I think I see a L-Pomp in my very near future, that 199 deal is too good to pass up really. Still dislike that fork though but ah well.

How are these things riding fixed? Pedal strike and what-not.

Don't suppose there are any 56 framesets for sale anywhere??

Reckon a sleeve would work? It's a pretty high stress area. I really have no idea! Heading to Melbourne in 3 weeks for CMWC so need something sharpish!

Oh and don't worry about the seatpost now hahah!

Yeah, DT near the BB. Just jumped on it after a pick up, put the power down up the hill and then it felt like I was riding a wet noodle!!! Thought I'd busted a pedal at first but unfortunately not, it's cracked almost the whole way around.

Shit timing too, leaving for Melbourne and the CMWC in 3 weeks and can't afford a new frame (unless something ridiculously cheap comes up)

Sucks so much because I've fallen more and more in love with this bike as I've been working on it these last 6 months, amazing frame.

Goodnight sweet Orange Donohue, you obviously just couldn't handle the messenger beatings...

@tommmmmmm

Such a shit work bike.. The Reiker was waaaay better!

That dude you sold it too sprayed it black. Now Pat owns it.

Also @PinkGottiMobbs is a big fanny, but I still love you.

Does Pat still own that Bauer?

I need to come up and go for a ride - when's the track sessions on up there?>

Na he sold it, to some dude in CHCH I think.

Best film evaaaaar

around 3pm today, guy in Look mum no hands cap, at the Castle Climbing center, looked like he'd be off here, only a forumunger would climb in a cycling cap! You were chatting with your lady friend or I would have said hi.

Wouldn't leave a bike anywhere near that station. See if there are any bike parking spots in the St Georges car park, less likely to have little scrotes hanging around in there. + security cameras/staff might = more peace of mind.

No ruler or tape measure?! ha

Put a brake on that doesn't do anything, what's the point?

Ask the Japanese..

Ah sweet, should be fine then yeah, cheers!

Haaa! I'm glad I'm not the only one that feels that way, Chak!

It's still damn addictive though..

Figured I might as well put this here instead of making a new thread..

I've got a 19t on the back of my fixed at the moment, I want to put an 18t on, just wondering if I might have to change the chain too.. how much difference does 1 tooth make to chain length??

Were you in London? And which company?

Na, Auckland NZ.

Any chance of a close up pic of the 3ttt black stem @Carotina is it 25.4 or 26?

Jumbo!! The man is an absolute machine, been at a couple of CMWC's with him.

Videos like this always glamorize being a messenger, yeah it's great fun and you meet some very cool and interesting people but you have to put up with the shit too, wet/cold days, lousy pay (depending on where you work), injuries, people hating you for no apparent reason.. and you tend to get 'stuck' in it too, I've tried numerous times to leave it behind but it's too addictive!!

Hmm... working in a Hostel could be a go'er.. also helps initially with accommodation too

@bazschmaz

Unfortunately nothing that really requires any kind of skill.. I was a messenger in Auckland NZ for the last 10 years, also worked for one of the wholesalers over there (WH Worrall & CO) who distribute Sram, Campy, GT and Cannondale to name a few.

Basically, I do bikes... but I'm not an old dog and can certainly learn new tricks!

Anyone have any contacts or anything for work up there? I fancy moving up there, and will pretty much do anything that pays the rent and for my beans on toast..

Where is that pink scary thing?
