Speaking of deep dark secrets, I had a terribly practical idea awhile back.

Tektro R200 brake levers for STI-style comfort goodness, Problem Solvers 2:1 two levers/one brake adapter.

wtf is that problem solvers thing? I have a set of those tektro levers at home that I took off my urbanite.

Alright....So I have been talked down off the ledge so to speak. Global Gutz will proceed as planned. Sat Sept 9, 5 P.M. sharp start time. Alley behind the Cavern. The plan is to send the winner's to CMWC in Australia paid for with the proceed's from a raffle. We have ton's of good stuff up for grab's. Some of the raffle prize's up for grab's....2 IRO Angus frameset's..Kryptonite lock's...Under The Weather bag's and clothing...and more to come. You can buy raffle ticket's for the aforementioned item's at www.messmedia.org/globalgutz/ All the prize's are not yet posted but will be soon.
To all the Bikeforum's folk's who may want to contribute/participate but do not want to race, I need a few folk's for checkpoint duty. P.M. me if you can help out. After party will take place at 227 Sterling.

I just bought myself some raffle tickets. Too bad I'm not going to be around for this.. sounds like it's going to be a good time!

Winner's prize = :O

Oooh, IRO Angus frameset. That'd be shweet.

Somna, give me your email address and I'll send you some pics of that cable thingie.

I'll see if I can come and help ya out no promises ,, if I can I'll let you know okies

so it's not a messenger only race?

I'd like to race.

You're not old enough. ;)

C'mon out. I will point out the guys whose wheels you want to sit on. ;)

You can destroy at least some of those guys on a fixed gear. I'm hitting that up on Saturday with my new build!
Also: Does anyone know where to get red salmon 'Kool Stop' pads? For shimano holders/refill type.

Jammer: they don't have the holder type refiills (not the V-brakes either), just the grey compound threaded brake blocks.

MEC as far as I know

I have 1 pair.

Reserved for operator! Thanks!

Hey....

is for horses?

yea

m is for masala dosa

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..

oh, btw, what was the name of that resto we ate at?

Speaking of restaurants....I think you mentioned a veggie place you liked a while back. What was that one called?

I don't think I'm terrible well geared up for a race, sooo I may offer up my body as a pylon or possibly be a rolling obstacle. :lol:

Ugh why does everything have to happen on the same day. The Board Meeting is riding a couple hundred kids down Yonge, I have a party to go too AND Global Gutz is going bah sometimes I wish didn't exist within linear time.

That is all

Udupi palace vegetaria (1460 Gerrard), one of the many places to eat in the fabulous East. I'm off tonight to scope out some sushi and then off to do some reading at the Tango Palace Cafe, home of very good espresso and very large Nanaimo bars. On my fixed gear.

Keith, I'll let you know re: helping out at the Gutz. My lawyer has advised me against taking part in anything competitive for the next seven years. Maybe TJ and I can get a rope and be a "flying guillotine" obstacle. That'd be fun.

Operator, I thought I saw you on College today wearing a bright yellow T-shirt. Was that you?

I mentioned a veggie place? I've probably mentioned lots of veggie places... any more clues? :) How recent was it? I had tasty veggie food at Boom Shiva on Queen W @ Dufferin for the first time this Summer, so that could have been it.

That's happening this Saturday? Damnit! I've been wanting to photograph that for a couple of years, but I keep missing it.

Please tell me that wasn't a frosh tshirt and/or it was some other asian dude. ;)
