no idea. doors are at 9:00 I think. I'm hoping to make it after rock-practice.

Holy Crap those freewheel backwards circles are amazing!

That would be cool. I may spin by after. B4 you go, check out Spector's "cardboard grates" show at Resistor Gallery (NW college and spadina) www.specterart.com Fri. 7-? free. I'll be working the bar.

Anyone see this stinky bike?

critical mass tomorrow...

i think you may be the first person to describe a band as "mathy". i know i proposed a ride today but it's been a busy week. don't think i even have time for a ride tomorrow.

If I'm not working I might drop by for the ride and some Sneaky Dees or dumplings after.

i was riding back from a job interview tonight and spied a hunter green lugged fixie with pink deep-vs, risers etc. locked up outside the Swan on queen; quite a nice build. anyone we know?

New job soon?

looks that way. no more brunch for me!

Huh, weird, I saw that too. It is that Giant track frame; the Bowery, I think it is called?

Some hot girl rides that

MATHCORE! Pullin time signatures out of a bag! I just can't keep up.

Anyone have a sweet front brake they want to sell me? Foo? My cheapie is pooched. PM me. I talked to Polly (recycle) and he told me that his new website was going to have bike interviews with "amature pornstars and cult musicians". Can't wait!

LOL...

Giant making a lugged track frame? Come on...

:rolleyes:

just got home early from my roundtrip bike tour to manitoulin island... made it so far as to circle the island and back to tobermory, before i realized we had slept in an enormous patch of poison ivy the night before, and now i was being eaten alive. called it in, boyfriend came to pick me up... feeling pretty depressed right now for not finishing. in total, covered about 500km over 5 days. but. now i am going to climb hills like a monster.

Oops, didn't notice that he said it was lugged, I guess I didn't get a close enough look at it. It was a really similar colour to the army-green bowery that I have seen around.

canice, I wouldn't feel too bad, a metric century every day for 5 days is very impressive. What type of bike were you on?

trek 1000. borrowed, no less. thank god for triples. before the trip i was actually considering jerry-rigging my current ride (urbanite) into an 8-speed.

Yeah that's Emery's bike. She's a courier. Super nice girl and she can haul ass too. She's at QMS so she used to work with Toby.

she goes to ryerson. i flyer for the campus bike club and always hit hers. used to have a pink frame instead, i think i liked that a lot better.

Like Jet Sanchez says, I wouldn't feel too bad about it. Having to duck out due to forces beyond your control is a bummer but you know that you did the 5 days as planned so the next 3 probably wouldn't have killed you.

I totally thought you were doing it fixed...

Ah the newly reaquired front wheel that got ripped off. How does one really think they can get away with a pink deep-v?

...then you wouldn't believe how often that term gets used in describing music. :)


I wish I was doing a longish tour/ride. I'd even like to do a lightweight overnighter some time.. anyone? anyone? bueller?

i'm crazy, not insane...

i would be up for doing a weekender tour, maybe even on a fixed.

Rob and I have been talking about doing Niagara Falls fixed this summer - just shy of 200k one way... We'll see, though, after about 50k my legs and lungs are fine but my ass is another story...

I thought Niagara was ~100mi? Or is this a significantly different route?
