You could try Paul, he does custom bikes. Tell him what you're into and see what he could do based around a lighter frame than typically used on authentic cruisers.
you can find him at 38 Mount Pleasant WC1 or email him: paulscustomcycles@fsmail.net
Here's one of his creations:

On order!
I normally use 2.0mm or 3.0mm needles for merino, depending on thin you would like your beret. 2.00mm would be better I think.I just got myself a new Addi Turbo aluminium pair of needles. They're circular. It is a bit hard to use first but once you get the hang of it it's amazing.
This is what I mean, beautiful hey!

For the mittens, I'm thinking alpaca, check how fine and soft it is...
Hi Vee Vee, could you do me a wooly cold weather hat?
PM me for the cost.
PS as long as you drop the volume on the hoover whilst I'm watchin TV, there wont be any trouble!!!

cheers

Hi, I did the bridges ride also- my first major ride in months since I stopped messengering. I'd been having issues with my Swallow after it got wet; this combined with wearing incorrect garments meant me going into hopsital under GA for the removal of an abscess 2 days after the ride. Still suffering.
Its meant me going back to my old ISM ADAMO. I got it due to discomfort from working 10hrs daily on the bike and it really saved me. It gives your meat and veg the feel and sensation of air conditioning- essential for your soldiers to come out of the barracks in years to come. It initially feels weird by taking the pressure off your perennial nerve and putting it in a non sensitive area.

Otherwise the SDG I beam Bel air is pretty cushy

He doesn't dig deep into the vast world of hip hop. He predominantly promotes anemic, weak, negative rhyme sayers giving the impression that this sector represents ALL HIP HOP. It doesn't- its just HIP POP
Please tell me the last time you heard him really pushing interesting label/artist/producer on his show?
In the Early days when hip hip was just hip hop (upto mid-late 90s), he played a good range of music. However as hip hop has grown into a multi headed beast that has commercial strands, gangster strands, conscientious strands as well as experimental strands he seems to have nailed his true colors to the mast. Like I said: HIP POP
I listened to some of the typical artists that get endless plugs on his show; whilst I cannot & will not blame them 100% you can see a direct influence in the behavior and mentality of the young ferral cunts that maraud our streets.
It seems many community leaders/journalists/+iveDJs find it a little galling to have his face endlessly pushing and promoting these fucktards with their dry lyrics.
Slaptick rappers need chap sticks!
YouTube - MF Doom - Rhymes Like Dimes
disclaimer: I haven't listened to Westwood for a long time (due reasons mentioned) so his play list may have changed. If so, correct me & my appologies

Do the same with the cups - get something to stick into those little holes on the outside of the cups (maybe a long screw or thin phillips screwdriver or just some bit of metal) and again gently tap it around to loosen and unscrew.
I'm not sure I'd risk this. If you can find someone/shop that has the right cup removal tool then use it. I had an incident where a bike shop said they the correct cup removal tool for a Royce BB. They didn't and ended up stripping two of the six small holes in the cup. Now I have to get the frame's BB shell heated in order to get the cups out in conjunction WITH the correct royce tool :(
You could try Witcombes in Deptford
otherwise
you can try out these guys:
Good luck

i have in my possession a Chrome cordura bag that doesn't smell all too good. specifically, it smells like the previous owner's gaff. i have wiped it down/out and hung it out to air but to no avail. i considered getting some fabreeze or whatever that stuff is called.
how do you clean these things? i'm not overly keen on machine washing it. any recommendations?
ACTIVE carbon i.e. replacement odoreaters inner soles from boots or superdrugs

i dont get all the anti-car stuff that comes from some cyclists. i think thats a bit like being into chocolate and therefore hatin all other sweets. it dont make sense.
i fuckin love cars, i love everything about them. the design history, the sound, the speed, the smell.. the whole package. sure they're prohibitavely expensive and they pollute the air but they're still landmarks of passion and artistic energy.
Even the Toyota Yaris!?!

AKA camel toe.
You don't necessarily have a choice if an HGV drives up behind you, also they move out to the right prior to a left which can be confused as them going right and people move into the gap.
I think the idea is more about hesitation and panic leading to poor choices and general death / mutilated limbs. The same is possible for anyone who rides in that manner.
Flowing dresses are likely to lead to me crashing when they blow up and reveal panty cleavage.

I've stupidly messed up the lockring thread on my hub, so popped into cavendish this morning and picked up a new double-fixed. Basically I'm looking for somebody willing to remove the old hub and build up the wheel again (using same spokes and rim) with the new hub. Alas I can't make the wheelbuilding classes either tonight or Saturday, so there goes that one.
But I know loads of you have got the skillz.
Cheers to anyone who can help.
Will provide cash and beer.

i am fucking sick to the back teeth of the term hipster. it is really difficult to be involved with bikes at the moment without constantly hearing this fucking stupid word every bloody day. i'm so bored of hearing about it. there have always been trendy, self-conscious pricks. who cares. the whole issue is a complete non-event. mostly it is used it used to differentiate between you (a hardcore, seasoned, dedicated cyclist and bicycle enthusiast) and 'them' (posing, fashionable, bandwagon-jumping tossers). it seems to me that a lot of people have a chip on their shoulder about being seen to be a hipster. there are no hipsters, only people. it's just another imported stereotype, sold to us by media and bullshitters.
