Thanks for the warning. Looks like i'll take transit down instead.

Red is fastest, everywhere.

Although I am not TJ, I clicked on the link ;). Does anyone know what the shipping would be to Canada?

Similarly, never having bought just a frame, what else would I need to buy?

I'm calling him....

Yeah i decided i'm taking TTC today. But i would have probably done it anyway since i am also playing squash and don't want to bring tons of clothes with me, or get too tired.

Queen/King was awesome

Do you need a new one, Erin? I've got a couple 1 1/8" star nuts at home if you need...

Roads were fine when I was out at 8:30am. Damp, but not slippery.

...and what's that for Wes? The geometry is insane on the Fetish...seemingly beyond the norm for race ready frames. I'm all be for being upfront on a bike but....eek?

Geometry is wack. Well over 4 pounds for an alu frame is a tad high. It has an integrated headset. My experiences with them as a company have sucked ***** in the past. The red is hideous. $499.99 regular price? rip-off. I guess you could do worse for $199.99..that is the best thing I have to say about that frame.

i don't mind the 73 degree angles in my size but 75 for smaller sizes? it'd be like riding half a chair with wheels.

**** - i just heard on cbc radio that jeff healey died. i didn't even know he was sick...

Yeah, retinoblastoma which is what blinded him in the first place. Very sad.

wes - anther frame? what are you buying?

What a Canadian legend! I have had 'angel eyes' in my head since last night.

TJ where did you get your AXIO laptop case? Had them here: http://www.academicsuperstore.com/ma...gory_id=264528 for cheap, but can't seem to find them now. I need some serious protection for it. I have been rolling the dice with the neoprene.

OK Fetish is off the list... too insane a set of angles... face plant city , twitchy.
Back to reality...*sigh* 200 bones sure would have been sweet.

I got mine up at CPUsed.

RIP J.H. You had rockin' shows.

My fork and I just got back to my desk with a new star nut. Thanks all for the quick insight and help! It's shaping up into a lovely day on all counts.

Also Matt, I have the fixings for 110 rear spaced wheelset for the class, so let any other attendees know, I too have a spare wheel to build should anyone need it.

Just got back from a little lunchtime spin. Get outside and enjoy it while it lasts, kids!

ok tease boy.. what is it?

hahhahah.. "the pull": http://www.flickr.com/photos/bicigirl/2225592188/

nice shot

:lol: Bastid.. *sees IHS* loses interest. jk'n

Very clever - even naming the image hint2.jpg...

looks like a bianchi ;)

hahah.. yeah, I've talked about it in the thread before. I'm just being a wiener. :P

So, it looks like I'm probably not heading to Ottawa this weekend now. What time is everyone planning on going to the bike show?

I'm going friday afternoon.

Ha! I thought so... but I checked the Bianchi site and didn't see any ss cross frames on there... Nevermind... found it! Roooooooooger!

Sat. I'm huntin' me some Rocky Mountain Rep, and a flip/flop hub/wheel set for the Paké.

Nice - I've always been happy with my Rocky Mountain... I mean, I haven't ridden it a lot lately but it being my first "good" bike I'll always have a soft spot for it... If only the graphics weren't so ridiculous. ;)
