I'm *at* work.. what more can you expect?

ps. "Effective area: Approximately 3 m". boo! That's more along the lines of what I'd expect for that price though. As much as it would be nice to have a phone free bubble of like 25m around me at all times.

Yeah, I'm not totally sure if it will be helpful on that particular link because I haven't tried watching it, but it's helped me in other situations when a Quicktime file isn't available. Plus it's free/opensource which makes me more apt to install it.

had breakfast for lunch today at eat-me (diner on richmond/portland). a tasty greasy(but not too greasy) all-day breakfast for 5 bucks. 3 eggs, sausage or bacon, toast, damn good home fries, toast, coffee. good burritos and burgers there as well. anyways, one of the wait-staff, tristan, had a nice pink miele conversion locked up outside.
hey tristan: it's me (eugene). the alleycat info is in this thread, as well as the alleycat/race info thread within the ss/fix forum.

I just won the auction for this bike for my girlfriend's birthday in May. I plan on swapping over some off the parts onto my bikes and getting the frame powdercoated pink (her wish, not mine! Although it will look freaking sweet). I think it was agood deal but I was pushed right up to my spending limit. Oh well, she wanted to go dutch on it anyways so no big deal! It will sure be fun to ride a frame that small back to my house!

As far as sizing goes, as long as I jack up the seatpost a little and put on a longer stem it should fit her well. I'll be sure to post some pics later once I have it rebuilt and she is riding on it

I live in Toronto and I'm currently building up a fixie with an old road frame. Anybody know of any shops in Toronto that I can get a cheap track frame from?

yeah, Cavern Cycles (179 Queen St. E) always has a few nice cheap frames on hand. Plus Keith, the proprietor is a poster on this board and is an all around congenial guy. If you wanted a cheap(er) new fixed gear road frame instead of a true track frame you could get an urbanite frame from Urbane Cyclist at Queen and John.

That's terrible. You should mail it to some girl who would ride the hell out of it.

Lies!!

I've significantly reduced my posting to the Toronto Fixed thread only. I used to read/post on every single new thread that popped up since my last visit.

<-- forum junkie

Also i'm going to sell my profile aerobars (getting the new s-bend T2+ ones). Pm if interested.

nice shiznaz. that looks like an urbanite frame to me. but for that price you got a deal with the CK headset included.

After getting the bike back home I can safely say it was a most excellent deal. Its pretty much in perfect like-new condition save a few scratches which don't matter since its getting powdercoated. The rear wheel is unfortunately only threaded for freewheel so I may have to get it relaced some time if she decides to try out fixed gear. Other than that its very solid and the front end is super-stiff. The seatpost is also really long, so that combined with a longer stem I have and the fit is perfect. I plan on putting the king headset on my spicer and switching the selcof one to the urbanite because I'm selfish like that.

I think I'm going to bail on whatever festivities I had suggested for tomorrow.. you know, for the two of you that expressed interest.

I suddenly came to my senses and realized that I don't have to wade through hundreds of people at a pub for a $6 beer. I can just drink the ones sitting in my fridge and play video games.

Heh - My buddy Euge booked out the back room at Cadillac for his b-day party on friday, so if you feel like hunting down a pint sans-lines, feel free to drop by and sample the cold wobbly pops.
