Engineering students being ******** *******s is universal fact, with small exceptions.

Apparently it is the same with people on the streetcar. Inconsiderate pricks.

No Freeride bike to offer but if anyone is interested in heading up to BlueMountain sometime this month for some end of the season DH lemme know. This is of course assuming they are actually staying open until Oct 8 as promised. Apparently a kid was paralyzed last month and it prompted them to remove all man-made stunts and anything that resulted in "new school airs and gaps".

I heard that he was riding a XC bike. I believe that they are going to be rebuilding when the situation clears up. (quote a military guy riding a downhill bike at Ravenshoe (!?))

Queen's Engineers are also doyoye. Their leather jacket slapping on the road gave grandmas heart attacks.

I was looking for Eyefloater... I was going back through the pages looking for a link...

Man, I know I didn't know Charlie as well as some... but think we should do something that will keep things alive.

More people need to walk/TTC/bike in this city... Does any one have any ideas? Does anyone want to get together to talk about them???

Chrisitian 416.-*918.-*30.-*11

PS. Can Eyefloater pm me (for good things I promise $$)

I picked up a new pair of Shimano MP66 shoes yesterday to replace my 2-year old, shiite-hauled ones. I don't think I've ever replaced a pair of shoes with the same model before. It feels weird.. They feel really "blocky" or something because the soles are still square. Plus my cleats don't contact the ground anymore.

Goddamnit. Really? I bought them at Urbane. That's the only place I've ever seen them before, so I didn't shop around. I already have the cleat dingdongs cut out, so I guess it's too late. Unless I buy a pair at Sweet Pete's and return them to Urbane.

I've had a pretty busy / lazy / good / bad long weekend (I know, it makes total sense, doesn't it?) so I haven't been on the forum much... Hope everyone's doing well!

I thought I'd share some new work that some of you may appreciate:

Nice! That green ink is amazing. I've sketched so many designs with "ride or die" in them as well, but I'm still a complete tattoo virgin. Good song too..

edit: whaaaaaat? You mention Dave Munro in Newfoundland.. That was unexpected. (I grew up in St. John's)

Also: I thought I saw our very own FilipeBarbosa today on my lunch break when a big-ass unicycle turned down Markham St a ways ahead of me. I turned down only to discover it wasn't you, Fil, but someone who knows you. Geoff/Jeff? Bearded dude. That is all.

Thanks dude, I'm very happy with both new pieces.

Yeah! Do you know Dave? I don't know how long you've lived here but he moved out there about 6 years ago now... maybe 7? Holy ****! Time flies!

Umm.. I'm not sure, I think I've met him. Did he live in Montreal before moving to St. John's? Did he work elsewhere in St. John's before Trouble Bound? I moved here in 2000, and yes, time really does fly.

ATTN: Shop dudes.

Do any of you carry Thomson / would you be interested in a trade of sorts?

I got a new stem in the mail today and it's not what I wanted but I'd lose shipping to send it back so I'm wondering if anyone would be interesting in trading for the stem that I actually want.

What I've got:
110mm
Thomson Elite
1 1/8"
26.0 clamp
-10 degree

What I want:
100mm
Thomson Elite
1 1/8"
26.0 clamp
-10 degree

I know it's only 10mm but when you're paying this much for a stem - you want what you want.
Any takers?

Yeah - he worked tattooing out of some salon downtown before opening up Trouble Bound. I forget the name but somehow I think it sounds something like Technotronic. hahaha

YA KID K!

Tectonics, so close. Then yeah, I met the guy a few times. Weird stuff!

Jeff Groves! yeah he is an awsome rider! that kid is super fast if you ever wanna try racing him. he had his bike stolen recently so he is commuting on the monster Coker till we get my spare frame built up for him.

Also: I thought I saw our very own FilipeBarbosa today on my lunch break when a big-ass unicycle turned down Markham St a ways ahead of me. I turned down only to discover it wasn't you, Fil, but someone who knows you. Geoff/Jeff? Bearded dude. That is all.

Am I the only one that disregarded everything Filipe just wrote and sat there giggling at the thought of a man "commuting on a monster cock"? Probably... that's ok.

Is it Friday yet?

Bikes: too many too list

A heads up for the larger members here. I have a 61cm Cannondale road bike in here that I want to let go cheap. It is complete except for wheels, saddle and post. It has a slice carbon fork....105 9speed shifters, ders, cranks, brakes etc.....comes with the matching 9sp cassette. I want to blow it out for $200 if anyone is interested. Figured I would give the good B.F. members a shot before I put it on the C.L. P.M. me if interested.
