Dear ... everybody,
This is the part that fell off my fender tonight. I doubled back but couldn't find it. Anyone have this part kicking around somewhere ... or even a bin of "fender jiblets" that I can pick through in search of one? The fender is a Zefal Flamingo.
EDIT: https://twitpic.com/17zuh <-- Stupid TwitPic ... that's what I get for not posting it on Flickr.

Sketchy ride in this morning, guess the snow plowers don't work morning shifts.

days like this make me wish for disc brakes. On the flip side, a cross bike was the right choice!

Which route do you take to get home? Maybe you can leave it somewhere and I can just pick it up. I live at College/Ossington-ish, btw, and I'll probably be at home by 5pm.

Came off twice on my jaunt across town and back home. Second time was because of tracks, which I lost track of (har har) and got caught up in without realising. Doh!
Still a fair amount of fun to be had out there, just be careful of those big metal boxes!
Think I'll be taking the TTC to Keele/Steeles today

Anyone know if it's possible to get a decent mountain bike with front suspension in this city for around the 550-600 dollar mark? Track geo and 23mm tires is giving me an almost primal urge to ride a bike I can take over rough stuff on weekends but everything I check in the MTB forum seems to suggest that anything under 800 USD sucks and will break instantly. I don't need something that'll stand up to dirt jumping (on account of me being a wimp) just something I can ride down trails and crash into the occasional tree.
I've got birthday money and space on my credit card, gotta get on the spend train

Stuart - I take Humewood on a daily basis... which leads me to my next question: how does the city not plow on roads around schools? Also, city workers are G4N to the max; they had the whole day to plow and salt, yet did nothing.
Also, Chris King makes whole wheels? DT 1.1s to King Classics with DT 14/15 spokes. ~1700g @ 699 or so. Dear Chris, make a campy compatible hub. thanks.

Assuming Keith doesn't have a problem with it I'll be swinging by there this weekend so that works.

There was some coffee talk a few pages back, so I figured I'd throw this in here in case anyone is looking to spend what most people would consider too much $$ on an espresso machine. Unlike the bike stable equation, apparently the "n+1" rule doesn't work when it applies to real estate in the kitchen. Would rather it went to someone I know (even through forums) than a random stranger on CL:

I'll add this link to some comments about the Rancilio Silva that foo is selling.

It is a fine machine. If I didn't already have la pavonis and have to drop cash to get to TO to grab it, I'd seroiusly consider picking it up :-).

In other news, if anyone is ever wondering if an ACS freewheel will last any longer than one winter at the most, the answer is definately no.
