Cheers Ben, want black ones though. Can't be messing with my colour scheme on the new build at the last minute.

Nah, went for a 24mm clamp because the bar spec said that was the width of the non clamping area. It didn't mention that the bar flats are actually... flat. Which is nice, except it won't play with a cross lever. They're so narrow a TT lever is going to work better anyway.

Thomson seatpost came today. Dang, that's a nice bit of metal.

What bike is this for? Black or silver?

My bars came today, they look tiny.
Anyone have a spare TT lever? The cross levers I have won't fit.

S'allright, means I can get practise in to stand a chance of keeping up. Riding is so much harder than I remember.

Think I yelled at you as you passed the Bicycle Shop on Saturday night, can't be that many fixed riders rocking a bell.

What width / clamp size are the drops?

Yup. Ben, Sparky and myself did a 20 mile loop then headed to the Rumsay for food.

Tyres are Rubino Pro 3s in 700x23, real fuckers to get on so I'm dreading punctures. I don't skid though, so that should give them a bit more life. Bars will be Cinelli Lolas in white with black tape. I'm leaving the stickers as they are for now - between the rims, frame and stem there's a few spots of red that set it off nicely.

White or silver stem was a big decision, Photoshop and I decided on white in the end though.

What if we headed out through Brundall to meet you then did the back roads > Salhouse Road back into Norwich? Makes it about 20 all in for everyone then.

Sounds good, means we don't have to struggle home on full bellies. Will bring the saddle.

Oh ye of little faith. Admittedly, it did was a leap of faith buying assorted parts in the hope they'd look something like the mockup I'd made. The white tyres are a one-off for the photo album, they'll be replaced with something a bit sturdier and blacker in the long run. Conti Gatorskin Ultras perhaps?

Fatbirds have promised me bar delivery on Monday shortly followed by brake lever. Looking good for a next Friday outing.

That is indeed a sweet picture. Cheap team kit too.

Have more nice bike photos: http://ridesabike.tumblr.com/, my favourite:

But they're so pleasant, especially the Roubaix ones. It's just a matter of time, we all know you're a closet roadie Mark.

Short sleeved, so it's staying in the wardrobe for a couple of months...

Show us a picture at least you tease.

I remember F&F being quite a nice ride, but it was on a summer evening last time.

Due to unexpected shit, I'll be around for this. Looks like I'll still be on the Giant though. Boohiss &c.

That would be the coolest polo bike on the block.

Apart from last week it's been pretty mild on Fridays.
Can't do Sunday either but will be in for future lunch rides if they get going.

Reminds me, I was going to look at helmets.
Always ride like everyone is trying to kill you, they should teach that in school.

I'm out this week. Fingers crossed my next Friday ride will be on the new bike though.

I think a ride around Norwich on practical fixed gear bikes is in order soon.

I think they happen every Friday night...

That GT frame is fancy, look forward to seeing the finished article.

I can just feel the love in here.

8pm at The Forum then?

By insurance job I mean a legitimate claim. "Insurance job" sounds a tad shady.

Cheers, have passed the info on. It's Alex at Lambda Films if you know him Gareth.

Mate had his Ridgeback Velocity nicked. Not going to be easy to find but on the offchance anyone hears anything. Looks something like http://twitpic.com/3ru5rt

Was taken from Henderson Business park. Which means a Bowthorpe pikey probably has it and it'll be an insurance job.
