No rear brake? That'll be handy when you need to stop suddenly then

Whether it's used on the road or a track surely you're still going over the handlebars if you need to stop quickly?

I presume it's a fixed wheel, so shouldn't be too much of an issue.

The whole 'urban bike not intended for use on a public road' - especially when with flat bars it's going to be st on a velodrome, shows it for what it really is - an ornament for putting on the wall of the garage next to the Chiron...

Still waiting for mine , I spent a tenner on various colours. I'm blaming the beer !

My elcheapo multicolour multi mode including epileptic fit inducing mode arrived from gearbest yesterday. They also failed to stick to the back of the TV.

Gently use a lighter on the sticky stuff to (ahem) reactivate it and then stick it on the telly. It's wot I dun and mine is rocking its shizzle and has been for at least a month.

You are lucky they are out of stock now.

The frame I got is this. The A2 size which you will need has perspex not glass in it.

Hey man your art deserves decent frames to protect it!

I've got a shop round the corner that does mine, £40 for the A2 size frame with the mount and that stuff they stick on the back to seal it.

How sturdily are these shipped? That group c print solves a birthday gift dilemma but it needs to survive airfreight

Here's mine, the wall mount is very cool too - has two little 'arms' at the front that rotate through 90 degrees when it takes the weight of the guitar to ensure it can't fall off...

That'd do my head in being mounted upside down (unless you're left handed I suppose).

They come rolled up in a stiff cardboard tube, would be hard to damage.

I was lucky enough to be bought the 917 print and my choice of frame for my birthday, hanging it on the weekend.

I've just got very excited over than Group C print though. Damn you for posting that and damn Guy Allen for making such great art! I really can't justify the cost at the moment, but that is pretty much my childhood right there.

Cool. How is the head stuck on to the body to allow that movement?

Looks like Lego are re-using their Bionicle pieces again.

My Pebble sometimes hazes up a bit, and will be entirely unsupported at the end of 2017 due to the takeover by FitBit, so I've been keeping an eye out.

I've just backed this, as I like the solution of analogue hands over a touchscreen:

this come up on my FB feed on sunday - thought the concept was interesting and seems to work from the video anyway.

lol @ the name - i was thinking more 'ze germans' ala Snatch...

My Pebble decided it was new last night and wiped all of my settings and watchfaces, got bored of it now.
This looks interesting though, addresses a few of the issues/problems i have with the pebble.

As it's an estate with 2 year's main dealer warranty, I think I convinced SWMBO that is was not frivolous in the slightest...

I bought one for a present for someone. Hopefully I'll get to have a little play first.
