Also you only get to use the colours on the wall they have in the front of the office, anything else is extra I believe. Turnaround time was exactly 1 week.

...not to mention that MS-13 is a Salvadorian gang. But I think you have to get the 13 in the middle of your forehead.
Thanks for putting in that order Cavit8. The ride home this aft was WET!

So ... the Tosca's headset was pretty corroded and when it got pulled off the fork crown it took a nice chunk of the steerer tube with it. Now the headset's ****ed and the steerer tube needs the corroded spots filled in. My bike is out of commission for the next while and it's disturbingly upsetting.

PS. Crackheads stole half our change and bled all over my George Hincapie poster. ****ers.

Crackheads I’ve seen a few spare changers but no crackheads in our time living there, but guess times are a changing. Not as bad as the last encounter (stolen bike) so crazy that was.

i've been scouring craigs list and i found this https://toronto.craigslist.org/bik/365655999.html which is sort of interesting. the no name frame sounds sketchy but its has sugino (75? i cant quite make it out) cranks and a miche rear hub which are nice. mavic MA2's are really cheap though right? i dont think its worth 600 but id like your guys opinions.
