Hadn't really gone for a ride in a long time, I went for a ~20k short one around town yesterday. I felt so out of shape. That and I gained like 3 pounds over christmas :|
Still too much effort to bike 30k to school though... for now.

I've been biking around quite alot recently, but I haven't done any real long rides to speak of. My disc brake setup had a problem recently so now I'm running my winter fixed gear bike brakeless and I've been very happy with it like that so far. I'd be up for a ride if anyone else is!

Hey there,
Do you guys do regular road rides in the summer? I'm building up a cross frame, and I'd like to put some pavement miles on it this year.

yeah, the spring show is way bigger than the fall show, and it goes for 3 days. Also don't miss the St. Valentines Day Massacre ice race this year at Dufferin Grove Park at around 5-6pm... looks like it will be a blast!

I'll be looking for some clipless shoes and a pair of eggbeaters, and maybe some aerobars if they are cheap (want to do some TTs in the future). If I see some spinergy rev-x wheels I just might have to get them as well, despite the difficulties getting them to work fixed gear.
If I can find a bmx for cheap I might be able to do a ridiculous hack like this too:
Looks like it would be a blast to ride around and nobody would ever steal it!

all their bullhorn bars either have grooves for cable routing or are drilled for cable routining. Since I'm not running brake, I don't want any of that, just a nice smooth strong steel set. I figure I'll have the best luck finding them at the spring bike show, but I may check Parts Unknown to see if they have some sitting there.
I'm looking for something like this https://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=7135035135 (although these are aluminum)

That's going to look pretty damn rad.
Edit: You going to go completely brakeless?
