If you come in the back, you get a whiff of the wood from the renos from downstairs. That's probably what it was. Or maybe you just smell like a hamster. www.twohamstersandducttape.com

i didn't notice, but it's worth a look.

Yeah...the old knackered one is here anytime you want to pick it up. Sorry for not dragging the other one with me but you did only pay me for a one piece delivery. ;)
With the old one the spokes are already properly laced, so re-building with a new rim will be somewhat easier. Learning to build yer first wheel with a Deep-V is prolly a good choice. It would be pretty hard to do any real damage if you mess up a little. Having the spokes all pre-stressed will help as well.

Until someone steals your brackets :rolleyes:

Someone stole a couple blinkies from my bike, right outside the shop. Probably the same kids that like to blow my air horn every day as they walk past...

All I know is next time a ball gets kicked into my yard, I'm keepin it.

"oh no you're ball when into old man brad's yard man! if you try jumpin' the fence he'll eat you!"

You're just lucky that Old man Brad isn't as stringent on grammar and contractions as he is on balls kicked into his yard! :p

hahaha awesome entertainment.

Nice job with Lucy, Matt - she's gorgeous (can't freaking wait for my Rob Roy group buy).

+1 for the Superflash, awesome light for the dollar value IMO. I've had it stop working on me once in some serious rainstorm coming down the Niagara Escarpment, otherwise it's been faultless. I bought another soon after :)

I had my MTB taken from my backyard one Sunday afternoon last year, it was locked frame/rear wheel, but not TO anything. Anyway, they dragged it across the street I later found out, and took my saddle (not the seatpost though). I had a saddle bag on the bag with some basic tools/repair kit - get this, they took the tools and kit, all but the patch glue and LEFT the saddle bag on the floor with the bike. WTF?! There are some 'special' people in my old area... special like crackheads, that is.

I'm just super glad I bought an OnGuard lock the week before, as my supercycle piece of crap fell apart on a ride.

For the light I'm loving the double LED turtles, and they were selling extra batteries at the display at MEC. I got two red for the back and will getting some new white ones for the front.

Nice looking ride there Matt!

Catlike Whisper $160 "west end" - http://toronto.craigslist.ca/bik/479565432.html

I know what you mean, I was at the TCU meeting the other night at that place the top of John, came out, was dark, light no workie, complain to wife about how I bought it a month ago and it's burned out (one of those lil red LED models that strap to the side of seatpost with rubber band ya know) I get home, take it off...some nimrod stole the battery while we were in the meeting....

Stole the battery?! Jeez, the effort some people will go through just to be an ass.

they stole the battery but not the light? a conscientious thief? Right now he's at home with his ill-gotten battery, writhing his hands repeating "take what you need, but need what you! mwahahahaha!"

...no?


anyways, i ended up getting one of these for the front and one of these for the back. I didn't know they made a "turbo" turtle.

then i ate an entire gandhi roti in one sit. so bad but so good.

Someone popped the hood to my Honda in the summer and stole my alternator cap. Even if things are locked up, you have to be vigilant in this city. Sucks kinda.

Someone took apart the solar path lights in my neighbors' yard and stole the bulbs the other evening.

so good, but you loose the ability to function as a normal human being

ghandi's = done for the day

a lot of clients at my work are "crack heads", so i hear the other side of the story, but it's still hard for me to reconcile the two perspectives. for example, there's one homeless guy who got run over as a kid so he has a brain injury etc etc, but he kept trying to bring his "friend's" bikes around here... the last one we saw had a kid's seat on it, which really upset me and the other staff. he's been locked up in the don for a few months now.

I've been back to work after a ghandi roti... possible, but expect productivity to go the way of the turd ;)

Island Foods is good times too...

:/

Poor lonely fella. :) Seriously though, as high-larious as the situation is, I figure what someone does to an inanimate object in privacy is their own business. I mean, me and my inflatable sheep have had a lot of good times together. ;)

Speaking of eff'ed up situations... http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/7096814.stm

The batteries on the Frog Knogs are the same as the MEC Turtles (CR2032, replaceable). Ebay them for $1 each, NIB energizers. The Lifu batts that come with the knog/turtles are garbage. But they will last for a bit before dying.

The New York Times had a similar piece recently regarding a 15 year old boy ***** by 3 men in Dubai and the government there is considering locking up the kid because he is now gay: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/11/01/wo...es&oref=slogin

These are depressing stories and I think to myself "Thank god I live in Canada" but then there are stupid things that happen here too, like that confused and non-English speaking man who is tased and dies in Vancouver airport:

I feel that if there hadn't been someone nearby taping the encounter, this story would have gone-by unnoticed. Sucks.

Yeah being a sex offender and humping a piece of steel are two different things. For shame britain, for shame... I mean give me booze (just like this dude) and an oversize seat tube...

And those tasers... they're being used in a preemptive fashion, before signs of real danger. Just like Irak. Very sad.

And I quote, "She needs a lot of stiffness and a lot of strength in the hoop."
