London Fixed-gear and Single-speed SJS Cycles

Sorry, I forgot to reply. I'm not normally rude.

You're definitely welcome though. Hope you sourced the cranks that you wanted.

helps !

can we have a list of bike forums? With marks out of ten for list friendlyness?

almost forgot, thanks for the list of lists, it's really helped.

There is only ONE bike forum that I ever look at, and its this one.

I cannot make a list of one, no matter how I massage the numbers.

The lists here are a resource. or entertainment. I'm glad some of it helped you.

Here's another one for you, Granville.

*Pukes on cock*

i found this small list on another forum.. it list the weights of the most common steel frame's (vintage)

+ Silly Light - 0.7/0.4/0.7 or thinner - Ishawata 015, Ishawata 017, some versions of Columbus SL, Reynolds 753T
+ Light - 0.8/0.5/0.8 - Ishawata 019, Reynolds 531, Super Vitus 980, Tange Champion #1
+ Moderate - 0.9/0.6/0.9 - Ishawata 022, Columbus SL, Columbus SLX, Reynolds 501, Tange Champion #2
+ Heavy - 1.0/0.7/1.0 - Ishawata Mangy V, Columbus SP, Reynolds 501 All Terrain, Tange Champion #3

^That's not frames, that's tubing.

right.. and frames have tubing...

...and lugs if they're 'vintage', so you have listed tubing, not frames. If you included the weights of different lugs then you may have a case, but you didn't, so you don't.

alright.. you've got point. lets be an happy family :)

Thanks VB for cleaning up the glitchery.

I'm going to be making some changes to the lists.

I'll be grouping together all OTP lists under one heading.

Eventually, I'll try to add frame-makers and frames together. Just a bit of tidying up.

great stuff..

Also, would it please please please be possible to split the shop list into two threads for online / web, and LBSs.

At the moment it is nearly impossible to locate the list of online shops without coming via this page or being lucky. The title should say online web internet shops stores list or something... so it comes up with a thread title search, and also in the similar threads list if someone starts a thread with those keywords.

Just my $0.02.

Peace, P

This really is very excellent....

Praise be.....I was starting to be a bit overwhelmed.

Thanks. Gives me confidence to know what I want, having not known before. (I'm new here)

Normally, I take any compliments about these list thingies, with sincere gratitude.

However MrBig-G, we have a problem. You see, my forum name has 2 G's....and so does yours.

I was here first, so I will have to kill you. Sorry.

Oh yeah; welcome.


:) :) :)

Time for a list of Big Gs?

Seems to be the best way of promoting harmony between you two ... so that you NEED each other. ;)

GinaG

Clearly the writing is on the wall. I am doomed.

You clearly win....

you have Two Big G's.....I only have one....

makes a mockery of my name really...

Should Barry and Robin Gibb turn up on this forum, we're going to have to retire.

In fact, if that happens, maybe we should change past-times.

The writing is on the (toilet) walls.

Ha....Fair point.....the Brothers Gibb would render us impotent

mind you, the E section of the members list would have to watch their backs.....

Robin Gibb is too busy nobbing his cleaner.

Wot, still no list?

1. GA2G
2. MrBig-G
3. GinaG

This forum does have its funny moments.

;)

Perhaps somebody will list them.

You don't deserve Royce hubs.

Wot? No list for brakes? Because they are uncool or something?
Shame because I've learned tons from the lists so far, would like to learn a bit more about brakes now. The forum discussions always helps loads.

this is the best thing ever

tangentially relevant to this thread (ie, not).... list of bike manufacturers, might be of use to some of you nerdy bike boffins

Is it heresy to point someone to another forum? try - http://www.londonfgss.com/

For all your hub and rim needs. GA2G keeps posting lists of stuff. There is even a sticky listing all the lists....

Not sure if they are that fascinated by weight - strength and longevity are more of an issue.

GA2G you are famous sir

I'd think the TimeTriallingForum wouldn't even have known about this site. Still, a few time-triallists cycle fixed gear, so maybe its one of those that is Pink Elephant. Anyway, the lists are for everybody, so its nice that they're being shared around.

Is there a list for flat pedals and toeclips? I've been meaning to buy new pedals and I know MKS Sylvan are popular but what are other good choices?

GA2 - Why don't we create a list of tools?

Whys that P-M, do you want your name up in lights? ;-)

Can I have a list of threaded headsets please GA2G? :)

Top man

.

Thanx 4 this indispensable guide. Its Makin my life easier.

is there a clothing list?

These lists are a fantastic resource, cheers for the effort you've put in!

how about a list for bike repair stands? my mind is melting trying to decide on one and the SEARCH feature isn't helping :(

This list is gold for anybody new to the scene, thanks for the list!

i was thinking.. we could put up a list of shoes + pedals?

Pedals here
http://www.londonfgss.com/thread9986.html

Shoes?

Oh keeper of lists, any thoughts on shoes? I know this might be dangerous territory but hopefully the following might be a good template

(I only have experience of Specialized MTB Taho with SPD and I have definitely had enough of them. Have tried on a couple of different of SIDIs worn by other forum chaps and they are pretty appetising - at the moment still trying to work out what to do but hopefully the following can help me and others)

Finally, SJS appear to sell Shimano shoes exclusively but not the one I know so no links to them.

Perhaps:

Cycling shoes that you can walk in (MTB/Trainer type shoes)

*Shoe - Specialized MTB Taho - £55
Pros - good entry level show - trainer like, good velcro fasten over laces - used with SPD pedals
Cons - heavier than a trainer - and way too ugly - very heavy if you get them wet (so waterproof them)
Evans link

*Shoe - Side Dominator 5 - c.£135
[Pros - replaceable parts, lightweight and v.comfortable]
Cons -
Wiggle link

*Shoe - DNB R1 - £47
[some discussion here
Pros - cheap!
Cons - wiggle own brand?]
Wiggle link

*etc.
(lfgss poll link) which shows a preference for SIDI with SPDs

Cycling shoes (that you really shouldn't walk in)

Er...

arvy, its a good idea, but at present I'm responsible for a trillion lists already, and updating each individual one takes a minimum of several hours, to a maximum of several days.

PM Smallfurry and get his input. I helped him out with the MTB frames and MTB OTPs lists, so he probably won't mind giving you a hand getting a Shoes List going. You will need to keep updating it though; but if its just the one list, it won't be hard.

Cool,
although my own lists are seriously out of date at the mo.

You'll never be able to cover them all but a list comprising the main ones, and those that people on here use, would be good. Some shoes are amazing for the money (DNB for example), yet some seem wildly over priced.

My 2p.

Northwave shoes are fantastic for chunky footed lumps like me. I bought the Aerator road shoes recently, and they've honestly improved my cycling pleasure.

Half price here (45, 46):

I also have these for commuting. They're leather so wear in nice, and you can walk in them despite being both road (three hole) and MTB cleat compatible.

Some 65% off here:
http://www.jejamescycles.co.uk/lake-...s-id36789.html

I also have a back-up pair from Lidl but they are shite.

GA2G/Smallflurry - on the shoes list..
Thanks I'll see if I can get together 5 or 10 shoes to be considered in the list of lists.

If anyone has any reviews that they want to send me, please do; I'll compile...
