That roller guy is great. But he's totally a showoff. This guy on the other hand is a class act and a legend to boot. Damn that is a smooooth uber high cadence!!!!

Looks like ma nature's givin' us the bird this eve. Low of 0C, rain, snow and hail. That said, I don't think we'll be out tonight unless a miracle happens tout de suite! I will instead stay indoors and watch the bonus features of MASH and contemplate the ratio of ego-wank/hyper-tricksterism.

I love you

The bike doesn't even need the seatstays....it is strong enough without them. UCI regulations require them.

So the internet is now cut off at the shop and I now know how much freakin time I spent lookin at B.F. while at work. My posts will be increasingly redundant until I learn to scan through em before posting....please bear with me.

Congrats on the gig Dan....and soon enough you will be riding a Cervelo like all the other "poor" folks who work there. "oh...crap..this one has a scratch on it....guess I will take it home".

Dave....I will be in the shop all day tomorrow so stop by whenever.

I have tons of cheap new wheels left if anyone needs any for winter/beater bike duty....mostly Mtn but a few hybrid as well....did I mention they were cheeeeeeeep?

Does anyone know if I can hook up my older lcd monitor to my USB only MAC? It has the pin type connection and I figured I could get a pin to USB cable and all is good?

In other news I am the proud owner of a Futura Colnago. It will look very nice encased in wood and glass, hanging on my wall.

If you do decide to take Bathurst, it's single lane action for a stretch north of Lawrence which is no fun at all at all. Especially today.

There is a bike lane on Jane north of Bloor, how far up does that bike lane go?

Save a set of mtb wheels for me.

Keith,
1) when are you closing your doors for good?
2) how late are you open weeknights?
3) are you acepting bike projects like setting up installing deraileurs, shiftercables, brakes etc,?

If your LCD has these connectors:

The then you should be able to hook up your old LCD monitor (will need an adapter if the one on your mac does not match the one on your LCD exactly).

If your monitor only has this connection (dsub):

You must have (dvi-i | dvi-a) on your mac to connect it (will also require an adapter). I got a spare dvi-i -> dsub adapter if you need.

No man, they are speedholes!

yes the ol' sanitation certificate. remember not to leave food in the "danger zone!" (4-60 celsius). Danger! Zone!

no more than 1 KM :( and then it becomes madness.

Highway to the Danger Zone?

Cool and the gang. Thanks Rob.

I forgot to mention that another non-arterial route is to take caledonia from davenport all the way to lawrence then west to keele, etc. never any traffic on there and some nice rollers. just a thought....

1) Next Friday.
2) I am usually around till at least 6...I would suggest to call me before you head down.
3) Still set-up to do minor stuff like this.....right till the end.
4) YAY!

why is it people in scarborough dont know what a bike is?? Total idiots buzzng me and cutting me off as soon as i passed VP and Danforth...total wackness

Am I the only one that noticed this???

Is that arrows or dots?

Same thing going north once you're past, say, Eglinton. North of Lawrence, forget about it.

Great great deal on a set of road wheels; I have these on my Roubaix and they are very nice and $70 is a really low price.

Phil- there's Weston too. If you're not in a hurry you could take the humber trail as far as Steeles and then go from there. Anything north of the 401 pretty much sucks by bike in my experience.

Lordfoo: how'd you get a valid product key?

P.S Dura-ace high flange track hub with lockring + track nuts = 315.8g.

I always say i wont get pissed but damn...its not like its a new phenomenon...ok i stop ranting...it no help

ya ibrad talked to K bout that already...hot damn colnago goodness! one of a kind colnago goodnes yarghhhhh!!

Alright, I picked up an older Miele frame from a shop by Christie and Dupont. The frame has a bit of rust around the headtube and BB shell, but for $50, it was a good deal. I need to know how I should proceed with removing the rust - the guy at the shop said 120 sand paper with a steel wool brush - but I thought I'd ask you guys. After removing the rust, priming and painting, the next move is to get a headset and fork. Operator, I'm looking at Urbane to find a 1" threadless headset and 1" fork.

which one is it? lookmanohands isn't up anymore as far as I can tell.

Why not just go threaded? It'll be a lot cheaper, and easier to find a fork.

Any big drawbacks to threaded? Urbane seems to have some 1" cromo forks. I would have taken the fork that was on the Miele, but the stem was cut and stuck in the steerer tube for some reason. Didn't want to put the guy through any trouble for $50. The headset was completely shot, and had to be removed.

Ditto, it just got tossed out there and I spent the next 30 seconds picking my jaw off the floor.

Was this some sort of lifetime achievement award for various bike-related adventures or ... ?

I can't think of any drawbacks to threaded. You could grab a fork from George for way less than a new one would cost.

Ballpark ~ $100 total for headset + fork. If you're not deadset on going this route, you can stick with the threaded fork (unless your bike didn't come with one) and grab a new headset. We gots Tange $10-$20 or more expensive shimano cartridges up to 105 level in stock.

If you have the original fork you may or may not have enough threading on the fork to accomadate the newer cartridge headsets. Bring in frame/fork unless you can write up all the measurements.
