Best place for dosa in London is Chennai Dosa
and it's ridiculously cheap. I think masala dosa is about £2.50.

Here are a particularly nice pair of tash bars I have always liked and been curious to know what they are (for some reason I can't copy the picture into the message so here is a link):
Cinelli pope/priest bars (I think). Pop up on ebay now and again for £$£$

New plans!
Mr Bear has a friend on the Isle of Man who is kindly putting us up so we are going to do a lap of the island too! New maps to reflect this - any local knowledge about busy roads to avoid welcome:-
[SIZE=2][/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Day 1 - Hove to Portsmouth (http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=2603930)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Day 2 - circuit of Isle of Man (TT!) http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=2603939 [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Day 3 Ferry from Yarmouth to Lymington, then carry on to Weymouth http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=2603953 [/SIZE]It means missing a bit of the mainland coast - but doing a circuit of the Isle of Man has to be done! Not that we will be doing all islands on the way round - that would be bonkers crazy mad.
(coz planning to cycle fixed around the coast of britain is completely and utterly a sane thing to do.)
And Miro - I take your point regarding Gmaps Pedo and MapMyRide - for route planning on a grander scale it just seems to be a hell of a lot quicker than the others.
Do you mean the Isle of Wight? (much nearer to Portsmouth!!)

I went to critical mass on fri, only stayed for 30min or so as I had to be somewhere. I enjoyed myself as always, It's nice just to be out on the streets with loads of cyclists.
However, there are a fair few people whose only aim seems to be to piss off car/bus/taxi drivers and they always ruin the vibe for me somewhat. -
I love these frames. Will pay good money for it if all the dibs fall through.

Don't do it.*
*Do it.
edit: What GI are you running? maybe try something a bit easier before swapping cranks.
-
different stoves for different trips - makes sense.
That's from tracksterman's blog on crazyguyonabike.
Would be interested in seeing pics of your wood stove MK2 when you've finished it.
I've had rice cooked in green tea, maybe noodles in tea wouldn't be too bad.
-
I don't drink heineken but on the subject of stoves, have you seen the bush buddy?
I was thinking about making an alcohol stove, but tbh, it's a pain to get meths and also expensive, hence I really like the idia of a wood stove. Might have to try and make one. -
If you already use outlook, you could use something like plaxo to sync.

^^ Is that a Rega Planar 2? I used to lust after one of those, then I got into Djing and bought 1210's. One day I'll buy a proper turntable.
-
I really want a Honda Zoomer (for no good reason).

Have also used butter on pedals before when nothing else was to hand.
-
I'd be interested in wheels and chainset if you split
-
cheap thick auto grease on everything. Occasionally copper anti-seize on threads if I'm feeling flush.
-
Ive jus noticed a crack in my frame, im going to try and weld her up cos i cant bare to let her go. lol jus wondering if this even possible considering how thin the steel will be and if there are any alternatives? cheers
Is it a steel frame?
Where is the crack?
Pics?
Surely a cracked frame is not an occasion for Loling.

Think I saw park tools one in London Fields on Saturday ad I'm sure Tour De Ville or 14 & Co must have one.

In Mo Better Blues, Spike Lee gets car doored on his bike.

London Fixed Gear and Single-Speed is a community of fixed gear and single-speed cyclists.

I am always tempted by the idea of ultra light fixed touring. Just a carradice saddlebag, small stove, and a bivy to sleep in, there's something really nice about doing things a simply as possible - one of the biggest reasons I started riding fixed. There's nothing wrong with pushing up/down a big hill if you have to or hopping on a bus/boat/train when you need it. A flip flop hub with a freewheel on one side and two brakes would definitely be helpful though. Go for it!
