Wonderful riding with the SouthEastTweeds! Hope you all enjoyed the day as much as I did. From Hermit's Cave to BGWMC it was a thoroughly 531 experience.
Sorry to miss the evening festivities - hope you all got back to the safety of the south ok.
See you all tuesday!

Throughly elating to see some good old bonhomie returning to the heart of Blighty! Well done chaps and chappettes, here's to the next one, aye!

Great - see you there. Even non-moustachioed denizens are welcome.

Gonna try and swing by around 7.30 tonight - hopefully there'll still be someone there.

I might also suggest joining with Souths for a drink en route & form a tweed clad ultra group to storm north of the river.

Can the twain meet at Vauxhall or somewhere on the way? Or maybe that's a logistical frustration waiting to be reified...

you left out guys aged 26-34, which is the main demographic of LFGSS

Hopefully that was purposeful.

How about
'For hearty chaps seeking camaraderie, thirst-slaking and all manner of bicycle related japes, look no further and esconce yourself in the snug of the Hermit's Cave, this coming Saturn's day at noon.'

See you there!

Sorry to hear this guys, and thanks for the warning. I've been cutting through VP a bit at night - never seen anyone though - guess I'll stop now. Also got bored of having to jump fences when the main gates have been shut earlier than I thought.

On peckham, it really seems to vary - mostly is fine, but I've had a few close calls and VanUden was attacked right by the end of my road.
Maybe we should all start riding around in packs of 15 with polo mallets ;-)
Stay safe people.

SS I've just texted your number thing - I won't be getting lots of solicitations from Nigerian bankers now will I? (That's Numberwang!)

PS Tom, you are a hipster... ;p

I refute that! I only score 3 out of a possible 25 on this:

Will, I've now figured out why I thought your alias might be a reference to law enforcers - it's a combination of 'Wiggum' - being the chief in the Simpsons, which has now passed into some slang as reference to the boys in blue generally - and 'Will' = 'Old Bill' of the original cockney derivation.

A little convoluted, I'll grant you, but I felt it best to explain my wrong-headed assumption with some form of reasonable logic.

= Forum name understanding fail

Yeah, you'd never get a 'spok at SE beers. There's an anti-hipster forcefield around the king's arms.

PS - guess I can't say I don't post now.

Damn Sharky you're quicker than me! I will now just have to echo that post and say likewise good to meet all the above other than 50 who was a re-acquaintance, but how could we not mention those wheels? Make sure you keep them tied to something Paul, or you'll be like a child who watches helplessly as their helium balloon drifts off in the wind.

It seems a gang of cheroot venders consider a haircut beyond the limit of my abilities!

Final shout on these - price dropped to £30 no cleats.
If there's no takers they're going in the 'bay!

SE Tonight - FTW!

You'll be lonely if you do geoffers! SE beers happens tuesday - it'd be good to catch you then. Of course you could always go to South drinks on monday (C&H Clapham park rd) if your thirst needs slaking before then.
Glad to see you're planning your week in advance though!

Never fallen due to pedals, although did come close when I used to ride some old Look road pedals that had about 0.1 degree of lateral float. I find it's more likely to be the opposite problem with SPDs. Maybe I need to try these ATACs that seem so pop'lar.

free postage also .....

Fair point, I wasn't aware of the chain reaction price. I based my price on what I paid for the shoes - £55 at edwardes plus £10 for the cleats. Given that the shoes are in near perfect condition (though technically used) I thought my price was fair.
Like most good peckham traders I'm always open to offers ;-)

I've got a vintage 531 CB road frame 56" that I'm not doing much with. It's stripped and ready for repainting. Depends how cheap you're after though as I'd want £65 for the frame, forks and headset.

Bought these a size too big as couldn't get my size - wore them just enough to decide they really are too big for me. They're still almost boxfresh - soles are hardly touched and insoles not worn or marked at all.
Still in original box with all tags (removed) and screw-in shoe plate covers (not cutaways so can be swapped back for clips and straps).

£30 without cleats.

Can arrange meet/pick-up within central London or bring to a drinks. Will also post if preferred providing buyer pays postage.

Nice SE intro for me too. Good to make some new acquaintances - Sharkstar, Tommy, Fast Eddy and probably some others.
@ Jonny - there's a guiness voucher for you to redeem next week.
I'll try to stick around for longer next week. Anyone up for a Tower Bridge TT? ;-)

Hope to swing by early yes.
