I fucking love stars and stripes paint jobs.

Anodising on the braking surface will wear off to silver pretty quickly anyway so it's probably not worth getting just for reasons of vanity (I've struggled with this dilemma myself...)

I guess you probably don't want to go down that route but you can get Chinese carbon with a claimed weight around 1500g easily within that budget.

Velocity A23s are a little lighter and cheaper and supposedly better (but don't look as cool), and mdcc_tester always says Novatec hubs are all right and they're a good bit lighter.

Scoble would probably just recommend I take the bike to someone who can do braze ons then throw it in their bin and get them to build me a 650b bike. Or something.

I think I'll try the tubus thing with my road bike as it's actually the stupider idea.

For a solid axle on a fixed bike, sorry... unless I'm missing something obvious.

I thought of fitting the one I linked to vertically but I figure if it's going to sag it would sag however it's mounted, just slower maybe. Also the rack would be too high.

It would be quite entertaining to get that^^ and put a rack on my rad pink Cannondale tho.

Do you think this would support a rack and panniers with up to about 10kg in them? I would have to guess no but on the off chance someone knows different...

How about p-clips? Any other axle mounting options?

Hey wait

I did want it Ben but I was on holiday and have only just managed to sell my bike. Straying away from NJS frames for now. I am sure I will return...

blatant lies much?

Oooh. That's lovely. I knew it was going to be more nice japanese shit.

You're going for road drops and levers then? I'd really like to do that with an NJS frame too...

going to come if I survive guinness

so this is a pointless post really as I don't expect to

PM'd

^^cool, thought it would be something like that. Somehow reluctant to put Campag on mine tho...

What's your plan for the Cannondale? Just curious because mine needs some work and I can't decide whether to just replace a couple of bits or whether to basically change everything.

Purely out of interest; how do you rate good and bad with something so abstract?
What makes this track good or different to anything else in the genre?

Well part of the answer to that question is that this track, and the album as a whole, doesn't sound so incredibly abstract to me. There's definite structure and some kind of musicality in there, and a clear idea that he's trying to express (obvious on the full album). There's a lot of noise like this that's, if perhaps not "composed" as such, at least "constructed" or something and I judge it just the same as I would anything else.

I could more easily understand you asking that question if I posted something like this
and the answer is that there's definitely "bad", when it's just too static and boring, or too predictable if you're used to noise, or (unintentionally) shittily made, and sometimes there's "good", when there's a particularly interesting combination/sequence of noises or something that sound really truly unpleasant, but a lot of it is basically the same and I like it because I like noise as a whole. Bear in mind most of it is improvisation and I'd much rather see it live if I can.

Also I have started many arguments by asking the same thing about [insert traditional genre of music] and sometimes I mean it. Especially with the genre of people with guitars singing about emotions.

Simultaneous and unanimous, cheers.

Won't wait though, I'm buying second hand.

Electric tape is probably the best way to go but I use a sharpie on Les because I'm lazy and it looks fine.

HTC One S or Samsung Galaxy Nexus?

I think I want the HTC and it looks better on paper but a guy said that HTC suck now and the Galaxy Nexus is like way cool.

Also I can probably get HTC One X for a few quid more but locked on Orange, could I unlock that without too much trouble? I'm actually on Orange but I want to change soonish.

Please treat me like a stupid child/don't just tell me to google it because I tried and I was too stupid to understand.

No man it's art. Art.

DAS'd Boris Johnson on Shaftesbury Avenue. He DACW (did a confused wave).

this is probably the most or perhaps only overhyped noise release ever but it is quite good

Desperately trying to find a pic of Shinkuu's Alan..

It's not an Alan. It just says "Alan" on it.
Anyway.

tbh I usually just lock this with the min evo round the head tube but I brought out the fahg this evening

going to get it resprayed by Stu F's guy, probably some multi-colour fade, I'd kinda like to make it so it looks like two different builds mashed together but it really needs to have matching cranks front and rear so probably not
