It's actually not black but a really dark green. Goes well with the blue Velocity rims.

CP 24 just ran a lovely little POS story about someone's precious doggy getting hit in High Park by a cyclist. So now we're dog-haters, too. Great.

On topic: I don't think the dude was on a ss/fg.

Hard to say. It might just be a smidge loose. It might need a full overhaul. It definately has some play in the bearings..rear hub. I think Chuck has arranged for someone to do it already tho.

didn't campy advertize their first generation record brakes as "speed modulators" rather than full on brakes? i don't remember where i read that but it seems like a nice little cover up for something that doesn't work..."uh, yeah, you shouldn't be grabbing at your brakes in a pack anyway, so these brakes are made race-specific by their lack of stopping power. mamma-mia!"

Speed modulators? That's sweet. Obviously written by a lawyer!

Breaking news. Does anyone here know of anyone that has had an IRO Mark V stolen in the last little while? 56 cm, Miche rear hub. I have many more details and the serial # so if anyone knows of anyone pass the info along.

26"-SS-Cyclecross/ATB. Very strange.

Do those brake levers work well with the V/canti's?

the cantis no problem. i had to install a travel agent for it to work with the V brake. so far so good; i'm going to trail-test it tomorrow. which reminds me: what's the easiest way into the Don (coming from parkdale)? i've only ever seen the entrance at pottery road...
