Bike Clinic has a few used, mostly commuter fare I think, La Carrera is worth a phone call to see if they have any good consignments, they've been doing private consignments for their customers here and there.

Hello from NYC, denizens of TOfixed. I gotta say, I've been disappointed by the small number of fixies I've been able to spot around Manhattan. Are they all hiding in the other boroughs or somethin'?

I got stuck in that storm, luckily I was heading east so I was spinning out the whole way home with that wind, pretty fun but I got soaked.

Oh so they have the internet there now? Cool. They'll discover that newfangled fixed gear technology soon enough now

Keith -- do you have / can you order axles for an IRO rear hub? The formula I bought is a bit narrow for my 126 spacing (not enough threads engaged on the track nuts), but I believe the axle has the same bearing configuration/diameter as the IRO hubs. Guess this extra trouble is what I get for not buying something from you in the first place

Most of what I sell are 120 spaced so if you want to bring me yours I will swap it for a 180mm. You can always chop off what you dont need if the extra length bothers ya. Or you can put on some pegs and trick out yo!

Hey Adam, can I get that wheel back from you this week/weekend? If you give Keith a beer he may hold it for me and I can grab it on my way home from work.

I likely won't be out to U of T for a bit.

And are the sprints on for tomorrow?

Doh! I just brought it down to U of T + locked it to my desk yesterday Keith - if it's okay with you, I'll bring it by the shop tomorrow afternoon + we can also talk about my hub.

My track bike is in the shop right now and the Miele conversion has no cranks. So... I'm fixed-gear-less. I might still make an appearance at the sprints tomorrow night though. Maybe an exception could be made for me (for riding a freewheel) if I don't stop pedalling or change gears? That is if I don't clear at Eglington and Bathurst and 6:45 (which I probably will).
