i'm not gonna try and spread any mis-information here, i'm not an experienced sprinter and my starting technique was gash, but we still managed to have a close race. we went in with precious little practise (a few runs in front of the uni library, with speed bumps and 100m marked out by a quick look on google earth). my friend just happens to be the uni runner so it seemed like an amusing thing to do.

i guess the conclusion is that anyone who fancies themselves as a sprinter should have it sown up as when the bike gets going it suddenly doesn't seem like much of a race at all.

picture the scene:

Twilight on the Cambridge University athletics track. Two cyclists getting psyched up, imposters on the territory of the rivals. Waiting. The crowd arrive, murmuring with excitement, and take to the stands. The scent of fear lingers in the air (etc.)

1st race: Second team 100m against old 70's Peugeot. MAN wins by .40s (ish). 12.3 mark, i think.
Frankly disappointing, but a fairly dodgy start. More disappointing the fact that they guy refused to do a re-race with him on my bike and me sprinting.

2nd race: Golden boy runner against beast of a bike. DEAD HEAT after 30m in, runner turns to check the field, sees the bike 'floundering', and carries on. literally a photo finish. Re-race demanded, and, having now listened to the old 'the tortoise and the hare' fable, runners restrains himself and wins. close, around 11.2s mark.

video had trouble getting from the camera to computer, unfortunately.

saddle still going, eh? (will pm)

stems 4 (or 6) please.

it's not a regular pedal spanner size (though it does have an alan key cut aswell). Its a massively old bike.

My pedals are in a massive state and are effectively welded in to the crank arms. For a temporary solution, i'm after an adjustable wrench which is narrow enough to fit on.

Any offers near NW6?

potential interest. have you got any better photos?

looks like this is all sorted. cheers guys.
