Another recommendation for Sneaky Dee's. We went there after the bike show on Saturday night, food was great, prices are good, beer was cold. No entertainment on Saturday night, though (Leafs were on TV but weren't entertaining at all)

Traffic Jammer, I'm 5'9" tall, trying to make a 49cm road bike fit that I just picked up with all Campy stuff on it. . This bike has a long top tube, so I think I can make it work, haven't ridden it enough to be sure yet. Try a longer stem and offset seatpost (ya gotta get the busted one out anyways)

well that IS good news ...... I was envisioning the funny bike suggestion, think that setup works for ice raing as well? I've got a spike pattern worked out. Now who does flip/flops around here? Now I'm stoked to make it fit.......lol Don't think I ever had a road frame fit perfectly anyway....least not until my birthday....woooohoooo

if y'all make it to dee's, someone lift a pint of blonde and eat the 'el traditional' for me. thanks!

traffic jammer> can you twist one for me? thanks!

Shiz....nice Illuminati bike (eye in the triangle, obscure reference). Only you could ride that giant thing, well you and Jeremy. How tall are you anyway? I was thinkin one of those old style Tri seatposts that curve bakc over the back wheel...as I really don;t like being waay too far past the front hub.

FD...I can. lol

Recent studies show that MEC Samurai Cycling Pants do *not* keep you dry. :P

So, what do you say we meet someplace at 12:00 (say, for coffee) and go for a bit of a ride and wind up at Sneaky Dee's? I'm teh suck at coming up with routes though, so if anyone else wants to handle that..? Obviously we can just ride "stream of conscience" as well and just go whereever. Which will probably mean downhill and with the wind. ;)

My studies tell me the mec torrent rain pants do keep you dry but the run off of rain will keep your feet wet!

My studies show that staying home with a poor sick daughter allows one to stay perfectly dry.

My study said drive today due to hockey playoff game tonight, gotta prioritize the energy!
My FarWest Gore-Tex pants (courtesy of the double vay boutique) keep the legs dry for the commute on days like this, but I think if I had to ride longer than the half hour it takes, I would have to look at something better (and more expensive)

Unfortunately, I'll again have to bail on Saturday as I'm moving. Once that's done I should be able to get out for beer/coffee/burritos/Blackblack

harharhar..shaddap. ;)
cam, did find a place in the annette area? buy or rent? i'll bring some durian for the housewarming.

i'll bring some durian for the housewarming.

:eek: heh. tasty stuff, though...

Wow, that Cyclops is hot, how light is it? And yeah, Sneaks is pretty much the best for burritos and beer, aside from La Hacienda on Queen. I like how dirty Sneaks is and how treacherous it can be....watching the ceiling bounce up and down from the dancers on the second floor gives me an adrenaline/fear rush ;)

wow shiz.. sweet cyclops.. sweeter lugs. from high-tech to old school, i'm glad you saw the light! it doesn't look quite as big as your spicer. i'm assuming it fits fine though?
dead or alive, you're coming with me.

If you're looking for rain pants (you'll need them this weekend) MEC's Cyclone (http://www.mec.ca/Products/product_detail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524442617947&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374302692411&bmUID=1141931111067) pants are fantastic. The rain will run down your legs and on your shoes, so wear shoe covers (http://www.mec.ca/Products/product_detail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524442332797&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374302692723&bmUID=1141931323677) too (probably too dorky for you fixie dudes) but that combination has kept me dry and happy on many long tours. Nothing else at that price point comes close, though you can find similarly priced shoe covers w/o all the ugly reflective crap.

I'm a computer programmer... I live for dorkiness. Function usually beats form. :)

I just don't know if those shoe covers will fit over my shoes (http://reviews.southerndownhill.com/html/Shimano_MP66_Dx_Shoes.html).

I love my booties.

I love my booties.

We all love your booties. <3

Ever since the day they asked me and my buddies to leave because we smelled bad (we were coming back from a long ride) I swore I would never set foot in that place again. Did I mention my significant other works at Dees? Gotta love the staff discount.

Oh.......Not only am I out of stock on Miche hubs right now.....I usually sell em for $150 a pair. $80 a pair is less than wholesale. Grab that $#!t The new ones come with 15mm nuts tho ...so....you know.....the extra $70 is worth it.

$80 per PAIR????? that can't be right.... i'm coming up if it is. :D
keithy, i thought 15mm is preferable to 14 cuz it's more common? not that there's any problem finding a 14mm cone wrench..

