Holy &&@^@#@# this is a HUGE thread.

anyways. here is my first post.

bikforums.net toronto fixed +1

check with curbside, last time i was there they had some sugino stuff

worst case you can order that bb online for around $30+shipping

Welcome Bonfire. You from T-Dot as well?
Yes this is THE GIANT THREAD!!! The one your parents warned you about. Don't pull this thread or the whole of the 'net will unravel. Read from pg1... there will be a quiz.

YO, who's got dem roller bands. I will buy!!! Mike keep that other one on order, can't have enough 4ft rubber bands.
Zippered, did you get that image thing sorted?

from what i understand, this is accurate. it is a fast ride with different groups splintering off, but for the most part it is an everyone for themselves roadie-scum fest. and yes it goes on year round..

Be a pal and RGB1998 that ish for her, would ya? God knows what profile her image has on it right now.

Thanks for all the veggie suggestions guys, my friend and I ended up going to Fresh. I hadn't been there since the autumn and I forgot how much I love the baby warrior with some sweet potato fries on the side. Damn good eatin'!

word!

man im way too outta shape to do the donut! hahahahahaha...I could ride to a donut shop eat a donut and ride home...sweeeeeeeeeeeet...but keeping up with roadies on my fixed for 100kms?

i hear that. we should start a ride called the "bakers' dozen" whereby we simply eat doughnuts in a parking lot....while leaning on our top tubes of course.

yes yes or maybe even a 'tour de donuts' ? where we just go and tour all the different donut shops...mmmmmmmmmmmm...I call dibs on that boston cream...

keep your boston cream; i'm a crueller man. any bike ride that laughs in the face of fitness is fine by me.

I don't think I can make the donut ride, would love to but I'm sick and my wheelset needs a true+tension. I'd love to get out there and do that a few times this year though... Sundays weather looks remarkable.

Bike trip to Guatamala sounds *really* cool, and for $500 that's a neat deal fo sho - do you pack + fly your bike down, or is it a bus + trailer kinda deal? My only concern would be breakdown/component failure. I'll have to see if I can square some beer tokens away, sounds like a great experience.

Speaking of bike stuff - anyone participating in the CMWC? Anyone competing? I'm thinking of signing up for a laugh.

Also: I ordered the Bootleg Sessions DVD today too, woo.

erm... no... you no get my email? see, this is why i need (techie) help!

I have no mail from you.
andrew.amills@gmail.com depends on how big your image is, it might be too big.
As it is you can't add resolution, that is a pointless exercise. An 11x17 at 300 is a 50meg file in Photoshop, JPEG compression will bring it down but not to any emailable size.

If you have a good multimega pixel image from a camera I think it would good for printing I just don't know how many mega pixels are required for a good print that large. Wes, Mike any thoughts photoboys?

must have bounced then; i sent 4 files @ ~1.5MB each.

the files are jpg's from a camera, that will be printed on 11x17 poster paper. she said "300 dpi resolution", which i thought was a image adjustment in photoshop (which i no longer have access to). i figured the files would have to be transfered one by one.

hopefully it's not too late

in the interest of keeping the conversation going, i would like to say that i like glazed, chocolate glazed, or those little donut hole/tidbit things and that although today feels mild compared to yesterday, i too would love a lazy sunday ride if it's going to be +7!

This coming from Mr Randonneur and hairshirt veteran. Am I gonna have to whip you back into shape?

i think my favorite donuts are the sour cream glazed, my grandma used to feed them to her cat

my second favorite is all other donuts

Oh, whip me, whip me!!!

Donuts are good, perhaps I should be adding them to my lessons for the new year.

Anyways, tomorrow I'm going to get some coffee and a donut before hitting the spit for a ride around. 9:30 is good for me. I'm thinking ideal for the coffee. Any other ideas or suggestions.

hmmm I should have gotten those ... did they clear your email? Maybe one at a time? Gmail should allow for 10-20m attachments though....odd

edit: sunday plans

guh?

hi

whut?

edit: I would like to say that I drafted something shapelike from Broadview all the way until it went north on Church (or was it Jarvis). He could not hear me; newly greased bearings and a clean drive train +1. Thanks for the draft, buddy

indeed!

anyone know what shipping for a wheelset tends to be from the US?
