hey take a photo of me will you?

asm pokemon diamond is brilliant. but the bike in it has 2 gears! THAT pissed me off.

haha, get well soon back on the saddle and u wont have to be pissed off at that kind of thing again. you'll be racing roadies who's got... 30 gears. for now try counting the number of teeth you don't need.

52 + 30 + 12 + 13 + 14 + 16 + 17 + 18 + 19 + 20 + 21 = 232

once that pink set of tubes went over 30 as i watched it i gave up already.
plus 12 P+P, 50 powdercoat it's just getting way over the top.

thanks to this fixed craze that bloody thing went for 85quid just because it's got track ends. the seller must be over the moon i guess.

[cite] BringMeMyFix:[/cite}Come to think of it, I reckon it's simply referred to as 'fixed' in conversation most of the time.

same here, sod all differences and keep pedalling fellas.

asm, your accident probably knocked your senses off you... how did you come to the hypothesis that a DS could compare to riding fixed? :P
obviously you know better now ;)

but the DS did alleviate the pain at least didn't it?

yeah you can get forks with more rake (the bend at the forks) but i would suggest you get used to toe overlap, it's not that hard and you will appreciate the tighter geometry when you get used to it.

ah, i would say get the tools and learn how to do it yourself. to be honest i think brick lane bikes are really rather overpriced. you can use that money to buy all your parts, buy all your tools, and even buy a book to learn bike mechanics yourself. if you got all the tools it's not hard at all (apart from figuring out all that different dimensions malarkey on parts). understanding how your bike works completes the whole experience it enhances your riding. and it's part of the fun as well.

fixed is perfect to learning mechanics because you don't need to work with the 2 most annoying parts that can go on a bike - derailleurs. i just serviced an mtb for my friend and i hated those damn things.

your frame is new and bought in this country it would obviously be english threading.
italian has quite a larger diameter (36) compared to english (34.8) both are 24tpi.
you can take the b.b. out and measure it.

Todd See the guys other auctions. Another track frame going cheap. 10 mins!!!

not any more either... i've been watching it for 3 days already.

unxetas edmundane: cash would probably be fine.. although my fuji track is getting here today (hopefully) so I might need a few things - a front brake and lever and an 18t cog and lockring?

cool.
you know what size are they? they should have it written on the inside of the crank... 170mm?
i have some road levers, a rather bad front brake (sidepull one that sticks to one side). let me know if it would be useful.

can anyone recommend me a good lockring tool/c-spanner?
one that fits pretty much all lockrings including the sprocket one and the bottom bracket one? and where to get it?

went to brixton cycles they only stock the dura ace one and they're out of stock...

unxetas, what stuff you looking for? if not then you accept cash?

don't think i've seen a keirin frame over 57cm C-C.
and a lot of the japanese people i know have long torsos & short legs...

where did u meet her? i need a girlfriend with a dad like hers.

can send it to me Tommo I can host it. my email's in my account profile.

looks like trampsparadise got a room

i heard someone say roberto's got a whole box of rims... CXP30 or 33?

wow that's nice. it's quite strange indeed, never seen a chainring like that... and really short track ends... the badge on the stem looks really nice as well...

i bet the amount of interest that it managed to stir up in me exposed my lack of information i can tell you. sorry...

let's say it's a party for my mum :P
she's having her birthday tomorrow, but she's all the way in hong kong and i haven't seen her for sooooo long .

unxetas, if you still got those cranks, and if no one's interested, i am! that's probably a 52 chainring on the outside i guess?

everything you always wanted to know about side pull brakes*
*but were not afraid to ask

right looks like the ball's starting to roll.

sounds good stonster, can't wait to see it!
nat, i'll send u a list of stuff i've got...

how cheap you want todd? open sport for £17 there's a link up there. i dont know anything else decent that's cheaper than that, apart from steel rims ;)

flip, i'm not sure about that i'm thinking of buying one for a dirt cheap conversion as well. from the picture it looks like fixed/single. if that's the case i wont buy it because i want fixed/fixed for a polo bike - silly gear for riding to brick lane, even sillier gear for playing.

http://www.uci.ch/english/indoor/index.htm

oh yeah, got to start riding on a 1 to 1 ratio too.
and something else to play with a bike and a ball apart from bike polo...

sjscycles put up nitto, ITM and kalloy quill stems on ebay for really cheap. check those out.

ITM & nitto are usually black, kalloy silver.
i got the ITM for 99p + 3.50P&P. dirt cheap!

another one to go for is obviously the cinelli 1A or the milano.

hippy [quote]RPM we get enough rubbish beer here as it is.
why anyone would drink red stripe when there's a city full of europe's finest lagers is an oddity
why anyone would chose boddingtons or john smiths over the hundreds of cask conditioned beers and real ales is an oddity..
why people go to a club and drink alcopops is just fucking stupidity

Yes, but the signal to noise in beers here is much better than some places cough Oz.
To answer the second and third points.. sometimes RS and JS are the best of a bad bunch.
Alcopops are for girls or the image obsessed. Apologies to all the beer-drinking graphic designers on here ;)[/quote]

exactly, routine off license trip, head over to the fridge, quick scan - fosters/stella/budweiser/becks/heineken/red stripe. it's obvious which one to go for.

i'm a beer drinking graphic designer and i don't mind that... for what i know i don't do trendy flashy type shit (they're mostly ugly and ill conceived), i hate hype and style over substance i'm no nathan barley. don't get me started on how bad typography was in my year when i was in college...

anyway, back to the booze. what's alcopops by the way?
