Crank logo looks like the Nashbar logo

Does anyone know what brand these cranks are?

Nashbar stuff is cheaper but generally OK quality. The stuff is made for them by someone else with the Nashbar label slapped on. For instance, I think that Tektro is the OEM for the Nashbar in-line brake levers.

Am I the only that finds these trick videos kind of boring? *ducks* Seriously though, I just realized I'd rather watch racing. I mean they are kind of fun and the tricks are really cool. But I don't really have the patience to sit through a long one.

Damn that Pinarello is nice! I was at Biseagal the other day and there was an NOS late 80's Colnago that some guy brought in to get checked out. It was white with red etching and had a full NOS C-Record Group on it. Easily my favourite road bike to date in terms of beauty/desiretoridethehelloutofit-ness. Apparently the same guy also has a late 80's Eddy Merckx and 3(!) Colnago C40s!!!! Man I hate that guy!

okay gentlemen: it's been a long time since the lot of us went out and ripped through the city in warm weather at night time. what happened to those CV rides of yore?
I have a few days off this week and the wife is out of town so here's what i'm thinking: I'm going out for a night ride tomorrow evening, let's say 8:30, meet in the honest ed's parking lot like we used to. bring beer or appropriate beverages for mid/post ride libations. route to be determined based on mood and general consensus. who's interested? well just show up, i'll be there.

I equate it to flatland bmx. Not my thing, but I appreciate what's going on.

- I just want to have fun on my bike - whatever kind of bike. And, since I started learning tricks I find that I'm way more confident on my fix. For instance, on my way home yesterday I was bookin' to catch Amber before she headed off to school. Just before Jarvis on College a car makes a fast lane change from the curb lane to the turn lane so I busted out an evasive skid and actually skidded completely around the front of the car and back into my lane. It was very satisfying. 
That said, I'm still totally stoked for some sprints - **coughUNWINcough** - and any races. And as for video, I really wanted to teach myself non-linear video editing this summer and fig'd the best way to practice was to shoot some people having fun on bikes. I'll post when I've set something up if anyone's down.
