funny (peculiar, not ha ha) - whenever I've fallen off I think to myself, I'll heal up but if the bike's damaged I'll be really annoyed, but then again people don't heal up so well if you apply the kind of forces that could do that to a bike..

I reckon it'd probably be cheapest to go to Snappy Snaps and use the Kodak Kiosk if the stuff is just casual snapshots that you care about but not a lot.

I got Snappy Snaps to scan a roll of negs the other week but wasn't impressed with the results (my photography skillz notwithstanding) - resolution was a poor 1500x1000 and the images looked a bit noisy/grainy even thought the film was ISO 125. They'd be ok for a web page but not for printing any bigger than half a postcard I reckon. Cheap though - £3 for the lot.

^^^ I'm with aidan - I just have the occasional one or two but not every day. I don't see it as a problem though I do feel it if I have one just before a ride. Also, if you go some days without, you really notice the difference between faggy- and non-faggy-morning-mouth!

pistanator, is this a road bike that BLB has the rear drops cut-off and replaced with track ends. then repainted with new coppi logo's? something's not quite right about it as a track frame?!?[/quote]
I think that's what they or somebody else did to my Ciocc aswell. The tell-tale signs are (apart from the low BB and the f*cking obvious cable guides on the top tube :) that the track ends sit a little higher on the frame than the drop-outs would have been, so the back of the bike sits a little lower and I can't get a normal clincher in under the rear brake bridge without pulling back the axle too far in the ends. It's a bit annoying to be honest - going to see if Mr. Witcomb in Deptford can sort it out for me. How has yours worked out?

+1!

Soweto888 Any decent-quality bike grease ought to do the trick. Is this a new part? Even if it is just out of the box, I'd give it a bloody good clean before you start. Make sure the bottom bracket shell is grime free too. Maybe use a cloth that's been dampened with mineral spirits.

My handy hint for the day is to make sure that the adjustable cup lockring is bastard tight before you set off on a ride. Failure to do it up properly will result in many wasted hours of tinkering, wobbly cranks and another BB thread on here. :-)

thanks for the tips.
yes, it's new - i already polished the races with stuff that polishes steel so they look gorgeous :)

re. tightening the lockring - I lost a very nice bottom bracket to that particular ailment a few years ago.
ground itself to bits on a tour of ireland before I get round to fixing it properly.

I'm about to install a bottom bracket. It's a Sugino 75 3 piece. I'm wondering what particular kind of goo I should be putting on the threads: grease? some of that anti-sieze copper grease? locktite on the drive side?

Also, the bearings come packed in grease, but clearly, I'm going to need more to assemble it - should I clean off the old grease thoroughly or does it not matter if a little gets into the mix?

You might have seen these.

Now I'm as tempted by a pair of campy hubs as the next guy, but I was wondering if they'd be ok for road use, as I've heard the seals aren't really up the job. Does it depend on which year they were made? You see, there's also this
(dura ace low flange, or at least there was until someone bought it earlier, but the seller might have some more).

I only got as far as volume 1 but the anime seemed like a fairly close, if abridged, adaptation.

photoben They've just annouced they're making a live action version of Akira....

....Tetsooooooooooooo!

Who's they? (The second they that is.) Is it going to be Y.A. Hollywood remake?

haj [quote]GrandeAnse2Grenville I forgot Das Boot.

Das Boot needs to be the 5hours 40minutes edition.. (Also called the miniseries-version), I find it amazing that it actually keeps being good even if you watch all of it in one evening :)[/quote]

Das Boot is great. In fact, there's nothing like a good submarine film:
The Enemy Below, Crimson Tide, Fantastic Voyage...

i use and sort of like debian, though sometimes i don't know..

carlitos its been a long time since ive built linux machinery, but i might be able to answer the odd question...

computer porn?

haj wooph!! :) :) .

What needs to be done is off cause to put some cloth-bartape on it, and i'm thinking about cutting just 1-1½ cm of the ends on the bars off, since it's useless material.

i chopped the entire curved bit off the end of my rb021s - they're much better like that I think plus it's much easier to get your leg over the front without making a fool of yourself..

chap with the new green bob jackson in brixton tesco (we had
a chat at the checkout) -- see you around!

hey vic: sweet bike - will you be bringing it to the track when the season starts?

btw, what size frame is it? I'm vaguely looking for a small frame for a girl about
5'4" or 5'5" and I'm not really sure what size would work. And what's the rationale
behine the seat stays crossing the seat tube deal?

miro_o That lock is too flash... It'd get nicked.

heh. you'd have to lock it to something.

^ now that's just showing off.

I'm just watching Texas Chainsaw Massacre that was on earlier tonight.
Was is it with these pointless pointless remakes? Planet of the Apes, Alfie, The Wicker Man, Godzilla...

Anyway, if I had to name remakes that actually stand up (they're few and far between) I'd have to say the 70s version of Invasion of the Body Snatchers, and the recent Dawn of the Dead, which was better imho than Land of the Dead (sorry George).

hippy

Vomit.

What's with the dangling balls?

Is it some kind of Green & Gold Australia Day Joke Bike Special??

Red gold and green, red gold and gree-een.

Are your tattoos to draw comment or are they just because you like them ?

they are to help remind me who I am and what I'm supposed to be doing.[/quote]

you mean like in Memento?

ok, we'll let you off this time :) But we've had the porn vs. readers' wives debate before!

here we go again...

MuleFace [quote]dogsballs

muleface, where is your cats tail?

meeko was born without a tail, just a funky nub.[/quote]

my cat has no tail too. it got squashed (possibly by a car) and had to come off.
she looks like coupe or a sports hatchback now.

oh lord help me now...
