Here's one my mate took of him.

I just don't get the socks or whatever they are with the not so hot pants. Also if commuting to work, where are his work clothes. Unless he's a stripper of course! That's it, he uses his thighs to cling to the pole. shudders

He goes very slow so we just sped past him on Westminister bridge , pulled over by the pub on Lower Marsh St and waited for him to pass. Had to get a photo of him.

Prowling like a panther, **The Black Panther **(TBP)

That's HIM. Should see him in motion.....
How'd you manage to get a pic?

Hi Hi!

are you Lloyd I met on good friday?

Tak jest Marcin!
In English that's right

plastidip isn't as durable as powdercoating, a scratch on plastidip could make the whole thing peel over time, but it's the cheapest way to get really nice fluro matte colours

Apparently it's durable enough to be used on floors.
I understand the product also comes in gloss and metallic and no doubt many other effects too...

Re peel - that could be seen as a good thing, as you could just peel and respray. Could also be more durable against knocks from locks etc and aid frame protection...
I saw the product and was/am intrigued by the possibilities, its decent quality (for what it is) and its relative low price.
Maybe warrants being its own thread instead of highjacking this on? I'm fairly new to LFGSS so forgive me if I've gone off topic.

I should probably add that I've had a bike powdercoated by Armourtex in 2008 and it's holding up well and I don't work for plastidip or related company ;P

This sounds interesting!

Check out this vid. Ignore the colours and the sales talk...
And here's how to get it off

What you think?

Anyone else see a guy on a black bike , black Lycra top , black face mask with black hot pants and socks over his knees? Seen him about 5.30 going over Westminster bridge. Strange man !

I think he lives near me in Blackheath. I often see him just after leaving home and occasionally on the New Kent Road. Always looks like his saddle is about six inches too low.

Oh you just given me a flashback.... saw something/someone similar on Whitehall about 8:50. All black one piece(?), black cap, with a v determined look on his face. double shudder.
Strong look though!

Seen him once, still troubling me. Luckily I only do Whitehall mon & fri...

Has anyone ever considered using plastidip or similar product?

I bought a similar product recently and used it (incorrectly) to coat my 10 year old bike helmet. Would have been ace job if I had the sense to follow the instructions properly, but am fairly happy with the result and possibly the best thing is that it can be pealed off without damaging the surface underneath. I'm surprised there isn't any chatter about it on here, or is that for good reason?

Out from the blue fiesta behind the minicab pops a uniformed police officer.

I read that as uninformed... :D

JackDD(?) going down Holloway Road (upper section) about 6ish? Would have DAS'd you but my son was demanding I sing nursery rhymes and catch and pass the bus ahead...

or three, or four....

Are you guys going have any stuff left once this huge hoard is sold off?

Nice bag. Guy looks like his face is stuck in the wall... ouch!

My eyes are still burning after seeing the hot-pant wearing OKR stealth time trialler this morning. shudders

Young lady in black hot pants on a blue Lopro, stopping to take in the sights outside Big Ben. Not too cold for hot pants? Nice, erm wheels btw

Please do. My RockShox (+frame) are dull and could do with some much needed sticker action!

dimi3, how did you come by all those stickers for your forks? Thinking of doing something similar with my other bike. Looks good!

here's mine on facebreak

I took a few snaps but not enough!

Some nice snaps

Aha. I thought they were trying to race...
Having heard him speak very briefly, I can understand why he's called DublinKevin #properaccent

Yeah the blue Lo pro rider had a GoPro

I hope he got me and Apollo towing the skaters!

There must have been at least two then, the one I remember seeing wasn't on a Lo pro. Possibly a female rider, not sure.

Skaters? When was this? Totally missed that! :(

Anyone have any pictures?
I saw a few people taking snaps.

Fairly certain I saw at least one GoPro so possibly some video too ?

:)

Looks like you fell asleep on electric beach!

I told you about coke shimmy ages ago but you ignored my advice. Whatevs.

Didn't cut it and fit it for me though... :P

First forum ride completed, nice ride it was too. Great weather, thx for tips, advice and Apolo for coke shimmy.
