I've got some pics

30 miles

There's a place up in Milton that everyone gets their frames done , powdercoating or spraying ,doing all the prep and beadblasting its cheaper than the paint and nitromores to do it yourself .I can't remember their name as i only have chrome frames, Rick of Bicycle ambulance uses them a lot .

Paul Components lever,

i saw you on newmarket road the other day , red and blue not red and black ! is that not a Paris head badge or Claud Butler?

new winter plumage , wanting a white rolls or turbo to top it all off but not wanting to spend £££££££'s. New Dura ace hubs are like butter knobs and butterflys

Wotcha Honky , welcome ! The Cambridge Fixed thing is gaining momentum and is very diverse and not exclusive.If you're about on a thursday night drop by and say hello, after 9pm we're usually boozing in the Maypole being insular and petty.

I think we need to start a 'post yer bikes' thread..

I agree but can we call it "Pictures of Lily" ,my fave Who track from when i was a kid which i later discovered to my horror was all about wanking.

We should do a Nasty ride which includes an Ugley stop over. Sounds beautiful. I've been to Twat in Orkney,which was like finding my spiritual home. We could organize an Ugley Twat time-trial event this summer to raise money for my wallet .

Spotted, today some guy on a red Colnago ,fixed going up Maids Causeway this morning , didn't get a chance to check whether it was a conversion or not .It looked sweet as, though . Also spotted a red and black painted old something badged frame ,fixed on newmarket road . I couldn't get a good view or say hello as i was in my works transit, but are any of you on here?

Captain Anders' route :

Lagavulin shortage is a reflection of the credit crunch affecting thursday night rides, we'll be drinking Tescos own brand or Bells in the park soon.

Last night's sortie fucked my left knee.
Would like to do some Sundays if it's nice weather . It would be good if a route was planned and agreed on and posted in advance with a date especially if i don't have to do it. Maybe take the train out to somewhere or further (if anything exhists out beyond here). Can we have a picnic and an old fashioned gramaphone player and a grouse shoot with air rifles from the recycling centre?

Knock on everyone's door in your block and threaten them nicely

My mate Rick in Cambridge , small but perfectly formed

I can't do it tonight , one of my kids is staying for a few days and i stabbed the fridge trying to defrost it ,all the cfc's escaped . Angelo's lent me one rescued from the dump . But full of mold. My emmenthals gone bendy . Hope the bastard gets cold soon.

Didn't miss much . Lilly Cole joined our little outing on her new black Nagasawa , we all went round hers after and shot up watching Mash vids .

It would be not so bad to cycle back, non? Or do you intend sampling Much Hadham's infamous alehouse ?

Nice to meet you mr Marxist fixsie

Better some self harm and a bag of salt 'n vinegar crisps , always works for me

The finest lowest standards carefully selected and brought to you every thursday. people are just turning up with a spoke , or a single chain link . Minimal or what ?

Quality Pics.....Mint Skyways!
I've still got a couple of the chrome blue bombers they're hard to find now.

I think it's either a matter of pride that the route isn't decided until the last 10 seconds before we leave OR there is some kind of covert secret procedure to eliminate the possibility of being followed. Some of our members are in professions of a delicate nature that require they have to turn up an hour late with no lights or the wrong sprocket just to keep any potential surveillance guessing . Will and Jamie hit upon the novel idea of immersing themselves in diesel before they set off. Others have had to resort to more deliberate attempts to disrupt any predictability by breaking off parts of their bikes . Though obviously this can't be repeated too many times without arousing suspicion , it helps having a few spare bikes to break on alternate weeks .
The captain armband is now officially being used as a guide to recognizing the identity of person who might have a better idea of where we are going , but as the armband is bestowed to a new recipient 15 seconds before we leave, its use in route planning is minimal.
The lack of any discipline on the thursdays ride has been the subject of endless unresolved debate . I am of the opinion that we adopt the new "dutch " model of "free-riding" whereby once we can adhere to the "lawless, nihilstic deathwish" approach to cycling. This european modern theory states that it is statistically proven,you are a better road user you should cycle consciously trying to get killed and retrogradially following all aspects the highway code . This was piloted late on saturday night and findings proved taking a blind corner on the wrong side of the road was safer as it was statistically proved anyone coming in the opposite direction would probably be equally as stupid/pissed/dutch and both parties would pass each other harmlessly.

Sounds sweet !Thanks ,i'll give them a try next time i'm out that way. I'll bring some weapons and some crack to help him close the deal.

Trying to build a bike similar to what my grandad rode in the 30's
Rarer than rocking horseshit ,must have been hi tech then http://www.classiclightweights.co.uk/chaterlea.html

I know that stuff is expensive and invariably shagged. It may take some time, i saw some rusty CL cranks with some worn rings go for 60 quid on ebay last week .

Thought someone might be interested ......

I'm building an old 1930's Chater lea track bike , i've so far got an old quill stem and a frame just looking for everything else . I know they made quite a lot of other parts too at that time, was going to try and source as much age related "Chater Lea" parts as possible . If anyone knows a source or willing to part with some stuff that may be of interest, would be appreciated. I want to use 27' rims and drop bars and no brake.
