Would anyone happen to know if the Surly Steamroller has toe-overlap in the 48-50cm frame sizes?

(I would go and test ride one, but at 6'2" I might get laughed at.)

Aiming for six.

Oh quit whinging with your lovely sleek straight hair that'll shed helmet head with a Pantene-flick. I've got curly hair and I wear my cyclists tri-hawk with pride.

The combination of grade two buzzcut and a Spesh 2D helmet result in a very fetching set of paralell grooves after a longish ride- looks like my hair has been plowed.

Classy.

Has anyone lost a Vivalo recently?

I seem to recall someone left theirs outside the pub and then could not find it again, but I may have the wrong make!

I confess- I can track stand (right foot forwards, bars turned right) for quite a while on a bike with a freewheel.

On fixed I have yet to crack the knack.

BeUnlimited and O2 are one and the same- O2 bought them a little while ago.

The tech behind the up to 24Megabit/Sec stuff was pretty cutting edge when they started it.
I had a word with one of their tech's when I was investigating it and was put off when he said that their contention ratio was "open", i.e. they would stick as many people on one circuit as they wanted.
This may have changed now.

Personally for home broadband I'd recommend Zen- they know their stuff.
Or if you are in their area and don't mind horrifying customer service the Virgin Media cable/Foptic DSL is good but expensive.

Early meaning very early, need to save some pennies ahead of my hols next week

I'll be down for a quick one I expect, but will have to leg it early.

i would like to go but have no MTB...

If you promise not to break mine (or fix it if you do) you can borrow mine if you would like?

Would have loved to have joined you for this one- but I'll be in The Wales.

More than happy to go out later in the month?

I second the request for photo's.

Sorry I only made it too Central, South, North and East- I still got into an unenviable amount of trouble when I got home in such an advanced state of "refreshment"!

now at east, where is everyone else?

no offence taken, anyone else coming down?

cunt.

me?

Heading up from Southwark now, I will read my book for a while!

i will be at the foundry, and have a reason to celebrate, so come one come all.

What time will you be there?

Anyone in the mood for a beer tonight?

Witness the speed of the VV...

Looks like the fork steerer is threaded- if it is then you need a quill stem and threaded headset.
If it is an italian frame then you will have an italian threaded bottom bracket- I believe (but do not pretend to know) that this will be wider than the standard 68mm British so you could tell by measuring it.
Please let me know if this is not true!

Normally a girl at the junction just before one gets to On Your Bike London Bridge, waiting on the ped section holding a Felt that is built up (or seems to be when I go past) as a fixed, deep V's etc.
Who dat?
SE to SC btw.

One of these?

Where would I get one if so?

Just bought the h2o that Dog's recommends, lets see if it lives up to the hype.

That said even if it does I'm still going to be taking a spare pair of strides in my bag.

Shit. Heartbreaking stuff.

Makes me wonder whether we can set up a fund that acts like insurance... I doubt it, but I wish we could.

We could try some of the insurance companies and see what they say in terms of an FGSS policy- the forum has approx 3,000 members now?

Personally I pay £675 for my "out of house" insurance just to cover my bikes, I am sure that an insurance company would be over the moon to get 10% of this forum, even at £100 less than other companies are offering.

I'd be happy to contact a few if people were interested?

That aside- Elquapo, if you can ride a 57cm feel free to borrow mine until you can buy your own again.

NB- make sure it does not get nicked!

Stevo did you end up making these?

My Geoffrey Butler seems to have the most slippery dropouts in the world- I'm getting busy with a 15mm spanner after every ride at the moment...

I would be delighted to give you some readies if you have gone beyond the prototype stage?

If I was taking the piss I would have stood by my comment, this is a forum.... what do I have to lose?

Our respect.
