my hands up"

...too much information there....

heehee

aidan [quote]dogsballs that's a little disturbing for some reason!?

i think its because she naked standing up in the bath with a frame covering her bits[/quote]
in particular the wedding ring finger... okay, i put my hands up, have obviously been looking at this picture a bit too closely

flickwg

heh pistanator - now this is how you will sell your pista concept frame. i would have paid up there and then.

looks bleak, and then i looked over to the right hand side of the page in your link. it said 'your basket is empty'. this finished me off.

give me American Flyers any day.

it was called Gridlock i think.

i watched the first ten minutes. got bored and couldn't stick with it, even though i know i probably should. shouty people bore the f**k out of me though, no matter walk of life/angle they are coming from

hippy I like their blog and this..

if you have that tool hippy it must be completely redundant now. we know you never use the spanner end and your no alcohol policy must be giving the other end a bit of a break too ;)

my tuppence. i used to have a steamroller. it was a wicked frame to ride. ma3k - yours is still very much a bespoke machine

been using risers for a year and love em. but am just gonna try out flats just for a change really. i only miss drops (or bullhorns) on really long rides or really steep hills. risers, and flats, are perfect for city riding. when you get round to it then i recommend cutting em down using pipe-cutter tool.

the commute to the job is proving rich for this thread, before i had even got to brixton this morning i saw two on railton road, tall guy on an old converted raleigh, single speed, then just after a guy an old red condor with red rims. both nice bikes but the pick of them was on kennington road. a guy on a pearly pink mtb conversion (i think - defo not road geometry) with mudguards. really nicely done and put together, chris king headsets and the like. he was wearing one of those rasta style hats

i like that possible gitane. lots of chrome and the paintwork gives it character. £85 is probably about right if a little steep. it's worth paying a bit extra sometimes if you really like the look of the frame though

provenrad and his cool rourke frame on brixton high street last night. then pistonator 5 mins later - that bianchi pista concept is one nice bike.

and a lovely white frank herety fixed this morning at senate house. belongs to a friend of mine. has to be one of the nicest bikes in london - good to see it back on the road.

lovely weather yesterday out riding in the chilterns, shame the wind returned with a vengeance today

nice one baggy, cool that worked out and sounds like you got a bargain.

i ride Sidi MTB style shoes and spds. means i can walk up to the bar without slipping over. i use road shoes only for proper rides, not all this getting round the big smoke stuff.

that roberts is gonna be an awesome fixie. nice one mate

chapeau!

shit hippy, you reckon you're gonna get thru a friday AND a saturday night without. brave man.
