Just wondering if everyones still alive.. its getting warmer you know :D

Hadn't really gone for a ride in a long time, I went for a ~20k short one around town yesterday. I felt so out of shape. That and I gained like 3 pounds over christmas :|

Still too much effort to bike 30k to school though... for now.

I've been biking around quite alot recently, but I haven't done any real long rides to speak of. My disc brake setup had a problem recently so now I'm running my winter fixed gear bike brakeless and I've been very happy with it like that so far. I'd be up for a ride if anyone else is!

Hey there,

Do you guys do regular road rides in the summer? I'm building up a cross frame, and I'd like to put some pavement miles on it this year.

I'm going to be downtown tomorrow. Looking for some wheels/cranksets for my bianchi frame. I am so out of shape now it's not funny.

We only managed one...? or was it two rides before winter came on in. But yeah I think everyone would be up to get together for a ride.

Hey I noticed theres another Toronto Bike Show in March. Think it's a good place to pick up some parts shiznaz?

Shiznaz 02-11-05 12:12 AM

yeah, the spring show is way bigger than the fall show, and it goes for 3 days. Also don't miss the St. Valentines Day Massacre ice race this year at Dufferin Grove Park at around 5-6pm... looks like it will be a blast!

Shiznaz 02-12-05 11:30 AM

I'll be looking for some clipless shoes and a pair of eggbeaters, and maybe some aerobars if they are cheap (want to do some TTs in the future). If I see some spinergy rev-x wheels I just might have to get them as well, despite the difficulties getting them to work fixed gear.
If I can find a bmx for cheap I might be able to do a ridiculous hack like this too:

Looks like it would be a blast to ride around and nobody would ever steal it!

operator 02-12-05 12:24 PM

That is one long... seatpost. And blah I woke up too late.

darkmother 02-14-05 12:10 PM

Anyone check out the ice race? Didn't get a chance, but it sounded pretty cool.

operator 02-15-05 06:16 PM

Hey shiz did you get those bullhorns

Shiznaz 02-15-05 09:01 PM

no, they didn't have what I was looking for unfortunately

Did they have any bullhorns period? I was too busy not looking for handlebars.

Shiznaz 02-17-05 11:28 AM

all their bullhorn bars either have grooves for cable routing or are drilled for cable routining. Since I'm not running brake, I don't want any of that, just a nice smooth strong steel set. I figure I'll have the best luck finding them at the spring bike show, but I may check Parts Unknown to see if they have some sitting there.
I'm looking for something like this http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=7135035135 (although these are aluminum)

Shiznaz 02-18-05 11:08 PM

here is what my bike looks like now (for the most part)

and here is what I am planning for it to look like (eventually, hopefully)

This is just me being bored...

operator 02-19-05 12:01 AM

That's going to look pretty damn rad.

Edit: You going to go completely brakeless?
