Spotted at a Hallowe'en party in a quote members' bar unquote in Brixton last week:
One ever-smoking, purportedly photographing, skinny dude in a cap. A Billa, I do believe.
Small world.

I should've introduced him to Dr James Ward at the Bec hillclimb. He built himself a fixed gear machine after I beat him a couple of times. He asked if I could look after it for a few minutes after the Catford event. I went to do the proverbial pick-up test, and nearly launched it into the air like a helium-filled balloon. I'd guess it was sub 12lb :O

hi brendan, we met that day also, chatting with your good self and the lady with the bianchi (?).
spotted a load of dudes on nice red bikes this morning, mostly heading along old street from old street roundabout or around smithsfield. a chap on a nice old red bob jackson, wearing a brown wind breaker and a bum-bag. also saw a nice dark grey pearson along rivington street.

Spotted - DB this morning about 07:45 round by Sussex Gardens, heading Lancaster Gate direction (i.e. going other way). (Silvery/Blue frame with risers and wearing a cycling cap). Didn't even notice me - left me looking really sad when I shouted his name :o(

Of course, it's also possible that it wasn't Dale...
