The Bianchi that someone mentioned at Cyclemania for $295 was the exact same bike that I bought off of CL two weeks ago for $75 but my find was in much better condition. I gave it to a friend, damnit! There was also a very nice Raleigh track bike that he wanted $500 for, not a bad buy and I'm sure you could talk him down a bit.
haha.. i walked by that place during the taste of souvlaki.. i mean taste of the danforth food court. i saw the raleigh and thought it was pretty nice but noticed there were no price on it. wow, 5 bills? after going inside, i could hear the owner arguing with a customer about how track bikes should not be on the street and that they only belong on the track where they go "round and round". when queried about the luxury of not need derailleurs: "you never break a derailleur. when was the last time you broke a derailleur. NEVER. you only break it if you do it on purpose." ..and other crap about needing gears in this hilly city of toronto because you don't want to be huffing and puffing going up yonge from queen to bloor. god forbid you get a workout. total jokes because the guy had quite a lot of track frames in stock, plus a couple conversions outside. not sure what the **** he was trying to sell. what a joker. i got out of there quick. he ain't seein none o my bidness that's fo sure.
and i saw bad santa on the weekend. damn funny.
