willski Saw Clefty getting some verbal off a cabbie at the Elephant and Castle this morning. Said hello, but then we were onto the roundabout proper, and I started having to think about what line to take through the corners. Sorry I couldn't chat longer.
well met sir! thats the trouble with that roundabout its not built for chatting. That flat capped git of a cabbie made me laugh, was sat behind me beeping away as I rolled the 10 yards between me and the bus in front stopped at a red, I turned round pointed at the red and laughed at him. Once the light had changed he slowed down as he passed me, wound down his window and shouted 'You're going too slow!'
I waved at him as I then overtook him on the Elephant roundabout whilst he was stuck in traffic and threw his words back at him..
Anyway nice to get a hello, rather than just secret ninja spots I seem to get on my route.

scott not scot that's a bloody good idea VB!
As for all this 'mega heavy' talk.....even the heaviest frames are at the most only a couple of pounds heavier....and as most of us carry locks heavier than that it don't make any difference...as everyone knows...the wheels are the place to lose weight,so it's not a problem having a heavier frame!
i'd bet the plug frame just like my brklyn will still be going strong long after all the lightweight frames have bent,twisted and snapped....this is a bike for the street....not the boards....a fixed wheel bike is never gonna be THAT heavy....so a couple of extra pounds on the frame doesn't bother me one bit.Being a Plug owner, I totally agree, its heavier than a lot of frames but sturdy as fuck, i'm happy thrashing through the potholes of london and twatting around knowing that i'm less likely to kill it.
I love my plug. -

Muhahaha another convert! She was making a good stick of polo on my bike which to be fair was rather too big for her.
A bit of Guerilla warfare entailed tonight as we were set about by a bunch of 'yoofs' (under 12's) who after refusing to share the court and kicking a football at Vic which knocked her clean off her bike, were chased out of the court by a wrathful Vic (a frightening sight) and the other girls on bikes, only to then sit outside and throw sticks over the fence until their dad came and took them home.
Children...they are our future.
little cunts.

they are the rather crappy stock wheels that come with the Charge so that might well be the case, I'll give the bike a good going over this weekend.
Yesterday evening after work it didnt occur, but it did for half a mile this morning. But what I joyous day weather wise it was today so I didnt care!
Even the motorists seemed happier and smiled warmly if I let them go before me, gave me a warm fuzzy feeling inside...group hug?
yep certainly will be, that would be coolio
