what are the pick ups? are they emg 81 and 85?

Y'know what, I'm not actually sure. I have a vague memory of an 81 and an 89 but I'd have to check. Can you tell by looking at the front?

Mornin'.

Dunno if anyone is a metal guitar geek up on this thread but I have a bit of history for sale here. It's a handbuilt guitar by Doug of Black Machine, the guitars played by Meshuggah and SikTh and all kinds of other good stuff. Doug's an old mate of mine and this is the guitar that he always referred to as Black Machine #1. Though I bet he said that to all the boys.

Anyway, it could very well be worth many times as much as I'm selling it for here, due to its history, but personally I think there's nothing sadder than an unplayed instrument, and I can't stand people who see guitars as nothing but investments, so this one is for sale.

It's got EMG active pickups, gold hardware, only ever been toured once and flightcased the whole time. It's got a few scratches on the back - which you'd expect with a 10 year old unvarnished guitar - but it still looks fantastic and plays beautifully.

Price is £1500 or would consider swapping for a Gretsch hollowbody plus cash. Kickass.

Is this still available? I have a chum or two interested.

The Orlowski "lo pros" are made in this way, don't see any reason why not as long as the headtube isn't set at some weird angle.

Aesthetically you might end up with more space between the front wheel and the frame than is normal, but I think that could be remedied by using straight forks.

I've just put my Raleigh up for sale again. It's £250 so under your budget, but is nice. Changes since then: now has a brake and some slightly more sensible bullhorns, with Oury grips. Safety safe.

Dibs on the Accordion. PM to follow.

Would you consider putting it all back together again?

Some young "braaap braaap braaap" style rapper. He's been in the underground for quite a while, I saw him supporting The Streets around 2006, but he seems to be going mainstream. You will very shortly hear his song "Just be good to green" everywhere.

He'll probably want to remove that battle off YouTube with Jin where he literally could think of nothing to say. Ouch.

My homegirl was asked to pitch for one of the pope gigs. She's usually to be found making large scale rock gigs happen. I said if she got the gig she'd have to make satin jackets with POPEFEST 2010 on the front and a picture of the pope on the back giving the thumbs up,wearing a leather jacket and rocking the Wayfarers.

I'm still waiting for my jacket. She's doing Birmingham.

I always found bepanthan a bit thick to apply while it's still flaking but my girlfriend uses it from the go.

I always found this until I got the tip to soak the tube in a sink of hot (not boiling) water for about ten minutes before you apply it. Thins it right out.

Lol I always thought GA2G was going to be this really dorky skinny dude who loved lists, not someone who looked like he could kick your ass without thinking twice about it. Awesome.

Oh god I just remembered. On Thursday I saw this girl in a purple catsuit clambering onto a beige fixed with brown bartape on Dalston Kingsland Road. I doubt you're on here but if you are, apologies for the girls I was with - they wanted us to be wed.

FanTAStic look though. I'm off to rock the same thing this weekend. Amazing.

Sounds like a great idea except for leaving bait bikes unlocked. I'd hope that these types of bikes would be the minority since the people I want caught are the cunts who saw through locks, not pissed up twattish students.

actually I'm meant to be making dinner as we speak - can we make it tomorrow or Thurs? Any time after 6. Kickass.

Lovely stems there loafheads, nice spot. So shiny!

I think I'll go with Rik's offering here though. Rik, can you meet me on the corner of Church St and the High St?

Not seeing any stems there loafheads?

Rik - not too bothered on reach length but the vertical length (not sure of the correct terminology) has to be quite small - it's to go on a Lo Pro.

Either something nice or something cheap. Clamp size pref. 25.4 but tbh bigger isn't a big deal - can always shim. What have you?

I actually saw a guy today who put his long d long through the rails on his saddle, then locked the thing below the rear triangle on the frame. You'd have to be sure your saddle was up high enough but it kept the thing in place quite nicely.

Lichen is amazing. What I thought was really beautiful about Lichen is that it's totally related to Wyndham's life - he fell in love with a schoolteacher quite late in life and she had chosen career over having a family. That whole book is a wish on his part to have youth over again for his wife. It's yearningly beautiful.

Not that anyone's asking for my opinion but I think it looks much nicer now. Fine work.

I've just been a little bit sick in my mouth.

quill risers = the devils work

bite me

if you need one - it means your bike doesn't fit you properly

bite me

well just put it on the wall and look at it if the love is that strong. Then buy a frame that fits.

Nick/Jersey/crimson - awesome. Thanks to you fine fellows, google is now MY bitch, as opposed to the other way around.

bmx_fred - couldn't agree more. Awesome build.

Good spot. The Nitto ones are surprisingly ugly but that at least gives me something to search for. Aren't BMX stems usually like 7/8s or something weird like that?

I've seen a bunch of ugly ones - those ones with rubbish brazing and a really obvious join. Really need something a bit closer to the sleekness of a normal stem. Something like this:

Been looking for a while for a nice one and I've not seen shit thus far. I've seen 'em on bikes but never in shops. Any suggestions?

Certainly agree with the sentements about capoeira
YouTube- Capoeira Fail

That's from a film. I know a few dudes who do capoeria as a hobby and I'd put 'em against 99% of people who'd start a ruck in the streets, mostly because they're so fit as a result of it.

Personally I've done a few martial arts and the only one which really had a decent application on the streets was that Israeli thing, Krav Maga. It's totally brutal and thuggish but it's simple to learn and sticks with you. You don't need to be hyperfit to use it either.
