Would they be welcoming to a club noob turning up and riding on their club runs? I saw some on the glendene site, but the distance varied and there was no indication about speed.

I don't want to get dropped on my first time out with them!

So, has anyone got any hidden gems for cheap meals or take out?

I'll start off with one I imagine most will know - beigel shop on brick lane. 24 hour and a huge salt beef bagel for 2.50ish..

Your turn

EDIT: one more idea, could you possibly put the prices per head/dish?

Snap!

I too need exactly the same thing. Hopefully there are a few around!

(sorry to hijack your thread)

Good frames well built strong and light

Thank you!

What are people's experience of their frames? I've been offered one and wanted to see if anyone had any thoughts.

Cheers

55 square preferably front drilled.

Chips, surface rust not a problem, will sacrifice looks for tubing.

Thanks in advance.

From what I remember this was announced a few months ago. This is just a re hashed announcement to capitalise in the public's (brief?) interest in cycling.

Anyone up for a ride this weekend? I'll have my newly re-sprayed frame built up and itching to get some use out of it before doing the Herne Bay ride next week

Hey Stu it looks like I won't be back in Brentwood until early September so we might miss each other. Do you have any routes you've been doing lately mapped? I've only been to there a handful of times.

Some planned routes will help motivate me to go out when the horrible winter weather inevitably comes.

EDIT: just seen one ride already mapped (must try harder when reading threads)

It was slightly wobbly because my chain had become a bit slack. Probably needed a tighten with a handy tool from my father's garage though. Thanks for the advice guys.

Sounds good. Hopefully I'm back before you leave. I'll need some group rides in the winter to motivate me in the awful weather we'll most likely have.

Sounds good. I will post when I'm back. Do you guys go fixed?

Is anyone familiar with any clubs in the Brentwood/Chelmsford area of Essex?

Doing a loop round Brentwood/Writtle/Ongar on Saturday if anyone's interested, leaving late morning.Feel free to join anywhere on route I'm sure we can work something out, or meet us at Shenfield station

How long is this ride? Are you still doing in regularly? I'm moving to Brentwood in a few weeks woul be up for joining if you do.

Anyone have any recommendations or somewhere good in east? Moved back from Brighton and would really appreciate some advice.

I have a Jamis Sputnik, the 2011 model (http://www.jamisbikes.com/usa/thebikes/road/fixies/11_sputnik_spec.html)

I'm not sure 'a little crash' would loosen your cranks Jack.
I would have a good investigate to make sure something hasn't bent.

A people carrier pulled out from a side road which resulted in me skidding into it, hitting it with my face and coming off the bike. Luckily my worst injury with a tiny cut on my nose and scraped balls? (not sure how that happened).

Ever since the two arms have been just slightly loose - I thought it may have been when I bounced off the vehicle the bike hit the ground funny. I hope it's not serious.

Your Dad should have a tool for this - go into the garage and ask him for his help.

Probably an Allen key.

Ha. I've just realised the original post made me sound about 8.

Thank you.

I had a little crash on my bike, and now the cranks are slightly wobbly. Not much but it's annoying me. Do I need to buy/borrow a tool to tighten them, or is there a household tool my Dad would have in his garage.

I know they're not cottered cranks, they kind of look like a big allen key would do it?

Can't tell you too much about the rest of the route, but turn left up Redbridge Lane West, and head through to Wanstead - that will take you off the mad bit of the A12. And wave to me from the Roundabout.

The other alternative is to go down Wanstead Park Road, through Ilford and pick up Romford Road.

This was what I was thinking. By the flats, through Stratford and along Mile End road into town.

A406 down to the Beckton Roundabout then third exit..... the red circle forbidden signs are just for tourists really, I wouldn't worry about them.

I thought about that, or possibly going out on the M11, round the M25 and back in. If I catch the slipstream of a truck or large van I'll be there in no time at all...

Fuckn TUUUne.

Agreed. That album has this on it too, which is also amazing

Anyone have a good route for this ride? Will be my commute for a few weeks and was wondering if there was any forum wisdom for a nice ride.

Fans of the music in this thread might like to come to my club night on Thursday 19th July.

It's at The Waiting Room in Stoke Newington, runs from 9-2 and is free all night. Further details here:
