He's a good guy, met him a couple of times.

Never noticed the shorter rochford sponsorship before - they are based near me in north London. Must look into the link.

Shouldn't the wheels be the other way around?

my problem with swrve stuff is, that my shorts, for example, discoloured from enjoying riding under the sun for at least 2 years now, and there's nothing else wrong with them to buy a new pair.

True. My 2 year old blue jeans pair are almost sky blue now compared to the deep royal blue they used to be.

Be interested in hearing people's experience dying them as was concerned how well the funny fabric would take it.

anyone got the less-than-ideally-stretchy skinny black jeans?

Yeah I have - the aren't as easy to get on and off as regular stretchy jeans, I can't roll up the leg as far as I'd like and they're a little stiff when mounting, but when riding they're fine.

To stop at the traffic lights would have caused an accident, the driver behind me was driving too close so I decided to drive through. Do I have a defence?
If the light was red, it is not a defence. There are no circumstances for passing the stop line when the lights are red.

Did the driver not stop either, then? Were they also ticketed?

Land Shark, how could you?

I went into hospital when I fell off and landed on my knees and the doctor asked me if I was wearing a helmet. I said I was but I didn't hit my head anyway, and why are you asking? He said they just have to keep a record of that, and the conversation went on a bit and he did acknowledge that as a motorcyclist himself, bicycle helmets might not really be offering significant levels of protection, and human skulls are surprisingly robust.

not exactly porn but certainly interesting

Nice cranks: http://www.dolan-bikes.com/dolan-track-bikes/track-bikes/track-bike-carbon/dolan-df4-carbon-track-bike.html?

That does seem like a very odd choice for the promo shot.

Around 7:30pm last night, passing Canning Town station saw some serious high end slavery.

Black Canyon track frame, Scatto bars and ~80mm carbon rims.

Must be on here?

No worse than my trek district...which I realise now would be at home in here.

Your Trek District has a luminous green aerospoke?

Maybe because that's his favourite one, or that he was bored of the omnizen cliché.

Nope, he said it was because it was cheap.

Just because some rich, straight american dickheads decide that word means something else doesn't suddenly stop it being fucking horrible and homophobic and seriously just shut the fuck up and fuck off.

That bike got posted on Reddit by the owner - apparently he works in the Mash store.

Got hit by a car on his first ride.

I asked him why he chose that chainring as it looks a little out of place. Apparently because it's 'cheap'. Guy spends $1200+ on a bike and only $20 of that is the chainring?

Also, being outside what appears to be the home of a central american drug lord villain in a bad 90's action movie doesn't help either.

Let's start again.

Untaped Enve bars are slave, right?

No, and neither is that saddle, the bar ends, chain, chainring and the red inside the chainstays.

I hate it when I miss drama.

Don't mind that at all.

Yep, I like it.

Erm ... when I try to imagine that frame built up into a whole bike I can only see it as being completely fucked. The angles look horrendously off.

Nah, happy to leave it be. Hopefully that's it for the next four years, and the next one will be even less serious. Was just astounded it was the same outfit and thought it worthy of internet moaning.

The next cyclist or pedestrian might not be so lucky.

Report them.

As someone with drinks commitment issues, having flitted between norths and wests like a fickle toddler, I would actually be totally down with this if others are.

'independent'/'independence'

Indapandant.

It's carbon, you noob, and don't worry I'm getting a new one now.

So what happened? What did you do? Did you follow Howard's advice?

Any more info? Photos?

Thanks.

About to post the same thing about 'Rustic'.

Dredging ancient threads just to post a meaningless character, really annoying when people do this.
