Tickets are here, awaiting pickup!

Thanks TJ!

Damn, son. That's not bad at all.

w00t! I'll be by as soon as I can to take a look and possibly get my haggle on.

My first "good" bike I still ride every day! L'il hauler. This will be the 17th season for it

Mine was a yellow Bianchi MTB in the 80's. Then upgraded it when the first straight fork came out.
My pleasure Brad.

i believe my first good bike was a specialized rockhopper with stx. it was too small, but i wish i still had it.

My memorable bikes were a fixed solid-wheeled bike which was my first, then I had a Raleigh Mag Burner, a couple of girl-style cruisers (internal 3 speed hubs) and then later a Raleigh 10-speed road bike as a youngun, then went to an X-mart MTB when I was around 15 that lasted me through 'til I left the UK and I left it there.

I think by definition, the Raleigh bikes were fairly decent, but I've yet to really have a 'good' bike. If it wasn't for the perma-frame damage, my Centurion would be reasonable but until my IRO is built I'm in klunker-ville.

So, Wes, you wanna post up teaser pictures? Take THIS!

*cough* Panasonic LX2 *cough*

hahaha, i know... i could have been a little less obvious.

I still have the first real bike that I ever bought, a 1988 GT Karakoram. Before that, I had a Talisman (a long defunct Canuck brand) that I bought from Broadway cycle up at Bloor/Dufferin. I had a coupon from a Toronto cycling mag that gave me $50 off of the Talisman but the owner wouldn't honour it until I practically screamed bloody murder in front of his store. Heheh, what a bastid.

Here is the GT as it looks now, great snow bike:

Nice. I was eyeing all those panasonic/leica cameras when I bought my P&S. Did you pick one up? I'd love to check it out sometime if you did.

My first good bike was a early/mid 90s Giant ATX-780. I still had it until about 3 years ago actually, but I loaned it to a coworker when their bike got stolen. Long story short I haven't seen it since.

Is that a splatter paint fork AND stem? sweet.

hey guys, here's a good way to clean your monitors:

Hehe, yup, the whole thing is very very very late '80s. I used to have a purple anodized bar on it, I wonder if I can dig that up?

Well played, sir.

Rennick -- not _really_ a teaser.. Wes, isn't that just the Uncle John that we've already seen a brazillion pictures of?

it should be here this week if i'm lucky - ben's got one and he really likes it... my boss just picked up one of those leica d-lux cameras and i've been lusting after it ever since so this is a nice close second.

Yes.. Leica == instant lust. Dream camera setup: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:M8JI1.jpg

In the brifter photo? Yes. That wasn't intended to be a teaser shot.. just a Campy + espresso diptych.

I got an email this morning from a design agency I'm tag-teaming a website with and the designer is a guy I met this past season through 'cross racing. Small world.

Since I failed I had loads of time to blow now:

dang. sorry to hear op.

the hell is wrong with Canada post! They won't even allow me to send a wheelset to the states because it exceeds their size limitations!?
And purolator wants $130 to ship it.
ah. game over I'm pretty sure they just changed their policies and size limitations because I just shipped out an entire bike last summer.

Can you drop off USPS in Canada anywhere?

I know they will ship square wheelsize boxes. Is your box unusually deep or something?

No, it has to go through Canada Post. Just like vice-versa. Are you sure you're reading the max dimensions correctly, sr20det? I thought their max sizes were closer to bike box size.
