Rides and Races - Toronto Fixed

dude.. the brown is awesome! I mean, without seeing the condition up close of course. Not so big on gold anything, personally, so I'm a little biased. :)

I'm almost definately gold leafing the drop outs, I think it'll look amazing with the brown. The rest is more up in the air I've been playing with photoshop alot trying to figure out what would look best but that will likely have to wait until the end of the season when I can take the bike apart again. Too busy riding it right now.

yes, back to bikes, let's stay on track. i have a bike related question: anyone know where i can pick up a pair of riser bars that have a fair amount of sweep to them? not quite as much as your typical english three speed bars but close. like on one "marys" if you get my drift...

Call Cavern bike shop / and the bike joint

Temple of doooooooooooom.

Come on, i lobbed that one up for you, a home run pitch!

Yeah, definitely would need some trimming, especially now that I'm used to road bars and the ability to squeeze through small spaces in traffic. hehehe.

****ing lies.

Weather this weekend not looking so hot.

Won't you be trimming off the grip?
The bar totally won't have the same characteristics will it?

I'll trim straight bars to shoulder width or even hip width to give me a natural reference point.

yeah, it may be a weekend for maintainance and lounging. i may go out sunday if i'm recovered from my bro's wedding the night before.

according the specs from on one, the grip section is made extra long for adjustability, trimming or what have you.

didn't see that part
I looked at the picture of the bars mounted .... they didn't look like they would sweep that far forward.

So who's buying a UTW bag? I should've gotten the messential over the flyaway. :/

So who's buying a UTW bag? I should've gotten the messential over the flyaway. :/

do you find it to small?

I've got a Messential. It's a bit big when empty, especially since I'm such a teeny person, but in the short time I've had it I've definitely been able to use all that room on several occasions.

messential.... what a great name.

That's exactly how I feel about my Large TB2. Although it also fits like ass no matter how much is in it, and I think that's affecting my judgement on figuring how what size bag to order when I get around to buying something new.

I got to figure out what brand of climbing bag I was given, I brought home 10kg of kitty litter, dog food, and some other stuff today. It was heavy, but I still had tons of room. The TB2, is that the big vertical roll over one?

I ran into an aquintance on a group MTB ride yesterday who thought I was Jeremy Whitehorn (I share the same first name). It was kind of surreal for me to think yeah, I know that guy....well not really.

TB2 = Timbuk2

I'm considering buying one of the Chrome waterproof backpacks next though, which is more of that style. http://www.chromebags.com/waterproofpacks.html

Well yesterday I had a carton of Yogurt, 2 boxes of granola bars and 4 boxes of glosettes, got kind of full. And messential is pr0 :D Well the strap and the buckel is more pr0.

We should post pictures of ourselves to clear up the confusion. did he think you were me or did he think that jeremywhitehorn was your internet name?

My wife got my daughter a little messer -style bag. It just fits her lunch and a little bit more. It's soo cute!!!!!

that's a lot of boxes, i would think all that angular cargo would make any bag uncomfortable. what's the capacity on those? i'm wondering how it compares to my PAC bag, it's the smallest one they make but it is about 30L. from what i gather the UTW are longer and thinner than the PACs which are about as deep as they are wide (more of a square shape).

inspiration relating to our sprint talk recently:

possibly old news, but I rarely venture outside of this thread anymore. :)

The flyaway is 20L the messential is 30L. Conicidentally or not, the messential is 50% more than the flyaway.

The UTW bags come in cordura (shiznazs) or ballistic nylon (mine).

Same ......
I will go see someone about shoes this week-end, maybe. lol
I do not however have a fg/ss sprinter, but I'm down for whatever I can help with.
Gokiburi brought that link which proved to be gold baby GOLD for the flyer.

hm, i guess the 20L bag could get full fast. i guess the price increase is due to the extra-tough contruction and straps, etc. one of the things i like about my little UTW bag is it's simplicity: one strap, no zippers a couple of pockets. just simple for quick errands. maybe the larger bags have more bells and whistles, who knows...

isn't there some rule of thumb about packs that no matter what size pack you have you'll fill it?

I love the size of my flyaway. Its the perfect size to fit everything I need for the day, or even for overnight. That being said, its is on the small side, and I have a gigantic UTW heavy gear bag to cart around all the big stuff and get groceries. There is no one bag that can do it all for all situations, so thats why I have 2. I think I actually prefer the strap and buckle on the flyaway to theire more 'pro' bags, as the one on my heavy gear can really chafe the hell out of my neck if I'm not careful, and the metal buckle and loop can be unwieldy or even impossible to use if the bag is over or understuffed.


LOL! Gold Jerry, GOLD!

edit: ps. so what's the deal? You haven't been around as much lately, or so it seems. Are you all done school now? Job hunting? Out enjoying the weather instead of sitting inside on bikeforums? :)

Bikeforums has not been resolving well at all on my computer and I've only really been able to use it on and off for the past few days. That and I'm avoiding you.

Not sure if he knows you through this site or somewhere else online. He told me he had picked up Curt Harnett's track bike from the early 80's-a Gardin IIRC. I think he just assumed I was you, because he knows my name is Jeremy and I ride a fixie.

I'm almost certain I have made the same mistake before.

UTW bag eeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwww

hahaha.. awesome, there's an electro pool party happening tomorrow night at the Trinity-Bellwoods community centre:

http://stillepost.ca/boards/index.php?topic=45237.0

What a wonderful idea. I can picture people doing the robot in the pool already. :D I'm tempted to go just to watch the hilarity of people swimming at a concert.

that's Kensington market,, did martino take that picture?
