I don’t know why people are voting for London so much, I love this place. Never boring.

My vote would have to go to Blackpool.

Thanks for that Brakes, I was getting worried after bringing my bike to London from the north, but it seems like there are some mountains and dirt in reaching distance

The first time when I visited London I really liked the look of “fixies”, but after moving here and living for past 7 months I now know what kind of people ride them…

What I really hate about switching to Orange is that Visual Voicemail (which I loved on o2 / iphone 3gs) is not available on iPhone4! What rubbish….

Here are a few of my faves when you get back home 😉

Thanks for the helpful advice, as some have already mentioned, I have contacted environmental services before (two months ago, when the cooker SAFETY light exploded with a flash, just missing my face), the guy came in but he wasn’t very helpful, but he did write a letter to them and sent me a copy detailing the issues and asking them to sort it out – to which now still not sorted.

I will take your advice, contact a solicitor or citizens advice bureau on monday and tell the estate agents where I stand. I have never missed a payment or was ever late. Honestly I was being too soft on them (but I have emailed, sent letters and called dozens of times), mainly due to having other problems with finding jobs and settling in a new place.

Thanks!

quite funny, but the lack of skill (and amount of riders RUNNING DOWN the drop) is shocking!

EDIT: BIG lol at the half naked guy with lycra shorts @ 3:04

damn you guys, why on earth did I open this thread!!! After going through 15 pages I am now planning a trip myself :-s

Im running ZTR Olympic rims with nobby nic / racing ralph, with stans sealant. no problems so far!

does it have to be live? watch on torrent day after for free..

impressive cinematography! good find

… Because its my first custom bike build, its light and amazing to ride 🙂

**** i overslept :-/ girlfriend texted me at 9.30am and i was fast asleep! Still went for a blast afterwards, good weather indeed 🙂

i (hope) to join you guys next time

jxl does your frame have track ends too..? are you running with only skewer and no problems..?

Oh that was an old picture while i was building it, it has vertical dropouts now with same QR skewers and a chain tug, works wonderfully 🙂

Right so 9.30 at Bottany Bay then? Weather is looking good!

Haven't ridden since september 2009, gonna be tough 🙂

P.S John is your phone working?? 🙂

I have an XTR hub on ZTR Olympic rims, Racing Ralph with stans tubeless milk. converted the hub using Velosolo spacers and a wide/thick rear cog (sorry the name escapes me), no slipping/problems so far!

neil is this gonna be your first rivi ride? i remember last year you said you might come down 🙂 might see you on sunday though il be behind all of you on singlespeed

im tempted, would i keep up on singlespeed? lowey is John coming?

I'm using Orange 8mb broadband, works out about £5 per month (if you have orange contract phone). Would say its very reliable, only had several problems in past 2 years.

posh

Is it a brand new tyre? I had a lot of trouble installing a tubeless kit (olympic rims and racing ralph/nobby nic), it kept letting air out of sides and not inflating.

what I did was install an inner tube, blow up the tyres full and leave overnight to "bed in" the tyre. next day removed the inner tube and followed the normal procedure (soapy water around edges), worked flawlessly.

hope this helps

can anybody post some pics? bike is eagerly waiting to start the season 🙂 not been to quarry since the last brownbacks race…

Needless to say, can't wait til its over!

Another vote for the P7!

I have some RS Reba Team 100mm, love them to bits! everybody that had a ride were quite impressed too, maybe you can find some 09 versions around?

I'm glad others found it dull as well, wondered why I kept dozing off… That explains it.

I had a geared hardtail, but once built up the singlespeed I have to admit the geared bike had very little to no use at all!

SS all the way.

absolutely useless in mud though, may not be a good choice for a winter tyre.

OSMaps and motionx for me!

yup, complete fail ^^ So far foxychick and stratobiker are winning it for me 😛

Personally I would never buy a superzoom as 18-200mm, also its only for 1.6x sensors? If you have any plans in the future to upgrade to full frame, would stick to EF lenses.

If you want sharpness, stick to prime lenses, maybe L range if you get a full frame body and a lot of spare cash 🙂

recovering from a 16 hour photoshoot, drinking a cold beer.

Depends what student you are, its more for university (i thought around 13%) and less for college.

I find its hard to get motivated to actually get out of the house, but never a problem riding on my own in terms of getting bored/etc.

The Wire is my favourite TV show of all time.

Also bought similar baggage scales from ebay some time ago, but really do not trust them. My 100mm hardtail, now with Reba Team's on, weighs more (32lbs) than the bike should have weighed when bought new with heavy Suntour Raidon forks (30lbs). Similarly singlespeed is apparently 21lbs when it should be less considering wheels are 1300g for both (minus tyres) and lots of carbon bits (but it does have a steel frame).

..as well as older Mac's too.

I process 100% of my RAW files on Photoshop CS4 along with Bridge. Did use Lightroom before, but only for quick JPEG touch ups.

Yes the ebay link seems to be too cheap for decent quality pocket springs, don't you think?

There is also another 650 spring (twin layer) for £350

There is too much choice on that website though, and not enough specs.
