I'd check everything over very closely, especially the carbon fork. Check the tubes and bottom bracket for any rust. If its clean, then that seems like a decent price.

its fixed speed biek!

It would have to be in pretty good condition for that price I think. There are a lot of IRO fans out there. There is a steel nishiki in the snowbank in my backyard. My neighbor may give it to your for a song. pm me if interested...

Also check out one of Polly's recycle "Zombie" frames. I have ridden one for 2 years now and think it is pretty good (besides the paintjob). I believe he is selling frame and fork for 300.

Alleycat check point people!!!! Keith says Friday @ 7 at La Carrera.
wooohoooo

There is an older Steve Bauer fixie conversion locked up on Queen /leslie outside the retirement home... it's had a back flat for about a week now. I'm afraid for it. Wondering if somebody knows who's it is? Running a front brake, Alex rims, race blade rear fender.

"fixed speed" is funny. I was gonna make some snide comment but then we also say single speed :)

About Polly... There was a post on CL about somebody finding a stolen bike there :(

Polly's usually pretty careful about that for the most part. He bought my sister in laws bike from the crackhead that stole it and then waited to seee me and told me. He also thought he saw someone else on my bike and made sure he asked as well. It was a twinner.
He may be odd, but hey.. who isn't. I'd not hold it against him, I doubt he makes a gig of hot bikes like some places we know of.

I don't know... He might be well intentioned but he does sell bikes. Buying stolen bikes only encourages more thefts. If I saw a stolen bike I'd call the police. But I guess the police wouldn't come in a split second and engage a pursuit...

so... anybody has scrap MKS pedals? I need to replace the lock nut on one of mine (GR-9) and it's an oddball size.

Dave Zabriskie's moustache kills me.. he looks like Ned Flanders:

Also, ouch: http://www.velonews.com/photo/73475

fer realz... that's gotta slow him down :lol:

busted femur? *gets a little woozy at the thought*

Zabriskie may have now become my favourite rider.

is it bad that when Don't Stop Believin' just came on my ipod's shuffle i subconsciously turned it up?

Journey will not be mocked. Crank it.

Isn't that Robin Williams in another of his hi-larious costumes?

I notice that Gerdeman finished with a broken femur, does that imply he carried on with... or his ride was done due to? Either way, doh!

Fun ride last night, thanks for coming down Wil - I'd been out since about 6:30 so glad it wasn't called as I didn't see the note ;)

Nice to see you too last night Pyze!

Westbound sucks, darn wind - though I'm going to relish it heading East soon - yay for early finishes on long weekends.

+1

Steeeeeeeeeeeeve PERRY!

Man I'm wanting a Chipotle long sleeve

anybody, let alone man, that can sing with that range has my respect!!!

This Friday. Will see you there.

Friday....christ yes!!! *edits previous*
Thanks for that... *smacks forehead*

Ditto.. you know me and my argyle obsession! :D I'd be happy with a set of arm or leg warmers as well. If Felt put out production road frame in the Slipstream colours I'd be really tempted. :P

edit: speaking of Slipstream.. congrats, kids!

last nights ride was fun.
good to be out with a decent sized group.

my quick stop in at the bovine resulted in me hitting last call
and a sore head this morning.

Another awesome photo:

Yes, I am shamelessly running out the clock after finishing up several large projects this week. Huzzah!

Yeah but I know for a fact that these new frames are custom ordered by him.

so glad I get to sleep in a bit tomorrow

Zombie is going to be his house brand he is planning on selling. Like Lubo at Cyclmania, but better and cheaper Polly claims.

Feeling that way too. So Awesome.

No, its a sign of true godlyness.

What size is er it?

Closed Fri and Sun.

Do you still need people for tomorrow night?

Just to play devils advocate....if someone looks respectable and wants a fair price ie: not a $1000 bike for $40....how do you know it is stolen? for the amount of stuiff that goes thru there I think 1 bike in 100 is not unreasonable. He isn't Igor and doesn't buy off shady folk. If you buy and sell used, no matter how dilligent you are, it is inevitable you will end up with something that is hot.

The more folks I get for checkpoints the more abused the racers will be....more checkpoint people=more checkpoints.
