What make and model of fork is it?
On another happy note the first big shipment of IRO stuff is coming in tomorrow. This will be the last I have to deal with UPS (YAY!) as we are setting up our own customs broker and shipping so no more ridiculous fees from UPS. We are now not only an "official" dealer but also the Eastern Canadian distributor of everything IRO. Thanks for the Customs hook-up Duppy!!

WOO!

I think I may stop in for this week's safety meeting just to have a beer and say goodbye to the headaches of that situation. Glad to hear that weight's off your back, CM.

Xbox360 owners: I need a new game ... what's good now? Last thing I got into was GRAW and GoW. Preferably 2-player so the gf can pwn with me.

hey you got to shoot 2 guns at once though!!!

btw, what have you got in the way of rear cantis? I was going to pick up an avid shorty 4 but I was informed that the latest shimano cantis are really nice and pretty reasonable. They are the Shimano BR-R550 Deluxe Cantis. Also can I bring my bike and drivetrain in tomorrow at lunchtime?

I have only cheap *****mano cants on hand right now. They are decent if you replace the stock pads with good pads but perhaps a little cheezy for the pimpin' ride. I will look around and see what I have in the way of good older ones. You can bring in yer bike anytime that suits you....get it?..."suits" you...you work in a bank...."suits you"......hahahahaha.... O.K....I admit it...that sucked. As you were.

Marzochi "bomber". about 2001 or so. probably not a high end fork, but if i can save it, all the better. i'd love to replace it with a suspension-corrected rigid fork. do you stock such a beast?

The Bomber can be re-built...cost would be about $150 for new seals, bushings and oil. For a sus corrected rigid I would suggest a Kona P2. They can be had for around $100. A very nice fork.
