Scot is it possible to visit you sometime to try on and take a look at some stuff because i'm not sure if I would like an archie or the slightly smaller one and since i'm a pretty big bloke I would like to know how those two bags fit me as well, and if anything would need to be enlarged or made differently to fit someone of my build etc before I decide which I want to purchase.

try multimap.com, sometimes better than googlemaps as they show more detail such as car parks etc

I am so damn tempted to build up my ol fit bmx frame, the more I see other people ride, the more it makes me want to get back to it....hmmmm can I get away with another bike stashed in my office though lol.

Really? I thought it was a job requirement at Foxtons to be an arsehole, must have been a change in policy......
I work at an estate agents in Shoreditch, end up doing a bit of everything sometimes but i'm mainly there to handle their marketing and photography, every decent agent in London hates foxtons for giving estate agents in general a bad name, I would organise a special leaving party if the shoreditch branch finally shuts and stops just making job cuts, I hardly see any of their cars about anymore, I wonder why.....

thinking of selling ed, eh!

Nope I never said that, but there are plenty of rude and cuntish people on this forum though, thankfully i've never encountered them out in the 'real' world, all the people I have met so far off this forum have been flippin awesomem. Especially jimbobbillybobhillbilly, crabtree 'The' chris, ollie 'I speak a hundred langauges' Shick, Cornelius 'beigel addict' blackfoot, and of course bristly 'boombox' pioneer, I have met several other people but their names don't lend themselves to alliteration as nicely as the above.....

hmmmm this is all so much fun, I just killed an hour reading this whole thread that I had intended to spend down the gym doing something more productive. I don't know pistanator nor have I ever met him, I have however met Dean and chatted to him on a few occasions, (trixiedix, macaframa afterparty etc) and he is a sound bloke. Never heard him be rude or cuntish to anyone while i've been around, but maybe thats cos the people that were around at the time weren't rude or cuntish people either, I think this whole drama that has unfolded on here is pretty fucking funny, and to be honest I think Deans responses and how seriously some of you guys are taking them only make it even funnier!
Some of you people need to chill the fuck out, others need to just keep doing what you're doing, quality entertainment, I was almost in tears reading some of those puns haha!

The stylishness and smoothness that is.... The man the myth the legend Mike Aitken: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=kTcT2Ev2VHc

Interesting Beth, you are about 30 seconds from my office, i'll have to pop by and check it out, we should grab some lunch sometime soon, it was great meeting you tonight and helping with the whole skidding thing!

paaaaaajamas phil rolling up bethnal green road at 8:50am, I was on my way into work picking up some dry cleaning!

For anyone wanting to learn how to skid, tomorrow nights weather conditions should prove ideal!

I'll be down, and Nosferatu, sorry for calling you a cunt on that war topic previously, I visited Israel and the Gaza strip quite a few years back, and its a subject that I guess brings out some anger having seen firsthand how devastating such a conflict can be to both the palestinians and Israelis, its something i'll happily talk about in person, but i'm bowing out of discussions on here about it.

Fred made the best point above, those in power pretty much refuse to negotiate with Israel, how many times have you heard of peace talks breaking down, or treaties being broken, the palestinian powers that be have never tried to do whats in the best interests of the palestinian people, hence the many seperatist groups fighting against hamas also because they are outraged at the situation they are being forced to live in. My heart goes out to the palestinian people but not to scum like hamas for making things worse.

Pretty offensive!......haha is that your opinion also? and what is that based on, I can guarantee you'll find more Israeli supporters out there than for the immature idiots currently screwing over palestine and themselves.

By the way please don't take this as me being pro american etc, my views on Iraq and Afghanistan are completely different, I think we should have left well alone, It was blatantly an Oil stealing and Money making opportunity on america/englands part because they knew the economy was about to get wrecked, and also because well.....Oil is money, and money is power, nuff said.

Gabes that was exactly my point, why waste the time trying to enforce our values on other countries when they don't want it, they don't want it and probably never will. Fred I probably have more of an idea than you mate, have you ever even been to Israel? I have thanks, and seen for my own eyes and heard with my own ears whats happening, so I'm not just going by propaganda bullshit haha. The Israelis are by no means being saints in all of this. But their harsh responses to what appears to be minor threats have in my opinion been justified to a degree to prevent even greater catasrophes. Sadly the tit for tat exchange looks to continue for a long time, as far as Israel is concerned the only good palestinian is a dead palestinian, and as far a Palestine is Concerned the only good Israeli is a dead Israeli.

That was a response to Nosferatus initial comment by the way, took me ages to write the thing though.o

It also shows that you are a cunt to spout out such broad sweeping statements like that, do you know the details or ths history behind the Israel Palestine situation? do you how many major terrorist groups are attacking from and basing themselves in densley populated civilian areas of Palestine, have you spoken to people with first hand experience of what so called political groups in palestine have been doing to their own people let alone Israel, have you been to Israel and spoken to brave Israeli men an women, people like you and me who volunteer to patrol the streets with firearms to protect against the constant terrorist threat against everyone around them? (i'm not talking about military service by the way), and if you knew just how much the israeli secret service has done to protect our countries interests then you wouldn't make such comments, at least Israel don't use the general population as human shields, canon fodder, and makeshift bombs. Don't get me wrong I don't like a lot of what Israel have done but they have been forced to make alot of difficult choices, in what is a very tense situation, and on several occasions forced to take palestinian civilian lives when terrorists have decided to attack from heavily populated civilian areas because they know the israelis are hesitant to risk unecessary casualties. The sad truth of the matter iin my opinion, is that countries such as Palestine, Afghanistan, Iraq etc are just not ready for democracy yet. They have so many military groups fighting for Dictatorial control that until those situations are resolved I don't think we will see peace in those places.

check for dodgy files in the trash, if in doubt empty it out, i've had several issues in the past caused by dodgy files in the trash, soon as you empty it, issues solved.

You sure you don't mean has bought an OTP Ed, you've seen my bike haven't you?
Its a custom build, I do love my bike but I have had quite a few pedal whacks on occasion no thanks to the low BB height. I really want a BMW Gangsta track sometime next year anyhow so its no biggie the Swobo frame and fork was never gonna be a permanent thing.

A mini tool kit, containing at a very minimum the bits you need to remove a wheel and fix a puncture, including spare tubes and a pump.
The last thing you want to be doing is dicking around with puncture repair kits if you are in a rush to get to work, new tube, pump up, and away you go, fix the other one later if you should so desire, I would also include in this a small piece of spare chain and a decent (park tools) chain breaker. I think the other guys here have covered pretty much everything else.

shock? i've got deep v's and they are fine ride quality wise, I went for them because they've got a reputation for being tough and I ain't no featherweight, and it meant I could compliment the colour scheme of my bike.

gore-tex paclite is where its at....save you're money, you'll have it for yearsssss

How much does the swobo frame cost?

I think it was about £250 for the frame and fork combo.
