Lots of people commute by bicycle and there are locking points all around campus/town.

Buses are intimidating to the novice riders, as here they practically share the same lane with cyclists and they're always pulling over and even sometimes speeding past you, just to stop right in front of you.

Sometimes pedestrians shout at you to try to make you fall off.

Here in manchester theres a bit of alleycats, some bike polo, road rides and race and also critical mass to meet other cyclists. Its a normal place, not un-friendly to bikes

yes they do sell fixed gear hubs, fixed wheels, chain, etc.
its my favourite shop as they have low prices for servicing. they do the job quickly (sometimes the same day when you get there before 11 ) . Professional and friendly staff .
they are also open **every **day from 9ish to 6pm.

if you cant find a part there, the shop called GBH will have it

no polo today ... should have a really good one on thursday with most people so keep it open folks

:>P

whatever

I'm selling my custom made Push Iron from GBH. 60cm seat tube cc and top tube (I'm 6 foot 4), finished in a really dark green that looks kind of black from a distance, with following components:

• Cut down Nitto risers (no sweep) wrapped with black Brooks tape
  
• Nitto Pearl stem (110mm I think)
  
• San Marco Concor/ 14 bike co black suede saddle - immaculate condition. No brand seatpost
  
• Black H son rims (front machined for brake) on gran compe hubs gatorskins with plenty of life in them.
  
• Sugino messenger cranks and chain ring (generic BB)
  
• MKS pedals with Toshi double straps
  
  

It's well loved and well used, plenty of scratches on the wheels and paint chips on the frame and forks - all cosmetic though. It rides fast and looks good, nice tight clearances.

Looking for £450. Selling because I'm moving out of town (seems less fun on country roads than in traffic) and have been spending all my time on my road bike. It's hanging up in GBH if you want to check it out, I don't have an update photo, but here's an old one that at least sows the frame and some of the components:

IMHO, I think you're not being realistic about the price mate, no offense.
The actual value of what is put together is way less than that,..., even if that's
what you've paid.

for we who arent on facebook here is marks^ ribble conversion

whoa it looks to me like the brake lever is actually across the stem. please say it aint so

by the way, its REALLY hardcore rain now

Now only Neil and Mark dont know that were doing it at NCP. Someone text them?

Bring a ball ben?

Hey guys since the weathers so bad (mucho raining) i think there will even be standing water on platt fields soo i think we should be move the venue to NCP.

NCP is in the city centre on one of the sidestreets opposite the BBC and before you reach the Dancehouse. In fact, precisely here http://bit.ly/bHzSWu

I don't know if thats a good idea, there are other options, such as drilling holes in the sprocket and then with heavy duty zip ties attach the sprocket onto the spokes also.
Oh please let me know if something bad happens.

Give it a really good clean?

was he riding fixed gear?

3 pairs of gloves right? what colours and sizes?
dibs 1 pair

If anything its funny when your bike whips.

Alsooo wheelcover music FTW!!

cool!! lets meet at 1 or 2 then?

Hey just a quick one here, testing the waters and such.
I know that it will be cheaper for me to build a wheel if i do the lacing and tensioning then take it to an lbs for more tensioning and truing.

will i have problems if i do this?

apologies if this has been discussed, id rather find out by your hand today, than your hand vaguely yesterday

Does anyone have a new or **used **shimano conversion kit for freehub bodies they are willing to part with?
*
I am happy to buy the components separately*

if you have any of the below;

1. the cog (17t or anything bigger)
   
2. spacers
   
3. lockring
   
4. a chain tensioner
   
   

please send a PM with an offer of what you think its worth

i live in manchester so you might have to post in which case i will paypal (otherwise I will be at the London open polo tournament on the 21st and 22nd of august at Newington Gardens, Harper Road, SE1, in which case we could meet there).
