Auto, extremely simple, hour/minute/second/date.

Preferably "affordable" enough that I won't cry if I scratch it.

Skx007? proper 200m diver so it'll handle bumps better than most budget autos.

13 year old beer. Bloody good it was too.

That's an awesome looking watch, very pricey thought.

Yeah, I got mine second hand, they fairly reqularly go on ebay at about half to one third of list.

I would prefer an automatic movement, a quick look at the Traser website suggests that they are quartz?

They do a few autos, but they're pricey.

What's your budget, what sort of watch do you want; dressy / sporty, complications, strap / braclet

Classic Chrono BD Pro Blue

Swapped onto NATO, I find bracelets too heavy day to day. It's on a solid black one with black PVD hardware now. Problem with NATOs is you do end up buying loads of 'em.

Apologies for another crap phone pic

Finally going to go along to this. Good weather forecast this evening.

Wasn't actually able to do this in the end due to a colleague deciding to fuck up backups at 4pm on a Friday and leave me to fix it. Joy.

As I'm a tight bastard I could only afford this little number with a 7S26 movement for my dad's 70th birthday. Hope he doesn't send me away calling it gay, because it's a very compact watch.

At 70 your dad should be old enough to remember when men actually had a bit of class and didn't equate manliness to having a 48mm watch. Small dress watches are great, and there's loads of them on the bay for no more than their scrap gold value.

Having just dispatched an invoice for £12k, I weakened and have bought this:

It's going to be my watch for riding bikes, and general misbehaviour. Hopefully it will spare my Sinn from having too many chunks gouged out of the case.

A good plan, as the PVD case on my Traser will attest.

It got that on my latest off, but it's the sort of watch that looks better with battle scars I reckon.

The slower group: 100k
Circa 4 - 4.25 hours including stops
Sociably paced 15 average with "comfort breaks" if/when required.
No one will be dropped.
If you like a nice ride with good company and the occasional chat this is the one for you.

1) Skydancer - Fixed
2) Mothergirl - Fixed
3) Hairnet - SS
4) Oliver Schick - TBC
5) conker (ian) - fixed
6) Velocio - Geared unless I buy another bike before the ride
7) tom k&e - probably SS

The fast group - 2×100k:
Sub 3 hours out, no wee stops.
6pt reckons he could do it 19–20mph average solo so we'll be looking to improve on that as a group. I will also endeavour to teach him that his choice of unit is inferior.
People doing the fast ride one way will be frowned upon (unless they happen to carry on for a solo century warm down).

1) Hillbilly - Geared
2) Dammit - Geared
3) Object - Geared (Assuming I can convince someone to lead the other group)
4) joe smith - geared up to the eyeballs
5) FridayMarch26th
6.pt - Geared
7) zanda - geared
8) laner - fixed probably
9) avellana - geared (will continue North)

needed some time to get used to it.. but once you do... it's nice,

always gets people staring in the train to what the time is, and they turn their head confused away cause they thought it was 6 oclock instead of 3 :)

I really don't understand why anyone would wear a watch you can't read to better than ±15 minutes. You can probably guess what the time is with more precision than that.

Me riding to work in flouro waterproofs and not seeing a single other two wheeled commuter.

Tripel Karmeliet is amazing isn't it

Best tripel IMO, better than Westmalle which is the usual benchmark (and I've got through about a crate of each over the last few years).

Definitely one to try and clone at some point.

this do?!!

Looks good, but have you got a decent res version?

Can someone shoop in a 'tache and copy of Mein Kampf plz

Strictly speaking that logo looks more like a cock. Opportunity for some creative stickering there perhaps.

Just enjoyed a pint of Fullers London Porter. I will be making a porter next, very underated. I do love an IPA/APA/Pale Ale but there is definitely something darkly delicious about a good porter

My homebrew oatmeal stout. Bloody good it is too.

Time for a comeback for the old WAC sticker perhaps, rather than something related to this campaign.

I feel nothing but pity for her. Imagine waking up each day and remembering you're Vanessa Feltz.

Or not waking up

Interesting
Sadly I'm fat and can't ride up hills.

List for the listless

1. conker
   
2. tom k&e
   

Rowhan on a Boris Bike after the marathon this afternoon on the Strand. I think.

Will be along after the Addison Lee protest which I'd encourage you all to come along to.

Her defense was that motorists have mirrors

They do? Could've fooled me.

Despite being heard to say something along the lines of "why the fuck would you do this overnight it's a stupid bloody idea and I'm never doing it again" at the beach last year, I will in fact be doing it again. I will do something to try and counteract the tiredness this year though, either an early start, sleep schedule adjustment, or modafinil.

premium rush!!

Fixed gear. No brakes. Can't stop. Or the purple strawberry will catch me.
