I think I spotted/threw a late wave at Butter Fingaz on Victoria Embankment this morning.
Euan, was that you?
Yeah Rich that was me! I saw the delayed recognition on your face too =)...Threw a late wave myself, probably looked like I was signalling wildly to whoever was behind me...nice morning for a ride

It's not so hard isn't it? it always seemed worse than it is.
as for front brake, just get the cheapest Shimano one (like 105), you don't need that much stopping power on road than on MTB, it's more than enough once set-up properly.
is it just me or have shimano 105 brakes doubled in price recently?

budda that looks like a decent tricking bike. Looks very tidy ! Nice job.
Is it the same colour, or very similar to your old one ?
haha, yep same colour as the old one (RAL 5015 I think) but this one's got a metallic flake...i hadn't intended this build as trick-type bike at all but it does kinda look that way! now, just need to learn some tricks ;-)

New build finished last night. Frame is a Swobo Sanchez, powdercoated blue metallic, and I rattle-canned the forks. Wasn't too convinced about frames with sloping top tubes until I built this up ;-)
Gave it its first test-ride this morning, it is super-comfortable, the geometry seems pretty good for me (although may swap the stem out soon). Makes a perfect little commuter/runaround, and feels like it will be great for longer rides too. Gotta sort out a few things though, new front wheel possibly, and play around with the chain and rear wheel a bit (too far back in the dropouts at the mo).

Vestax ftw! I absolutely love the VCI-100 but have never bought myself one as I always seem to spend the money on bikes and skis instead...but Traktor Pro is my software of choice, the new effects abilities are pretty sick.
In case you're interested, I've got an M-Audio Fast Track Pro to sell, mint condition, basically unused and really very good indeed. Retails at £135 but you can have it for £85 or thereabouts, been meaning to shift it for ages! Here's a link: http://www.dolphinmusic.co.uk/product/7475-m-audio-fast-track-pro.html

Although I often say how much flickr pisses me off I still use it occasionally, and have a real love/hate thing going on with it...so anyway here you go: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ewanp/ ...but no super-saturated HDR (well, maybe one ;-), or photos of kittens, babies or food with horrendous accompanying poetry. grrr!

Chronics are awesome.
these are replacements for some Rossignols I broke, fixed and sold.
probably the best skis I've ridden. they are fucking so poppy its unreal, and weigh like 10kg.I like Line, nice company.
I hope you are going to ski bartlett (unless you can persuade purple tom on here to give a discount at that place in Covent Garden) cos they are the nicest people ever, well worth the trek of a ride to Fuxbridge.Mmm yeah need to give bartletts a call to see if we can work something out, ellis brigham are doing chronics and dynastar px 12s for around £330, but thinking about different bindings...maybe marker griffons, are they on your blends?
