I imagine shifting would be pretty "vintage" in feel, but would work.

Any flexibility? Would 4cm or 6cm work?
-
Are you after 110mm exactly or is there wiggle room? Any preference for colour?
-
46T inner? Blimey, that must have come from some hefty gearing setup.
What's your concern with 39/46 on the front? I'm currently running a 34/46 and it's fine. A smaller difference between chainrings should give fewer issues in terms of shifting as far as I can work out.

Old school or fixie-skidder style?

Good reminder to donate a small sum from my last sales thread. I'm not sure I can afford a monthly donation of the size that would be worthwhile. I used to have a regular donation every six months so I might look into that.

Monday price drops!

I recall pulling up next to this on my way home a few years back. Very nice in the steel.
-
Nice!
The audio on this one isn't from the live performance, but the outfits are totally worth the mismatch.

Whole bunch of Easter price drops!

My question is really whether the black walled versions ride differently from the tanwall versions. I'd probably not bother to spend the extra for folding ones, but want to check that the black ones have the same supple feel as the tanwall ones.
-
Thanks, they seem to do both the amber and black wall versions in folding and steel bead, so I'm not sure that's the distinction between them. There also seems to be an "urban" version on sale in some places, but that may just be old stock.

Just tried to log into my account. Apparently they want my photo ID because I tried to log in from an unknown device.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck all the way off, Meta.

Has anyone tried the all-black Panaracer Paselas? I really like the tanwall the new and was wondering if the black wall ones offered the same (or very similar) ride quality with a bit more puncture protection on the sidewalls.
-
That sounds like a very familiar Saarflandan thing.
-
I keep hearing people use the sentence construction "It needs [word ending in '-ed']" like "It needs fixed" or "it needs sorted". This sounds really strange to me, compared to "it needs fixing" or "it needs sorting".
Where has this come from? Is it from anywhere in particular?
-
Interested in the Brooks. PM incoming

Excellent work from the Sampson Boat Co. yesterday getting the front door installed on the Tally Ho.

Is this within tolerance?

Instant stank face!

London Fixed Gear and Single-Speed is a community of fixed gear and single-speed cyclists.
Shared space is a challenge, mixing cyclists and pedestrians always degrades the usefulness of the path as a place to get from A to B quickly on a bike. Add to that the fact that many shared paths are in nice locations where pedestrians might just be out for a relaxing stroll and there's plenty of potential for conflict.
Ultimately it's cyclists' responsibility not to ride into pedestrians or cause them alarm. I disagree that pedestrians know that they're not in any harm; our brains just don't do that type of analysis immediately after the sudden unexpected appearance of a fast moving object from behind us. Some pedestrians might resent us being there but (the inevitable small percentage of misanthropes aside) that's because the design isn't really optimal for anyone.
All you can do is leave smashing Strava segments for the road, cycle slowly around pedestrians, bear in mind that there might be various reasons why they're less aware of you than you'd like, and try to judge the perfect moment to ring your bell/say something where you're near enough for them to hear you but far enough away not to startle them.
