Just make sure the mace doesn't get jammed into the sheet metal and pull you off your steed! Thanks but it's all Keith's doin'. I threw some used stuff at him and he tossed bits on it... et viola. Mike's old Paké frame...The left crank arm is a Peugeot one, the hunt begins. Mavic MA3 in back MA40 in front both with Campy hubs...both used one from Cavit8 and Offhoff, Rubino's, Fi'zi:k Aliante Sport saddle wt Ti rails, Outland bars, Tektro levers, SNG brakes. Been a long time since I had a speedy ride.

The two are not one in the same.

I don't think that "no one should drive" because that's not realistic but I do think that people should drive responsibly and given that there are direct consequences of other people's irresponsibility for everyone else (especially for those who are dying for that scumbag's excess) then I don't really have a problem with someone else putting them in check. Sorry, I just don't.


By your logic - why not blow up General Motors? Get evil at it's source.

To be clear - this is not "my logic" in the sense that I don't go around blowing anything up or smashing anyone's cars... What I'm saying is that I understand why someone would want to smash a Hummer or, as you suggest, blow up General Motors.

I just heard on the news that Mayor David Miller is closing down the Don Mills Subway line (which was just finished a few years ago) along with other bus lines....get ready to see a whole lot more Hummers on the road

What stuns me that you are okay someone else doing it. This guy didn't deserve to be kept "in check". It's like saying your understand how a woman wearing revelaing clothing deserved **** as she's made some pervert scum bag horny.

I'm not fan of the hummer either, or the drivers of said vehicles, I loathe them, but at the end of they day trashing his vehicle is wrong. There are no just deserts here. These punks who trashed it probably don't even ride bikes rather their mothers lexus but we won't find out for sure until they are apprehended by the fuzz.

Well at least we might have a casino to look forward to...:(

Yes. I've done some dirty slides in them with only minor resultant scuffage. Fit is impeccable, pockets where I want 'em and home grown. I'd likely buy a pair again (I've actually toyed with the idea of a second pair).

I have a pair of cutoff Chlorophylle mountain pants that I've had longer, but they show the wear much more than my UTW's. The Chlorophylles are pretty rock solid and have lasted longer than any of my makeshift shants, but they're really on their last legs.

Is that the Shepard line that Mel Lastman created even though there wasn't a need for it? Or am I thinking of something else?

TJ, what frame is that? It looks very nice, is it lugged?

I thought the top 4 from Global Gutz were going, is that incorrect?

i got mine on sale at sweet pete's; some of the stitching is coming loose on the pockets and on the flaps. fit was a bit funny too as i mentioned - the XL has super baggy legs but about a 33" waist. the current version may have seen improvements. i'd feel good about shelling out for a new pair, they're pricey but pretty versatile.

I would be hard pressed to find any reasonable connection between smashing a car because it is excessive and as such has a direct negative impact on the environment, human health, the people who have to fight wars to keep it on the road and the villagers who have to die when the oil companies decide they want the land and a woman being ***** for wearing a short skirt. I'm not trying to be a dick but I just think it's kind of an insane comparison.

In any case, I think I've unwittingly implied that I care a lot more about this issue than I actually do. I don't care to argue for or against the smashing of vehicles - like I said - it's not something I would do but I understand why someone would do it. It's the theory I support far more than the action.

Peace out!

yea, and it is pretty useless now, but the city just got millions of dollars from the province of ontario with promises of extending the subway line into scarboro and to york university. Plans of discontinued service also include a fare hike....i know this doesnt effect many people on here, as well as myself, but this city seems to be going right in the ****ter these days. Just venting.

A useles billion dollar line that goes nowhere. A waste of money then that has quickly come back to bite us all in the ass.

Miller is an idiot, as are his acolytes at City Hall. Totally corrupted by power, deaf and blind to the people that foolishly put them in power. He has no idea how the real world works, throws around money the city doesn't have on wastefull ventures (landfill and Theatre Passe Murille amongst others) and tries to stop viable projects that would increase business and capital investment (Island Airport bridge/expansion). And then as soon as his tax grab to screw the comman folk more is rejected, outcomes the fear mongering about killing TTC routes, fare hikes and cuts to services, reducing the number of police etc. Basically we get screwed either way without dinner or even alittle foreplay.

Aside from that, how do I get sealed bearings out of a hub?

Coolio, post 28082, or 28082 backwards.
