SO SO so like - to use a facebookism!
I followed lfgss to get ride info and general banter, character assassination but just get bits for sale that I cant afford and stuff I dont like also!Classifieds are the reason I'm not very happy about following LFGSS on Twitter. It's crazy how many twit-twuts appears daily and it's purely stuff for sale or wanted.
-
Restricting the forum to fixed and single as it is named works for me! I get confused when I read a thread then hear about gearing ratios etc! its lfgss not lfgssagb!
Classified's in a seperate area/portion of the sight would work for me. could be highlighted by a box around the title, or a different colour font, highlighted background?
colour coding each type of discussion topic - Bike porn, Classfieds, wank my bike, etc etc.
Mobile site - agree with the comment about upgraded phones! most peeps have smart phones these days. if not wait till your at a lappy or PC because you wont get much joy on one of those old phones!
my thrupenny bits!!

Ta Richoking, seems a lot of peeps are prima donas cause tatt's are cool these days. Thats fart and ashion I suppose. and long may it live!
@ Mr G - I had a piece done at Frith St and the guy who did it was amazing but the owner was a total twunt and their 2 best artists, imo, have left now. I wouldn't recommend there.

Chainbreaker (anyone else doing the SE ride to Roebuck tonight)

If I can make it I will, but not looking likely! Will PM you in case you miss this.

Ta lileth, not sure about he diamonds - girls best friend - but skulls are me!
I noticed a post many pages ago mentioning the owner of "Prick" in shoreditch. He did my backpiece. Great work I love it, but he named the shop after himself i reckon! adn I dont want to give him any more of my money.
hence trying to find another, seen in2u mentioned a number of times and Frith street. I also randomly saw a place on mare street Hackney, run by a latino and his son I think. anybod know the place? the work?
and whats this fixation with sailor steve? he a legend for his work? or people just like his lifestyle! lol
Havent yet heard of anyone here being an artist, just tons of the guys can recommend you to good one.
Im in love with diamonds and skulls. Already got two diamonds, but getting a sleeve based on that, roses, dotwork and some blackwork.
-
Cool thread, anyone in here an artist?
I'm looking to get another tattoo - Mayan Calendar. Not sure where exactly though. Got a large Mayan vision serpent on my back so no space. was thinking maybe front of my body or my side.
what are people's views on skulls? i love em personally and want a couple dotted around my body. trying to develop a new image though, to set it apart from the bulk standard.

OZ I hear you, and agree. But from my perspecive I dont get much riding in - kid and high maintenance high heels wearer! and am trying to get into the scene a bit so I can learn about my own bike and frames etc - trawling thru forums is mind numbing compared to a ride and off the cuff chat.
I got a lot to learn and trying to find the best way to learn. But I'll take it as it comes..

-
Just ride dude. Make your own.
True true.. bit like Billy no mates though!
And getting befiended by tourists on Boris's Barmy Blue Barclays bikes aint cool! apart from the tasty continental muff - far too infrquent though. I normally get Ivan or Olga!
Must say I like to see more bikes on the road, even those bulky blus cnts!
-
Thanks for fixing the link hippy, much appreciated. Please let Mr know what the prob waa broken.
Hey chainbreaker, hope to see you on the streets. Just don't shout "fakenger" at me, cause I might fall off or crash!
Anybody got any tips on procuring cheap bits? Wheels, peddle etc. I hear all these stories of peeps finding mint pieces in bins and skips. All I find are syringes and used condoms!

Was just searching for images and came across this

I often have to remind myself that not everyone in London are cunts. However, there seems to be a higher incidence of cunts amongst those who get given a uniform as part of their job package.
Go to your LBS - they'll have a load of light brackets from ex-display models etc. and if any good will probably give you a replacement gratis (if they have one).
And rise above it. They've got a shit job. You've got a nice bike and (what sounds like) a good future career.
What is a "LBS"?
apologies I'm a noob! thats noob not nob. I've seen how people's posts get destroyed in these forums, lol

"If you have gears you will be shunned then beaten while being shouted at to "do a skid".
Whats a Fakier? Who's the Fakiest?"ahhhh I feel at home now breathe's out and pops belt buckle. I dont know how people can jump on that geared shit, seriously cant ever be as sexy as a fixed/snigle! but each to their own I suppose.
Fakier was the term I was told cause I have a thin frame as opposed to a Charge type. But once I get some cash and a bad attitude I'm gonna be on the fix.

oops i missed this "say hello" bit1
The names Mr G - work moniker thats stuck - I'm looking to join rides but mostly to learn how to fix my almost bulk standard Maurice Mongoose 700! I like it as it is but wanna find nice black 5 spokes for the front wheel and maybe a paint job. I need some foot retention pedals first though methinks!
This is my prowler as is.. that French blokes above is really nice, it seems I need to change frames to ge a sexy bike.
