what did you end up getting?

'balloon boy' found alive at home

NOW SOLD

my mercian is finally back from the repairs shop. so i'm selling my holdsworth frame. it's a beauty. i love this bike...

** 1954 holdsworth zephyr, frame and forks only. 57 cm c-c. **

original enamel paintjob (it's a gold-coloured clearcoat over a metallic silver paintjob, with gold-lined cream banding on the downtube) with original decals. it's got a few scratches and such, but don't you dare repaint it. original w.f. holdsworth headtube badge. chroming on both dropouts. a rare and special frame; the headtube and forkcrown both have beautiful nervex lugging, but the rest of the frame is filletbrazed.

£275.

for better pics, please message me. i'll try to sort some out.

fuck, i'm totally going to join now! excellent!!!

i mean... they have to be crossing the bridges. or else it's just a ride along the thames, right?

hey just wanted to mention this. a mate of mine who works in casualty says that she's treated about a dozen cyclists who were injured in accidents with hgv's recently.

she says that almost all of the victims say that the last thing they remember is being sucked under the trucks. be careful when passing/getting passed by these things. give them plenty of room.

some fellow named bill green is putting on a copycat bridges ride! good things about it: money going to a charity. bad things about it: money going to a christian charity.

i've been thinking a lot about stuff like this, especially since there have been about 20 copycat tweed runs around the world and a handful of new ones coming up. in most ways, i'm pretty cool with people using our ideas for formats. they're good ideas, and anything that gets people out on bikes is good. but then i also think that people should show a little initiative and creativity, you know? anyhow, i'm just rambling. your thoughts?

ripper ride please

what is the handle coming off the back of the saddle? can you post a shot of it?

brooks saddles are always worth repairing. if brooks can't do it, i have a fellow that can repair any saddle. he used to work for brooks, and they gave him all the old saddle shapes after he left. pm me.

yeah agreed... "lcd screen manufacturer destroys world" isn't a likely headline, eh?

protest against halliburton or raytheon

birthday. happy. mark.

any creative artworkers on here need work? job going with a big high-street retailer. you'll need some experience, but if you're early in your career, that's cool. freelance with the idea of going perm. drop me a pm.

i think i'm out. we're having to do a last-minute reshoot on something. i'll probably be here all night. enjoy, guys.

only the fatties left ...

oi! watch it!

Pictures of tarts/flan/Captain Picard welcome.

just being neighbourly, like.

pics please.

i likes! i still miss seeing that photo of billions of our bikes on the fence outside carthart when i log on, but this version is definitely more user-friendly

mate, you'd be fine on fixed, i think. depends on numbers and terrain, but i was thinking two groups, 16 mph medium-paced and 18mph+ fast-paced. maybe only medium-paced to start with, until weather improves/numbers go up/we get used to the route/we get collectively fitter.

oh. i should add that i'm also british now. go me.

fffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucccccccccccccckkkkkkkkkkkk!!!!!!!!!!!!! i thought about going past herne hill on my way back from crystal palace today but then opted for coffee at monmouth instead.

there. secret of life. off you go now.

could easily do sundays. or alternate even. we're all busy... the point of a weekly thing is that if you make it one week, great! if not, try for next week. it's easier to fit in. and weekend mornings aren't normally overly busy, so i think we could all probably manage to hold the odd two-hour slot for a bit of a ride.
