Thanks for all the tips!

The starnut was actually installed and I realized once I stacked everything up that I don't need to cut the steerer tube... in fact, I couldn't if I wanted to!

So, I think I need to press the bearing cap another mm and I'll be in business.

Here she is, all hand tightened so no where near ridable but you get the idea... and of course, missing the proper front wheel... *cough* keith *cough* ;)

Lookin good there

yo is that an angus? looks nice meng!

You had to replace the frame in that mishap you had?

mark v pro

sweet...that bike is boss!

Matt, aren't you sort of overlapping w/ a bike you already have or did something happen to the other Mark V?

I was just about to say that I've always had a soft spot in my heart for the IRO stuff and wish I had one, but then I remember I did have one and have another one on the way (orange Rob Roy group buy frame). Yeesh.

Hey saw ^^^^^ waiting for a bus last night on Ossington. 10 pts +100 pts for NO BIKE!

Mike, what is three girls and a bucket?

Three girls and a bucket is a nightmare scenario that doesn't exist. I was going to follow it up with nine girls and a trough but I figured no one would ever sleep again if they got that in their head.

The frame was ok but I was replacing enough stuff that I figured "what the hell" and just went for the Mark V Pro complete and figured that I can either sell off the good stuff from the other bike or just build it up later / keep it as a spare... we'll see... now I just gotta finish sorting out stuff with the lady's insurance company which is my current largest headache. The new bike definitely helps make dealing with them more manageable... ;)

Oh, riiight.

Heads-up: The C.T. auction list will be available tonight. There's about 25 bikes, half a dozen framesets and wheelsets, umpteen bajillion parts, tools and accessories. More will be on the way (we're not to only ones providing stuff for the auction).

Can we use any form of payment or would you really prefer cash?

Cash is always nice but we'll be taking cash/debit/Visa/Mastercard. The only things that aren't an option are cheques and AmEx.

Sounds nice. CT site seems down... there will be a link for the list?

What no third party, double-endorsed , post-dated, out of province cheques? You guys are hard asses.

CT site is in smoldering ruins until I start working on it again this winter. I'll post a link here on the forums. Anyone who has pm'd or emailed me about the auction should get a direct notice too.

That's a paddlin'.

Hahahaha

Do you accept bits of string?

Depends what the other end is tied to.

I've got a hen that lays golden eggs....

Rob thanks for the bag balm! I'll take it off your hospital tab ;) We talk.

I'm not going to sprints tonight. got a sore throat and have to get to bed early :(

Is there anyone I can bribe to hand out flyers at sprints tonight? I'm Mr. Homebody once I get in from work. Anybody? No? Okay, thought so.

Use your imagination. ;)

I will be at the shop till 7 or so...if you want to drop em off here I will hand some out for ya.

Did I ever mention that the first time I met Keith, he gave me a pair of plastic clips? What a nice young man. And that was even before I knew that bikes and the internet could go together.

Aw shucks.....I'm welling up. Good people get same in return. Dog help you if you get on my bad side tho. ;)
