thanks again!

Glad I checked the thread before I jumped in. Also I cant find this magical lock nut thing at the lever end, just a plastic cover on the hose butting up to the lever, which doesn’tseem to want to move. There is a nut at the caliper end which looks like if I undid it I could remove the hose, is that what you mean’t or have I missed something?

cool cheers z1ppy, hopefully all goes to plan after lunch!

Half a day, qualified joiner £70 – £80. Bit of an arse to just hang one door so half a day is fair, if it was a mate I’d do it for £30.

First time I tried my fixie my legs felt VERY strange after I got off. Like nailing it on a treadmill then trying to walk. Weird

As I walked throught town today there was a greatly increased quotient of goaties and tight jeans. Plus attractive people. Must be the Italiens.

True, but what I meant was that he doesn’t put his name to anything that isn’t quality

Well, it made me think of porn. Maybe that tells you more about me than the seller..

Get the people whose post it is to collect it, rather thanyou doing the donkey work

Agreed. Anything with Attenborough is worth a watch

If it is for commuting why not put those 700c wheels on a road frame. Might make more sense if it is just for tarmac?

Past history of nipple piecings, max powerish car mods, and a porn doovd (I think), this bike surely has provernance

My mum had it last year, get to the docs quick if you haven’t gone already as apparently the treatment is a lot more effective in the early stages.

Literally just added the final touches to my first fixie:

We had a discussion about this over dinner. Conclusion was its all relative. If your just 17 and your girlfriend is nearly 16, that’s very different to you being 47 and the girl 16. Although thelaw might take the opposite view to common sense.

It’s health and safety gone mad I tell thee

Little sister is now refusing to go to school tomorrow because ‘they’ll all be laughing at me. DRAMA.

Oh, busted for being daft and pulling your little sister’s mate.

As a defence against what exactly?

Err..no. In a club so all girls in there should by law be over 18. As it happens she was 16, although he didn’t know it at the time. Thanks for the input though. Now go ave another beer darling.

Before the spoon I used some low rent GT saddle which was a lot more padded and a bit wider

I thought the same – arse was in tatters after first few rides, now its perfect though.

Steak in peppercorn sauce, homemade chips, fat ass mushrooms, salad
drinking tea
listening to a bit of silence for a change.

Probably something specific out there, but what about the stuff they put on shed roofs? Grippy – check. Waterproof – check. Cheap – check. Use flathead galvanised nails to secure it to the steps as you would a shed roof – jobs a goodun

Now THAT is ingenuity!

Might look a bit naff? Try it, if it works and doesn’t look too rubish happy days. If not rip ’em up and move on

MENTAL!

Hairychested – your pictures verge from the sublime to the ridiculous.

Keep ’em coming!!

After I’d posted I knew someone would spot the bars! Not in the finished position yet, also the very keen eye will spot I had not put on the last bit of the headset!

Bit of a dilemna about the tape as I like the shiny bars, do I keep em naked, or half tape them? Plus do I use brown tape or Bianchi green/blue colour?

Clear, concise, and to the point.

not me but interested to find out

It’s all clever camera trickery, I can assure you it isn’t that shiny, or even that clean, in real life!

Half and half – can be a bit too rich with just wine I think.

Teetosugars that is far too lazy an option! Thanks for the offer though! That link got me salivating…mmmm…curry…

Cheers xherbivorex, just wanted to check it wasn’t all sweaty restaurants before I had a trip up there!

anyone help the culinarily inept?

This is my restoration project at the moment:

Don’t know whether to drop the cash on a respray or not

Ha Ha! D*ckheads!
