No worries, you must have been pumped with adrenaline from racing! I was just shattered. Re. Rob, yeah loads of people say that and the bloke from Come Dancing! Love the picture of the ramp, I had a look down the one to the right once, it really shit me up. I think it is something like 1 in 3.

Hey Desi, I was in the 3rds race but I didn't see Dogs during the race. I saw his shirt (Can't remember what is was now.) and thought he must be a forum member so I shouted 'Do a skid!' when he'd finished! ;-)

I had gone past before i realised it was you two and looked back, shouting 'hang on a minute' much to the chagrin of the rest of the bus and my confused fella.
On the way back from a stirling day at the Science museum after Air Tattoo disappointment.

it's a very light pale lime green bike somewhere in Soho/Covent Garden, she look like a working messenger (and probably are), so you two have to take it out on each other I'm afraid.

young Vic this morning styling her GT-esque Orrell along Old St. avoiding all the bad stuff that went down today. a minimal 'morning' was all i could muster through my lack of enthusiasm for the day ahead.

No i didnt, but found a much better NJS frame that i have to have : ) kind of changed my mind when the reserve wasn't met at $1700. Plus the frame was lovely, but the parts weren't amazing.

good stuff em. funny that when you a follow a bike like that and watch the price go up you suddenly look down at the numbers again and start to think what else you will get for ya moolah. be interesting to see what you will be styling next.

i am glad i didn't get carried away with it as this morning realised i have just got stung for £180 - for stopping for five mins in a van in Elephant Road. bollox.
