I would imagine only if it was rubbed off to bare metal. There's no rust on mine... yet.

Every time I go shopping with Kim I see clumps of bikeforums peeps riding around. Danhalen, you actually rode past me twice today, hours apart.

Also: someone in my neighborhood is playing with fireworks. Funny because last night me and my friends were the yahoos with firecrackers. :P

Vaguely related: Everytime I see an Urbanite locked up I just assume it's your bike avec new bars, so I look around to see if you're like 10' away on a patio or something ... which of course makes the person who ACTUALLY owns the bike think I'm about to attempt stealing it.

hahah.. nice.

ps. picked up the bike and (also vaguely related to recent posts) one of the Brooks care kits at the shop today while your were out on the ride. Didn't have time last night. Picked up a 2nd baskety pannier thing for kim's bike too.

there are a lot of urbanites in this city; you must always be looking over your shoulder...

I had a visitor today.

John, you have some SERIOUS reach with your setup... You must like being streetttchhhed out... :)

Too bad really. That show had such a sweet intro. Too bad the rest of that crap sucked ****ing dog **** *****! ****!

what was pyze-guy doing up in kingston? man, you know you're a cyclist when you recognize someone based on their bike...

Ya I do, but that stem is the same as my cinelli = 120mm & with the risers i’m fairly up as opposed to the bullhorns way down!
But I really the bars they will be staying on for a while.

When I was at Paris Roubaix I saw one bike w/ a 170mm stem!

You're dead to me. :P

This is the part where I obnoxiously name-drop some massive celebrity I rubbed shoulders with, but really all I did was snake one poor guy's line toward the port'o'pottie before the race.

I see Brad: http://www.ibiketo.ca/node/159

lawl +1!

Anyone want to ride to coffee and baked goods (hopefully a delicious sticky bun)??

You're a sticky bun.

So, there was a shooting right in front of my appartment last night. Apparently the guy is on life support so they're investigating as if it was a murder. I was out, but my roomate said he heard *POP POP POP* and tires squealing around 1:30am. ROTFL. Oh wait I mean ****. Thank god my parents are in Florida right now. My Mom would totally freak out.

I witnessed a bouncer ask sonambulant to take his sexy giro lid off on entering Lee's palace lastnight at the !!! show. Nice bumping into ya.

Anyone going to the island tomorrow?

That's what the ladies tell me. I'm heading to Kensington and maybe further afield (need a 14mm box wrench and a few other sundries) If anyone wants to hang out just punch my digits in your cellular (or landline (do those things even still exist??)) If not enjoy the day all.

I was at Dance Cave last night and saw the bus out front which made me wonder what show had been there. Now I know I missed a !!! show! Crap. I would totally have gone had I known.

Dan, wtf, you're up early... What gives? Anywho, I have to go on a "find a left crank arm for a friend's ailing fixie" mission today at various bike shops if you're up for riding about. I think Tobes wants to roll around too.

Well I need to get a (sexy) grease gun. So I need to hit Crappy Tire. It looks beautiful outside and I actually feel a bit better today (who would have thought a few beers and no sleep would make my cold better...) so yeah I want like get outside and stuff.

Cool. I wouldn't mind going to Ukranian Tire to buy some shiat...

hahaha nice one. So, who wants to grease inject some stuff this afternoon? mwahahaha. Maybe some bananas? Trees? Frying pan? Suggestions?

Actually, it was more of an incredulous "you're not wearing that inside, right?" :P Fashion tips from the bouncer, how embarrassing. ;)

And I had an extra ticket too.. I *did* ask if anyone here was a fan a couple weeks ago, but nobody responded.
