Who's feeling it? I started commuting by bike about 3 months ago and I'm loving it - free, green, wicked exercise, quicker than a bus and good fun too. Totally converted. I want to get a new bike at some point, anyone get any tips? Any fans of single-speeds? |

it's more important to get people out riding bikes they enjoy than rinsing strangers for big profits Says the guy who just bought a 'job lot' of stolen bikes. qft
i didnt ask where he got them, i think we all know that. are you going to mention to your 'mates and family members' that the bikes are stolen when you flog them to them? Or are they also pikey scum who won't care either way? please refrain from calling my family pikey scum you impertinent cum sponge, no need for that. nice jesus |

a new chain like a kmc 710 or something strong if you're staying ss is that the best one for around that price? reading online some places say that's only for bmx's? this is pretty much the bike that i have. |

Cheers mrw, I've read about the "soft keys" jamming in the locks of kryptonites, so it's making me a little wary. Handled the evolution 4 and new York today, new York weighs a tonne!! Abus graphit 54 plus looks good and has the maximum security rating of 15.... So might jump for that Another quickie, which is more 'exclusive and rare', the bianchi pista steel 2012 in White or Chrome? |
