i usually budget 5 hours with all rests and everything.

thanks, its an 1987 concorde squadra pro. I rawed the frame out is all. Rides like a dream.

Ok who's going on Sunday. Also does anyone have any leads on a profile aquarack? One of those that attach to your seatpost and has dual cages?

last one i saw was at Duke's. or perhaps one of those tri-specific stores. also i believe racer sportif has em.

urbane had a few a week ago as well.
Wheels on bloor may also be worth checking out.
maybe even mec

if you want a quick and dirty way to attach bottle cages to your frame you can always use some $0.25 hose clamps from canadian tire.

I thought about that, but man it looks ugly. The other stupid idea I had was drilling holes on the downtube, but I think that's darwin award right there.

Edit: Is there an easy way of getting fork race off fork without the fancy park tool? Add: This is not a destructive removal of said race and the fork is not disposable.

Get the hammer!!!! :lol:

it doesn't look that bad if you use smaller ones and tiny screws. i've done it on a frame with no braze ons and it seemed meet my aesthetic scrutiny...

I'd wear a shirt that says that.

wrap end of fork with rag to protect threads. Using a hammer and punch strike underside of race alternately from front to back.

I warsh myself with a rag on a stick

edit: speaking for warshing, weather isn't looking too hot for tomorrow+night. d'oh! http://weatheroffice.ec.gc.ca/city/p..._metric_e.html

Bah, come on the weathermen can't even give you the correct current weather, let alone 24 hours from now.

Awesome I knew there was a hammer in there, and more threads for you to destroy Rob.
jk'in'

i hope to make it out and ride the cavern cruiser. just in the process of trying to convince my lady that riding with a bunch of guys will be more fun than what we'd originally had planned :D

Especially when you come back drunk, stoned and pass out within 10min. :lol:

with all our talk of Oakleys yesterday I found this....

I want to get one of these shields so I can see if I can adapt it for my full face Helmet. I figure i should be able to Dremel the material if necessary.

You guys should definitely come out. You can always split at some point. Is it possible to convince the lady to come out too? Or is that what you're trying to do?

Convince your lady first...!

Jammer just get one of these:

Although granted, it's not full face but it's pretty aer0.

I'd love to have some sort of shield .... especially for winter riding. Wanted one since I got the helmet, I used ski goggles last winter, worked ok but too hot at times. I don't actually want the shield plastered up against my eyes.
hmmm Oakley Hockey Visors.

great idea.. although i can't see how oakleys wouldn't cost a bundle... definitely something to look in to for winter.

The FB shield is like 40 bucks US....
I'll poke around and try to find some canadian retailer with either, CCM distributes the hockey visior.
I like the look of the Aviator Hockey. We'll see as good optically correct ski/snowbaord goggles are a fortune anyway and then I get fogging issues sometimes.

Hey fixie dudes, check out my new project...

(Excuse the crappy quick-shoot photos. I'm gonna take some better daylight shots later.)

Eagerly awaiting the rest of the parts to build it up... :)

Helloooooo. How'd you snag that pretty lady?

I'm assuming you're joking. Otherwise, them's fightin' words.
