only costs about the same as a moped right? no petrol, fun to ride, so why not?

You see people riding around on DH bikes, which are obviously awkward and slow on the street. And they all cost a few grand right?

Pajamas, you are a very scary man.

Nikki, for the love of fuck sake stay away from this man when you come to London. Some have said that he is a rapist.

Hello to everyone.
I have been riding my fixed wheel conversion for about 4 months now. I've recently slipped a tri spoke on the front so I can get more hipster points, but until I sell my used celebrity tampon collection on ebay I will have to make do with this frame. Private message me if you're interested.

Scott, I was only joshing as per, no tantrum involved despite the misleading punctuation.

And though I'm certainly not Nikki's age, I'm only old enough to be her father where you come from, with its high incidence of underage parenting. ;D ;D

If it's true the only thing that's been violated in recent memory is a set of table napkins.

I can't believe a nice comment about someone's forehead gets me so much stick. In Charlotte Bronte's time it was very much "foreheads out for the lads", kind of like a pair of bazoomers in Croydon nowadays.

God, this century.

Object · 25th August 2008

Pajamas, with all due respect, how well do you know me?
Surely me mocking you in a public forum is as close to "nice" as I ever get. Nothing is sacred. Ever.

pajamas · 25th August 2008

sorry I'm going to have to start putting winky smileys after all I say.

I didn't think it would ever get to this but..Object.....you are a..... no.. can't... say it..

nikki · 26th August 2008

at this rate i think i'll be staying away from all of you if i ever go there :P just kidding of course. YALL seem very cool.

Archi Pelago · 26th August 2008

Well done! We've got her fooled. Now to really lure her in ;)

You tend to notice the difference over any real distance, or during hard sprints.

Agreed - I've always been under the impression that it's not that difficult riding tapeless bars in their proper setting (i.e. a velodrome) since the majority are indoors and it doesn't tend to rain in there. End of slippery problem. Take them on the street and you're just asking for trouble. Maybe you really, really want to replicate that Keirin look, but how about letting common sense get a look in every once in a while?

Natural Ice is my beer of choice Stateside. Good effort! It's the only one with any decent volume of alcohol in it.

no wayyyyy... it's like piss water. the usa has many many far better beers (doppelbocks and double ipas and more if you're looking for high alcohol content) than natty ice! natty ice is the worst.
