Probably 26.6 or 26.8: http://www.sheldonbrown.com/seatpost-sizes.html

Funny how different things can seem to a foreigner :)

I like that it's produced by the council and still shows quite a lot of trafficviolations. Whoever chose the music should be ashamed, though...

Will a Sram X3 rear derailleur (7/8 speed - some sites say 7/8/9) work with a Sram PG1050 cassette and a 10-speed Sram road shift lever?

48/12 = 32,1 mph @ 100 rpm
44/11 = 32,1 mph @ 100 rpm
Not much of a difference...

First real ride, since I got injured at work. Been fiddling with the fit, since my shoulder is shattered, my elbow won't fully extend and my right arm has become a bit shorter than the left. 20 miles round Copenhagen Airport at a decent pace and the only problems was pain in my lower back. Weather was fantastic: Blue sky, 7 degrees and almost no wind. Felt awesome being back on the road!

Will do my best - They say I will be done with the physiotherapy in 2012 and I might even be able to get back to my job ;)

I will not be able to participate this year, due to a torn biceps and shattered humerus. If anybody needs a place, mine is for sale...

Made a very basic pizza for dinner: Shallots, potatoes, tomatosauce and a light sprinkle of fresh thyme:

If you're looking for a regular bikeshop, I'd look at http://www.bedoemmelse.dk/koebenhavn/cykelhandlere.html - Reviews of bikeshops in Copenhagen...

Edit: Where in Copenhagen is she located

Congratulations on the flat. The only bicycle shop I use is Track Bike Shop in Rantzausgade, but I don't think they see to many dutch bikes ;) They could probably still help you out, though. They have a bike mechanic from NZ who runs the shop monday, thursday and friday, if you wanted to give them a call:

YouTube - Jesper Skibby gets hit by car of racedirector

Yes. That's the one. Horrible move by the car.

Danish rider Jesper Skibby, lost his balance and fell on to a roadside bank of the Koppenberg in the 1987 Tour of Flanders, coming into contact with the race director’s car.

That's one way of putting it. Another would be to say that he fell, and then the race director's car chose to run over his bike. Can't find the bloody video on Youtube, though...

Depends on how much you're going to use it. Buy cheap, buy twice. With Dewalt you get a brand name and more watts. If it's for a one-off job, I'd take the unbranded one, though...

Had some dried figs in the cupboard. Poured boiling water on them, left them for half and hour and then drained them and put them in a small pot with the juice and peel from an orange, some cane sugar, yellow raisins and 1/3 bottle of port. Simmered for half an hour and is now ready to be served with vanilla icecream...

"Save Herne Hill"

Had a couple of friends show up unexpected, so we had to improvise dinner. We ended up making glazed ham, cream stewed kale and caramelised potatoes:

For dessert, I found some homemade kiwi sorbet and some vanilla icecream in the freezer and a bottle of '98 Burmester Colheita.

Made biscuits with my son:
1 dl. oatmeal
1 dl. sesameseeds
1 dl. linseeds
1 dl. pumpkinseeds
1 dl. sunflowerseeds
3½ dl. spelt- and regular flour
2½ dl. water
1 dl. oliveoil
1 tsp. (<- supposed to be teaspoon) baking powder
½ tsp. salt
Stirred together, spread on baking paper and cut with a pizza roller:

We've just had half a plate with emmental cheese and homemade blackcurrant marmalade. Fantastic...

Tried the ones on myp2p.eu?

brakeless custom bike

the montreal bike shop brakeless created this custom bike for one of their employee’s. the bike features
a range of gear that is sourced from many different companies. the frame by marinoni is particularly
interesting, featuring a small cut-out on the bottom to allow the rear wheel to be indented into the frame.

Heya Jesper! Thanks for the lowdown facts, super appreciate it. My internship is with an international organization they have given some places to look around but were very general on it. Though they will answer any questions I have. I am grinding my teeth on it because i am going back home this monday. I will get to London on the 7th of march which gives me one week to pack my belongings and fly to Copenhagen and start my job on the 14th.

I second Jv, it is impossible to find a one bedroom flat in London for £500 a month, it just not happens. A recently refurbished flat in central London is about £400 a week. If you are lucky you might find one that is a little run down at £300 a week. Obviously we are not talking covent garden cuz the prices there shoots up to probs £500 a week and it might not be a one bedroom but a studio.

I know Copenhagen is much more expensive than London, but I have been looking at places to live and they don't seem bad to me honest (rent wise). Obviously I do not know how much bills are supposed to be like water, electricity and internet (tax?) Is water and electricity monthly?

Thanks a lot for your help!!!!!

Water is often included in the rent, electricity, gas and heat is payed yearly, but often included in sublets.
The metro and S-trains covers most of the city, but you can ride from one end of the city to the other in half an hour give or take. You could try asking further questions on Fixie-King.dk/forum - Users are mostly from Copenhagen.

I have no idea what Hackney, West London & Covent Garden is like, but Copenhagen is quite small and the 'bad' areas are quite few. In my view it can be divided into:
Copenhagen K (City): Expensive and most likely not an option
Copenhagen V (Vesterbro): Trendy and more expensive than S, SV, NV and N. Also home to Istedgade with hookers, drugs and trendy café
Copenhagen N (Nørrebro): Multicultural with quite a lot of students, workers and immigrants. If you avoid the small ghettoes around places like Blågårds Plads and Mjølnerparken, it's relatively peaceful and one of the cheaper places.
Copenhagen Ø (Østerbro): Posh and expensive. Nice, quite.
Copenhagen S (Amager): Should be quite cheap as well. Mostly workers and students.
Copenhagen SV & NV: Workingclass and cheap.
(Anywhere it says 'cheap' above should be taken with a grain of salt - It's Copenhagen after all...)

Is her internship part of some kind of education under University of Copenhagen or similar? They have offices that help foreign students find a place to live.
Would a dormroom be a possibility? The dorms have subletting offices you could contact. I can find some for you, if you'd like.
If she's looking for a regular sublet apartment, she could try dba.dk (More specifically: http://www.dba.dk/boliger/lejebolig/lejelejlighed/antalvaerelser-1/reg-koebenhavn/?antalvaerelser=2 ). There'll be some classifieds in English...
A 1 bedroom flat will probably cost around 500£ a month - Maybe a little less. I've just moved into a 600 sq/ft apartment in the southern part of Copenhagen S and I pay a little more than 500£.
Living in Copenhagen isn't cheap. I think it rates as the most or the second most expensive town in the world.

And 3rd, if the impossible happens...

According to Danish papers Bendtner apparently came on and saved Arsenal yesterday? Seems impropable. Can anyone confirm?
