These are both.

They also have quite a distinctive look that for me is filed as fucking ugly

Ah! couldn't actually remember what forks were on there. I could have added a semi colon and closing bracket but didn't want to sour the message.

That all sounds quite sensible, are you ok? colon closing bracket

I can any may just switch it over, lets see how much energy I have after a week on the snow. Also as the only times it's been offroad propper are that time we went out and exactly one year later i'm tempted to wait until the first bank holiday of the year to launch it as a permanent offroader (dear god tynan please don't let me be that silly)

You tart object. What was wrong with the forks that were on the dmr pre rebuild?

I hate this thread, I so want to join you, but i'm such a uselessly disorganised idiot i'll never get my beater fixed up so that my mountain bike can become that rather than a commuter.

I'm going to get involved with the whole streetcar thing, http://www.streetcar.co.uk/, £50 to join and costs as little as a six quid an hour since I have to collect family from the airport on a regular basis, and every so often I have a dirty hankering to buy big shit, which you just can't get back to your house strapped to your back.

I'm signed up to that to use in a pretty similar manner to what you say. It's really good/handy.

Because I commute all the time by bike I find it really frustrating to go anywhere by public transport now and I miss being able to just hop off a routemaster whenever it hit traffic.

Come on mr smith, we all make vanity choices all the time.
I'm for external bb though. It seems like better and simpler solution than all previous bb's. It makes me smile when I read on here people trying to work out the voodoo of what bb/crank/hub combo works. I did seem to see a lot of bad feeling towards them at the time, but i've not had any problems with it.
I almost went hone as the truvative stylo i'd chosen on vanity was taking an age to arrive.
As for not seeing chainring bolts, dmr make an external type crank that holds the ring on with lockring on the axel too. I thought that looked nice and beefy. But i think traditional style is probably better as you have a larger range of chainrings to go for, and can get a steel one which should hold up to abuse better than than an alu ring you'd be stuck with with middleburn/dmr. Again probably some kind of falacy.

curiosity.

I was building a ss mtb and it was little extra effort/cost to get a back wheel that I could try fixed

and nitrile gloves don't have to be blue. Mine are a biegey/grey colour

Not sure if this is wise, but don't we the forum own a unipack that Jos never tested to death on the mean streets. If your friend is enjoying the cuisine at the nhs hotel perhaps this could be loaned to them, ensuring another stay soon.

@ mr chees vid post

Isn't that quite funny? It shouldn't have happened but he stood his ground because he knew his case and they had to walk away. No harm done and those two cops furthered their knowledge of the law.

Yes I guess the brummie acent helps witht he ammusement.

@ rpm

Ok. I've been lucky.
Catch 22 for the more unfortunate I guess.
Still can't condone anger for (or killing, nice one chris) the people who are supposed to be protecting us. A positive move has to be made on one side to start to rectify the problem.
Here's hoping my life continues in such a sheltered manner.

@ rpm
Nope.

My impression is that people are mostly angry about being called to question over petty crime infractions like speeding, rlj, having a bit of weed. And theres a simple solution to that.

London last 6 years. Bournemouth 1 year, Plymouth 3.5 years, some shit hole farmers town in somerset that was the most depressing place on earth 1.5 years, village near Wolverhampton 15 years, village near Stoke 4 years.

Never in the 1950s.

Dunno. Never been aware of any guarian following me keeping real life from getting at me.

I've never understood cop hate from the mass populace (sp?). Sure occasions of misuse of force can irk, but really how often are the police giving you grief? I've never had any involvement with any police, surely it's a small percentage of the people very rarely. So by that thinking only criminals should have any real reason to hate cops, and thats fine because we all hate criminals right?

And petty crime and more important things. All crimes need policing. If the petty crimes don't get policed due to more important crime, then with no penalty or deterent the petty crimes ceace to be crime, like bicycle theft.

sorry for the hijack but i was drafting a lorry on marylebone rd. last night and a copper pulled me over. he said it was illegal - is it illegal? i thought it was just a bit dangerous, but not illegal.

HWC 66 has not ride close behind another vehicle. But it is a should not a must so isn't a law just a safety sugestion.

Stopping distances HWC 126 don't seem to be a law thing either.

snap gogosama :)

Well look at the rest of their bikes, and the size of 'production runs'. The only two sensible bikes in their stable are the gangsta and park bike. And they are the only two built in large numbers, the others are them having a laugh because they want to and can.

Just ordered those

with 50% off, can't really go wrong (i hope)

I have them and use them as pictured :/ Make sure you can use your brake with just the one loose finger. I can't. I have to use first two or middle two otherwise the lever hits my knuckles. Alternatively I'd have to have half my hand off the bar.

here's one

Damn it.

I may pop in tomorrow as I need to grab some stuff, perhaps we might manage an impromptu forum meet.

good night.

I should have also capitalised the road names and Kleins, whilst also spelling it correctly. And perhaps have looked up the road name rather than just type my stream of conscious :)

there is another one towards bond street too but they are a bit fancier.

on dering street I think

You could try kliens the habbadeshers on the top road between wardour and berwick. Noel street I think. They stock bits like that.

Of the choice of finishes he mentions on his site i would say it is patina

which would be what Nahguavkire said
