What Colin said...

Good to see you riding the other day.

After riding the new Fetish beast SS MTB around town for the last few weeks, I finally started riding my Surly when the roads cleared up. Everything feels faster now. The sun shines brighter, food tastes better. It's going to be a huge disappointment the next time the snow falls.

shhh your Fetish will hear you. There is nothing more pathetic than bike when it's sulking.

Slowest day in BF history!

everyone's frozen!

What tires does everyone recommend ?

For 700c fixed.

I use some Schwalbe Blizzard sport on the front. I've run it for a year and a half with no flats. On the rear, I'm running a cheepo Serfas Speed Reflection tire. A few months so far, no flats. I go through rear tires a lot, so I'm just using the low end stuff now.

In the beginning I was using Hutchinson Fusion Long Distance tires, but they were like $80 each. Beautiful, but will break the bank if you skid.

I rode Serfas Secas. At first they were good, grippy and stuff. 15 dollars!
But then turned out to be horrible tires after a month. like cheap rubber shoes that get slippery.

That bike is pretty un aer0

Your mom is pretty un aer0.

Badoom-ching!

Thanks guys, I'll be here all week.

...dont forget to tip your server ;)

Met a courier named Casper today. Apparently he used to work at our other store 'bikes on wheels'. Boy is he a fast talker.

I've met Casper before, he's a nice guy.

As for tires, I've had some Schwalbe Stelvios for almost a year, no flats so far with little wear, they are pretty damn grippy too, they're on my road bike though so I can't say how well they'll hold up for skidding.

Daily Ogle!

From FGG today

Droool! :eek:

i don't know; anyone who rides around like that with their bars two feet below the saddle is trying a bit too hard.

I talked to Kasper at Biseagal on friday. Yeah super nice guy. He gave me some stainless steel toeclips and a pair of cycling pants that he brought back from Denmark. Have any of you guys seen the website for that documentary on Toronto bike messengers that came out a few years ago? Kasper is in it. Here's a segment that he's in:

Oh, don't tell him I told you about this film ;)

The stem is raised up quite a bit. It's not that big of a drop really. Why the negative vibes? I think it's beautiful!

You can be our official bike messenger liaison.

That's track, and it's effing beautiful. I could see why you might set it up different if you work on the bike, but I wouldn't change a thing.

No no you don’t ride it, you just hang it on the wall, it dose look dam nice but i could not imagine riding it. I’m now on my second set of track drops gotta say not a big fan (for the street). i need to get me some nice flat ergo road drops & be done with it.

BTW, for those dying to know. I skated the Ottawa canal today good fun.

Oh you lucky Devil. My GF and I tried skating a couple weeks ago. Me, years since I last laced up, and her, from California. We were a pair of deuces out there. Useless!

I must say that I really enjoy my bullhorns for practical city riding. I would like some hot unwrapped gold drops for joy rides, and showing off at critical mass :p

If that's the regular setup, the cranks on that bike tell a lot about the owner.

Geez man this persons bike confiscated 'cause riding brakeless? seems kinna harsh!

Now here's a real high seat, low bar setup
