Vegetarian poo brown or meat eating guiness swilling poo brown?

Lol. That's black, not brown!

I quite like brown, the Surly Steamrollers in that colour are quite common, and always look very smart. That said, light blue is definitely winning me over after seeing Naz Hamid's Bob Jackson.

It'll be just the drop outs that are campag. The rest will probably remain a mystery.

Which ones do you use? Any suggestions? Does anyone know of any good ones that aren't clip on, but have to be unscrewed completely to remove them?

With each bike I tend to get a new set, or at least a rear light because I'm too lazy to take them off. But I've never found a set that aren't fugly, mismatched or just plain tacky.

I've delugged the frame, welded up the rear brake mounting hole

Good work!

it's an old Campag frame im converting

Campag frame?

Except you have to sit on the right couch in their office, they freak out at facial hair and their English is terrible, I agree that they are great to do business with.

My Japanese aint all that either!

I was going to take the decals off but I can't bring myself to do it! Next purchase will probably be a new seat. In blue maybe?

I'd take 'em all off except "Raleigh" and the seatpost until you have some new ones. The decals on the top tube aint so hot.

Just saw a pair of those this morning.

Jammy bastard!

Perth is pretty southern anyway.

Born in... er.. on the 13th floor of Guy's. Lived in South East mostly, Penge, Beckenham. Moving to Highgate (ah, hills!) in September. Work in sunny old Camden.

Make sure she keeps some spares at home in future!

aidan, I saw you wheeling that fixie away. It looked real nice, and looks better with the tape removed. It'll be great cleaned up and with new bars. You did well there!!

Rode the Van Tuyl home yesterday. A nice bike, albeit in a poor state. The frame is really comfortable though and I love the forks. It's too big for my girlfriend so I'm going to give it a service and make it into a pub bike.

Thanks tattyb, you're a legend.

I'll take the Van Tuyl and donate 50 to Cystic Fibrosis.

Damn... this is one of those posts you only want to read if you're the first.

Wow...

Yeah, I have one of his bikes as my desktop at the moment. He's pretty renowned in the states. The chicago lot have got quite a few bikes by him. Check out Flickr for more porn.

Yeah, nearly half the cost of a Bob Jackson. Once cleaned up and painted that is expensive. Even if you were to do it yourself, time is money.

God knows. Don't drink wine. Try asking in Sainbury's

Lol... set myself up there.

A Clockwork Orange by Burgess (make sure it's a UK edition)
Breakfast for Champions by Vonnegut is quite amusing, if a little naive
Journey to the End of the Night by Céline has similar philosophical themes

Evans are a large chain. I doubt the guys in WHSmiths will be able to suggest a good book for you to read based on what you've enjoyed these last few months, just as I doubt half the guys in Sainsbury's can find you a good cheese and wine combo. They sell stuff in bulk, fairly cheap, to people that aren't that bothered.

It's a shame, because it always makes me sad to hear of my friends buying a crap laptop from PC World. But they can't be bothered to research laptops, and PC World don't need to train their staff well, because they make a killing just shifting whatever boxes they are given. Good service always costs more, unless you have knowledgeable friends like myself that can source a good laptop, fix a bike, and suggest a good book ;)

and that's also why there is now a Kebab shop/ Southern fried chicken shop on every high street. You won't find that in Europe, anywhere.

Plenty of kebab shops in Germany, and a snitzel is basically just fried chicken. But German food is pretty crap too so...

Very nice.

Mine is on my home insurance. I lose £50 per claim but they don't give me a hard time about replacing stuff. I never lock my bike up for long where I can't see it, and use a NY 3000. I usually take my front wheel with me and stick a bag over my saddle to deter any passing rude boy.

What are you guys on about... lycra is essential street wear these days.

Looks painful!
