Felt trump Specialised in the ugly tri bike stakes...

So ugly it may come full circle. Also the next Transformers line.

Hmm...I'd fancy a trolly bike (though the way they steer may be risky) would just put it on a crappy 80s MTB frame myself.

Supposedly Acetone doesn't remove glue. Nitromor does.

So it may be safe, but vinegar or any other old household degreaser with NO SOAP in it may work too.

Back on the road for me. I missed my Ciocc. Worth the hassle of gluing for me.

Well...at least the rims are hi-vis...

^ Loved Holy Motors, but it's a bit hate/love I'd imagine.

Saw Susperia with live soundtrack (Belfast film festival, which rocks BTW they always have great events on, showing A Space Odessey in titanic drydock etc.)

Berbian Soundstudio is well worth the watch if you like Giallo/general weird movies (if not already mentioned somewhere in thread)

Last cinema movie I saw was Mama which was pretty good I thought. Started Rust and Bone.

Dead Ringers is old and awesome, Bullhead is very good, recommend Poetry, Enter the Void, Possession, A snake of June and good old Tetsuo Iron Man if you are looking for a brilliant "WTF did I just watch" experience.

^^ Ah bad luck dammit :( I read you can replace an inner tube if needed on sowed tubs if you feel up to the challenge...

Mine's back on the road after some sowing/gluing. There's something Freudian about poking around in 2 inch wide gaps with your fingers trying to get a tire boot in a very narrow space...

...well...

If I were tigerprint bike owner I'd make it extra anti with gold coloured anodised parts and a purple saddle/tape. I'd then cycle it wearing a white suit while blasting rap from a bike radio. No half measures.

Can only comment on Gatorskin Tubulars which resisted the Glassbin errr...Road bravely for 2 weeks and then I got a tiny p_n_ctr

I'm not one for mad cornering though I've had no issues so far. For Tubs brigade these seem to be one of the most resistant options. Very few things stop wet glass however...

Got some GP4000S which I am going to try once I have my clincher wheels built. Yay.

There's this big long dual carriage-way in Plymouth with a cycle path and loads of left hand turns into roads/garages. Today I was on said cycle path and a car pulls left into said garage. I was 10 meters behind him when I saw him indicate. Couple of seconds later I was on the floor with 5 people stood around me. Luckily I glanced off and went a tumbling. We both agreed it was mutual accident - turns out he was a cop off duty. Superficial grazing, sprained wrist, one finger now larger than others, minor damage to bike. In a weird way I feel kind of happy I've had a crash and that it wasn't a lorry.

I'm a bit confused: Did he not check his mirrors before turning?
Or were you accidentally moving from behind him to the inside of him?

So far all the near left-turns I've seen on my Manfriend were not his fault at all. Either way good you are OK!

Neighbor of a colleague of mine got crushed under lorry for 6 hours, not clear yet who was at fault but looking to end up with stoma etc. Bit pissed off over it due to all the bad driving I see every day...police is involved.

Well now that's cleared up I'm sure the friend requests will be flying in.

...and anyway, worked nights for 3 years, wasn't much else to do after they blocked iPlayer so spent alot of time in here looking at ugly bikes.

Looked at so many that I ended up liking them, and the HHSB thread was born.

Expecting one from you any time, you're welcome.

Does blocking iPlayer with a consequence of ugly bike exposure not count towards cruel and unusual punishment?

May be FAIL rather than anti. Either way, waste of a good frame/crankset.

Well you sure showed him. How can you know anything about bikes if you dont even have any internet freinds? what a div!

Second time I am confused for a him on LFGSS. Mildly amused :)

^ I quite like that Corima.

I nearly bought one of these old NOS...but alas...not enough clearance to be my "shit snow cycle lane not gritted bike" so the Thorn XTC stayed

^

I'd love to see the day everybody on the internet would know what they're talking about.

Or come across less cuntish when correcting people

:)

I am, naturally, meant to be getting rid of larger items rather than accumulating them, but I'll worry about that when I move. The chap may just have to get used to tripping over bikes on the stairs, or sharing a bed with one when we run out of space.

^ That's the spirit :)

Thanks RE Ciocc, got it from forum indeed. Need to built him/her/it some clincher rims for bad weather, glassbin Belfast + rain == flat...

No experience with Boardman alas. But they often get favorable reviews. Ribble and Dolan are other "non fancy" brands that do you a good value for money.

^^ Hah Charlotte83 grin at undercarriage :)

Men saddles like Specialized Avatar can be very t-shaped and that one goes up to 150.

I have lectured the guys at work that woman also have bits that can get nipped on deep potholes (we have cyclists here) not just men. A case of TMI no doubt but they're asking for it with some of their jokes!

Please read the thread, there is plenty of competition far worse than that.

Well maybe not everybody has
A read all the 610 pages
B know them by heart

I'm going to have to compliment you on your memory ;)

That rear wheel is awfully reminiscent of a painted horse/cart wheel. Impressive.

^ Oh lovely Colnago :)

Ciocc finally got finished some weeks ago

^ Yes

Darn, no invite to talk about my bicycles then.
#Foreveralone

:)

Tell me more about this "the bicycle"

Eh, whose "the bicycle"?

^ Lucky you, if white van man had got you it would have been a rowdy funeral.

I didn't readjust the front cantilever on my touring bike on purpose. Too many shared paths where people do-not-hear bicycle bells.

Then I get called a psycho for going "jesus" when I have to get the anchor out because somebody doesn't put her dog of the me can't think I haz the stupidz running without looking type on leash.

Even though there's enough signs saying "Share path. Don't be a cunt. Looking at you there roadie cyclist. You, with the dog, put it on a leash or prepare to get a new one".

Actually the signs don't say anything like that. Not that it matters are people don't read the nice version either ;)
