Does anyone want to get rid of their green plunger grips?
PM me if you do.

Bmx is in very good shape, bit of surface rust on the pegs, the BB is clicking and the bolt which holds the "motor" sprocket is pretty much stripped. Wellgo pedals should be replacd, they're shit. Otherwise I have done no grinding other than once on the pegs. Upgraded brake cable and rear brake callipper to a blue Odyssey one.

£150 pick up or I can bring it to a station within Zone 1.

Dark blue 2005 Chase 3. Converted to single speed with DMR conversion kit. I have original Shimano Deore brakes. The front forks are Manitou Statics which are..crap really but they are in perfect working order though there is some wear where the brake cable hit them. Slight marks on the frame here and there, hardly rode this thing. Rear wheel may need one or two new spokes and general attention to spoke tension.
This thing cost £700+ new.

£200 pick up or I can bring it to a station within Zone 1.

Nice ride. I reckon some pink tape is in order though.

I disagree, you'll loose the brake lever highlight!

Single speed, you can't use the engine to slow it down (well not as much as you can with a manual)

Oh and Wall-EEEEE

i forgot the french/canadian film The Cube. it's worth tracking down, i think you can get it on dvd in this country now? i had to get it from the states.

That film was tuff to watch (I can get claustrophobic sometimes).

Fear and Loathing
Lost in Translation
"La Haine" French film, highly recommend it.
Big Lebowski

The Radio Dept.

@tricity: Wow very nice indeed. Are those rims pink or violet?

Truth is though, the cost involved is (partly) going to the people who are involved's pockets. It's not money lost, it's more money in the system.

Tomorrow should be sunny

I'll take it as an opportunity to meet some lfgss people :))

Fake too.

No not yet, ordering some powergrips on the tinternet. Unless I can find some in bricklane when I go there tomorrow? I'll be fine with a front brake for the mo though. No BOINGing :D

Also, how's my chain looking? It's not the tightest but is it slack?

@blackfoot and hippy: yes :)

I don't wear t-shirts or any clothes with writing on, so I'm safe.

I believe some would say "WURD!" to that.

"Ultimate state-of the art retail concept"
I'm gonna be expecting some space-age shit then!

^^Doubt it, I only just got the bike yesterday so it hasn't been further than my street :).

No comment..

Early Xmas prezzy:

Yeah it's stock OTPage..and wat!

Finally got my new baby today, rode her a tiny bit, it was late and I was tired. My first 30 seconds of fixed were strange but I quickly got used to it. Tried trackstanding...haa. Bit of toe overlap but only like 1.5cm. I think there is a shit load of fun to be had with it after a bit of H(ing)TFU.

OTP candy:

^^Fair point but he shouldn't be doing that with a carbon fork though..that's just silly.

At least I got a good photo of it before that happen;

I remember that :)

I'm miniphan on flickr, gave a few comments/notes on there :)

in the Central there's over a dozen of them locked up for weeks without getting stolen.

Half of wish are bought by bored housewives who take them out and realise they'd rather get driven around in a taxi and just stay there to rot.

On another note, I was walking around London Brdige and after seeing a nice Condor followed by a Unipack, I saw another SS with a "please unlock my bike" sign on it. It was jost a bare sheet of a4 so clearly not intended to be re-used. Was that an attempt at reverse psychology? Does anyone think that would work or just entice thiefs to have a go and potentially get frustrated and vandalise your bike?

guess that's when you put the most stress on them.

I'd imagine so, on one side you're pulling up and on the other pushing down, the rest of the time you're rotating them etc.

Look at it this way:
You get spotted messing around on yoru bikes in the street, some generic Gok Wan type walks up to you and wants you to showcase this "up and coming sport" or w/e.
What would your response be? Why the fuck not! No?
They probably got free stuff, had fun doing what they like and might have taken the whole thing with a pinch of salt, specially considering the setting (a bit extravagant and all that)
Now they have coverage, a video to show their mates and a story to tell.
Relax guys, even though one of them does have BMX bars!
