no I mean hot gun blueing, you can blue metal in both hot and cold methods of applying it to guns the cold doesn't have the same lasting power as the hot method. But the hot method requires chemical baths and such. I'll make some phone calls on monday I guess.

They're good for the old back.

I'm going to do a powdercoat job on the whole thing - do the monotone look.

Here's some late notice, though since I heard it on the street you all probably know, there's to be a bike polo orientation/mallet building/time wasted well at trinity bellwoods tomorrow, around 2pm near the hockey facility. if it's as nice tomorrow as it was today should be fun & a chance to team up, I believe it's 3 person teams but ask Navid or someone there, they'd know, maybe it's five but I'm fairly certain it's 3

Hey anyone know where I can find some obscure thing that no one has ever heard of? I'm not going to explain what it is until you start to ask about it, although clearly you should have heard of it. It's the coolest thing ever. (just messin with ya Stephen)

If I wake up in time I'll be there. Otherwise I won't.


Still on for Sunday at the Island though.

Is this for real? 59.95 sounds more like price for ONE tire.

Anyone know a shop/person w/ a Rob Roy frame set ("60cm" model)? It's got a 58cm or so effective top tube. Let me know, please (416) 778-6473 <- PM or phone would be jazzy.

I need this asap if it's available. Like, today as soon as I can get my hands on it.

Guess whose awake? That's right. I'll be at the Moonbeam at 9:30.

Oh and Last night James said he'll probably sleep in so he probably won't show up.

wow. The bearings on my surly rear are totally binded. I don't know how long I've been riding it like this. I'm going to break out the cone wrenches this afternoon and see if I haven't pooched the bearings inside.
