(cough) Spare ticket for Finsbury Park, tomorrow, if anyone is interested. PM me.

I like this scheme, a lot. Not sure it would work on a regular frame though.

Just took measurements, after asking me about the kind of riding I'd be doing

I see your point, if the frame was built specifically to my dimensions, why the need for spacers? It could be seen as a bit of a bodge. I'll ask Chas the question if I go back in. I'm 5'8" and on the receipt for the bike it's identified as a Clubman Compact.

^I was told the same thing about mounting fully laden when I was getting measured for the bike. I had no input into geometry decisions as it’s my first tourer, I just said I don’t want to feel stretched when I ride it, as I do with my Plug and did with my Alpinestars and Orange of old.

^^^Is the amount of head tube sticking up above top tube purely an aesthetic thing or are there handling implications? Handling feels fine to me, any wobbles I think are me just getting used to drop bars.

Just searched for the spacer porn thread. Could no find.

Spare ticket for Finsbury Park, Friday, if anyone is interested. PM me.

Cheers, yes very chuffed. It rides even better than it looks. I've got a Belgium trip at the end of the month so can't wait to get some miles on it. I started off looking at Raleigh and Ridgeback tourers, but ended up talking myself into spending a shed load more on this beauty. Best decision.

Picked up my Clubman at the weekend

I bloody loved the builder who had just knocked a wall through and legged it off to Warrington Hall to queue for a ticket. And the shot of the guys outside that didn't get in. Absolute class. I thought the Q&A would take away some of the magic, I didn't want to know how they made the film, you can have too much Roses...

Yes. Saw it at the Renoir tonight, excellent film, I had a smile on my face all the way through. My girlfriend is not a Roses fan and she loved it too. Didn't bother staying for the Q&A. Looking forward to Finsbury Park now.

shut up

Started taking Cycle Superhighway 7 to work recently. This is my new favourite thread.

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who took the time to fill in my bike cafe survey, the input has been valuable. If anyone is interested here is a summary of the responses I received through LFGSS (40 responses in 4 days was more than I expected). One of the things I've decided is that I will probably have to rethink the location, no dramas, on with the project. Watch this space.

Internet comment of the day:

“Nice to see he dressed up for the photo! Scruffy git! Would you want to eat something he's prepared? No, nor me!”

bridges or fugitives?

All set, light em up

They are at lincoln and spruce!

We have a large industrial park here, workers trying to get in
-does it compromise the perimeter?
Yes it compromises the perimeter
-then don't let them in

(what the fuck am I doing?!)

I'm ashamed of myself, I'm enjoying listening to the police radio. Not because of what I can hear, but what I might hear.

Keep us updated on the wee, Hippy

Why don't they encrypt their communications?

Interesting thread...

What about having a look at www.escapethecity.org/? They have many events and willing advisors from people who have started up their own thing - many of which are food related.

Just looking at escapethecity now. It looks like a useful resource, have you had any experience with the site?
