So'd you and Derek get dumped on? I made it as far as Davenport before mother nature dropped trau.

I got a bit of a sprinkle on, but that's just fine with me after sweating it out all day. I missed the "real" rain I'd say. It's only a 10-15min ride home for me :)

Those pinheads are good for securing stuff - if you have QR axles.

The "key" is a problem, it's about 1-1.5" long so you'll have a **** hard time getting any sort of reasonable clamping force if you don't have vert dropouts.

Seats, cranks and bars can still be stolen with both systems. And pedals. Basically if you lock your bike anywhere you're taking a chance either way.

No rain for me today, hopped on the go train.... went past a bunch of stuff that was heavily t-storming, got up to the hill and it was perfectly dry up here. woopee!

yeah yeah, i know. what can i say? i like bullhorns. when i get another bike i can keep the marinoni "track specific" and appease your purity specifications, dan.

speaking of track specific, anybody planning a trip to london anytime soon?

I've had a couple of 28 non Kevlars and bought these two 23 kevlar ultra sports, the 28s were fine (I'd be running the first still had it not been torn by a blowout from overinflation) - the other 23 I put on my buddies bike and haven't heard anything, so it could be just this one for me. *shrug*

Re: pitlocks, interesting - I'd not heard of anything like that before. Novel, but not something I'm interested in so much.

Just got back from Wal-Mart at the AIM and endured a good portion of the initial downpour walking over there (I was picking up a mecha-size pack of ***** tickets so knew it'd be tricksy biking that without a trailer). Ended up cabbing it back as it was still coming down, ah well.

I think it's time to get another pair of sit'n'spins

Edit: Anyone have leads on TDF stage torrents?

did you shart'n'split?

FWIW, mine are wearing out too ... the chrome ones are made a little better, but the material is heavier and they tend to end lower than they should, which is a problem for anyone with bottle cages, as the ends of the manpri's catch the WB cage.

hate to sound like a mooch, but would anyone in/around the downtown core happen to have an old/spare 1" threaded stem kicking around that they can loan me til the weekend? i managed to warp mine last nite and i finished the job by completely mangling it today in attempts to fix it.

I do. Yours until whenever.

What's La Cicicletta? is it like La Bicicletta but a bigger cup size? if so i'm in!

first ride on a bike in 2 months... it kicked ass (even the little rain wasn't too bad... till i went through a stream and my feet went underwater...)


i was out of breath just cruising home tonight, i feel sooo out of shape its not cool.

On the bright side of things i will have my misfit on sunday *big smile* and i have enough money to replace my stolen Ipod *another big smile*


[Edit spelling, running on 30 hours of no sleep]

Don ride next week?

The rain was awesome.. From the cosy couch of my friend..

rock on, thanks..

habby b-day btw!

gotta meet up with a bud right after work, so i'll PM you once i'm done to figure out a time and place (tomorrow perhaps?)

I've got one of those coming soon too.

I'm off to Newfieland until next week. Don't miss me too much.

Happy Birthday Pyze!

Good trip, Wes.

Welcome back Stuart!

Thanks to all, yes it is my birthday. Bought myself a new frame as a present to me with some b-day cash I received:D. Going to become the summer bike and in the winter the beater shall be reactivated.

What did you get?

happy bday pyze...ya whats the new frame? spill it!:D

Ditto ...

Krusty... so nice you meet you. Thank-you so much, you rock!

Nothing fancy. Lots of stickers for Rob.

Probably going to get a headset, fork and crank as well. Free shipping in the U.S. to my friends in Buffalo, prices are too good to pass up.

My ipod died and I'm having to work without distractions. I went to Pandora but it seems to be down with engineering issues. Any other sites like that I can use to distract myself from the thoughts of "boy it's a nice day for a ride..."

Can't wait to see it built up!

Speaking of built up.... Just got these pics put up on flickr. All I need now is a clamp-on cross type lever. Anyone want to go halfzies on a set of nice cross style levers?

YES!

yes to don ride :D (you'll have to take it easy on me though)




Nerdsgirth: what no gold/silver deepv combo? looks awesome

happy birthday pyze



cant wait for night ride today *loves being back on his bike.... more then a fat kid loves chocolate... or a model loves bulimia*

What size do you need? I have a couple spares I can check sizes on tonight. Both are black.

Nice, Pyze :) Are you going SS 'cross with that?

Happy Birthday, Chris!

[QUOTE=nerdsgirth;7029093]Nice build, fella! IMHO a fork with a little less rake would be nice (not like you asked, ha!) but it's a solid / classy lookin' bicycle.

[QUOTE=MattRennick;7029691]Thanks, Oh yeah no doubt. Don't think I haven't been looking. If anyone has any thoughts I'd love to hear. Steel noni track? -pretty hard to get these days though now that it's all carbon.
