Thanks all!

After a bit of looking around and reading comments, I decided to go with the Kryptonite new york chain. Still gold secure, lighter than Faghedaboutit and I can hopefully adjust the length around my waist.

I'm going to pair it with a full set of pitlocks. Realised the other day that nothing on my bike is insured unless the whole bike is taken.

So getting just one, really strong, lock seems a bit pointless. I'd rather my whole bike was stolen than just a wheel, bars or saddle.

The logic then goes that the weakest point on the whole lock setup should really be the one that links the bike to the immovable object. The lower limit on this being whatever still validates my insurance.

I almost bought an Abus 80cm, but tried a friend's and found that it slipped over my waist to the point that it seriously restricted my movement. Not the lock for me.

Try one on before you buy, especially if you're a waistless wonder.

Cheers. That's exactly what I was worried about. Guess I'll have to find myself a fitting room in a bike shop.

Great! Thanks, that's what I was hoping.
Was a little concerned about the abus slipping down (I don't really have a waist to speak of)
Thought it might be handy to be able to tighten the chain, but if no-one has had any issues then abus it is.

This is a very quick and very specific question.

Has anyone had experience using both the NY Faghedaboutit chain and the Abus steel-o-flex?

Which is most comfortable around the waist, most friendly to bike paintwork etc?

I'm trying to choose.

I used to have a mountain bike that looked just like that. Some 1990's Townsend.

Is it off gumtree? Think I saw it last night about £200. No mention of brand names, just says £200 worth £500, track bike (with risers?)

I thought it looked nicked.

It seems especially sad that this occurred within half a mile of a load of police sitting around waiting for people to jump red lights.

hey can i ask what ia the most common used spd shimano pedal.
Don't know about others, but I use M540s.

Who wants to do a good samaritan thing? Stand 200m further down the road warning people on bikes? No saluting, though. :p

Pretty hard to miss them from 200m. There were about 35-40, all in hi-vis jackets.
You'd have to be blind to have been caught by them.

To be fair, they did shout "morning gents" as I rode past. Shame they didn't nick the guy in the red beemer who was trying his hardest to beat the bikes away from the lights and almost took a couple out. What a twat.

His and hers - blue lo-pros. Heading through Dalston down to Old Street Roundabout.
Loving the matching bikes!

Can we add another poll vote for falling off in an stupid/embarrassing manner? ie No pedestrian/car/wall involvement?

I am gutted to miss this! Looks outstanding.
Next year, next year.

It's on tonight at the Rio in Dalston. 11.15ish I think

Ride was great, good to finally put faces to names (when I've worked out who's who)

Miserable ride home from London bridge, soaking wet and bloody freezing!

Knees are a bit shaky, nothing a couple of beers and ibu[pofen tonight won't fix.

Crisp and clear, not too sweaty. Perfect.

Where North? If anyone's around Stoke Newington way, we could have a pre-meeting point.

Saw a chap on a white flyer with red drops and red tyres on E&C roundabout, anyone on here?

That was me!

Who has the purple TJ Quick that I always see going the other way to me on Kingsland High Street? It always looks sparkly and clean. Impressive in this weather.

It's frickin' April!

That, and the tubes are round profile made of a different steel. Can't remember exactly what it's called. SAT maybe?
Geometry is the same as the Pista, but with straight forks.

2007 Potenza frame (on sale, only £125 more than Pista) Goldtec hubs, open pro rims, newton stem, deda anatomic bars, arione saddle.

Roll on May!

Was in there again today. Apparently the 2008 Potenza in the shop was an attempt to build something like the pista classico but for a slightly cheaper price. They failed, so there is no actual 08 potenza.

I'm pretty happy having just blown my entire cyclescheme voucher. Bring on the free bike!

Anyone seen this downstairs at Condor?

Out of my price range but a very, very pretty bike.

About time I showed my face...