Man....either that place has changed, or you were pretty stinky!:) I spent way too many of my formative years at Sneaky's (shows, doesn't it?) and they never kicked me out, even though they probably should have. One time my buddy and I were drinking there late one night, and he passed out on the table. The waitress still served us one last pitcher of beer for the road. Now that's classy!

yikes keith, sneaky's doesn't have the best aromas to begin with..not sure what that says about your bo! besides, who can smell much after a couple of pitchers and taco breath?

I'm hungry for beer and dirty nachos NOW, damnit.

Is it too much to ask for some sun? I'm digging this 11 degrees business, but really.

Computer programming AHA.

Weather forecast says 8 on Saturday with rain possible in evening.
The last time I rode through heavy rain was on my way back from St. Catharines, I was literally soaked through so much I didn't care if I got any more wet. Epic ride - 120km.

aww shiat... time to get a life. :(

No No. La Hacienda was the place that shunned us. They don't exactly have a floral bouquet going in that dump either.

Now Dees......Well some of my fondest drunken memories come from there. I know the whole staff as well as them sponsoring our team last season.

Shiz....nice Illuminati bike (eye in the triangle, obscure reference). Only you could ride that giant thing, well you and Jeremy. How tall are you anyway?

come on now, i'm only 6'3". i never see track frames in my size. if anyone else does, holla.

i usually just let my legs get wet while wearing some sort of quick-drying pants, full fenders keep the spray back from the front wheel to a minumum. and keep your feet dry.

Hey, who did I run into at Bikes on Wheels today? I totally forgot the name

Well... I was at bikes on wheels today, but I was the only one in the shop at the time save one of the guys who works there who came out from the back. If thats you then wicked!

And this cyclops frame will fit me well... its got a nice long seat tube but a shorter top tube. My Spicer has a longer top tube, but it is in fact too long and I have to use a short 80mm stem to make up for it. So the Cyclops with a proper 100-120mm stem will be just the ticket

harharhar..shaddap. ;)

No, I'm over a little ways from Cycletherapy's old shop, Curzon and Dundas St. E. I'll pass on the durian thanks. :D

Confused. I'm sure if the person had said his user name was shiznaz I would have remembered that for sure. I asked the guy (because he was riding a green fixie with a top bar protector) are you on bike forums? And then chatting followed.

It would seem that there were more than one BF'er in the store. Creepy, we're everywhere, and we don't even know it. I could have been the guy that came out of the back though. There were only two of us working.

I have a feeling that this is going to turn into another mess like 32flavours started, trying to figure out who everyone is. Let the destruction begin!

let the toronto BF photo-gallery BEGIN!

It's early March. Take what you can get. :)

I know, I'm greedy. It's supposed to be partly sunny on Saturday though. Let the games begin! Although I will probably suffering with my textbooks indoors.

I was the guy with the blue fixie who was looking for a 54cm used road frame for my girlfriend and I was told by whomever I was talking to that I should go see George at Parts Unknown to see a bianchi he had.

oh oh names to faces time...... should we have a secret finger symbol for BF? oooooh our own gangsta signs....what fun...hahahahahaha

Just go around asking people "Are you fixed? Wanna ride with me?"

yea toronto BF def. needs our own secret handshake.
like... when you shake a persons hand, stick out your index finger and tickle the other person's palm haha

anyways here's a crappy teaser pic of my latest and greatest.

Ya, I guess you talked to Pete. They keep me tucked away in the back much of the time.

P.S. I know some of us played "show and tell" before, but this thread is getting way to big to search for stuff anymore. Yay 100 pages!

Sr20 what's doing with the GT.That looks good from what i can see? Snap up some more.
Cheers

I want your son's toque

sigh, the GT's just not going. its stuck and work and I have no time to ever get it going.

and the f-ing jamis. zomg ... the seller listed it as $50 dollars.
So the customs people open up my frame and see that its basically brand new and has some carbon on it so they tag it as $1500.
so then when it got to my door, UPS wanted to charge me frekking $250 for customs duties.
so I told the UPS guy to screw himself and send it back to the seller.

anyways, that should get back here again sometime in the next week or so.
btw, its FINALLY MARCH BREAK! hurrah.

Just go around asking people "Are you fixed? Wanna ride with me?"

ha, uh yeah... i guess either way they are going to understand and it will work in your favour.... or they won't understand and it'll work out anyways?!


sigh, the GT's just not going. its suck and work and I have no time to ever get it going.

what size is it? what does it still need? does it need a new home *raises eye brow*?

its a 54.5 prob a bit too small for ya.
anyways, I have everything for it already, just no time to build it up.
+ now I got the marinoni, maby I should liquidate for a laptop. hmm.....
