Goodbye London!

I am very sad to say i won't be coming back to UK in the near future, and will truly miss all you that i met thru eBay, the forum and rides.



Simon VCL, Moose, Renan aka lpg, Adam polybikeuser, Momentum, Prav, Pete from Devon, Odge/Andy/Ted, Conrad, Justin WhatGoesAroundComesAround, Andrew/Brian (Roberts Cycles), Dale, Matthew, Jos/Keith, Dulwich Paragon, the guys from Evans Cycles for giving me boxes, Tim who sold my first fixed, people from cycle jumbles (Graham, Alan & Terry, Pat & Wally, Hilary, Mike, Mick), Ross from Brixton Cycles who refused to build a radial front wheel, Ian DC, Mario, Al, Paul 50x14... and everyone i forgot to list!



Peace!

Sorry to hear you're off Roberto! Hope you'll be back at some point! Have fun in sunny Brazil. That photo makes me kinda want to go. It's going to be a while before we see weather like that again :(

rob, fuuuuuk cant believe you're off.

i get the sneaking feeling that brazillian ebay is about to get a hell of a shock.

sorry i never made it to one of your races but to be honest hanging around lots of men dressed in lycra touches me in all the wrong places :( thanks for all the beautiful gear + trying to counsel me away from all the crap i thought i needed.

stockwell just wont have the same allure anymore...

incidentally, what are you doing with all your tools:)

Can't say I blame you since south london in cold December isn't the most tempting place, but I'll miss you. We've had a lot of good times and done a bunch of riding since the photo up there ^. Have a wicked time in Brasil and stay in touch!
