I've twatted about on internet forums catering to niche interests that eventually go overground since the days of 28k modems and every single one of them eventually generates a student requesting help with homework.
Its virtually a rite of passage.

The other one is a hobby suddenly becoming referred to as "culture" usually by people with an interest in exploiting it for a commercial gain from something not directly connected to the hobby.

A fixed gear themed art exhibition will be the sign the charlatans have moved in and decided you all need some culture to go with your pastime.

As of 2 weeks ago there was a black 22 inch BJ in Putney Cycles available for sale with rear mudguard eyelets.

I think I've tried every tension possible and still find after heavy braking when I pull away it can skip a tooth. Never ever dropped but very disconcerting. I've got it pushing up with a half link installed so I can't see how it can get that loose to skip.

Jessica Albaspoke?

I'll get me coat

I emailed Archie Wilkinson in Sep about the £99 frame

RE: Basic frame and fork specs

Hello Steve,

Frame is Cro-Mo steel with 110mm rear track end and 100mm front.

Straight bladed forks and 11 1/8” bottom bracket height with 26 x 1 3/8 wheels.

Standard single speed bottom bracket with approx. 110mm axle.

Frame size is 21” and frame and fork are both drilled for brakes. £99 frame and fork is only available in black colour at the moment.

Regards

Even regular Google searches with a product name and a target price can come up trumps.
I googled to find a black Specialized Decibel helmet for less that £70 and found Hargroves Cycles had them for £59.99.
Gave them a call and they said "actually we'll do it for £54.99". Then I get a call back 10 mins later saying sorry we messed up the last medium was sold, but would you like a 2D for £65 instead?"

yes still available

Vinz I was thinking that if we all choose one track someone could combine them all to make the "londonfgss" mix CD?

it works; random board members can dump MP3s on Sharebee.com to get a mix going. Done it on other boards

^ I was super skeptical too but this (sprockets?) was confirmed to me in store yesterday. After a brief argument between staff members. Whilst someone dropped a grand of cyclescheme voucher on something that clearly wasn't worth it.

The Kane!!

ArgggugggHHggHHuuuGGHHH!!!

After (seriously) a touch on the lotto my build had gone from Iro to Bob Jackson money so someone can have this at US retail $129 = £65

You know that feeling? When $500 of parts are posted to you but international online postal tracking systems fail to acknowledge the fact for a few days longer than is comfortble?
Argghhh!

Seen ceramic 6000 bearings marketed for completely diff purpose (fishing rod reels!) for 30 GN; would they make an amazingly smooth upgrade or be a disaster waiting to happen?

Pink or purple looking Phils, white deep vees and a green frame walking on pavement in front of me through police roadblock at a triple stabbing on Old Kent Road tonight.... nice!

Post system still recovering from the strikes, I had a couple of cogs take three weeks to arrive from On One.

External doesn't matter, its the internal measurement that matters.

+1 LBS

I knacked a park tools pw5 pedal spanner trying to get a pedal off that the shop mechanic with some 2 foot long forged spanner nonchalantly removed using his pinky finger.

Dolan Kadet junior track frame goes down to 45cm

I tried sniffing around a more family orientated LBS near me and quickly came to the conclusion that the Raleigh CE's rant about most shop owners wasn't far off the mark.

Me "Got any old track or single speed stuff? Cogs hubs chainrings etc?"
Them "No"
Me "Sure?"
Them "Absolutely"

After 60 seconds of browsing

Me "What about this Miche track hub?"
Them "Oh yeah, well thats all we have "
Me " And those TA chainrings?"

etc.

I might try and haggle with them at some point

lace the rim to a hub with a few spokes, tape the brake surface and with a razor blade held steady cut the tape whilst turning wheel in a frame?
