that was the funny thing, months ago some guy in a shop was trying to flog me a fixed gear by talking all this bollocks about 'being one with the bike'

if he just said 'yeah it's good fun and good exercise' I might have bought one of him that day

donut - i know what you mean, when I'm on a double and get an hour break, I go for a blast on my bike. Everyone else goes to a coffee shop to talk about the other members of staff that aren't working that day, tedious. They think I'm mental

Last week I mkistakenly asked for a 26.2mm seatpost

What I actually need is a 26.4mm seatpost, if anyone has one then please let me know

I live SW6, work in Belgravia/Knightsbridge/Victoria

I love everything about it: the act of riding, exploring new areas, exercise; burning lungs, legs full of lactic acid, overtaking standing traffic, not having to think about anything because I am 100% focused, repairing it, maintaining it and putting new parts, I even enjoy washing the thing

I rode fixed on the roads for the first time today, it was a bit weird at first but I was really enjoying it by the time I got home. I was a bit knackered, did about 15 mile round trip. I can see I'm going to love it more than riding a geared bike, top fun

This is going to be my funeral song

YouTube - JUNGLE BOOGIE / KOOL & THE GANG

I would help you, but I'm a strict lesbian you see

I can;t even be in the same room as you

sounds like good fun

saw a couple of fixie skidders in Notting hill around 5ish, one had a royal mail bag and the other had a blue fuji

fuji guy was well checking out my ride, lol

i have been refusing to eat for the last week

up yours tesco

that's the spirit, keep it up

+1. Remember to wipe your mouth with the back of your hand after taking a swig for authenticity. Saying "Arrrrrrhh!" afterwards is probably overdoing it though.

it can never be overdone

I love cheese slices where you slice the cheese slices with a vegetable peeler

SOAR that is a bike where Aerospokes would look alright

I finished this today, then had to unfinish it, the black seatpost looked wank so if anyone's got a silver 26.4mm seatpost for sale, I will probably buy it

I don't have drops, my current bike is an MTB set up as a commuter. As it's over 20 years old now I'm not sure I would want to be too rough with it, plus the forks are wrong for off road. I mainly put the tourer tyres on the SS wheels so I could do towpaths light trails etc, the offroading was an afterthought. I think I'd be better getting another MTB and making some 26" SS wheels

now that bankers are back on the gravy train i think it's time to start thinking about our struggling premiership football players again

Sponsor a Footballer and help them get their Bentleys this Xmas

I'm doing my bit to smash the system by never having any money and never buying football shirts

what are YOU lot doing to stick it to the man?

I'm from Leeds

3/18 Picco Mini

contact your local Stihl dealer

I changed my last name from Weir to Watson because people people kept calling me Weird instead of Weir.

I later used a nail file to sharpen my teeth to points.

that's more like it

3/18 Picco Mini, but I only use the right-facing ones so all the cuttage is on the outside

i get through a lot of socks

you can use whatever you want

i've got a chainsaw chain on my bike in case anyone wants a fight

sorry mate, just got your message, I'll PM you now

nah they're not in the bin, I was probably just saying that to get rid of them. The bike is going in the street with a 'free' sign in a bit

someone texted me last night about the wheels, I texted them back this morning but no reply yet so it might be looking good for you

the cassette is not Shimano, or if it is my un-do-er is the wrong one. Probably a screw-on freewheel rather than a cassette thinking about it. the wheels were originally 'Reebok' branded, so are quite shit. Man, my bike used to suck balls.

I also have some pedals to give away now, I think they're 80s, quite rattly bearings

proper LOLZ here

I'm just changing my 23mm fixed set up for some 38mm single speed wheels

was going to build a winter hack but i need to stop spunking my money on bike parts. I have to buy some Campognolo Atlantas this weekend, because 2 weeks ago I promised to buy them and can't really back out. They're going to sit under the bed until next summer now :(

I remember going into a shop and the guy was chatting about how he has 'an aggressive riding style'

I took this to mean 'ride like a prick'

I've decided to not wear a helmet because I don't ride like a prick. I'd support compulsory bicycle training
