Gorgeous Rossin, love the frame... crazy cranks!

I went to Whitby on Saturday, my left crank failed on the way back as we were leaving Whitby, so I limped it back to the GO station and trained it back to Union. That's what you get for running a crappy old splined crankset and fixed gear together... I figured it'd happen, so no biggy - ended up kicking it old school and having a few beers and a puff in a park system before heading back into Toronto instead.

Lovely day out there today, I converted another old frame I had kicking around (Gardin) to a fixed beater and took it across town - loved the sun crossing Dundas and College eastbound... though the wind wasn't pretty at times.

PS. Can't wait to build my IRO.

PPS. Meltwater on railway underpasses can often be frozen... I found this out a rather hard and roadrashy way today. Oops.
