Yeah, there has been a lot of posting on CL lately geared (lol) towards the fixed/track crowd but all of it has been overpriced junk. Where are all those great deals I used to see? That $300 Gardin track bike that I missed by minutes back in September is the last one I can think of.....

operator 02-02-08 02:58 PM

I think it's safe to say, there are no good deals on bike stuff on CL toronto.

Also: I didn't think it was possible, but there's too much red on that Fetish bike. +stem and track drops lulz

Like anything, you just need to keep your eyes peeled. That Brompton T for $1000, although not cheap, is a pretty good deal for the touring version. And then there were the hokey spokes...

Nadir just came back from visiting Ernesto and giving the final O.K. on graphics. I have not yet talked to him but I will go out on a ledge and say they will start shipping 2-3rd week of Feb.

I was supposed to have a surgery. It didn't happen. It was through roof on the "WTF Just Happened?!" scale. If you really want to know what happened, feel free to ask in a less public forum. Otherwise, I'm fine and would rather not dwell on the issue.

shapelike 02-02-08 11:55 PM

The bars were cut down 1.5" each side after the fitting session with the customer. We originally spec'd the bike with proper townie bars but the customer gets what the customer wants (I would have rocked a front rack on this bike fo'sho).

Ahh now I remember why having a winter beater is good. I just cleaned and tuned up my bikes on thursday and I don't want to have to just redo it again. Also, I need rollers. I may just pony up and get some new ones, Craigslist hasn't been very fruitful.

hahahaha for ****s and giggles i found some red fuzzy dice and put them on my bike (its fugly, so it actually made it look "different" rather then "huck it in the trash compactor")

pyze-guy 02-03-08 10:15 PM

A size too small, crap.

I was at Dukes the other day and they have some pretty good sale prices on their shoes. All of the Time carbon soled road shoes were on sale and seemed to be in the neighbourhood of $125 or so. Other shoes were on sale too, lots of Specialized ones with carbon soles were in that same neighbourhood.

thanks man. I was at my place bloor/dovercourt area. ****er went inside my building somehow,i had it drying off outside my door in the hallway. It was only out there like 1/2 hour, and it was inside the building, and it's just a big ass house, so there are only like 4 other tennants who live here. Some idiot left the exterior door open and the guy walked right in. Hopefully it will turn up, i really don't want to shell out another 7bills for a new track.
If anyone has any idea's of where they might try to sell it, that would help.

**** that blows. I'll let the mechs know if someone is dumb enough to bring it in to get serviced. Anything really distinguishing about the bike?

Flimflam 02-04-08 07:32 AM

Damn that sucks ass, I'll keep eyes peeled for that - I'm frequently riding past that area on Bloor. Good luck.

Lovely looking Motobecane there Mike, she's a real beaut. Glad to hear you're OK despite apparent craziness!

$100 says it was someone visiting one of your neighbors in the building.
