I'll be there, if not, then I won't. Yeah.

i was going to head down around that time. i'm late for everything so don't wait for me, i'll hook up with you guys in line.

i wasn't kidding about the espresso; i'll make some and from there it's BYOTWM (bring your own teeny weeny mugs). i think this will be the earliest i've ever been to the bike show.

I used some web-based simpsons generator thing, yeah.. I can't remember which one though as there's several out there.

Was that around 6:30?

Not going, focusing on getting Wes' bike ready for tomorrow. Wes, check your email and give me a call if you see my special brand of bike swag on "stupidly cheap" sale.

Yep.

cool...nice meeting you...I was d00d in blue jacket with liquigas hat on...

Likewise - I usually ride my pos Giant around town, though - Who was the dude in the glasses with the wild hair?

That was Nestor....encyclopedia of all things cycling. Among his many awesome bicycle achievements is a bike that you pedal forwards to get moving then has a bigger gear that you pedal backwards....some really crazy stuff. Nice to meet you too.
The show was kind of blah. It was funny seeing Dan, Jeremy and Matt swoop in on the only 3 Catlike helmets. Bought a nice Nike wool jersey for $30. My buddy Barry picked up a Steelwool cyclocross bike from Cycle Solutions...then his friend bought the other one they had. They will both be on the 10am line tomorrow. Good times.

what time you heading out tomorrow Keith? Riding or taking the van?

Driving...have to take my extra bike for Johnny to ride.....out to the Beaches to get Emma...then up to Cedarvale. Gonna leave the house at 8

Agreed. I saw you all leaving (I recognized Matt Rennick's and Dr. Benway's bikes), but I didn't say hello because I uhh, well you all kind of intimidated me. Somebody was riding in backward circles and I can't even skid. So I went home. It wasn't a total bust, though – I picked up a Rolls saddle and a CO2 inflator for cheap.

hey i bought one of those nike jerseys as well. whaddya say we wear them and ride a tandem singing "bicycle built for two"... what? i ended up passing on the catlike as i crushed under the weight of my massive cranium - picked up a bell sweep from the same booth though...

My last helmet was a Sweep XC...liked it well enough. Those jerseys for $30 was the best deal there I thought. Who gets to be Captain and who is gonna be the Stoker?

i'll stoke (stoker? i don't even kno-)

yeah that booth had a long sleeve wool jersey there as well but only in women's sizes. it's funny, everyone there was gobbling up the discovery jerseys and the wool remained relitavely untouched.

I gots me a saddle! :)

i gots me a floorpump! where were the women's wool jerseys? :(

thanks for the pass, rennick!
sorry about not getting it in time, keith.

Didn't find any rims, but got some shoes and some Ryder glasses with 3 lenses for $20.

Bit of a bummer there wasn't much more that I wanted, but was fun. Thanks for the pass!

i gots me a saddle too! a selle italia for only $40!! :eek:

no helmet unfortunately, but good deals on booties, undies, and glasses (3 lenses for $20 - you can't go wrong). stood in line forever to pay $1 for grips for my raleigh like i was talking about to some of you. i also gave up and bought the shorts i've been wanting in a size large... they're a tad baggy in the cuff, but oh well.

sorry to have missed y'all at the end.

I got booties. Great ones.

I didn't get the HID light system that I really tried hard to talk tam into buying for me. Looks like it's Active surplus for me!

brad loves a good bootie.

Who doesn't? And I got a pair... extra large too :p

he likes big booties...

Go on, stick 'em out!

I got gloves! ps. keith, that dura headset was $139! -%50.. no dice

I got a sleeping pad!

Oh wait, I accidentally went to the MEC sidewalk sale instead of the bike show. Oops!
