The posting is gone... guess someone grabbed it. What was it?
There's a nice Bianchi on there with no price listed other than "best offer". I emailed the guy hoping he just thought it was junk from his garage but apparently he's not quite so naive. :(
1980 ALEX bike, with Campy crank, Durace RD, good wheels and for $130.

Howard Moscoe
Thanks, I can't seem to stop thinking of that..person, as the TTC chair. Licensing & Standards is way too important for him too. Any idiot could've done 5 minutes of research to see what the TCC would tell anyone that looks into licensing bicycles...but Howard Moscoe is not just any idiot! He's got to spend some taxpayer cash to find out what the rest of us can learn for free.

Sneak the t.v. remote off the table......the next time he is "driving to the hoop" hit the power button on the remote.
And busting windows? Who does he think he is? Ron Artest?
He has a history of sort of anxiety attacks and tantrums and **** and doesn't cope well with stress (especially school stress). He had to move out for nearly a month at one point last year so he could go home and decompress. Nice guy though

Get all Ron Artest on your ass

Oh and if anyone has a line on a good 1" threaded headset I would love to talk to you about it...
What type of threading?
English or Italian?

English I'm pretty sure

10 pints at the bar = $50
internet connection at home = $40
reading robin's drunken ramblings on the forums = priceless

Malt liquor doesn't taste as good as it sounds.

Just got to the shop after a very leisurely, relaxed spin from the Beaches to the Ex and back downtown. Spring is here folks...take advantage. Seems my early shaving of the winter fur was not too optimistic after all. If I can get the Mtn bike finished by 4 I would go out again. I havn't so much as lubed the chain since last years Aug 24hr. My work is cut out for me. Can you say "complete overhaul"? I thought you could

Any computer techie types araound here? I am trying to download a pdf file from Fox's website for service. The page keeps saying it is done but nothing is showing up...totally blank page. Any thoughts? I lost my crib notes on my fork and shock settings and now am lost....please...help........meeeeeeeeeeee.......
Offhoff
03-11-07, 10:40 AM
Its probably downloading a file (probably a .pdf file) to your desktop or your downloads folder. You'll need to find that file and then open it using adobe acrobat reader (you can download that at adobe.com if you don't have it)

I'll be there. Ossington or kensington?
edit: at 32's pirate party last night there were 3 gigantic canons. One was made of cardboard and packing tape and could be aimed around the room mirthfully, and the other two were made out of about a pack of zig zags a piece and god knows how much pot and required two hands to hold. I think one of these put the captain of the party out of commission because when we were leaving he was like lying outside in a pile. Great party!

No coffee for me.....Tea only. I am heading out to shake down my set-up and get it dialed in. Gotta see a man about a horse. Give me a call when you are out and about...if I am done my errands I will hook up with you guys somewhere along the way.

you guyses suck the bag.. also, I don't know how anyone does training in high park
-roads are absolutely BRUTAL
-huge puddles everywhere
-apparently blind drivers
-children.
-parents.
-people walking/rollerblading/driving/tieing their shoes in the bike lane
-too many stop signs
Perhaps many of these things are made worse by the fact that it's early in the year and a Sunday afternoon, but ****, give me the Leslie Spit or the boring-ass Ex loop anyday over that mess.
Now, time to go peel off my wet socks and chamois (roadbike = no fenders). I feel like I've soiled my diaper. ;)
