i like it already! are those honjo fenders?

Yep,

- Honjo fenders
- Phil Wood (avec cut out flanges) hubs
- Mafac brakes
- Nitto stem
- townie bars

It should be pretty sweet. It's an old Motobecane that the guy had repainted down in the states (new decals too).

What's your opening time for today, shapelike? That's looking like a sweet sweet ride... Those fenders are nuts. I'm heading east in a bit avec the trailer so could pop in on the way... always like the beaches to train up (and with the trailer+precious load it's one helluva workout!)

10-5pm today. Closed tomorrow and NY day

Mike that Motobecane is lookin' pretty nice. I also enjoyed your baseball analogy.

What are your typical hours? I'll stop by some time.

P.S. YOU'RE a good price

Damnit, why didn't I clean the bike/swap the tires before my nap?! Now the effing sun's gone down and I have to do this ish in the dark.

Wes, you still racing tomorrow? Drive or ride there?

Exxxcellent. I'll gather up some of my INSANELY HUGE DISPOSABLE INCOME* and swing by.

*You guys take post dated cheques? It's cool, you know I'm good for it.

Ride. Just tidied up my bike a bit. Man, I suck at adjusting canti's! It's been too long!

Can I... adjust your brakes for you? **** it's boring.

If you walk Cumberland i think you have to prove your rich before entering.

Got out on the skinny tire bike today did some laps around the hood. First time in a long time! Happy Happy

O really? Very strange, I was in Ottawa the past few days....

Sweep, I should have dropped by for a hello. I was desperately looking to find an excuse to visit the ole stompin grounds.

I am in for track 2!

Heck YA I'm around most weekends so if anyone needs a pit stop on the Montréal or Ottawa route Holla!

I still have my track 1 card I will be back there at some point.

I'd buy the red one if it was 53/4 :/

Good luck with the ride there + race tomorrow guys, I just rode back from the east end slightly inebbriated and pretty well caked solid with good ol' snow. Good times :p :) Bike's even more of a mess than it was before, but I'm over 6000kms now, w00t (new BB in it's short term future, mmhmm).

I believe birthday wishes are in order to Keith too... Hope you have a great day, man and all the best. :beer:

Happy birthday, Keith!

So ... I was just about to head to bed but before that I wanted to check the quality of No Country for Old Men, which had just finished downloading. Needless to say, I kind of got sucked in. What a great movie.

fack....just got in to work...heard this weird bubbling sound...looked all over the office to see what it could be...oh...that would be my back tire...leaking air....found a huge ass piece of glass wedged in the tire. Blood Claaaaaaaaaaaat!

edit: crap no tire levers....arghhhhhhhhh!!!

Let all the air out, then squeeze out the rest of the air (every little bit will help with this). Press the sides of the tires off the sidewalls of the rims and in toward each other. Go all the way around and listen to the sickly/satisfying seal break loose. While you at it, make sure the tire bead drops down into the center groove the rim.

Now you need to really concentrate on starting at one point on the rim, pressing the tire beads hard into the drop of the rim and holding them there as you move away from the spot and further outward along the rim on either side (toward to exact opposite point on the rim). The idea here is to get yourself as much slack as possible so you can pull the tire off the rim on the other side.

PS. If you've got Continental tires save yourself the blood blisters and pick up some new levers on your lunch break.

Anyone want to ride out to East Humber Bay Park with me this morning for the 'cross race? :)

The race starts at 12:30, so I was thinking about leaving at about 11:30.

thanx mike...doh! I got it on but im gonna have to redo...I can see its not sitting properly as i pump up the tire....the lines are all curvy like the tire is not inflated right. I took the stupid tire all the way off...ok so now just deflate and make sure tire is in rim proper then pump up?
