Thanks Keith! Here she is....

I think it's Campy Victory...tho it might be Triomphe. Very pretty bike. They only made one frameset that was nicer...out of Columbus SL. Looks completely original except for the brake levers.

-itis == inflammation?

Also something I recently learned on this topic -- the whole "tryptophan in turkey makes you sleepy" thing is BS.. beef/chicken/pork has just as much (Wikipedia). Gorging yourself on fat/carbs -> sleepy after holiday meals.

Well ok, then...

How about these? https://toronto.craigslist.ca/tor/bik/509537052.html

Those are the same ones I have....albeit a few years older. I love how they are always "nearly new" or "used twice"...more like "I couldn't be bothered to learn how to ride em and now they are taking up needed space under my bed".

Yes, thanks, saw them and in fact emailled them as the guy who I had talked to earlier in fact doesn't live in Richmond Hill but in Port Hope! I guess he wrote down the wrong postal code or something. I hope these ones are still there, I can likely walk to get them.

That's pretty much what the guy who sold mine to me said something along the lines of "one too many early morning crashes - I bought a stationary trainer" and I was like "perfect, stationary trainers are boring!" hahaha

I think i've said this before, but R.H 4TL. If you're carrying something big like that, the viva is the way to go.

I have this set they do a nice job paid 200.00
Yet to pull them out this winter though!

itis == dont use this terminology.

ok ok I'm awake damnit!

I rode into the office today, damn is it cold and I just don't find it fun riding with the fear of wiping out

Today's the day to put the boots to the test. Going to Mississauga.

Well one of the uprights from my clip-on front fender fell off and right into my spokes. Luckily I was walking at the time. Still though ****! What a piece of crap. I think it may be time to resurrect the trusty Hot Wheels Track Fenders.

hehehe.. I'm just lurking in the background is alls:

Went out to Mississauga,(hour plus a bit? didn't time it) I got a cold big toe on my left foot, and was completely dry!! These boots rock.
Rode west to Kipling, grabbed the streetcar, shot down the middle of Greenwood and then thrilled the kids on the toboggan hill with a short hill bomb.

What were you riding?

My Thin Blue Line


Popped out to BurgerKing about .5hr ago, if you got knobbies let some air out.

No fenders?

just a back wrap-around the seat post one
and gortex pants...sloppy but fun ride....kinda cool out there now for some storm riding.

I don;t what it is with me and inclement weather.

I bow to you; FWIW, I was at La Bicicletta, getting my latest fix, when I happened to see Henry was selling knobbies what would fit a frame that maxed out at 700x28c. They're like very skinny cross tyres.

I've been riding my new (to me) rollers and they are fun so far. It is so much easier riding fixed on them though, it just seems more natural. And wow, does my cadence ever suck! Plus, I am so used to being in traffic that I never really get a chance to go for 10 minutes non-stop when in the streets, this is a great workout.

I am really looking forward to the crazy tobagganing that every Torontonian will no doubt be partaking in, there is a tonne of snow out there!

a tonne of snow.. pfft. you Ontario lightweights.

vittoria makes a 700x27 cross tire (that measures more like a 25) that is incredibly strong and rolls nicely for what it is if you're in to that sort of thing...

I just got in. Andrew I know what you mean. It's a blast riding out there! Woo! You guys are sissies with your cross tires and knobbies. I was on my track bike with 23c's. No problems. Epic skids while seated in the saddle. Riding down Bathurst into a headwind felt like climbing! Good times!
