Rides and Races - Toronto Fixed

They DO have a 58cm Fuji Track bike. I'm not sure what year. But it's grey/black. The sticker said $649.99 I'm not sure if that's the price for the whole bike, or just frame and fork, cuz it was just that. Maybe they haven't built it up complete. Man, if it was a 54,53, or 52, I'd snatch it right up.


Sounds like a Pro frame. Was it Alu or steel? That is full retail for the complete, entry level bike. I have 2 Pro framesets left from this season...a much better price than that.

.
but yes it is a museum of cycling lore to marvel at. a while ago he had an original raliegh carlton track bike with 27" sew ups and a fully campy track kit on it. was it for sale? who knows...
Yours for the bargain price of $3999.99. That is if you can actually get him to give you a price on anything.

I don't have curtains, big boy. <wink>
hahhaa

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. There were some road bikes, lower end mountain bikes, a few free ride bikes and a bunch of hybrids. 30% off bikes, 40% off accessories. Not a whole lot in the acc. dept unless you're looking for something really specific. I wouldn't bother, personally. You could probably get as good a deal at the Bike Show.

If you're looking at motorcycles the prices are pretty good! :)

i really want to laugh at that vid, duppy but i have to say that i'm a bit confused. which is why it's funny...

hahaha.. I saw that yesterday. Gold Jerry, gold!

that was plain creepy

track update: I was talking to Mike and he said that starting Oct 9 the Winter schedule will be in effect. That includes track 1 sessions every Saturday morning, except the 4th Saturday of every month (when he holds the Track Combo session). That means that it won't be possible for us all to go and do the combo stuff in the morning and track 1 in the afternoon because the track will already be in use in the morning. In addition to that, the track combo session for October only has 1 open spot at this point.

The only thing he could suggest is that we all play hookey on a Friday sometime, and as long as we can get at least 4 people for the combo and 4 for track 1 then we could have the place to ourselves for the day. I don't know how likely that is though with everyone's schedules. HOWEVER, I imagine if we could do that we could actually do Track 1 in the morning and then the combo in the afternoon (instead of the usual, which is the other way around). That means the newbies among us could get totally caught up in 1 day.

Did it move?

holy moley.. i never even knew there was a regional subforum. i just checked it now and there are some toronto-related posts..mcbride cycle sale in particular. i wonder if the posters there know there's a slightly larger toronto thread. op's right, it has zero traffic. i'm against moving this thread. i like 500lbs gorillas. this thread's T.O, but it's also fixed-gear specific.

well it is now that rob is on a fixed gear. I feel like we are leaving out oscar though, he's the man.

I don't really care where this thread is anyways as I have it bookmarked (for page 900)

Did it move?
:eek: it danced

Any of you guys actually buying those nashbar hubs, click on coupons at the top and use the 10% off. That should definitley get you under the $20 for the order. Sadly I only remembered this morning after I placed teh order.

That would be this coupon code here: http://www.bikeforums.net/showpost.php?p=2678929&postcount=2

Edit: Looks like the page for teh hubz is gone already. GG.

I am still alive, still around, giving a very seriuos though about acquiring a single speed bike, I am on the look out for a Road bike Tandem though

Does anybody have one or two of these 26.0 cross levers that they want to sell?

it can be tektro, cane creek, salsa, or whatever just as long as it's the same design.

']Hey Toronto Fixed Gear riders:

I was going to put this thread into the Regional Subforums as I think it would be better served there and that is pretty much the purpose of that area. I know this is a pretty Fixed Gear specific thread and it is really helpful, but what are you thoughts on opening it up to the Regional Subforums? PM me your thoughts and concerns on this. The placement of this thread will be based on your thoughtful input.
Thanks again!

What with having sticky status and all, I think this thread is pretty visible right now. New members chime in regularly and the community is growing. Having said that the thread is serving a worthwhile purpose. I'd hate to see that momentum lost by parking the thread in a different spot that may or may not create more exposure.

just one opinion

hmm a Friday at the track ... might be doable

That thing totally isn't UCI legal.

is McBride's totally picked over yet? i was thinking of heading over there before class tomorrow. speaking of before class, i don't have to be at school until 3 if anyone is interested in coffee or lunch (provided it's not still pouring).

I don't think you'd be able to steer that thing if there's any wind at all.

I think it was picked over before they started, personally. I wouldn't bother if I were you.

Remember our plan of setting up some bait bikes? Looks like (of all people) UofT Campus Police beat us to the punch: http://spacing.ca/wire/?p=1190

Good stuff!

Cool, good for the campus cops.....and I wonder where I can get a roof rack for that Audi, I'll take one in whatever colour you see fit. BERSERKO!!!!!! Is that anything like a D&D Berserker?

Might be a little more successful if they didnt tell everyone they were doing it.

reminds me of the nerdish reference in "clerks". "Olaf do the berserker face!"

hahahahaha D&D and AD&D pwn!

Actually, I think it's probably supposed to be as much a deterrent to theft as a means to capture the thieves. I can't imagine that bike thieves get much more than a slap on the wrist anyway. This way they don't even really need to put tracking systems on bait bikes, they just put out word that that's what they did and thieves become afraid that they're going to steal one of them. Of course, I hope that's not the case. :)

hahahahaha D&D and AD&D pwn!

/me attacks with his Level 24 Berserker Dwarf and his double handed Axe of Impirium with +10 rage.
