I don't know, it just seems that when my shiny new bike is done that it would annoy me. Maybe I'm just being a prat.

Dogs - I looked at those Paul cranks - very pretty - but don't they use non-standard chain-rings?

Bombadil - I don't really want to build up a new bike and have hacks like that, though. I'd like it all to fit together as nature intended if I can get away with it.

Hmm, interesting. Is the Campag Centaur sealed, have you been happy with it?

So Paul hubs & 111mm centaur & Sugino 75s should work, too?

I have my eye on a set of Paul hubs, but I know the chainline is a bit unusual. Will one of Phil's adjustable bottom brackets let me use them with a crank like... not sure what I'll be getting yet, maybe a Sugino 75?

Or would I be better off going for Phil hubs?

Any help much appreciated, folks.

xsheepx damnit i will be on tour :(

What sort of tour?

I don't think I get it either, but it sounds stupid/dangerous/fun.

Wow, doesn't he know that you don't hit girls, or drop litter?

How fast is the ride? Supposed to stay off the bike at the moment, but if it's casual then it doesn't count, right?

Nice idea, if a little rustic.

The only bike reference I remember in a William Gibson novel was a laminated paper frame ridden by a courier.

Not much room for adjustment there.

If you have absolutely nothing else in your life that is stressful, you'll be able to cope with this landlord, but otherwise I'd be careful.

That comprehensively rules me out, then.

Sounds like a great flat, with a serious flaw.

Was in Norwich this weekend, saw a lovely old chrome Bianchi chained up near The Bell. Anyone on here?

I'm down there a lot - we should arrange a ride one weekend.

Guys, apparently a presidential candidate just baked me a pie.

2 gear fixed? Black magic!

I've got a funny knee thing going on since the crash, will see if I can make it down.

I really like that Bob Jackson, about right for a 6' 2" ish lad like myself, no?

What is with those drop-outs, though? Should I be suspicious, or pleased?

I'd love to watch this, could pop into Brockwell Park - I live right next to it. Not sure who's in there at night though.

photoben One of the best drunk/stoned conversations I ever had was that we should get rid of all the tube trains and have an underground cycle network, with hire bikes at each station. It would be wicked. Perhaps I should suggest that to Ken.

I would absolutely love this, can we have one, please?

I can see it from both angles - to chase up every theft and crime to a happy conclusion would cost billions more than their budget allows, so I understand why stolen bikes don't get recovered.

Also, running red lights is illegal - we may all do it occasionally, but we shouldn't be surprised if we get fined.

Not that I enjoy fines or stolen bikes...
