what diameter is the seatpost? Will take if it's a 26.4 and not already sold/dibbed. Can pick up in London's famous London

owls, mosques, 531, london's famous london, do a skid ... any other forum memes I've missed?

EDIT: 2k mink coats, obvs.

Cool. Looks like I will be able to make the next one, but not the one after. Pretty bad ratio from me, but I'm reading them all the same.

What is the food theme for Self? Coq Au Vin and oxtail soup?

Older face, new build.

I live in Southampton at the moment. There's only a hand full who ride fixed down here, if any reading this lives here give me a shout.

LOVING that bike! what's the frame?

So Self is next, then Shelley after that?

ok next time.
oh, and you don't need a cog & lockring to tell that. if it has 2 threaded parts on one (or both) side of the hub, then it's fixed. if it's just one thread, it's free. see pic below: left side is fixed, right is free:

the larger thread is for the cog, the smaller one (which is threaded in reverse) is for the lockring

Loving the idea & theme. My work had some cycling kit run up (don't ask), think it wound up at only about 25 quid for a short-sleeved summer jersey in 3 colours - I can look into this if it seems like a good option cost-wise.

Looks like we had it done at a place in Poland. Costs are 25 per jersey (they also make everything from bibs to caps) plus a one-off 150 design and delivery fee. Guess this might vary, as that delivery was to Estonia, and maybe we just do the design part ourselves?

http://www.questsport.pl is the place.

Maybe overnight it and back the next day if the numbers are small and there are a few floors / hostels to crash on /at?

BTW, a (small) prize to the first person to tell me what my rider number is, in it's simplest form?

EDIT: dammit too slow!!

Great ride. I thought the pace was ok, but I spose planned stops for people playing catch up would be a good idea for next time. IMO slower rides are better suited to warm & sunny days, not brisk spring evenings/nights.

heheh yea, similar glasses, but I don't have a receding hairline :P

Looking for a 26.4 seatpost in decent condition.

Maybe thinking of this?

Maybe you should try this:

It'll give you a vague idea what we're talking about and is aimed at, how do I put this without sounding like a cunt, the general public rather than people who are already obsessed with maths.

It's based around Fermat's last conjectureTheorum but it gives a nice round up of a lot of mathematics over the last few hundred years.

+1 great book. He did a great job of making the (modern) history of maths both concise and interesting to non-mathematicians.

How do you know she was undertaking?

True, don't know for sure. Was just going on the pic from the article -- looked like she was caught between the railings and lorry as it made a left, but not necessarily the case. http://www.ealinggazette.co.uk/ealing-news/local-ealing-news/2009/03/20/cyclist-dragged-under-truck-on-uxbridge-road-64767-23193260/

Still, I stand by the sentiment as a good one to follow when riding.

Read this back at uni:

http://www.abelard.org/turpap/turpap.php

Groundbreaking at the time, but seems a little laboured reading it these days.

cLOUDDEAD

I'll be at Brick Lane for 7.30

Glad she's ok. I think the lesson here is not to undertake lorries unless you're 100% confident that you're going to make it

Nicely done Mattty. Come on the ride the following week instead.

I'm there.

I have a very interesting book called Wittgensteins Poker. Based on the legendary encounter between him and Karl Popper. I also have Turings biography. Myabe I can bring them on the ride and read excerpts from them for those who are interested? ;)

Read that, fun book.

Wiles is an obvious contender but a worthy note must be paid to his singlemindedness early in his career.

Russell is good too, someone I hadn't considered to be honest.

Big fan of Russell, coming from phil/logic background rather than maths myself. Number 1 choice for me would be Wittgenstein. Cambs again though.

Bowing out of the fast-paced ride, and replacing the numbering system with something a little more appropriate ;)

Excellent. Will there be a maths test on this one?

Okay, for the slower paced ride.

The maths connection is Andrew Wiles, for those in the know, Cambridge (As his birthplace and the main place of his studies) would have been a more natural choice but there are a few Cambridge rides in the pipeline already.

As Andrew Wiles received his Bachelor's Degree whilst briefy studying in Oxford we will ride there instead.

Wiles - good choice! I would have gone for Bertrand Russell, but he's buried in Cambridge anyway.
