about the yonge street fallacy: i grew up with that "fact" constantly pounded into my head in elementary school.
about spending money on bike parts: there's a guy on craiglist who used to race in toronto and europe (mid 80s early 90s) and he's getting rid of all his road-related crap. marriage, a baby, and medical school will tend to do that. anyhoo, he's got a lot of stuff which has probably been picked through. a got campy cranks, brakesets, seatpost, BBs, cinelli stems, another stronglight headset, mavic open 4cd clinchers/mavic hubs with conti tires.. what the hell am i going to do with a dura-ace freewheel....he even threw in some old campy wool jerseys FO CHEAP. nice guy, chatty.. his parents basically don't want any of his junk in their house and he's liquiding. the stuff's well taken care of.. he wrenches as well as races.. and almost everything is mid 80s campy/dura-ace. if anyone needs anything email him
