OK then... Ever seen a hipster in full riot gear?

You're fucking easy to wind up :-)

Bikes to follow tomorrow, but I want you lot to know who you're talking to.

Yeah, nice, but E. Coli can be a side effect.

Harry Potter would look well buff on that one

• that bike who lives round the corner on my estate
  

Partner is showing signs of disapproval of me "needing more than one bike". Currently one Fixed being built stored in shed. One geared tourer stored at workshop. One hybrid with child seat and every heavy utility to weigh it down possible. The hybrid is allowed in the house.

2 yr old son has two bikes in the house. One wood, one plastic and is also allowed toys all over the floor in every room and pushchairs, car seats etc everywhere and allowed to throw his dinner at me after I've spent an hour making it.

How to subtly make 2 other bikes appear in the house?

Same here. I'm only allowed the unfinished lo-pro in the kitchen, because I promised I will sell it at some point (for "profit" - yeah, right). There's also my stepson's hybrid in the kitchen ("because it's expensive" and almost ready Fuji Track Pro hanging on the bracket on the wall behind the fridge. Wooden bike and a plastic trike belonging to my 2 y/o always somewhere in the way. A mountain bike in the garden next to a rusty bmx. Folding bike in the boot of my car. The shed is full of spare parts for my other car which needs to be restored at some point (folding soft top, bumper and a pair of new doors). On top of that unfinished Fondriest frame. I need more space. I'm looking for some kind of metal brackets I can fit in the kitchen to hang up all the light frames, so I don't bump into the stuff at night.

(...) i don't personally want it i feel like passing it on to someone here.. but then as you say that kind of defeats the point as the price goes up.. maybe BINs are the only thing to put up.

So, if the price goes up substantially after featuring the listing in this thread, perhaps the way to go is to use it to highlight our own - members - items for sale? :-) it's quite obvious it goes on here every now and then.

Make sure that tramp doesn't sue you for an assault

Remember that burglar who was stubbed in the arse while on the job and tried to sue the poor fella for the loss of earnings (he wasn't able to do any burglaries for sometime, because he was on crotches) :-)

As many as cameras - n+1? Gear acquisition syndrome - usually fired up by an online group of collectors.

You really need a bike or maybe two - one for commuting and another for fun. And one for off-road. Maybe another for the track. Oh, and one to pose around in Shoreditch. Plus something vintage to show off online.

Go to sleep! I've got an excuse - the rave next door started at 11P and it's still full on. With the deejay and the whole system. Another sound is dying

It depends on your budget. As you have to get new wheels and a chainset, perhaps you can cough up for an old frame and have the best of two world - one for the road and one for the weekend fun in the wilderness? Once you decide what you need, people here will help you - even they like to play hard to get. I've found out everything I needed on this very forum.

you mean 28?

Then my opinion is buy a 20 years old Raleigh for £70. As for your frame, only you know it's size and geometry and what would be better. What do you need this bike for? Off road? If road, go for 700c. Why don't you get a new frame and leave the mountain bike how it is?

archie's grobags 'marlon'

This is one fcuking ugly bag. I don't dig plastic and random colours/fabrics. It reminds me of retired German tourist walking the hills of Turingen Forest. Sorry, because it's probably very functional

Also, it's a bit disturbing, when I bid on something, but it doesn't appear in this thread

we, newbies, like everything you like :-) once something winds up in here, guest browsers think they have the blessing of the experienced fraternity to go for it...

ps. this is how i got the campagnolo hubs for half the price :-P sorry

My mountain bike is so heavy compared to the road frame, that I wouldn't bother to convert it to a single speed, just to sweat with a fixed ratio. I don't know. Sit down with a measuring tape and see for yourself what would suit better.

stepper?

I can't sleep tonight. There's a bashment next door + some domestic. Fire pon dem bloodclaats!

Mine's all plastic. I weren't cool.

What? Plastic is cool, 'coz is retro. Tell polaroid users (they ride fixies, but don't tell anybody!), that they're not cool. Everything retro is cool. Well, to me retro is something from before the modernism, but for the yoofs 80s are retro

I was in "Bike Shack" in Leyton the other day to buy some bolts and my daughter got attracted to some kind of fancy trike-sand buggy mongrel for.. a mere £100. Hipster tax for toddler, I tell you.

Something like this one, but white/blue -very heavy as it wasn't made with Reynolds tubing, more like someone pumped concrete in the frame

There's 8mm difference - could be a problem with a track frame. Check the length of the cranks as well. I'm sure you can work everything out with a measuring tape. From what I read, imperials are measured to the edge of the rim, but 700c together with the tyre. But I can be wrong

Yo dawg, I herd yo like to walk, so I put a stepper in yo bike, dawg, so yo can walk while yo ride, dawg

like this one? looks like something from one of those all-night shopping chalnels for people who tuck in their polo shirt in their shorts..

01010111 01001000 01000001 01000001 ?!

Why not, if someone wants one?

But yes, it looks like:

They should put this on the leaflet for LLoyds TSB
