Bike Forums - Toronto Fixed

I know, he's kind of stupid about things, like not buying a bike because of its colour. Cyclemania has a nice used bike for $450, good shocks and components, wheels etc with a new frame, but wrong colour and he wants new. Lubo can build him a better one than the ironhorse, but not as good as the used one. He even told my friend the used bike is better. And Colin has his available for $500 and it is way better then anything he has looked at. Crazy. He doesn't get the fact that a good used bike is way better then the crappo sportcrap bike with promax disc brakes for the same price. He is set on a bike to only ride on trails, thus the Ironhorse. Oh well I gave my $.02 and if he doesn't take it...nothing I can do.

You've done your due diligence. The only last gasp recommendation would be to get him to test ride a couple. After that, let him do what he want but have your "told you so" card ready. I kind of like these ones:

:O rly.

What browser do you use?

Did you buy one?

I have the M3 Simply adapter which uses a micro SD card, trying to find a browser that I can load on to it so I can be just as nerdy.

While the nerds are in the house... what do I do with a ".daa" file? Do I have to copy the image to CDs or can I run it from the hard drive? Any shareware recommendations to deal with it?

You can "Try before you buy" with poweriso's software, but not sure it'll do what you need.

Yeah, I saw this too. There is something about work/utility bikes that is nice, I think they have a bit more personality.

Grab poweriso http://www.poweriso.com/download.htm
Free trial. It allows you to run the image from your harddrive. No burn necessary. Daemon tools (which is 100% free) also supports .daa but not all .daa images are compatible with it.

Keith, as you now know, it's red; the orange frame is essentially the same but not set up as fixed. And I spoke too soon. Not only did I break a front spoke, but on the way home my bottom bracket seized. Grrrrrrrrrr.
