I will conquer swains on the new whip.

I assume it has arrived, how is the long awaited badmattnewride?

I think I will bring the Coppi which I finished putting togeter over the weekend.

See you all tomorrow.

A long headtube has ruled out most second hand forks. I have found a bog standard steel fork, which I can paint to match the frame for the short term. If the bike is getting enough use to warrant it, I will keep on the lookout for a nicer one.

I have found somwhere with a campy 1 inch threaded headset after much phoning around, hopefully they can fit it tomorrow but they might be too busy! (Crown seat may need to be milled methinks)

I am getting childishly impatient now that I have all the bits to finish the bike and have some time on Sunday to build it...........

Anyone in north london have all the tools for this and half an hour free on Sat afternoon if my LBS cant fit me in?

left my bag on the bus last night

Tour bus?

Good to see everyone as ever - nice to go somwhere different for once but did miss Swains and pizza.

I turned on the computer when I got home to bid for those forks on ebay, promptly fell asleep and missed them, d'oh.

I got a price from them on the forks, they want more than I paid for the frame! I tried to negotiate to no avail. Part of me was tempted to get it anyway, but I bought the frame cheap as a fun project, and I want to keep costs under control.

I think its going to have to be chrome - dmczone's picture may have settled it.

The saddle is just temporary as I had it in the cupboard under the stairs. The gold wheels look better in the flesh (I think).

Hugh - this one's not going to have a saddle bag, I was thinking a basket ;)

I am building a geard bike for some longer rides. I started with the 1994 Coppi frame I bought off the forum. I have been adding bits of NOS Campy from the mid 2000's such that I have a reliable bike but with nice shiny bits on it.

The only major thing I need now is a fork. But I have the option of going chrome threaded to keep the original look of this mid 90's frame, or I could go carbon ahead for weight and comfort.

I guess the purpose of this bike was both as a fun project to build, and as a bike to ride, which makes me think carbon - but it would look nice if I kept it chrome.

What does the forum think?

That was a great ride, Im glad I wasnt the only one unimpressed with the Strawberry Fair thingy, but the cheese and bacon hamburger made up for it. I spent all of Sunday eating as well - just constant hunger.

Im glad to have done a proper distance fixed now, I'm feeling much less of a noob. Looks like my geared bike is going to be ready for Dunwich, so Im going to have to make the fixed vs geared decision.

Many thanks to Corny for organising and keeping us honest. I think I could hear the famous Blackfoot laugh the enire journey!

Might see some of you at VJ day 2 if I can find the time for it, if not midnight to brighton on the 27th.

Is there an official London Fields meet place and time, or shall I just HTFU and come down to HPC.

Who said Bar Italia, that sounds like a good idea.

See you all in the morning.

Simon

Worst case scenario we get soaked and go to the pub - or it is sunny and we have a nice ride to Cambridge - win win.

Will pack my goretex jacket just in case though.

See you all in the morning!

Simon

Good to see everyone again last night - thanks as ever to J & T for organising etc.

Looking forward to Cambridge on Saturday - no doubt will see some of you on that ride as well.

Simon

Light blue Bianchi(?) with front Spok going up Fitzjohns in North West London's Hampstead at about 8.00 this AM.

My desperate bid for fitness will see me in Roydon this evening on the TNRC. Have a good one tonight.

Is pasta guy coming to the pub as well as pizza this evening?

Simon

great ride, good to see everyone as ever, fab weather and well desevered ale at the end of it. Look forward to seeing some of you on Tuesday in Roydon.

Looking forward to this - see you all at 3.

Is there a meet time and place for this yet?

Would I be able to put my shopping in this trailer? This could save me from taking the car to the supermarket. Also, what makes this trailer fixed wheel specific?

Many thanks

Sasmon

PM sent on the yellow one.

do a skid. Little did he know the problems that that fraze had already caused.

He really put his foot in it...

Hides under the desk cringing

heading off shortly to join the KTR peloton!
