cavernmech,
Two things: Do you have 16t Dura-chay 1/8th cog and how much? Can you have a look at my headset after I'm done work @ approx. 545pm today? Pretty please?

Anyone on this forum who's paying municipal taxes, and I think most everyone does whether you rent or own, should ask the question of whether they're getting fair value for their tax dollar out of the Don valley parkway. If not, and I know I don't, I'd say go ahead and ride it for free.
