price drop on cages accidently put them as £10 now only £5 WOW WHAT A BARGAIN!!!

you don't need a 'bike zone' to ride your bike.

Yeh i was telling porkys in the hope he would feel bad for me

BOOOOOORING. If you want to run red lights, be careful. This involves not getting hit by other vehicles and making sure no Police are around. Easy ain't it?

If you get caught you can only blame it on your own negligence.

and i did see the policeman so i stoped it was just a lil after the red light

i know i was at fault i just didn't appreciate being lied to and told i should man up, the police are for our protection, and if it was true and i didn't feel safe on my bike i would like to think the govts attitude is not man up and dont ride if your scared

yeh it is is that a dibs?

i am based just off pitfield street east london

no probs, wanna buy it?

the other day was pulled over by police man he told me it was £500 fine and that he had just this week had to "scrape" two cyclists off the pavement because they ran red lights the first was hit by a truck, and the other hit a pedestrian. The collision with the ped must have killed the cyclist because he didn't explain any further.
I explained that i wasn't runnning the red but there was no bike zone so i had gone out ahead so as to be infront of traffic, he told me not to ride a bike in london if i was scared of traffic.

an all round great police attitude i think.

it means for a cheap bike nothing wrong with it persay but its not exactly top of the range, runs true not rumbling or grinding wrap some electrical tape for rim tape and off you go

I am selling my raleigh record ace frame and forks it used to be touring geometry till i found a convenient car and put myself into the side of it; this has bent the top and down tube at the stearing tube (see pics). Because they have bent straight inwards it has nicely shortened the wheel base with out bending the frame sideways. if you used some straight forks or even the forks that are on it , it would make great polo bike.
It was re sprayed by armourtex and i highlighted the lugs, comes with BB and fucked headset (from the crash)
Apart from the bent top and down tube i think it will all be fine no cracks just a nice clean bend it almost looks proffesionally done ;)
There are also a pair of unknown cranks poss raleigh that fit the bb, a sugino 44t chain ring and a front 700c beater wheel in raw alu, with no rim tape.

Frame and forks £20

Front wheel £10

sugino 44t chain ring £10 **sold **

Crank set £10** Sold **

Collection or viewing on pitfield street

get a new bike, easier than mucking about
fixed

i did this with my mates drill no cutting fluid and a drill bit bought from the corner store. it went fine if i can do such an incompetant job i am sure nothing will go wrong

Get anything It will be better. Ever since I saw a guy bring one in the shop where the rear hub just fell apart and all the bearings fell out I'm totaly 100% convinced no one should ever have to own or ride one. Ever.

This happened to me what shop do you work in?

i have flat bars in old street

http://www.bikebrightz.com/

facebook just suggest i buy these

BARGAIN if only i had the money

titan poss late 60's early 70's (haven't got round to dating it exactly yet) 80mm wrong in all catagories but interested? VERY SHINY

how short reach stem? i have a very nice titan one going

ok ok, its just the expense :(

Any one used the top tool here? I think not enough levarage

C.B., I'm biased, but you can get free third party insurance if you join the LCC (you can also get it through other cycling organisations, I should mention). Saves you money through discounts in bike shops and gives you peace of mind.

Glad you're OK and good luck with the outcome!

Thanks oliver i am going to be getting a 14 bike company bike and will need insurance so i will look into it then cheers

ok cheers i think i will leave it as fair and square then she phoned me saying thats what her insurers said aswell, my frame was just a shitty old converted touring frame any way so the value isnt probs as much as the repairs to her car or worth bothering with.

thanks for reading and replying

rider down... me

on the harrow road going south on the hill just before the turning for scrubs lane

riding my fixed bike with front brake

i am going down the right hand side of stattic traffic. A women coming from a junction on my left, she was cutting through the stoped traffic, pokes her nose out into the centre of the road

the nature of the hill is steep enough to make it hard to see a gap in traffic or a car pulling out from the left.

so the first i see is of her poking her nose out right in my path i am about 2 meters away i lock my legs and my front brake, but unfrotunatly end up with my front wheel in her wheel arch and me over her bonet

i was not breaking the spead limit i run 44, 16 and was not spinning out so i must have been going below 30

no helmet but i am absolutoly fine brusied jaw and shoulder but my frame now has a bent top tube and down tube and the wheel base is now shortened by an inch or so.

I have the womens number and have contacted her about the broken frame and told her i want to claim it on her insurance.

I also damaged her wheel arch or rim, not sure what she meant was broken over the phone. Can she claim against me, i have no insurance.

Her only witness is her passenger and my only witness is the guy i was riding with.

Was in a bit of a daze so didnt get numbers of passers by etc.

what is the process i go through and was i in the right or the wrong in this situation?

also WANTED NEW FRAME (will be checking classifieds soon)
