Now I know why they were holding hands -

So how do you say my little English friend in French?

LOL too funny

I enjoy roundabout surfing like the next person, but they are a bad idea--a huge land take with generally deserted central islands (not all have something worth seeing on them, like an Arc de Triomphe) leading to severance, higher casualty rates for cyclists and pedestrians, and no motor traffic capacity advantage once signalised to reduce casualties.

Of course there should be fewer traffic signals--many are only put in these days because of predictive traffic modelling. However, at roundabouts they are certainly better, as otherwise you get a lot more cyclist and pedestrian casualties. They have to be applied consistently, though--if you look at inconsistently signalised roundabouts like E&C or HPC, you have one major explanation right there why they still strike fear into many cyclists.

very interesting - so why do roundabouts kill cyclists...?

the sun is always shining in Italy

four way crossings like they have in the states where everyone takes their turn to go?

If rain or dirt touches any of my sacred Italian steeds I immediately dismantle, clean each part individually and reassemble - the best advice I can give you my son is unless you feel the devotion - don't ride Italian

Italian bikes only ever run on hand made 19mm veloflex so light that they skim over potholes never sinking in

Saw a popo car doing the same thing the other day, but they put their little blue lights on just for a few seconds while they did so, then trundled on to the next traffic tailback and sat in it, patently not in any rush to go anywhere.

I'm all for rljing, where safe and no peds trying to cross. Coppers too.

In fact I'm all for getting rid of the damn things, just needed for peds so should there ought to be pelican lights 'on demand' only.

A world of roundabouts - I love roundabouts - they are so much fun

Finally you have hit 'bottom' object - time to hang up your spurs - and join us in a meeting - one day at a time mate, one day at a time ... :)

Weapon! I bet he's mates with Don Walker

wot does 'weapon' mean - only I'd like to adopt it but I better check what it means first

maybe when he gets out he can run down a couple of nuns or perhaps plough into a group of nursery school children just for good measure

I'd love to be hip enough to be a hipster

day before yesterday whilst wearing full enclosure head phones and blatantly cycling my brakless bike on the pavement I past three coppers who all waved and smiled 'bonjour mon petit ami Anglais - which is why I live here and not over there where the filth are a bunch of miserable cunts

Ha I was thinking that, shouldn't he be driving a Range Rover Vogue?

Would have finished the job if he had

(can you imagine being such a cunt that even your own mum hates you)

That's one severely ugly bike (by design and in the way it's built up)!

its whimsically ironic

Citroën Xantia ? - what an utter cunt

interesting lugs;

An Arabesque in went on ebay last year for $1200 twice what I paid for my equally rare Chromeinum Pinni

Getting there - innit - looks much much better - see told ya ;)

Do you have a parts warehouse out back then..coz now you can lose the red straps - put a proper chain on it - hightlight the cranks black - and cut and emboss 'KC' on the brooks -

nice frame that

I know you guys dont like to match colours but I think the Fizik bar tape looks ok.

I still think black saddle, tyres, tape etc
BUT it looks much much better than it did before !
lose the rim stickers, eh

lucky lucky lucky - Australian git..;)

A modern 'classic' - weighs a ton

and the tubes and the forks and the geometry

but it is black so I'll give you that ...;)

everyman and his dog knows not to shop at evans - you won't get any sympathy off me

looks like he's changed a few bits

he has changed the seat post - still wrong
he has changed the saddle - still wrong
handlebars and stem are the same but still wrong
he has changed the wheels
(the wheels are quite nice actually - Mavic MA40's ?)
but the tyres are still wrong

but he has at least managed to lose that stupid fucking bell
