the chap at the end is obviously a jedi cyclist. 'this is not the cycle race you are looking for'.

halfway there.

Got this lad a few weeks ago. Needs a bunch of work but was extremely cheap and cool. Schauff Prestige 97.

 

[magicbastarder]

i'm terrified to ask how much you paid for it. probably a small fraction of what i paid for mine, and five times the quality.

that looks like it could be a dura ace rear derailleur?

Yeah Dura Ace/600 groupset. One rim is fucked and all cables, chain and cassette need replacing. 50 quid.

how did you come across it?

the one i got is a single speed - bought it in the rediscovery centre in ballymun. nowt fancy. just needed something i don't have to worry about, or change my shoes to cycle.

First cycle in well over a month to the new job. Not as difficult as feared but getting skinny road bike envy looking at @moose 's new/old wheels.

Way home is going to be a bollocks. Over broombridge and then up the old finglas road. Shit it.

A guy had it in his shed and was doing a clear out and gave it to my mate who he works with. I got it off my mate. Fifty bucks was more a token of good will and return on lifts I've got.

What single speed did you get? Been contemplating switching my track frame for a single speed of some sort. Unfortunately the track has no mounts for brakes and my back wheel also has no breaking surface so might just stick with it and use this new lad instead/mic it up.

i just got one which was built from an old resprayed frame, no obvious branding. a couple of hours after i got it, someone posted this on boards, and i'd have given this one serious thought; looks like it'd have been the right size for me:

worth a watch if you're interested in the 'mandatory cycle helmet' debate - a short film on the experience in australia; worth mentioning that it has quite obviously decided which side of the debate it sits on.

Motorist would not have landed cyclist's 'wanton and furious driving' charge

This is not weather to be leaving your house keys in the office when you are living 18km into the absolute sticks

gave me a bit of a chuckle:

Perspective | Terrorists don’t scare city cyclists. We already have to deal with cars.

I cycled around loads of Andalusia last year and learned some things. A lot of the planning was robbed from nerdy cycling blogs, so here's some info If you are considering a trip in that region.
