Things are good. Still teaching, food and baking at central tech.

Deal. If you need any other stuff let me know. Have some odds and ends that arent needed. Seatposts, stems, bars, might have a crank, chainring, tires, saddles (seems I have an old purple sparkle saddle not being used anymore.....)

anyone else been into brown's cycle? i live a block away so i went in there out of curiosity looking for some fenders and found the customer service shocking..nice guys but feeding people the wrong info. i overheard one sales person suggesting a upright flatbar hybrid as a good choice for a customer who wanted to get into racing because it was fast and had "clamp brakes" (v brakes) instead of too-heavy disk brakes. when i asked about full fenders i was told they were no popular because they were "too heavy" for road bikes.
i dunno maybe i caught them on a bad day.

Anyone get anything at the bike show? I didn't go, though I am looking for a new saddle with a cut out, I didn't want to spend hours in line.

New member doing my part to revive the zombie thread.
From Toronto but currently living in Kitchener after a year of riding fixed in Sudbury, which isn't particularly fun.

Shot in the dark: I am looking for a Silca frame pump with the metal campy head or a good quality Zefal frame pump for my new bike. Anyone have any leads?
