Both do if you can make it look like you're working.

Pro-Tip: For a long thread, copy and paste the thread contents into a memo in word with letterhead at the top. For responses to threads, type them up in the email client and then copy and paste them to the thread!

That's so excesssssssive.... opening a word document with a letter head

well if you're going to spend more than a couple minutes on it... I have a shortcut on my taskbar to open a new memo letterhead formatted word doc. I have even printed out a thread on scrap paper before.

Usually if I check the forum at work, it's bike related anyhow, so no big deal.

Newspaper are teh evil.


Such primitive forms of communication :crash:

ouch. my whole career, flashing before my eyes!

print media has been active in its current form for something like 700 years. since martin luther published his first bible. primative? yes. still relevant? yes. i don't think the printed word is going anywhere.

EDIT: i like bikes (that's for you wes).

Happy birthday to operator.... gods, I'm old enough to be your dad! (shudders)....

oh.... and son of a ***** must pay.... (I'm watching Big Trouble in Little China - my favourite line)

The rest of the movie is sucking pretty bad (never watch a movie you have fond memories of), but that line is better than make my day.

Nothing wrong with print media....its the publishers of print media that are the problem for the most part.
I also enjoy two wheeled, non-motorized vehicles.
I miss Frank Magazine.

what are you talking about, canadian journalism depends on conflicting interests between editors and publishers to keep things interesting. eg: drunkards like the walrus' editor-and-defacto-publisher ken alexander to mix it up with his psychotic tirades and surreptious rewrites that lord over the entire magazine! wait, maybe i wasn't supposed to say that... read the ryerson review of journalism spring issue, there will be more delightful anecdotes on this guy

media conglomerates are scary. it took me until last week to finally see outfoxed, about fox news, and was totally floored. while i don't think the situation here is quite as bad (god bless the saving graces of public media outlets like the cbc), we have our own monopolies. for example... canwest owns three of the top newspaper dailies in BC: the vancouver sun, the vancouver province, and the victoria times-colonist. and a myriad of smaller ones

It is a chilly night with the wind out there. But the wind is good in dispersing my wind. Too much homemade 6 bean salad with roasted garlic, bacon, avacado and corn is dangerous. Tasty though.

everyone wish Operator a happy 21st birthday!

Ok, it didn't work. 365 days till the next tour, and I will have my on CC by then. Shiznaz I applaud your ninja bikeforums browsing tactics.

Back?

I like bicycles.

I must agree & caesars as well!
HOT!

Yes...... A hozan bike truing stand went from $68 to $198 in 30 seconds..... holy lick.... I have two bottles of vino in me...

And my media hard drive seems to have crashed.... damn you ext3!!!! more coherent tomorrow...

I must admit i’m one of them peeps that snipe in the last seconds. Also I‘ve been looking in on ps2's, & coming down to the last seconds people are paying (bidding) more then they are worth in store new, crazy.

not to mention their other media monopoly, global TV and now CHUM.

A most excellent idea.

Happy Birthday Rob!!!!!

The SS MTB is nice an' smooth...mmm like butta. I'm going to try the 42x16, the 18 is really spinny.
Thanks Keith!!!! wooohoooo

after the first dumping of snow i floped my flip flop hub over to the 42x18 and quite like it, spinny or no. i have to agree though, if you like to ride fast the 16t should do you well, it's about a 71" gear. actually probably less if you're running a wide tire on 650c.

finally finished the winter bike. not much to look at but i think it'll get the job done. i don't think my urbanite will last with winter being locked up outside all day.

Yah no one wants ps3's anymore. It's all about the WII.

That is exactly what I have in mind for my winter bike but with drops. Is that a threadless stem on a threaded fork? How does that work??

nah, it's too damn cold! besides, i have to go to work...

haahaha ya i think my longest ride will be to get a coffee...;)

Brunch with the inlaws and then video games with a buddy in brampton this afternoon. Rode out early for milk this morning it's brisk but nice if you're dress for it.

Man, that sucks. Sorry to hear it. If it makes you feel better, when Icome back I'll tell you how bad it was :) Did you email X to tell him you're not comig?

Actually, it's quite elegant. I hope mine looks as good when it's finally ready in time for spring.

thanks to my personal mechanic i have a nice new sproket and chain.

heading out for a ride... anyone happen to know offhand if the martin goodman trail is cleared?

I seem to recall the signs saying it isn't cleared.

yeah, no winter maintenance... and although they are not clear at the moment, they were still fun! :)

There's a weird smooth snow-ice coating on the trails that's very amusing to ride on where it wasn't walked on before it froze.

well thank you. i think the all black scheme helps that. we'll see how elegant it is after a winter of salt. i don't mind running it through hell; the frame is bent and the BB threads are seized so it's in there permanently.

has anyone else seen the new bianchi street fixies w/ aluminum frames? i saw them at urbane the other day and they look sort of like the track pros, but with bosses for a rear brake and a carbon fork. kind of an odd hybrid?

You mean the San Jose? Sheldon breaks it down well.

I agree with the elegant comment black & chrome go well together.

no, not the san jose, it's a track-styled street fixie. no fender eyelets, no clearance for big tires or anything and oversixed aluminum frame. i believe it's called the "freemont"

Meh. Not impressed. Maybe after a couple of beers

looks a lot like what i ride, only 20 years newer!

the photos isn't great and the brake levers are underwhelming but it looks okay in person. a nice shaped tubes, but the rear brake bosses are a bit off putting. screams "single speed messenger look-a-like".

yup. the freemont. i still like my conversion.
