Might get this tomorrow, and I've got in unrelated but interesting tag to follow it. Been too long.

Made by this fine Scotsman if I'm not mistaken.

I reckon drugs should be decimalised. Less of this 1/8th nonsense.

This is how I first read the OP title.

Fantastic ride, thanks to Michael and The Incredibly On It Dude At The Back (I'm really sorry I didn't get your name). Think I definitely do the Cambridge ride again.

Cold feet.

I'm super stoked. Just picked up 6 heineken and a giant flapjack from Tesco, haven't decided which I'm going to save for the ride though.

Booo, 3rd dibs on the saddle bag.

Yeah, maybe the price was a bit steep.

Bargain! Keep hold of it, you may want to have a bike instead of 255 euros soon...

Four slots are good, it means it's a Roto (not 'cota') BB shell, which is AA / Special / Super territory. Minus the rust it sounds like a nice bit of kit. £140+ on here.

Is the bottom bracket cast or stamped? What does the fork crown look like? Does it have mudguard eyelets? Answers to these questions will tell you if it's an AA-Super, AA-Special, AA-Frame A-Frame, AB-Frame or B-Frame. That (along with the condition) will give you a price.

From the sounds of the kliko panels and a bit of rust, it's late 70's early 80's. Fully chromed fork is good news. Is the seat stay bridge a plate with cut-outs (looks a bit like a butterfly) or a bar? Up until about 79' they were the butterfly design, I'm sure DC will correct me on this. Is the brake cable routed internally or on top of the top tube? This will also tell you about the age. Actually, DC will probably be able to tell you the day it was made from the serial alone.

Should I keep my GP4000 / Vredestein combo or change to the pair of Veloflex Pavés I'm yet to try out? I've heard wonderous things about them, though puncture resistance isn't their strong point...

He lives!

Is Doug a pseudonym for Spike Milligan?

Amazing bike.

Who wants my early 80's Champion Mondial A-Frame, Shimano 600 and 105, almost perfect original paint, 53cm. £270 picked up...

Does anyone know how to find out the status of an eviction court case?

I'm trying to buy a flat with my brother but the current tenants need to be evicted before we can proceed. The guy that owns it is a joke, I wouldn't be surprised if it's not even with the courts yet, even though he's made us wait six months already. I just want to find out if it's even under way. Anyone gotz law skillz?

Must be the quickest tag yet! 57 mins.

I thought idea of a bonfire tag was good, I was hoping for a pic of a bike sat next to a big pile of ashes or at least some scorched earth. Did the place really get re-turfed so quickly?

That's exactly what I was expecting. Weirdly, the park attendant guy insisted that was where the bonfire had been.

Hm. Um. Ah. Er. :)

I promise. Ask svnlto.

Old tag - Battersea Park bonfire...

New Tag, in tandem with my girlfriend, who now calls me Taggy Cat.

If someone tells me where it is (think im in the hood but googling on an iphone is no fun) I'll go and tag a pile of ash. Might even be a boris bike tag.

Hey Poots and lol! It was indeed a Taggy Cat spoke card. Riding along Victoria/Chelsea embankment on a crisp autumn Saturday morning is a thing to behold. Hope the ladies ride was a smash.

Couple of fixed-gear girls at the junction onto Chelsea Bridge. Was going to wave or something but yeah, might have been weird. Whatevs. Must be on here.

These guys in Mile End do 6000-2RS for about £2.50 a pop. Better to confirm a price on the phone though, it seems to be up to the guy at the desk how much they charge. Don't wanna be taken for a mug.

As long as it's not hesitation, deviation or repetition, anything goes.
