Is this over priced or a decent deal?

Done & done. All mine. Can't wait to ride home now :)

The frame has been really well kept as well, detailing in the frame is beautiful.

Wooo!

Fair deal, I think.
Frame and parts seem to be in good condition.

"Imported by Reality ..."
Is the Walker family still in bike business ?

Thanks mate.

Think I'll go take a look at it today :)

I think that's a good deal, not the greatest groupset going but it's a good, solid, reliable bike for £400.

Thanks mate... and yeah, the groupset doesn't overly excite me either.

i saw a courier type back n april who had
S E
T D
R G
8 E

down the back of his calves in huge letters

Seen him too, it certainly was noticeable :)

Twice i've been stopped by police for jumping a red, and twice they were just cautions. They gave me some piece of paper to read ... some sort of police/cycling initiative thing.

The first time the copper said 'if we catch you again, you'll be fined'. Amusing because;

1. They didn't take my details
   
2. I was caught again and I wasn't fined :)
   
   

They were nice about it on both occasions though, even after I explained I felt safer jumping a red light as opposed to waiting for the green.

Voted! Great designs, looking forward to the next round of voting :)

I too cycle over Putney Bridge, twice a day, and so does my girlfriend. In the evening we usually trade stories of that bloody bridge and close calls. It's particularly ordinary heading south off the bridge onto the high street with cars failing to indicate that they're about to merge.

I got to the bridge at about 6.10pm on Friday and yes, everything had just been taped off and there was a helicopter in the air above. I was hoping it wasn't a cyclist.

This thread just brings home how dangerous it can be (not that we need reminding I suppose). I'll pay my respects as I cycle over the bridge late this afternoon.

Be safe.

Glad you are finding it an interesting/funny read. I just showed my girlfriend, a regular commuter, and she couldn't stop laughing.

on a similar note...going south over London Bridge last night. I passed someone wearing a full on American football helmet!! wtf?

The best bit was he was this big burly, looking bloke....squeaking along on a Brompton. I laughed so hard until i caught his eye, then presumed anyone cycling in a football helmet is a either a nutter or way harder than me (or both) and promptly legged it.

£10 to the first person with a photo of this dude!!

I saw this guy riding along great eastern st (Shoreditch) a few weeks back.

I peed a little. There, I said it.

Howdy,

Thought you all might like to read this article I scanned which I found at work the other day. Not sure of the date, but it was written by Hugo Rifkind. It looks like it's out of the times.

Hope you enjoy it.

Hey all,

I've seen a few people on here looking for work, so thought perhaps if there are any designers out there that are looking for a source of income, the t-shirt design business I work for are looking for designers. We have an ad on gumtree, but thought I'd post it here as well (below).

Hope this is useful for someone on here looking for work, or for someone that you might know. And by the way, we'll take on international designers a well.

Cheers.

www.WeAdmire.net is a t shirt publisher based in Shoreditch, London EC2. We started designing in September last year and we were indexed by google in November. A central feature of our shirts is that they celebrate and admire some aspect of human endeavour or nature at large, human or otherwise. We work with Adobe Creative Suite. Having paid some fees of experience since November last we are about to make radical changes to our website that are timetabled to take effect in early May.

Limits on t shirt design and content - if limits exist at all - are defined by designers' interests and motivation. The best designs tend to be founded in genuine interest, knowledge and appreciation of what is being admired. Designs so inspired will resonate with a wide audience and deliver self expression to wearers irrespective of how apparently obscure and esoteric the subject of the design might be. Ray Charles is on record as saying there are two types of music – good music and bad music. Something similar applies to t shirt design. The way to consistently produce the good stuff is by engaging with the topic. We do not want the primary design concern to be an attempted judgement of what might sell.

We print on demand. Shirts designed and published on WeAdmire.net can be kept permanently available in all colours and all sizes: they will not go out of print. There are presently more than 450 designs available on our website. It is possible if not likely this makes our selection of properly available original designs the largest of any such site on the internet. If this is not the case now, it will be soon. The designs presently on the site largely reflect the legacies and interests of a group of designers living and working in London. However we want to represent a broader range of legacies, interests and cultural backgrounds - whatever they are and from wherever they spring - in the designs we publish and make available via the internet. In time we intend to establish a network of local websites that will be better at representing cultures other than our own and these will likely be in the language of the country in which they are based but for the time being if you design and write in a language other than English you must be able to provide us with an English translation of your work.

