Finally got round to getting the matching tarty bartape installed, which means the Webster is officially finished:

I was not aware of the Nuvinci before, looks amazing and down to £220.....tempted...has anyone here used one? surely Ed has?

Objections boil down to weight and lower efficiency than derailleurs, I believe. Much the same as hub gears, but perhaps a little more so.

Just for reference, Aldi do a superb Ginger Nut - better and cheaper than the McVitie's version.

103-year-old tricyclist in Long Beach. He appears to be made of some purified form of 531 Awesome™

Lighter fuel is good for removing muck from chains and conveniently sold by every corner shop in the land.

For ~£350 you could get a complete Fuji Track. Spend the extra on new wheels and crankset, and you're golden (and have spares).

FWIW, I have Exustar clones of Look Deltas on my Yates-course road bike. They're fine, and were cheaper than used Looks on eBay.

Personally, I wouldn't want to be Walsall's anything, but it takes all sorts I suppose.

Google suggests they're still going: http://www.walsall.gov.uk/index/ttw-frcycles.htm

A scots bloke on a fucking huge V-Twin motorcycle sparked up a nice conversation with me at the lights today. I like that.

Aye, that's the way I like to look at it. I used to see a chap on an R1 on Gt Eastern Street every morning and we 'd have a brief exchange of good mornings at the lights. Proper upcheering.

I've got an oldish Dahon Helios SL and have ridden the newer Mu frames in the past. They're fine - a bit peppier than a Brompton, but nothing like as robust. TBH, I'd spend the extra on the Brompton - £529 seems like a lot for what you're getting.

This is great news. In general I'd say any and all NOS will sell well (have a look at Current Projects on here), as will the On One merino jerseys (love mine). Really looking forward to calling in - it'll make a really nice change from 14 and BLB.

One specific recommendation - have a look at the number of people riding Open Pros in London and then get some Ambrosio Excellights in. Similar, but even better.

Just as an amusing little data point - the pivot pin in the Crossssssssstop lever on my Fuji has been working its way slowly loose for the past few days, leading to some "how the blazes will I stop if it falls out" worries. Turns out a standard server rack-mounting bolt and nut makes a dandy replacement.

£159 and approximately a million times better than either of the ones you're looking at in that it won't fall apart in embarrassing and injurious ways at the least provocation. A couple of guys at work have got them on my advice (not cycling enthusiasts, just daily commuters) and they're brilliant for a getting-about bike.

Congratulations! Marvellous news.

Have a look on SJS cycles. I spotted some 1 1/8" steel forks on there recently.

Just bought that very pair of books, oddly enough. Fingers crossed I should have two MONSTER postgres boxes to build at work shortly.

christ that bike is dirty. and not in a good way. and it's not even as if it's been raining of late.

Blimey. I hope you never see my Fuji. It has never been (to my knowledge - perhaps there are bike-wiping elves) cleaned. Still works perfectly, mind.

Front wheel will need to re-built and my pride is hurt, Any recommendations on where to get it re-built, 36h Open Pro on a Phil. This was Ivan's bike...

If you've gone down hard enough to destroy the front wheel, also check the forks and the headtube's joints to the downtube and toptube carefully before riding it again.

edinburghbicycle.com's own brand is pretty damn good. I've mine for years and it does everything up to 145psi quiet happily.

look at the way Contador "dances" on the pedals whilst climbing

Much as he may well be a massive cheat, I still think Wee Bert taking off up a hill is amongst the most aesthetically pleasing sights in pro cycling.

There are few places in London that will have one of them open, but I've known Sam at LMNH to take a crack at it.

I'm fairly sure Hillbilly got certified (an apt term) in taking them apart at one point. Disassemble, put in bag and tube/train down to Brixton cycles?

1) Incapable of trackstanding for more than thousandths of a second.
2) Hate riding one-handed.

I think I'm pretty much the least naturally gifted velopoloiste yet born. It is great (read: enviable) to watch though.
