Bikes: Menonite black urbanite, probably enough spare parts to make anther one.

in response to the comments on width of the b-17, it's my opinion that its width is part of the alluring comfort. a good saddle should be stiff enough to not squish back up into your nether regions and wide enough to support your sit bones, which the b17 does. if it's set up right, the your weight will be supported by your sit bones with the rest of your junk hovering just above the middle section of your saddle. keep in mind, having your handlebars positioned too low will add to the discomfort.

as for the pizza dough, i'm no expert, i've only had to make it a few times but i agree with brad, proofing and stretching is always better. the gisslen book is what they use to teach the bakers at george brown so it must say something right.
