Excellente.

This bike would be so nice if not for the sloping top tube. :(

For the shop people, does anyone sell schwalbe tires? I want to get these tires, 26", or a comparable tire, again for 26" rims.

I just took my frame a couple of weeks back to get powdercoated and am now overdue to get it back. I guess that isn't very helpful. :(

i got some schwalbes from urbane not to long ago.

You're a schwalbe.

I'mma cut you.

!!!

Dem fighting words

I might be taking one in. I need an opinion from Maelcum first as I'll need some framework done.

Where to buy downtown: earbuds

wow...that frame is dope!!!!!!!

Live video of the Tour... versus link on right

Road ride around noon anyone?

Also, what's islington like north of the 407? Is there any nice riding up around the kortright center? I'm getting tired of the same old rides. Who's got some suggestions for fun rides?

Scenery>traffic. Preferably 100kms or so.

Heads up for anyone buying MEC tubes... I'd never had a problem before today but I just pulled one off my shelf and the valve was only 28mm long which isn't long enough to get through my moderate profiled wheels, much less them fancy deep-vees you guys are running. So check em before you buy em!

Looks like I'm on the patch kit today since that was my last new one! :mad:

Thanks for the link - wild finish.

Thanks for the heads up. Although, I'm pretty sure that MEC only started carrying the longer stemmed tubes - both Conti & their own brand... But I could be wrong, I often am. :)

I don't bother with the conti's at twice the price! I'm pretty sure I bought those ones in the spring...

Network weirdness.... I missed it. To the replay tonight on TV!!!!

thank dog Kona changed the paint job on their cross lineup.. This actually looks good!

Although the Major Jake in the background doesn't have carbon seat stays, unlike the 2k7 model. the drivetrain components are perfectly obscured, but I assume those must make the difference (currently they're both 105) for 2k8. Unless the frame material is just something higher than Easton Ultralite.

They finally got my black handlebar tape in at ProBikeKit. I'm using it on my Devinci and it's great, plus it's only 3.39! Sweet tape! So I'll be buying a few rolls, and one in white, but since there's now $10 shipping, if anyone else wants to get in on my order let me know.

River trail was fun ... what the hell did I end up on, though?

Other side of the bridge/overpass, along the river for a bit more (on the right), through some overgrown singletrack and up some switchbacks along the ridge. Would that be *the* ridge trail?

Yes it would.

So... just finished my first metric of the year. 102.4 in 4:12. Not exactly tdf ready but a fun way to spend the afternoon. (and I bet I drink and smoke way more than those guys do!)

Turns out my quest to get out of the city was for naught, 'cause the most peaceful part of the ride was the humber valley. There was a couple times up north when I could hear just the wind in the grass and the hum of my tires... but for the most part it was cars screaming by at 100 instead of the usual 40 in the city.
