well, that's me out then, as I'll be in Helsinki for a wedding :(

that website is horrible. couldn't even find a date. when is it?

I'll stop by after my de-hairing by the city barbers. Be there around 7:20.

And yes, getting the train out. woop woop for suddenly living somewhere reasonable.

If you're up for leisurely rolling to waterloo, give me a shout ... I am however not going to do what you call "ride", because that would mess me up for afterwards ... :p

Right, in the bin they go!

Andy, you didn't reply to my last pm?

"Ciao" on Charing Cross road ... a bit hectic, but they did supply me with a decent Spaghettieis yesterday, and seem to be very popular with the chinese kids that come down from chinatown.

Hmm, need to get my front derailleur fixed before that :/

andy?

Ehrm .. Old wheels ... steel I guess.

two old 27" wheels, rear one a bit untrue and with a rusty 5 speed casette.
If anyone needs them, they need to go this weekend or they go into the bin.

Pick up from se15.

I have a rack:

Hello, this is still lying around and needs to go .... bump

This has been given to me in exchange for a twenty which I sort of donated.
Since then it's just been sitting around in the yard, it's way too small for me and my girlfriend doesn't like small wheels. I finally wanna use my lock again.
For a small adult or child I guess.

Would do swapsies against tools, parts, money or beer.

Collection only from SE15.

btw, what about BMX brakes? They might be too wide for normal rims, I guess?

The guy there said they'd work on for 700s on 27 frames ...

I need some as well.
Are those dia compe any good?

Also, if I have a ladies bike, and the cable on the back brake is pulling from the bottom, is there any dual pivot that do this?

if I get a wine gum of equal diameter as that chainring I shall go up the hill faster ... thinking about it ... maybe not ...

SSTC "Snack Mix"
Sunday 13th June
Meet at Waterloo 12.00 at the ticket office for groupsaver. Leaving with the 12.30 arriving at Effingham at 13.40.

http://www.bikemap.net/route/511152 50 miler, starts mild with a few lumps for warming up, a good stretch of flat, rolling, downhills, and just a couple of proper climbs....

Highlight of the day? .....Leith/Coldharbour > Ranmore.

Like usual some parts of the route will be new, so some treasure hunting/exploring might be involved.
The ride is backstopped, no one is left behind... the top guys have fun on the front and the rest laugh at the behind... we will regroup at junctions.
Weather check day before.
Pub at the end for refreshment.

ALL WELCOME!! ..females, males, lesbians, homosexuals, bisex, straights(boring), ladyboys(only fully lycra please), weirdos, mentalist, anal-retentives and fuckers!
VIP gangs members? HELL NO! They can just fuck off once for all!

so who the hell is in?

List 1: Riding out/meeting at Train station

List 2: Train
1) marco
2) damo
3) pascalo

that guy cracked me up, too thick to use a camera, and afterwards making weird comments all the time and burping loudly while I stood next to him ... seriously whacky old fella, I think he was past the point where you care about anything!

Hello all,

my g/f and I are discussing the next big trip, and our heart is set on Vermont, Upstate NY, maybe Maine and a trip over to Montreal.

Now my better half doesn't cycle much at all, but I would be keen to fit good tours in if I can rent a road bike somewhere etc. I would of course have to cater for her as well and plan walks, arty stuff etc.

Is anyone on here who knows those areas and can give valuable hints and tips?

Saw that in SF for the first time ... so cool!

I always thought that was under-sugar or "bonking"?

Gearless: As far as I am concerned, hurling a heavy bike like that up the hill just earns you more respect ... that's all I wanted o say.
While it's nice to splash out, I don't think you need to spend a lot on a road bike necessarily. I am sure that with a bit of timing you could pick up some old racer for under £250 or so. Question is: Are you allowed to have another bike?

For the record, Gearless Society used a (geared) mtb with front suspension.
I reckon you get yourself a road bike, you'll be alright.

yup ... leg pain kicking in now.
