I know Surlys have short head tubes, but wow.

At least get the name right, it's a CAT Cheetah. Jeez.

How did they find you?!?

Turns out it's not leather at all, it's nylon. Seems San Marco thought it'd be a good idea to produce a B-17 copy called the GLR. God knows why they made it out of plastic. Hmm...

Roadie is looking well, Tom

Poor thing barely gets ridden now. Hibernating for winter. Will take some porny shots of it at some point

Me:

Some bikes wot I have:

The fixed gear scene in Norwich is exploding. Post your face and bikes ITT so we can all wave at each other.

Much help, thanks. I'd dropped from 110kg+ to 97 doing 2-3 group rides a week, plus running on Saturday and 1-2 swim sessions, with my University triathlon club. But then I went to California over Christmas and ate too much and got out the habit. Now I'm out of university, I think dietary control has to come more to the fore, there's just way too much conflicting information and budget concerns are ever present. I will embrace the bean salads

That's what I started on with my first track bike. Fine once you get going, but swiftly got tiresome around town.

What I have on my actual track bike for pottering around though, and didn't stop me getting up some frankly silly hills in north London

since then I've lost 1kg a week

@Velocio, what were you doing to manage that, and how sustainable is it?

That's me, been crossing paths all day!

Did ~50 miles on the same GI (38:15) yesterday, it's fucking knackering on the flats trying to keep up with geared bikes. As soon as I dropped off the back and rested a bit it was fine. Back up to 74gi this morning

Righto, see you there

City's fine, just say when and where

About tomorrow if you are?

All my best riding bikes have been aluminium, but then I'm not some 70kg featherweight, so ymmv.

Not too bad that, got a few the other day.

Tonight though, Tripel Karmeliet. Always a winner, and the first tripel I ever tried, at the Norwich beer festival

TIL 67 gear inches is not enough for even a slowish club ride. And that having your chain come off and then lock the wheel just as you're pulling onto a verge and stacking you hurts

I'll take a punt on £15 if it's comfier than this bloody Charge thing

The reverse brake lever is great if you ever need to take it off without fuss, it's what I use. If you're going to tape it all up, just use hoods

#tracknottarck surely?

Shiny. Interesting that his has a unicrown fork, looks like an older model.
