myself and horatio spotted edscoble on theobalds road, i guess it was around 6pm. he was going east...

I think I did spotted you as well, did we take a quick glance at each other? and yes it was around 6pm (almost exactly), which one of you that have almost the same beard as mine?

must note that this is the first time someone managed to spot me, all simply because I stripped the decals off and replace the drop bar with a blue one!

Met The Stylist in Covent Garden after spotting his bike - forget to tell you my name!

on neals st earlier, a pearlescent pink track frame with a blue aerospoke and pink grand compe tires. Very nice frame.

Yep, that's the Stylist, exact same time I saw him; near Neal St.

what? go to a shop and buy a Specialized Langster and ride round it for months before you splashed out a useless grand on building a bike, especially when you just started to ride a bike.

a grand so you know you can get quality?? hell, £400 is enough to get you quality if you know where to look.

I just forget someone; which one of you bloke have a cream nameless track bike with a baby blue and pastel pink velocity deep V that I met outside Condor today?

+1 to the train not really being a viable alternative.

GF and I have to go up to Manchester in 2 weeks time - it's gonna cost £200 for the pair of us to travel up by train.
.

don't you find it's extremely funny that it cost more to get from a to b in England, while it cost about.. £100 to get from London to Montpellier back.

Where is arrospok?

Flickwg on Clerkenwell at about 7.10pm on the bridge (just near YO! Sushi), unless you don't ride the infamous Langster that you try hard to make it look uglier?

god help you ed.... did you do it inside? I bet you were high as a kite!!

Nah that photo belong to someone else, i did it outside, in the rain mind cause I was getting rather annoyed with the sticker and was dying to removed it as fast as I can.

I test rode the Swobo Sanchez before, and I can says this - imaging a Bianchi Pista with a relaxed geometry, and this is what you get.

Charge Freestyler is £409 and Charge Racer is £469.

Looks real good. Even more tempted now to take the decals off of mine! What did you use?

car paint stripper from the local garage for a fiver, a bit of a bastard to use, make sure you do one frame, and be careful with the paint stripper, one drop on the eyes, even second could make you blind for life.

this is how you should removed the sticker, do the whole thing not just the sticker part as you also need to removed the whole clearcoat so it look nice and smooth;

that's the one! yikes, £799 for frameset. very nice tho

I just saw the whole bike at Condor today, fucking gorgeous, wouldn't mind having one.

?

you be surprise how much easier it is to cut pizza with a scissor, no mess, clean and simple.

it look like it belong to an old computer software package from the 90's.

Is that How? Jesus I've forget about them! I remember learning how to cut a pizza in the most efficient way from them.

You got the fah and mini, perfect choice of lock, all you need is to simply lock it carefully.

did your mate lock his bike up properly, i.e. not round a bollards?

nah it wouldn't be a huge mistake, in fact, the Bowery normally cost £350, so you're getting a lots of bike for not a lots of money, in fact, if you end up loving it, you could probably keep it as long as you can after you change a few compound to suit your liking/comfort.

About bike theft, just use common sense, decent lock and how to lock it properly, while carefully not to leave your bike in the E postcode area like Shoreditch.

Only if I can find a better one.
and believe me, that would be something you really wouldn't want to see...

Anne Widdecombe?

What about that Giant Bowery for £225? I forget which bike shop sell this bike for only £225.

If I was ever in Croydon, I just think of her and think "at least Croydon isn't so bad".

Platini can you please change your avatar? After all this time it's still arousing me and there are times of the day I don't need a naughty feeling in my wee wee.

Thanks awfully - pajamas.

if you find it's a bit hard, just pretend it's Britney Spears.

No, eds, you haven't got that right at all. Motorcycle insurance companies have a more enlightened attitude to trackdays than do the regular car ones. They have to, as so very many bikers do trackdays..

I really can't remember that much, it was half a decades ago, so yeah you're right.

Actually I think it look quite decent and look a bit different than the other Brooks, it'd catch more eyes methinks because of the unusual way of cutting it up.

Lets not all get upset eh!
The op suggests that a particular motorcyclist is a cnut.

yes.

Stinky bait if you ask me, sure we have jumped in and taken the piss out of you all but it is all part of growing up.

if the cyclist in hospital had the motorcyclists clipped him and send him off the road causing serious injuries, would you still come in and take the piss out of us? can you understand why we do get upset when something like that happen?

occasionally we post an "rider down" topic when a cyclist have an incident/collision to show awareness of other cyclists, some of them are our own, do you have that in your forum?

We have had a bit of a larf, christ some of you are so serious about it. Its the internet FFS.

you can able to have a larf here without resorting to petty insult to us, granted we did the same when we heard an incident, but I like to think we do that within reason as there were some cunts on road, and secondly there's actually quite a handful of motorcyclists here in this forum who is quick to point out that the motorcyclists or the cyclists is in the wrong within reason.

FWIW, if the account of what happened in the op is accurate then i would say that the rider was a bit aggressive and wrong to do so.

that all we need to hear mate, thank you, we would have more respect to motorcyclist had you came in and said simply that.

trackday is still classed as a closed circuit and therefore you still invalidate your insurance. why do you think they ask you what you will be using the bike for when you insure it.

I have an old Citroen AX back then (surprisingly reliable), and I loved driving it a lots that occasionally I enter track day occasionally just to have a blast (the car is extremely light despite having a weak engine), when I read the agreement form of the insurance company that I insured my car with; they specifically said that the insurance is valid for road only, not off-road, track racing etc. that'd either need a different insurance or a seperate insurance.

you're mucking about on track with a higher chance of a cock-up than on the road, that alone should be enough to realise that your current insurance for the road where you drive sensibly and carefully isn't good enough to be covered on track.
