I like malcolm and all...but...it seems a bit presumptuous of someone who doesn't have 25 frames under his belt to be teaching anyone. If you are serious go to UBI ...or Yamaguchi....or someone else with serious experience not only building frames but teaching others how to.

Yeah, I also wouldn't want to ride a frame I built. ;)

Hi. I'm new here.
My name is Dave and I'm an alcoholic.

Hahaha, hi Dave :) (Dave's my buddy with the left side drive ride he brought to sprints last year, the fateful night of the "operator incident" for those who met him).

That Klunkerz movie was really cool - for me, I'd never even seen what the likes of Gary Fisher/Tom Ritchey/Joe Breeze even looked like - a really cool movie about some very recent history.

I didn't catch all of Still We Ride, but what I did see looked purely *nuts* heh.

Nice to see Fuzz and our resident Dr Benway there, was a chilly night to be out - though it was warmer AFTER the screenings than when we arrived before, go figure.

Brad/zippered - you guys heading to CM tonight?

Post-Mass screening @ Bike Pirates anyone? Details:

FEB 29 after Critical Mass, 7-8pm

Hot Chocolate and food for thought are rewarded to anyone that bikes in the heart of the urban jungle. And if you miss the bike ride, come and partake in a screening of Beijing Bicycle!

@ Location:
457 Bathurst
Street:
Bathurst and College

Welcome Dave.

Guys... in your opinion is the slightly steeper angles in a more agressive frame really that noticable?
Have any of you ridden/have both?

this should solve all your problems

youll need a new fork to run brakes tho ;)

i like it - a shame he didn't go with the wide tires though...

ya sweet ride...

I immediately thought of that thing tearing thru the don trails!

who made that? where'd you find that photo?

Clearly someone with way too much time/money on their hands. "Why" is I believe a more appropriate question.

its in the 'Your Fixed Gear/SS Photos! ' thread...

On FGG

nice...wow...that bike is all ti! must be mad lite!

if you could raise the bars and put a brake on it, it would be a very usable bike i think.

It's pretty, but I don't think fixed and mountain bike really go together.

no, but mountain-bike-frame-as-commuter goes together i think.

totally. That one in particular only if you're bringing it in with you!

I wonder how much it weighs?

CM tonight for those who care!

damn that was sexy..
In other news I have to go pick up the passes I'll be back to let you know how many we gots.

My mtb is fixed, or did you mean fixed mtb for trails.

Anyway awesome looking bike, serious saddle to bar drop though. I thought my bike was pretty severe.

yeah, I meant for the trails.

Sexy bike, love the 'urban' look, great non-descript colour. I love how those bars look, but as pyze said - that saddle/bar drop looks a 'tad' aggressive :p For cruising/bombing around that seems cool, personally I don't trail ride much anyway and the thought of a FG in the trails doesn't enthuse me at all (though now I think about it, it's probably pretty sweet, proper ratio assumed)

Possible dumb question here: is there an actual difference between a rear and front road caliper? I'm looking at getting the Shimano BR-5501 caliper for my build, but the front is out of stock, rear is not where I was looking - so it made me wonder what the actual difference is between the two.

Alright, seriously now, where the **** is Spring?

Just around the corner .. In fact the Spring Bike Show is next weekend!!!
What a lead in!

I_Brad, Zippered, FlimFlam, iHerald, Somnobulant are ticketed.
I gots two more

i'd love one if you've got one!

Matt is ticketed. One left.

I'm going to Ottawa next weekend for a friend's baby shower, so I'm likely gonna hit the show on Friday. So, let me know when's a convenient time to pick it up. Or are you gonna drop them all off at Ye Olde Bike Jointe?

Also, while I hope that Spring bike show = Spring weather, I'm trying not to anticipate that actually being reality.

Front caliper bolt is longer (to bolt thru fork, as opposed to smaller brake bridge). Usually, anyway.
