Rides and Races - Toronto Fixed

Kaibot what's your weekly mileage like

lately not much, i have been realllllyyyy lazy, like 140... and the hairshirt's coming up really fast.

I am not prepared, but I will manage.

FTG....

The best part of last night was when IGOR (chop shop guy on queen) was checking out Mitch's bike.
It was like a choir boy not being able to run away when the precher was touching his privates.
Mitch's face :o was somewhat distraught as if IGOR was molesting him indirectly through his bike.


FTL...

I'm laughing so hard I need a diaper.

how are the prices at fine line Tattoos

Gah, I didn't believe there were so many hills in Toronto proper; I biked down Warden across Finch and then down Yonge.

She's a track frame alright, the headtube is supersteep and the toe overlap is immense. Nice and light Columbus Neuron tubing.

Campagnolo Record hubs, Ambrosio Mr.Martin rims, Campa Mirage Headset...

Running 49 x 16; nice and quick

Nice, thanks for the info. Beautiful bike, btw.

Hey, do you guys sell a fair amount of bmx stuff at C.S.? I've been sending all my mountain/bmx inquiries your way but I suppose I should see if you actually sell anything.

Keith/Andrew:

Great tips, I'll head out tomorrow morning and pick up my ferry ticket. I think I'm just going to go out and have some fun, nevermind trying to do "well." Maybe I'll see one of the messers who come into Cycle Therapy and just drag my ass behind them for the race. ;)

Was just looking at the bike (steeker flickr) very nice, there was a local shop selling them on ebay not long ago when i was shopping but cavernmech kind of scared me off with the steepness thing .Nice build up looks like it would be fun to ride.

yeah, steep is purty alright, but I'm not convinced a steep track bike would be a daily commuter for me. I've got to o many snakebite flats slamming potholes on my route. Not always an option to dodge 'em when you're sharing the road with tandems and SUV drivers channeling the ghost of Gilles Villeneuve.

Kai, definitely let us know about BMX stock. I need to build up the Raleigh 20 frame I have on my kitchen floor.

Sh*t six weeks to wait for my Tattoo, all I want is a black track bike with Fixed Gear underneath it in Gothic Bold...... P.S. I could not find her web site?

Okay you monkeys. We have two of our own, eyefloater and somnabulent doing the Friends for Life ride. I just took a spin through both the pledge pages and I've yet to see much evidence of any support from folks here.

I know not everyone is flush but every little bit helps. I dropped $100 bones each, mostly cause eyefloater promised to clean my Ciocc with a toothbrush for a month, but I challenge everyone here to drop $20 or more on these guys. Split it between them or just empty your pockets and give what you can. Even the price of a beer will help, like you really need it you chubby walrus. Apart from being able to hold it over their heads for the rest of their lives, you're supporting a good cause. Chances are someone you know or you yourself may be influenced by the effects of this deadly disease.

So pony up, buttercup. For the half the price of a new jersey, a couple of beers, or a massage (sans happy ending) from operator, you can make a difference, feel good about yourself, and know these boys are going to earn every red cent as they gftg.

Do it. You know you want to...

*stands there awkwardly*

Err ... thanks Cam. :) I'm not one for the hard sell (donations would be appreciated though).

I'm not above doing stupid **** for money, so keep that in mind.

I'll dropsome coin but not over the internet stuff just tell me a place or I'll drop it at cycletherapy K

Yea we have a good selection, we dont stock tons of bmx wheelsets 'cause the demand isn't to high.

Anything you want we can order fo sho. Got lots of sweet pegs, cranksets, brakes, bmx cables etc..

MTB stock is through the roof, we gots everythang.

The steepness of the head tube makes the ride really responsive, which I am used to from riding my road bike.

It also make the bike feel realy stable and keeps the front wheel straight.

When I'm riding with no hands and try weaving the bike back and forth sharply the wheel returns to the center very quickly like it's magnetized.

So much funnnnnn.


Don't call me Kai please lol, used to know a guy named Kai...

Kaibot, Kaiser, Kaiserbot or Chris please

Hello,

today, Saturday June 17th, there are a bunch of street sales in my neighborhood.

I live in the upper beaches area at 33 Swanwick Ave., which is just off Main St. one street south of Gerard.

I am selling tons of stuff, nothing bike related but I'm sure other people will be.

The sale officially starts at 9 a.m., but will run till the late afternoon I'm sure.

Come take a look at the **** people are selling if you have nothing better to do, and bring me a cold beverage.

We pretty much emptied out our basement, which was full of 20+ years of treasures.

I hope we can sell most of it.

Alright, time to go bust out a quick 100k before breakfast.















... hahaha, *goes back to bed*

holy crap eyefloater... 5:30am. how do you even wake up at that time!?

What the hell. Get those groupies out of the way! I want to see the bikes.

So where exactly does this alleykat race start and when?

For real? What a bummer, I liked that guy, how did he die? I think he had some substance abuse in his past, I hope he didn't go out like that.


Hell no, if this is the same Rick I know (black guy?) I saw him last year at Igors.

Alright, as I sit here psyching myself up for this I realize that I'm probably the only one from our little group heading out to this race. Am I going to have a racing partner out there or are you all going to leave me hanging?

PS. Being there to take snapshots does not ****ing count.

"Get ready to PUSH IT DUDE!" That's what I'll be yelling from the sidelines. :D

Just don't unclip again. ;)

It is currently 31 degrees, of the 35 degree high !

I may come out but I'm really hot asnd tired because they started doing renovation next door at [b]7AM[b] this morning! and someone had stupidly turned the furnace on full so all our rads were just pumping out heat into the heat until I noticed they were running and turned off the tstat... I'll tell you for sure in an hour I guess as I haven't really eaten yet either...

I want to see pictures of eyefloaters cras er racing.

So I ended up drinking 5 beers instead... Looks like you're going to have to do this one solo for the team Mike. Good luck and don't take too many chances!

Lol