We print our shirts one at a time. They are printed digitally using gas dispersion inks. Colour, complexity, resolution and size variations - the enemies of the standard screen printing process - are our friends. We prefer the designs we publish to tend toward the colourful, the detailed and the complex, with the size of the design proportional to the shirt it will be printed on.

We pay permanent designers a basic salary and a royalty for each shirt they design as it is sold for the time they work for us. For freelance designers we pay royalties and an advance on those royalties when we accept a design for publication to our website. Because the designs do not go out of print, we expect successful freelance designers to establish a long term cumulative stream of income.

If you are interested in becoming a designer for www.WeAdmire.net, please call Theo Stegers or Lawrence Keogh on 020 7377 1801 or email theo.stegers@weadmire.net. Please do not send a CV or portfolio of your work. In deciding to hire/offer a freelance agreement we are interested in understanding how you express yourself about that which engenders genuine enthusiasm in you. Please look at the website www.WeAdmire.net and consider the shirts you might design. Then make contact. We will decide to make you an offer on the basis of the conversations we have and the work we will ask you to do as part of the application process. This will typically be to design some shirts on a couple of topics of your choosing and one of ours or vice versa.

how did the 105 tee's pan out ?

I think we're giving the bike parts a rest for the time being. However, if you want to do one yourself and get it put on our website, we will consider it and work out a form of payment

That goes for anyone whose looking to design something that you think is admirable (bike part, frame..whatever). We won't take anything, it has to be something that you think is worthy of recognition.

Cheers.

please don't do a Time Atac! that was my next project! ;)

All yours buddy :)

joshstar can these be purchased at great eastern st or is it mail order only thanks

Morning reculver,

There's a few ways we can do it mate:

1. You're more than welcome to swing by our Great Eastern st studio and order anything. We need about 30mins to get it ready though (we print on demand). Cash only as Paypal are a bunch of bellends.
   
2. You can order it online and pick it up here. Our website won't let you bypass the 2 quid postage, but we'll give your £2 back when you pick it up.
   
3. You can let me know in advance if you want something and I can have it ready for you to pick up if waiting 30mins is a problem. Again, this would be cash only. You can send me an email if you want to do this (let me know a time you want to pick it up): josh@weadmire.net
   
   

Cheers.

What's it with the "Enter the name you want printed on the T-Shirt"? Where is it going to be printed?

Hi ehren_fried_chicken,

It's printed on the front of the t-shirt, bottom left. It can say whatever you like - most people just choose a name, but others have chosen some pretty wacky phrases (certainly keeps us amused).

Cheers.

If anyone is interested, we now have Dura-Ace Spdr's on our website.

I think that's all the bike parts we're going to do for a while -- One of our designers has made quite a good-looking bike shirt which I'll post up when it's on our website.

Hope everyone had a great Easter break.

Hi Delta,

Unfortunately, black is the only colour we don't do due to how we print our shirts. Bummer.

just saw this and i'm not annoyed at all! far from it. i like the shirt and was 'stoked' by the 'props'. there was no real idea to my t-shirt other than it was a careful handmade line drawing. i have no ownership of basic drafting.

Nice of you to say, Superprecise. I'm glad you like it. We've already sold a few since they've been hanging up in our studio window, one to a notable artist the other day who does some cool stuff around the area in Shoreditch (fluro bikes!).

We have a number of other line drawing t-shirts on the website (nikon cameras and a canon A1), and one of the designers is currently working on a dura-ace SPD-R t-shirt. He informs me he regrets saying that it was going to be easy :)

Cheers.

Can anyone scan a copy of the article? Sounds like it's worth a chuckle :)

there are few generations of deltas - some crap'ier than others...

Yes, you're right. We have the records which is the model we have floating about.

Hey guys and gals.

After seeing Superprecise's thread a few weeks ago with his brilliant track pedal line drawing, I showed the guys at our studio who were suitably impressed.

Seeing as though most of us at the studio are avid cyclists, we thought we may do one of our own. So I give you the Campagolo Delta t-shirt. We actually have a used set of these lying around the studio which was perfect as we were able to photograph the brakes and then use various amounts of computer wizardry.

Anyhow, thought at least one or two of you may be interested (probably more for those who know the amount of fanfare that these Delta's receive).

Does anyone here own a pair?

Cheers,
Josh

Ditto. Thanks for the useful read.

It seems like every other day I have a close call which tells me I'm increasingly likely to need these details. It's hard to keep calm when you've been knocked off, but at least this gives me somewhere to start.

Cheers.

I'm kind of new. Hi.

:)

Really nice shirts mate, good luck with your new label.
