EDIT:

BLAST! Damn you Greg!

I rock.

I've scalped you all in the big push for the 6,000th reply.

I have flicked cyber spray in your faces due to my absence of sentiment mudguards.

DDD,

after reading your last post can I just confirm that it was YOU suggesting SOMEONE ELSE needed to get laid?

I live with my girlfriend.

I'm sorry to have to chip in on this......
There are plenty of married men who live with their wives
I suppose the keyword there was girlfriend, which reminds me of this joke:

A father and his son go into the grocery store when they happen upon the
condom aisle. The son asks his father why there are so many different
boxes of condoms. The father replies...well, you see that 3 pack?
That's
for when you're in high school. You have 2 for Friday night and 1 for
Saturday night. The son then asks his father, well what's the 6 pack for?

The father replies, well that's for when you're in college. You have 2
for Friday night, 2 for Saturday night, and 2 for Sunday morning. Then
the son asks his father what the 12 pack is for. The father replies,
well
that's for when you're married. You have one for January, one for
February, one for March......

Some people have far, far too much time on their hands...

:P

On the plus side, just had a call from Holdsworths, it looks like my SS will be ready at the weekend. Next week will be a world of aching legs and posts about how I got my arse whipped to butter on the ride home. Still, MTFU and all that

Excellent! What did you get?

I think you've explained why you are capable of riding your bike so damn fast....

At least you've won a race on the thread, even if this beyond you where it counts: on the road. :twisted:

I was thinking about RP on a SS at the weekend, and decided that it would be hard work. And that was on the first, gentle hill

This would, of course, mean that GregT is the big gay all red-wearing kit wearer.

Yeah, I'll go with that.

Ooooh yes, I'd forgotten! New pics please...

I've been round it a couple of times on my FG now, the easy way not the hard way, and it's not too bad. However, the last hill up to Richmond Gate did nearly kill me the first time I tried it!

Wannabe messenger (God knows why?) Clean steel fixie, rapha cap and assorted rapha gear or clothes to that effect with messenger bag, but actually commuting to office of tyre company in slough. Functional fixies are COMPLETELY different.

My arse they are! Fixie rider = fakenger, the two terms are interchangeable (unless you actually are a messenger)

My ars* indeed. Take a proverbial slap across the face with a leatherette glove. A fixie is the source, or a very functional piece of kit. I used to get through a chainset every year. Now i just need to replace the chain every now and then. Best of all, it needs absolutely no maintanence, not even chain oil, except the odd lash with a pressure washer.
Call me a fakenger again and I'll pencil you into my rapha training diary for a good thrashing with a brooks leather strap.

Now hang on just a cotton pickin' moment.

Before people in "the city" felt the need to invent messengers, there was a band of hardened grizzled roadies who used fixed as the ideal winter trainer, both for it's MTFU-ness and it's ease of maintenance. That is why I ride with just the one gear, not to pretend to look like some bloomin' nancy jumped up paperboy at the end of his career path.

In days of yore everyone rode fixed

I ride fixed as I saw all the other kids doing it and wondered if there was anything in it.....

There must be as since I bought my Paddy Wagon I've not touched my road bike, not even put the pedals I bought for it on it.....

Oh you're in trouble now....last time I left my bike for a younger model she wasn't happy, gave me two p*nctures in different places on the same wheel, two sodding hours it too to get back....look after your rides...they know when you've been unfaithful

Amen brother, I'm a roadie who uses a fixed as a winter hack

Ah blondie, you do know how to get all us single speeders all riled up. I bet he's sitting at his PC giggling at us all...

So, in order to prolong the fun, OI! How very dare you?! I ride a FG for fitness and ease of maintenance, not because I want to look cool!

I don't look cool anyway, no matter how I try. The panniers ruin that.
