Sparks, you'll have to remind me come registration time, but I'm defo up for it!

yup, clear powder be good, My forks are finished in clear over raw, hopefully a bar/stem combo to match soon, If I can find time to pop over to Pats and help him build it!

Its in primer, I think more paint-like activities are happening today

Col,

Bike looks good man, skills,

I'm gutted I keep missing all these rides/eats.. Though my new boss is a hellish slavedriver!

Just been told I'm covering a story in Norwich tomorrow, so should get home by 6.30 rather than 7.30. Sweet.

Come on Keppel, Col, get involved. Beer on the beach with a full moon and a bunch of sweaty, panting men. That is the definition of romance.

I've got all my stuff with me, so if the boss will let me leave before 8, I'll be with you!

No decals sparky, I'm going to adorn your new bike with kiddy scrawls of cocks and swears in permanent marker!

Zach Hill is awesome, I just got the new album, Face Tat...Sooooooo good!

I'll have to check that out, He is pretty rad drumming for El Grupo Nuevo de Omar Rodriguez Lopez.

Maybe....

I'm Donnies bitch at the moment as his scaphoid is broked up since his drunken blunder last weekend.

May be mitering tubes etc, so may not be able to make the ride.

I'll keep you posted though

Good luck Sparks, let us know how you get on!

I'm truly hungover, and scared of the rain, i'm staying in, plys my pal is back from oz at the moment, having some send off drinks with him.

Sorry people

The belt drive sprocket on it is also compatible with 6 bolt iso disc mount compatible, so could pretty easily convert to fixed.

I may give it a go some time in the future.

It is the perfect city bike, the conti cyclocross speeds are awesome tyres, fast on the road, but perfectly grippy off it.

Its just single speed,

I did contemplate having it clearcoated, but I already have clear coated tig welded stuff in my stable, so for some reason I chose gold for it! Seems its not to everyones taste, well, actually anyones except mine!

A while back I posted these pics of my bike in the process of being built by a friend of mine....

He finished the frame/fork/bar combo a while back, But I have only just recently finished buying parts and putting her together.

The finished article...

Personally I love it and I've ridden it to death in the last couple of weeks, I honestly cant fault it. Thanks Tom!

Hey dude, Yeah, we are going to try and start up our usual friday night rides again in the new year.

You should defo pop out, Its always a good crack with a good bunch of like minded people.

The more people who join in the better!

Happy Birthday Ben and Dom also.

Just got back from a 3 hour ride over at Thetford...Good times!

pot kettle!

Yeah man, me and Sparks flew out to Wroxham, had a couple of pints, had a good gossip, I fell over on the ice in the car park, then we thrashed back into town, Was a good ride, Nice way to break in the new Donny steed!

Off into town in a bit for more drinking with Sparky, Donny etc.

Sparks, didn't make it out of the house today, laziness/winter hack build kept me in. Did you pop down?

You are always ill Mark, I would have thought all the alcohol in your system would kill any potential disease off before it had a chance of taking hold!

I have that film, I'm going to watch it with Donny and the Stiff Man over Christmas at some point.

I think Donny is full of illness at the moment, I'm supposed to be seeing him today, I'll mention it.

He may be up for a pint, not sure he would be up for the ride though

no worries Col,

Have a goodun pal, see you in the new year!

That's like 20 miles? Fuck that, it's more than I total in a busy week.

Strewth! Why Not Man Up for a day? you never know, you may enjoy it!

Roight,

Sparky has just been in touch proposing a Christmas Eve ride and obviously a few pub stops/beers en route.

Any of you guys interested?
I know people have families/Wives/Girlfriends/Mistresses/Animals to try and keep happy so If we all discuss we should be able to form some sort of plan that works for the majority of us.

At the moment, A Christmas Eve ride to Wroxham with a possible return journey through either Coltishall and Hainford, or perhaps the other direction returning through Salhouse has been proposed. Regardless of route we will stop at as many pubs as possible, The route will terminate at the Ten Bells on St. Bennies as per usual Friday night rides.

Feel free to chip in any alternative routes/times that would work out for you and from those I hope we can find ourselves a compomise.

Cheers!

back in time for polo?

haha

Rapha + Paul Smith = Baller!

I visited Seven Cycles when I was in Boston earlier this year, This was one of the employees commuter bike, The front rack was made from offcuts of titanium seat and chainstays, you can just about see the mesh panel across the front of the rack which is the leftovers of the sheet that they stamp the seat and chainstay caps from...

Sorry guys, Migraine cut my evening short...how did you all get on?
