defo keep that tape

Man, you do seem to love a project.

...I saw one for the very first time tonight, heading south on the OKR. I can't lie, it really did look beautiful.

I saw my first on in the flesh last night and thought the opposite. Looked really cheap. The world would be a dull place if we all liked the same things though.

stinky bridge

Ha!

Can aluminum be TIG welded? My frame is TIG welded and it has a really tidy finish. The welds on the Mash frames* look just like those i had on a Trek 1000 - standard and mass produced, not really much attention to detail.

*I like the pursuit style (ish) sloping top tube, but that aside I reckon they are pretty average looking.

more of that please^

available black, 144bcd 47t

It says 145pcd, which seems a bit odd. Am I missing something?

... 47x19 FTW!

got to add a big fat +1 to that. but why are 47t chainrings so hard to find in black. seriously.

I went to school with someone who had Blower as a surname. Also once at work I came across (ha) a dude called Alan Slicker, his middle name was Simon.

^classy

eighthinch do some pretty decent bullhorns. Mine are 40cm wide (with a 26.0 clamp) they do wider too. don't forget the shipping when you are amazed at the price on their webiste, still good value though, i'm really happy with mine.

Also, if you after wide-ish bullhorns check out charge bars, they stock them in quite a few evans. they are flat and quite wide, not sure on the clamp size though.

I spent £45 on a pair of gore gloves earlier this winter and my fingers still hurt in the cold (last night for example) so i'd certainly be up for getting a pair of heated gloves next winter, especially if they are slightly more bike friendly.

for me they'd need to be waterproof, have a snot patch, be reflective and have the kind of sleeve / cuff thing discussed above so there wouldn't be a naked spot for the cold to get in. that's all a winter glove needs to do to tick my boxes. being able to turn them off easily would also be an advantage. Obviously the smaller the battery bit the better. I'm sure it would be miles more expensive but something small, flat and light like a phone battery would be preferable to AAs.

I'm also now going to get me some heated inner soles after having some real problems (infected chilblains in case anyone wants a grim image) with my toes this winter.

Thats him aye. Good lad eh?

he does seem a bit mad. does love to cut up traffic though, it won't end well.

Other lad on Mountain Bike, stop jumping infront of Taxis and red lights, fucking them all off and making the rest of us look like cunts. No wonder Taxis hate us. Wear a helmet daft prick.

Done.

was he riding a kona listening to music (not through headphones)?

the bars look like bandaged arms.

I really, really like that. I'd probably look like a tit on it, but would love to have one.

nice work. I like the long pause about 20 seconds in - was that lunch time?

the sram cranks on that gan well pro are really nice - would look better with a black chainring though I reckon.

actually, I cant seem to find it in black anywhere, just in silver with a black chainring.

ed are those 170mm cranks?

I'm uming and arrhing between 165 and 170.

i shaved my balls for this?

that is fucking gold. best thing i've read on here in ages.

bike theives really are c**ts. best of luck getting it back.

that Giuseppe Randonneuris a thing of absolute beauty.

this morning I did a double take and spotted a woman getting changed in the back of the cab who then proceeded to wave at me, blow a kiss and then give me a bit of a show with a cheeky grin on her face. best ride to work i've had for a while!

it's a 650, he was just really small.

shopping trolly is out of shot.

yesterday lunchtime, a security guard in the holborn cyclesurgery. not seen that before in a bike shop.
