I recognise Nasty's bikes when I see it.

That's Nick's old virus wheel that he spent hours stickering up!

today we went to Harry Halls bike shop to see a friend who works there. I didn't know that he'd given the shop to his son who'd decided he'd no interest in building frames so my hopes of a shiney shiney new HH were dashed - however I have to say there's a cute little track corner in the shop with a SUPER cool set of white cranks - SO VERY SLAVE, but so cute. *they were on display - owned by our friend.

finish was a very intricate weird bend, going over a roundabout, with temporary ashphelt over plastic as ramps, then lots of barriers. safety first. would've been very very messy.
