Eery cycling museum but also sell some second hand bits, nothing amazing mind but old as the hills and good for a rummage, some of the stuff they have is pretty cool as well.

When me and my mate rolled up and started locking out bikes up the lady who ran the place showed us a brilliant anti theft device whereby you flick a catch on your saddle when you leave it unattended and if anyone tries to sit on it up pops an almighty spike.

My pleasure, it was either that or do my write my project Journal paper, obviously I prioritize well.

Damn, I think I've missed out on getting the £££s for producing that shirt.. dibs on a cut of the money that shirt makes, if it's ever made

Can we get that picture of OOL on the first page with the immortal words 'do you know who I am?' emblazoned across it?

Why was this not a T Shirt design idea?

On a cycling holiday in Holland met a hard as nails guy talking about finding your ratio if you wanted to use fixed or single speed on the street, it planted a seed and a year later I had my first fixed wheel bike, plus it's cool.

Or one about the Lake of Darkness.
Famous flounces.

just gone from uber spinney 39:16 to 44:16 up here in Edinburgh and really noticed it riding into the wind this morning.

Could you not ask them? Or are you asking as to whether they are any good at it?

I was thinking that, also this might be a better spot then a new thread but it's started now. £60 should be fine for a rear wheel.

£140 frame and fork is pretty good for a decent frame.

40 Cornish miles is equivalent to about 80 London miles....

+1, took the geared bike for a week in the summer for some cycling, surfing action. Did not realise how hilly it was until on the first day we hit a 30%er within the first 5 miles, should of stuck a compact on the front.

Yes, I would put that patch on my bag, I would also like a keep right road sign style patch for my bag.

Vans 'fixed gear' eras, not super cheap but could be alright if noone else bids.

£30 postage, not cool man.

Do you have any bearings left? You should be able to take one along to your freindly lbs to measure I believe.

Can someone make an 'I am Paul-Michel' T shirt.

Heh, I know exactly what you mean, maybe it's just self-deceipt, since I don't have the dough to buy a proper one now... So the plan is, gradual replacement of parts and eventually the frame, which might in the long run actually end up as a blessing, since I probably won't learn as much about bikes if I had bought a 'proper' OTP.

Since I don't have the tools yet, a bike shop installed the new BB, and it seems there's a stiff spot with each turn of the crank (both directions), is this normal or have they messed up the installation?

Your chainline may be to tight and your chain binding, try and slacken it off a little bit and see how it runs.

There's no stops on the ends, using a bb lockring to set it so far left or so far right you can adjust your chainline, not bad for a tenner (plus P&P)

you know the saying, it like enjoying decaf for the rest of your life until you had the real thing? same concept, the bike isn't bad, until you have a proper bike (that actually been designed properly) is when you realise how bad the unipack is.

Yeah, if he thinks a unipack is OK, imagine when he jumps on a decent bike he'll be blown away, probably the only thing a unipack is good for.

it's a unipack, there are plenty of threads regaling there integrity. Upgrade everything (you'll end up needing to anyway) and then buy a new frame and move all the good bits over, sell frame as scrap.
