It's 100% verified that it indeed does not count

I couldn't even get the Higginns to stay on the plinth for just a bit of elevation. Will brush up on my Photoshop skills then, at the moment I can just about crop and resize so not far to go. Perhaps some classes at BA?

Engineering Faculty Trumpington Street
Sorry two different bikes again, but a true hipster never rides the same bike twice in one day!

Fuck whittle, ain't no pretty boy beating me at a willing waving game of Pepsi max advert!

I guess you're at the bridge right now then fishing your bike out of the river. Just strip and regrease the BB, headset and wheel bearings and add a new chain. It will be as good as new, at least it isn't salt water!

I'm just going to throw myself in the river, save agonising over logistics

If you jump in holding the bike between you and the camera, and we can catch you mid-air, maybe Tom will allow it. May have to do a few jumps to get the timing right.

If the seat post is 27.2 it will be Reynolds 531DB tubing, whatever that proves.

1. it is a bob jackson. it looks like other bob jacksons, but more importantly, hilary stone says it's a bob jackson and i bought it from him. i tend to trust hilary's judgement because he's the bona fide marque enthusiast for most british framebuilders, has a long history in the industry, and i've been round his house.[/QUOTE]
   

Had another look at that bridge this morning (in a hailstorm), still too chicken to hang my bike there. Thought of doing it with a safety cord in case it slipped but decided against it. Look like it will have to be RV after all.

It looks as if you need the saddle level and at the right height. Then raise the bars a bit if you can do so safely. Would try 1" first and then another before deciding which you prefer. You have to make sure that there is enough of the stem in the fork column - easy if it is marked). If this doen't work conside saddle moved but make sure new seat post fits rails.

And, yes, I am confusing short stem with 'low' stem. I know the difference but my brain cannot compute long or short along the horizontal rather than vertical.

Our local (Cambridge BBC) radio station checked at a set of traffic lights and in 15 minutes saw 17 cars, vans, etc jumping red lights. They interviewed the local IAM representative who started talking about cyclists jumping red lights. The headlines on the station following this were that "IAM criticise number of cyclists jumping red lights" - no mention of the survey showing many more cars jumped lights.

^^ also intrigued by photo shoot behind, looks like a Ranger Quadra sitting on the floor

What is a Ranger Quadra? Too large for a camera, is it lighting?

I wondered because the bridge is near the Engineering Faculty at Cambridge. Still trying to work out how Tom got his bike on that ledge. Certainly not risking mine! Thought about cord round the saddle to lower it, but then wondered how to get it back - perhaps he will just leave it there.

Yes, I remember you! But no, I'm not in Cambridge. I just like this thread.

Are you in Cambridge now Oliver, we met up at the East Ride in London earlier this year, I was there with Patricia who had a small Hetchins track bike, I had Mercian track with barber's pole.

I know Tom said it had to be at the top, but Help the Aged said half-way up would be OK for a pensioner. Double-helix sculpture on Genome Cycle Path.

Easy ground-level one - the clue is in the image.
All I need now is a lo-pro to become a fully-qualified Cambridge hipster.

Fantastic piece Jacqui.

Getting my move on..
It was about 3 am and I was woken up by some commotion outside. Then, I felt the unmistakable rock of the boat and heard more banging about.
I was sure someone had boarded. My first thought was that they were stealing my bike.
The rocking continued as did the banging about so I got out of bed. Duckie was going mental. I have an attack cat I thought, how cool.
I left the lights out and went to the door and as quietly as possible I unlatched. Duckie was now by my side eagerly watching the door.
I swung the door open and came face to face with my intruder.
We stared at eachother for a stunned moment.
I quickly closed the door.
Our faces had been inches away from eachother and it was impossible to say who was more shocked.
Tentatively, I re-opened the door.
The intruder was still paralised and staring in the same way.
I was more calm this time and in the moments the door was open this second timeI noted many things.

He was beautiful and big. Much bigger than I'd imagined they'd be. He was also from what I could tell, very healthy. His eyes were bright, his coat a stunning and glossy red. His face and torso was full and fat.

I have just come face to face, with a fox.

Amazing.

Mental note, do not leave my bin bag on the back deck.

Years ago there was a racing team and nation-wide seller of saloon-car racing mods in Abbey Road. They raced later version of Austin 7 - the A35. Main driver was a local doctor known as Doc Shepherd, it was great to see these A35s carve up all the big Jags, Fords and American cars at Silverstone. I think the site is now the lock-ups half-way up from the river but not much to make a tag from. Get up that double helix RV and lets get things moving.

This was obviously too easy,
Ray Walkers old garage on Perowne street. Ray Walker was a great mechanic specialising on Austin7's . My dad used to take me and brother down there when we were kids and we'd spend hours hanging about whilst
they pissed about with old motors. He died about 18 years ago. Sad to see his yard all derelict now.

Tried to follow it but I was sober - looks like you did it after a long session at the Maypole.

Penetration requisite is waved.

This is a gps track of part of the ride -

bring it home innanzi

Come on Innanzi, this ones yours...

Sorry folks I was on the plane to Florence and couldn't get the pilot to drop it down into Bridge Street for a couple of minutes. Home now so still waiting to get my Cambridge Hipsters badge.

Looks like the back of a catering establishment. College?

Beat me to it by 10 minutes - if anyone didn't know, it was Mill Road cemetery at the back of the Cambridge Blue, haven't a clue for this new one. Glad this thread is running as it is a good chance to see the bikes as well.

Somewhere along the side of Mill Road...

Doesn't seem to be by the cemetery which was my first thought and only just round the corner. Will have a look up the other end if it ever stops raining.

We had a flat and a whiney bitch so had to find the nearest thing possible. ....

Was the 'whiney bitch' on the Cinelli or the lo-pro?

Lifeguards packed up and gone home drove along beach in few inches of water to collect flags - simples

Testing image upload

fuck. didn't think anyone would get it for a while....

Well you fooled me, I checked all the boathouses this afternoon - suppose that was too obvious.

I was going for the last one this morning but you beat me to it. New flats on the riverside close to the Steam Museum. No idea where the trailer is yet.

When you find the place and show it, can you say where it is. I think that is how it goes. Still hoping to get one soon!
