London Fixed-gear and Single-speed

i have to WALK into a BOOTH? fuck that. Bad things happen in booths.

Yeth. People buy make-upth and thampoo.

and vatheline. and nappieth. thoundth like a good night to me!

Don't get too excited. They're just cardboard screens moreso than a proper booth.

ma3k - saw you riding on hampstead road going south, 7pm.

'specially Cherie.

young woman goes to the doctors complaining of asthma - the doctor asks her to take her top off, gets out his stethescope and says 'Big breaths' and the girl says 'Yeth, and i'm only thixteen'

what's the difference between a pile of dead babies and a bmw?

i don't have a bmw in my garage.

I saw Joe_b in Leeds a coupla days ago, he was wearing a chrome bag and said "I am a fakenger." nice chap though....

i am a fakenger or you are a fakenger?

It was an admission on his part......he's probably the only person in Leeds who's heard the term though....

ahhh. how sweet. i didn't realise that people in leeds were aware of the newfangled metropolitan lingo.

I'm sure Robert Jackson has..

as he counts his pennies rolling in, yes, mos' def.

I don't know how much input he has into the frame building these days..

he's more machine than man now, twisted and evil..

he's the iron man of new pudsey. i like to think my bob was created in an biblical fashion, he took out a rib and made a bicycle.

Bunch of riders at a house party on Kingsland rd last night, doing trackstands in the hallway. Recognised one of you from polo ages ago but was far too hammered to have a decent conversation so gave up. Anyway, HI!

Red, white blue lo-pro style frame fixed riding east on Oxford St. this morning.

yeah saw a really tall dude riding a ridiculously small lo-pro blue bike top of gloucester place.

today saw (and chatted with johnnywilkinson) on bishopsgate. then at bottom of holloway rd i saw smeeeeeear ride past with his big flaps flapping in the breeze, i was locking my bike up under the bridge off to the side.

good to bump into you db, though it meant i lost the slow 'race' with the blonde on the singlespeed.

hello!
yes i did openly admit to being a fakenger:(
i have seen two or three fixengers in leeds but so far no one riding fixed!
was nice to meet you but was not nice having a two hour arabic lecture.....

Slamm riding down Old Street, pedalling like crazy - guess he was on his polo bike

Then MA3K, velocity boy and the others who were on the long way to Polo ride just off Smithfield

I was on my way to work. Gutted.

I saw about twelve of them riding round richmond park today..

right load of scruffy herberts they were

scruffengers

Iliketowatchenger

yeah, I infiltrated their ranks.

not in a rude way.

I said 'hello' as we passed.

yeah, i saw a bunch of people on the ride today - nice to meet you all, i had a fantastic time :-)

Sorry Stompy, didn't recognise you, you went past in a blur!

And I'm still at work. In an office. On a Sunday

Fuckitty

stompy? in a blur? really?

Might have been the speed that I was going just made him look fast. Or the tears of shame that were stinging my eyes as I rode away from both polo and the Sunday ride...

Probably the second one, to be honest

it's not so bad.
at least you were riding, even if it was to work.

I had to do work stuff this afternoon, so could only do the richmond lap.

to make it worthwhile I went as fast as I could all the way home.

oohh!

your vision's going to be blurry next time I see you.

probably not as blurry as it was at 10am this morning.

spotted : Guy with blue jersey and black track bike going around regents today - thought you might be on this forum (long shot), wanted to say : you're pretty quick!

That's a very good point... would have been nicer to be on it for longer, though :)

you should have left earlier :p
