Pretty cool. Same price as the regular SPD-SL's. Nice meetin last nigih guys.

Keith: Two questions:

1) Do you true carbon Hed rims? If so, does the tubular tire need to come off?

2) Do you still have that 61cm bike you mentioned on here a few days ago? if so, I'll take it!

Yes...no...and yes.

I recorded my first "crash" today, sorry not to include you Wes ;)

The front wheel was turned way out, I clipped it going slow enough that it stopped me dead.

Well, I did it. I ordered a Kona Paddy Wagon yesterday from Cycle Solutions, which had the lowest deposit amount of the stores I contacted. It should come in next week.

Some of you may remember me from a couple of months ago asking about Toronto ISPs. Since then, I have moved to the city and started courses at York. My ambitious plan to cycle to school each day probably won't actually happen (it's 18km one-way) but that's not to say I won't try it once the Paddy Wagon comes in. It's a 60cm 2008 model with the new gray color. I'm REALLY excited. Before it arrives I need to purchase a lock (I'm thinking Kryptonite EV-2000 mini?), a bell, and pedals. Probably I'll do straps because clipless isn't quite in the budget yet. What's a good store to buy these things? I can't afford to get gouged.

That being said -- what's not great about this bike? I've seen people sing its praises in other threads, but I know that it's a starter package. When I can afford to upgrade, on what should I put priority? Thanks for any input.

I also just moved here for school. I'm waiting for my tools to show up in the mail so I can put my bikes back together. Does anyone know where to find (or trade) used parts in this city? This really is the land of old ten speeds and I think that's awesome.

Do it. I did 30km to UT one way my first year. I know darkmother bikes up from bayview/eglinton to York campus. And he does it rain or shine.

Parts unknown in kensington. On west side of Augusta, behind a white picket fence, south of nassau, north of baldwin. It's a garage shed.

Locks you're going to have to go local. Bell, any store. Pedals, depends what pedals. PM me. Pay the $5 and get a membership at MEC.

not a whole lot wrong with the paddy wagon off the shelf as far as i can see. in fact, quite a lot better than most stock track bikes IMO.

Wheels: Sweet, I'll bring them in.

Bike: Sweet, I'll take it!

Feel free to PM me regarding trades, I have way too much clutter in my apartment and there is soon to be more as I am likely purchasing another bike I don't need this week.

I think out of the group you have the most bikes? Could be wrong though.

$10 shipping!

damn it I hate being broke!!!

Sure as hell is tempting though...

That is so classic. I totally feel like it was me.

oh, and if you guys can find it in the kindness of your hearts to fix up all manner of supercycles and broken rusty cruisers, ryerson bike club needs volunteer wrenches from 11-3pm on wednesday, sept 12. we are going to set up shop outside the student centre to fix whatever needs fixing. most of it will probably be chain cleaning/lubing, brake adjusting, pumping air, etc... really easy stuff.

if you're interested, umm. just come by anytime during that period. 55 gould st. first street north of dundas, east side of yonge.

Nasty.. that one needed a "not safe for breakfast" :eek:

+1

Good thing his buddy kept filming rather than give the guy a kleenex. "Don't stop the bleeding dude.....this is great footage!"

Really? I only have 5, I thought some of you guys had like 10, no? I just talked myself out of another bike as 6 would be bordering on ridiculous. I really am pissed that I missed out on that Rossin track bike that was on CL a couple of weeks ago, I just couldn't get up to Bolton before he sold it. Did anyone here pick it up? I bet it is a great ride.

He failed.

"oh my gad"

Ooops... I didn't hear one person mention going to the ER... wtf? heh

You missa the transition you smasha your face....
