Nice . . . I know going rigid is the rage now, but that rear shock is not going to allow for much travel is it?

What size is that Scythe? For reference, I ride a Medium. I also would have preferred the Red and White colour scheme as it reminds me of the Canadian flag. That being said, I won't be against trying your bike.

Canadian? I thought you were French. Anyway, you can't get the scythe in red/white, sorry.
The new piece is a Large, but significantly shorter, both TT and WB, than the SXT.

French? No, France is on the other side of the huge body of water just to the east of you. Okay, the bike may be a little large for me but I think I can manage.

I have now come to the conclusion the whole of the TGMBG are slow hacks who crash more than they pin.

Well, I pretty much need a new rear wheel. The rear hub on the current wheel gave up the ghost today.

I had lost a pair of pedals and had gone crazy looking for them in my garage. I found them in an old backpack sitting in the back of my bedroom closet.

Except it was a banana, and I knew it was in my bedroom. I couldn't be bothered looking hard for it, so I left it until it stank, and followed the smell.

My friend lost a pedal yesterday at Silver Mountain. We combed the brush on both sides of the trail for a couple hundred feet where he though it dropped (stripped crank-arm hole) and never did turn it up. Crank was a brand new Holzfeller Howitzer too. I thought those were supposed to have steel inserts but it looks to me like it is just aluminum at the pedal thread.

Just got a call from my doctor. His radiologist looked at my wrist x-rays last Friday and apparently it's not good. I have to go for more tests but if it's as bad and the radiologist thinks it is, I'm done for the year and will need surgery. That would mean no 24 Hours race, no Whistler trip, and no TGMBG ride.

Never, sucks to hear that. Hope it's all good.
