I've been on this a few times in the past with the Veteran Cycle Club and, although not many numerically, we have normally ridden a wide spectrum of machines. I think the last time was 2015, but we haven't been invited since then because we haven't fitted in with the 'theme' of the last couple of years (although it may be that we're just not as exciting as those teenage American cheerleaders). Good idea worth pursuing, I'll keep in touch over possible VCC involvement.

Done - as sky dancer says, have your say!

^This and surely the crux of the matter is that there is no signage at the door or anywhere else by the looks of it.

Maybe the security guy was doing a risk assessment and this was his way of dealing with matters which makes you wonder how compliance with fire safety might be dealt with elsewhere in the club.

It might even be worth leaving the bike where it is and getting someone from local Fire and Rescue Services (who I think enforce the relevant regulations) to come and give an opinion.

Thanks - here's my late 1950s/early 60s International Watch Co

Sorry, not sure what you mean by Mark X. I've had it, and the Longines, for over 50 years; bought in the days when ex-WD stock was being sold off. If it's any help here is the underside.

I like those! Here's my International Watch Co and Longines for comparison

Sadly, a bit on the large size for me. But it's a beauty - GLWS.

Lovely - interested pending size, details and what JD asked.

Anyone by any chance have any or know where they might be sourced?

Went to the Isokon Gallery today - thanks for recommending - as you say, well worth a visit. The building itself is just sublime.

The penthouse flat, in all its glory, is going to be open next Saturday and Sunday as part of the London Open House.

Thanks - I think I have reached the optimum number/type for me....well, for the time being...

Parkland Walk featured in today's Observer as one of the country's best urban walking routes.

Superb...and great value!

GLWS

I forgot to mention that I didn't drink alcohol or coffee for the first six weeks (I think they may leach minerals etc out of the body) and took mineral and calcium supplements in order to get the rebuild of the bone going as best as possible.

As mentioned above mine healed in less than six weeks without surgery and, if it hadn't been for the broken leg, would have been back on bike before then so it is possible even though it looked a bit of a mess (at least to me). I made sure I was using the sling-thing correctly at all times.
Good luck with recovery.

Women's Rossignol 9.9 Plus Energy skis, not used for over 15 years but stored in carrier tube (also to go) after full service in very good condition. Also Goode 8101 Pencil ski poles and size 6 Salomon Performance Evolution ski boots. Collection only from North London N8.

Collarbone healed, without surgery, in less than six weeks. Broken leg now, more or less there. Back on bike today and leg felt surprisingly strong. More comfortable riding than I am walking!

That's brilliant!

For those who may not have seen it, the Phoenix cinema in Finchley has on at 2pm tomorrow Kings of the Hour: triple Bill including On Yer Bike (Obree), The Final Hour (Boardman) and Jacques Anquetil...Followed by an interview with Vin Denson his "super domestique".

I have 2 531 Awesome Ts - one in black and one in grey - both size small (and a bit shrunk). You're welcome to one (I'm in North London).

Well done fussballclub!

I joined the club a few weeks back, along with a broken leg, after being hit by a van on Farringdon Road (currently waiting for police report). Surprisingly little pain and ease of movement (when not in sling). Consultant suggested leaving it to heal and not go down the route of surgery. Back to fracture clinic next week, more concerned about leg at moment - want to get plaster off and get going on rehab.

Whittington staff are brilliant!

^Saw this on the Beeb news - the finger was deemed too obscene to show and was pixilated out...
