Hello there fine peoples. I had my first Polo bike stolen off of the Oxford Street area yesterday. Slim chances and all, but gotta give it a shot.

It's the exact bike as in the picture but with some different parts.

It's a Silver charge plug with the main body taped up in electrical tape. This is what is NOT similar to the picture.

Saddle and seatpost will be a Bontrager on unknown Carbon seatpost.
Pedals will be black with black horizontal straps.
Front wheel will be a black box section rim Araya on a shimano hub.
The bars will be some tiny unknown things on a silver stem with some black Tektro brakes on it

All other parts are: Charge plug in medium.
Unknown cranks (LONG)
Black Rigida rear rim on a Miche hub.
Fuji forks

I love this thing. If anyone can spot it, please kidney punch or just holla holla. It's a simple bike with shitty miss match parts, but I love it very much.

Ahhh...all these problems of dust and oil! It just makes me sad! My lovely D200 has been dropped, slapped, punched, watered, used as an offensive weapon, fallen off a moving motorcycle, actually gotten me laid, used as as a glove, as a disco stick even as a door stop.

Still works flawlessly. I'll upgrade at some point sure, but this thing is going with me to the grave.

You can get the Arione brand new on Merlin cycles for £50.

I heart this thread. Much to learn, much to gawp at.

Funny how the one of the most derogatory words used by a lot of males is one of the most sought after things by well...males.

Dibs restraps and pedals. PM

Yo, what size is it? May be interested.

Only one way this time, can't manage two ways in this heat!

Will be getting the train back yes.

It'll be the first time I've navigated there on my own but I've done the ride there before.

Bugger! I'd totally be up for this but bag and wallet stolen so can't do train for the next week or so. Gutted. Good luck man, perfect Sunday ride.

Brighton this sunday, route likely the BHF 54 miles one, calm fixed friendly pace.

Likely a bit of getting lost, anyone is welcome.

This is tempting...both ways or train? I've never done Brighton.

Put some wheels on it and ride it home like this.

Whilst there is truth in this, they are forgetting that the old pros used to take hundreds of photos for that 'one' shot (e.g. Bresson). So that aspect hasn't changed, just it's been become more accessible to the public. So it's just the next level from when digital came in ten years ago.

I completely agree. It's no new trend. It's just progressed technologically. Motors have been around for decades; combined with what was then cheap film to develop and process, they were doing exactly the same as we do.
Sure, some forms of Photography are becoming more curatorial than practical (Google images exhibition), but suggesting that in the future we will dismiss creative control in place of ease of use sounds like the theories people put forward a while ago that film is truly dead. It's not. It's a different approach to a familiar concept. Photography, but with patience.
Sometimes people want complete control as opposed to ease of use.
I'd say it's an natural evolution rather than "The future".

Just because we can fly to the top of a mountain, doesn't mean people will stop doing it by foot.

Ignoring the obvious flaws, it looks glorious..

Effortless elegance. Reminds me of this for some reason.

Just did some more research on the Comet. That is one pretty plane.

Thanks, might of got a Hexar for £200...

Yo, I'm curious, why high end? Don't get me wrong, I frikking love my cameras (Wouldn't mind a G2), but most high end 90's AF point and shoots were for people with more money than sense. You no like A yashica Electro? That F1.7 Is a monster.

I've developed lots of black and white that I have never seen beyond negatives held up against a window – I'm dying to make some contact sheets but I've never done it so would need a hand.

Can you elaborate on your offer? What's the cost and could you give some guidance?

+1 on some schooling, i'd be up for that

....Expensive..... It's the reason I stopped printing. Paper and developer just got our of hand. Pack of 25 8x10 sets you around 15quid. You can go through that in one couple hour session. I'd love to start printing again, only if someone pays for chemicals....

Maybe I should own two pre cursas...with gussets to boot...

Funny how it's always the same people who comment on these threads. Also.....Wish I was rolling some dough. Lovely camera.

+1

Same thoughts on this and the above linked thread, must be more people making porteurs out there..?

I havent gotten around to it. Made a shabby one with a chunk of old skateboard. came out pretty well, but I want something more durable. I'd really like to hear more about this, including the parts list. I hate how expensive store bought stuff is. Either that or its massive and bulky.

Really tempted to repost that racked concorde. I love that thing so much!

I'm gonna start an event where people have to run from a squad firing rubber bullets. It's for charity.....

General description (nothing
Specific) of what Sarah looks like? So we know what to look for and who should be on it. Also any distinguishing marks, stickers, mods to the bike? I've started seeing these quite frequently so might help people.

Simplistic living - has anyone tried it? Or Minimalist living.

Is it hard to do when you've got tools for bicycles everywhere? Lots of cycling clothes.

It's something I'd love to try.

Along with everything else, I only own one thing of each. It might sound idiotic, but (aside from very sentimental stuff) if I haven't used something in 6 months. It goes. If I move house, it takes me 1 hatchback journey. Furniture etc, I freecycle then re-freecycle. Books were hard to get rid off. I've cut down to 10 books I'd like to keep till death. My largest possession are my speakers and amp. I came to the conclusion music has too large a bearing on my life, and so I kept them.

I only own one bike, and only the tools that are 100% necessary to fix/modify/maintain it. 2 sets of pedals, one clipped, one strapped. 2 sets of handlebars, one city/work, one long distance. Two sets of chain rings. Speed and pleasure.

It has yet to fail me tbh. I can quite easily live off a 37L Rucksack and be content.
It's an extraordinary weight of your mind and shoulders I can't really explain. It's definitely worth a try.

I've chopped open plenty of coconuts in my time, although never fresh from the tree. The effort is obviously worth it. Amazing fruit. I don't have the chopping knife I used any more, though. It is very hard work if you don't have the right tool.

Effort? 1:00 mark.

I pleases me greatly tht we have similar sized heads...

^It just looks like its lit with two strobes, a stronger key light from the right and an accent light from the left. All the shadows correspond.

Should have gone to Specsavers.
