did you not want those drops i have?

no no more like the drops are too deep they went outside the picture

from what i heard, as with pugs they can be really rather nice bikes they have been raced in the TdF or they can be just absolute rubbish, it's really rather hard to tell, just see what tubing it is maybe?

hippy, that's a bloody good business plan for you. aidan's your main competitor still, i guess. and dogsballs is not far behind and he will bombard every person he buys anything from with heavy marketing to sell his posts.

tynan, google + youtube = your professor.
don't think i'm too geeky am i?

i thought hippy and RPM are the "moderators"?

but i think i agree with vb that we don't really need mods and rules at the moment.
i somehow find it rather amusing when arrospok happened. ah ah ah ah

only thing i hope new people will do is search threads before they post the same question... e.g. what gear ratio

no less than 3 cross on the rear.

dont really know what cheap hub you can get for a 28... are you heavy?

68-72 gear inches is the so called optimum range... spin to win... i am using 64 for winter

a 16t on the back will be good. i dont have one unfortunately.

and get the tache, i reckon it'll suit the bike. and at least you wont have to get into that drops/risers debate...

yeah do a full review of it... i should have known better this is the way to get a hat off chris... :P

tynan [quote]lpg Fixed wheel bikes, like tamagotchis, flared jeans and pagers, will go out of fashion.

What fresh hell is this !?

Out, you say !? I have just dropped 200 nuggets to have a custom tamagotchi pocket sewn into my flares !

Nobody told me about any of this 'out' stuff.[/quote]

nah he's stating those famous OUT examples

like the german angry kid and all your base you know

ah, IMAGE.

let's not stop it because that how us designers make money right?????

really sick of it myself to be honest. fuck them all branding twats, look at what tony malone dafoney did to witcomb. if they start selling cheese tomorrow it'll be a hundred quid but no better than tesco's finest. cunts.

by choice i mean rims and tyres and thus, colour, material, profile etc etc.

700c
yes, 27" is bigger. and being bigger doesn't really give you advantage more like pain... there's not much choice and future for 27" to be honest
27" in the front and 700 in the back will be quite weird i guess.

one option is to swap the forks so you can have a 700c on the front. and wouldn't cost much.

asm I saw JOS or JOL yesterday on goswell road crossing old street. Whichever one of those has a Zanzare! and wears a balaclava. And rides like a demon possessed. By another demon.

that's jos

thanks guys for the tips... i'm already surprised that the drain survived eating my flatmates' tea leaves and assorted greasy gunk for 2 years until it started coughing up.

sano, i've got a plunger, but the blockage is rather bad it wont work.

thanks i know that, anyone works in a school lab can nick me some?

anyway, back to my question... WHERE can i find it?

so as i've seen people have mentioned the use of stuff like drain unblocking fluid / crystals to "eat" away stuck alloy bits to free them from frames, i'm wondering if anyone know where i can buy that stuff? the drain in my kitchen sink is blocked and i need it, tried B&Q and that huge asda on old kent road they don't sell it...

mike makes all the sense as usual...
but guess i'll need more time to save up a bit for a phil bb and i'm still waiting for my freelance invoices to be paid and i have to pay the rent today!

the old one is going to be a nightmare to get out anyway... argh

edmundane just get a lockring tool, 2 sprockets, change them and see how you feel like. or get a double fixed hub.

only you can decide what gear you want to use.

kilgore_trout is this a serious question?
IMHO the difference of something like 4GI is entirely about preference and personal strength/feeling

that's exactly why i said the above

oh yeah i'm scraping my bikes now tubing has better use than stinking bikes

sounds good

i've got an armadillo that's skidded thru to the red bit, you can have it.

the last one i had almost had a ring of thread showing through and i still haven't had a puncture.

for cheap tyres in black, goto cyclebasket.com they do vittoria zaffiro's for 4.80 each. p&p 6quid though. but you can get 12 of them in one go should last you about a year?

have some salad mate, i love rocket. i love it so much i can just eat it straight from the bag.

fc9k I'm after some pretty drop bars that arent scratched up (running tape only on the drops like a wannabe keirin poseur), and possibly a nice stem to match. Italian a bonus.

I have in return a set of campag-copyright-infringement Tektro levers (like these) in average-ish condition. Also my old set of bars ( alu, drops, bit manky here and there) and a kalloy black quill stem, probably 70-80mmish. Anyone?

Oh, complicating factor - would have to post or bring up on the cambridge ride, as I aint from the big smoke!

don't have track bars and stem, they're bloody hard to find these days, especially cinelli.

i'm interested in the black quill stem though...
