^ If you'd like to know what a typical group is like, I can tell you many, many tales (ex-ramblers employee). Ramblers, generally, make cyclists look like a friendly bunch, and I say this as someone who was ridden into on my commute this morning.

I would like to hear the tales.

number6 repped. post of the day.

2nd dibs?

The Charge Plug was my first SS bike and I still recommend them to novices who ask me - I think they're good if you're not too hung up on performance but want something user-friendly, something you can switch the components around on and learn to fix and maintain, make your own, etc.
However, now you've said it, I'd go for the On One. Or have you considered a Surly?

Good to know. This is one bike that's not going to fucking Weale's Wheels, that's for sure.

Sigh, he's also been pissing me about for a few weeks. Too busy 'with exams' to come and pick up a frame I'm giving him FOR FREE but not too busy to get himself banned from lfgss.com.

Wondering if any kind forum mom/pop can lend me a travel cot fit for a two-year-old, mid-June? Just for a weekend visit from some in-laws. I'll arrange collection at your convenience and ply you with alcohol or baked goods. Thanks!

Took me a long time to get hold of one of these!

Oh shit I missed this band so much and didn't even know it

Dibs Charge dish wheelset, PMing now

MBK and Kingfisher all but taken. Updating with wheel listings and maybe even some spicy price drops this evening.

UPDADTED

All offers considered. Collection on Roman Road E3, or can ferry smaller bits into office around Brunswick area.

Pictures

1. Freecycle - 'Kingfisher' frame, found by the road in Southwark and walked home. Project begun but never taken seriously - seatpost and saddle I'll throw in as incentive (seatbolt/clamp missing). Might be some wheels for this kicking about but I think I probably scrapped them. Fairly rusty, but as it's quite small I reckon it'd make your teenager a bombproof pub bike. Couldn't be arsed with measuring it, sorry. Awaiting collection - Chickenleaverpuller

2. 4 sets of handlebars - 1 pursuit, 2 x risers (one with fairly knackered Oury grips), 1 x bullhorn, all black. Will edit with measurements shortly. £5 each or £15 the lot.

3. Beater white fork, original ad said "off a white visp. dropouts are in good shape, heavy fork but super strong. Steerer cut down to 210mm which was suitable for a 56cm visp frame with a few spacers to spare".** Price drop! £5!**

4. Ladies step-thru MBK frame Sold

5. Truvativ pedals and On One straps, bought off here for a bike they didn't suit so I've never used them. Price drop! £25!

6. [Not pictured] Shimano 9-speed chain, bought in error, still in packaging, £5

7. One big 700c front wheel I found in the road, one rear filp-flop 700c wheel which may be buckled (and I'm relinquishing the freewheel it's pictured with), one rear wheel with a rusty-ass Sturmey 3-speed hub. All yours for one shiny bottle of beer if you can be bothered picking them up.

PM & dibs, as ever. Thanks for looking.

Dibs. PMing now.

Exact same problem with my Grippps. Ugh.

inverse racism!

I thought we were looking up what a raclette pan is.

Haven't heard "testy" in ages, going to try and use it today

Id take a few of these too if splitting?

Just dropping in to say WAFC. Good luck with this - really recommend making all the calls re: CCTV soon, as it only gets more difficult with time.

^ I also see an 'on here' looking bike with rear disc often on Roman Road - can't remember bike exactly, but backpack has a road sign-looking blue arrow logo on it. Is this you as well? I'll shout out the window next time :)

Peacock > Fish pee

Immediately forced to Google "can you eat peacock"

Imagine somehow an offence - as swan is to Queen Liz, perhaps peacock is property of... Liberace?

Cock soup > Fish tea

Oh my fucking god.

Going to Almeida theatre tonight just off Upper st, anywhere new(ish) on Upper st I should try for dinner beforehand?

A chef mate was mentioning John Salt recently...?

Dibs.
