I was going to ride to my friends place in St. Catharines on friday and then back on sat but not sure if i'll ever finish this ****ing c programming assignment in time.

i managed to get 2 flats while running errands at lunch today. 2! luckily one of those errands was to urbane so i could get a new tube. curse you glass ridden streets!

Alright, well I'll see how I feel on Sunday after several days of partying with friends in Ottawa. :D

Edit PSA: apparently "debauchery" which I initially used in place of "partying" has a sexual connotation, which I suspected but wasn't sure about until after I hit submit and THEN looked it up on dictionary.com. :P

alright, last post then i'm going to bed (for the shop rats among us):anyone know if push the envelope is still making their little hip pouches with the lock holster? stoopid me i somehow lost/got rid of mine in last year's spring cleaning and now i can't find them for sale anywhere.

Well I was going to quote it but you changed it too fast. My browser has it cached...!
Weird the Push the Envelope site used too list their accessories but it's a "come back later" message now.

yeah i see photos of the bag on the page but i think it has been that way for a while. they used to sell them at urbane and the last few times i've been in they don't have any. i wanted to pick one up at the bike show but the push people didn't make any for the show!

I could be up for a long ride on sunday to celebrate the end of classes. Undecided what bike I'll ride... I have no idea how good the cyclops is for long distances. Could be a real pain in the ass... chances are my spicer would be more appropriate. Why is life so difficult?

Just ask Reba (push the envelope) nicely to make you another one. I'm sure it could be done.
If you are lucky, you can catch her at Urbane sometimes or just call them up.

So did you skip all your classes this week?

Nope, been to every single one so far... even my art class yesterday when we met up at the gallery and drank champale for 3 hours while eating leftover carrot cake.. what a waste of time. I've got 3500 words of essay to do for tomorrow and I need to go and supervise the gallery from 2-5pm today. Hooray!

Reba's at Urbane today - might be a good time to call.

alright, i'll give them a ringey-ding.

Polly I like the idea of the curved tube as well as long as the drop out can let me mount a screw tire.
Road front end gets my vote. Long skinny feet love touchin' the front wheel.
Good luck to all the students finishing stuff up in the Easter crunch.

Operator: Just ordered some new "tyres" from probikekit. Got 2 rubino pro's and 2 michelin prorace 2.

Me being paranoid, but check your chainring bolts. If this happened suddenly (i.e. bam it's there), I'm not sure chain stretch would explain it.

Hey I'll be in Brockville all weekend only a hour away,showing off our new bundle of joy.
If we get back somewhat early I'd love to get out for a ride
Cheers

Already checked. After my mishap with them a month or so ago it was the first thing I thought of.

yeah, what he said. i've actually had that happen; forgot to mention it.

Oooooooooh. I still haven't gotten my order yet, placed it last, last sunday. Hoping it'll get here soon.
"Tyres" Aha.

And uh, I need a streamripper that will pwn that drm off the cycling.tv broadcasts. WMRecorder won't. :/

P.S Your bike has 4 wheels somnambulant? ;)

My frame is 43 cm c-t with a 50 cm slightly sloped top tube. I'm not sure a women's specific line would be necessary, maybe just some smaller frames. Most adjustments can be made with stem length and such anyway, no? By the way, Paul, it is way neat-o that you're asking us for input.

I always thought that the WSD moniker was kind of bogus.

I'll give you something with a WSD.

p.s. no, but after adding the red rubino's to my cart I saw the light blue prorace's and thought that they would work well for my next colour scheme. ;)

32 flavours, you could give my girlfriend's bike a spin. Its really just too small for her so I have been keeping my eyes out for a new one. Anyways, the frame is a 48 cm (c-t I think) urbanite with a 50 cm top tube in navy blue, Tig welded 4130 cromoly steel. 74cm standover height. let me know if you're interested... or if you have any 54-56 steel road frames lying around:D


Edit: Oh yeah, I took out this lady turning onto hoskin from queen's park crescent today. Traffic was moving really slowly on the bend and I was going by them at a moderate pace. All of a sudden some well-dressed lady with a bright orange coat darted thorugh the space between the moving cars directely in front of where I was going to be in about a half of a second. At this stage I pretty much knew I was going into her as there was curb on one side of me and car on thge other side, so I bust out a polite skid on the wet slippery road and crunch into her real good. She didn't even see me coming, so she hit the ground pretty quick and I landed with a nice soft thump right on top of her. She luckily covered up the puddle with he ass so I didn't get too wet. She gets up with a wet, dirty ass and coat and a scraped looking hand and pretty much disappears into one of the campus buildings after I and a few other people asked if she was alright. Then one of the dudes standing there said "I totally saw that coming for so long... I don't know why I didn't yell something!" and another dude said "Awesome! Nice shot!" and another dude said "That totally wasn't your fault dude" and yet another guy (who kind of looked like Albert from La Carrerra but younger) said "The peds have been acting crazy today!" All in all a fun experience!\

Edit: for those of you with TV is was just like that Moore's men's clothing comercial where the guy gets taken out with a bike but less serious and I landed right on top of her.

Alright i just got my shipment from probikekit. Let me go get it.
Oh and uh, no extra charges on it. So it was $50 shipped for
Look cleats
PC48 chain
Rubino pro
deda bar tape

Shiznaz, that diagram is ghetto fabulous.

Re: the bike frame... I am tempted, but cannot afford a superfluous frame right now. Perhaps if you still have it in a few months...

map completely to scale ... lol!
I just took my cdn tire mtb for a spin. most comfortable ride ever
It had a large red basket on the back as well. And fenders.

I'm surprised that type of collision doesn't happen more often. I've had a number of close calls and am probably due for a full force one myself.

P.S. Forgive my manners for not asking straight away... How's the bike?

hah.. yeah, I take that turn on my way home every day and I've had a few close calls. In fact, I've taken to going around the other side of the turning traffic because I've been nearly squeezed into the curb a few times as cars take their 5km/h "racing line".
