apparently, a friend's b/f (dean) is doing some kinda tiki bar set-up around there. if you find yourself there and see a girl with a bunch of tats working there (amanda...she digs bikes, too!), tell her a guy from japan off the internets sent you...she will know who i am. :thumb:

Trek's new belt driven cross bike. I don't know how this is different from a chain...but it looks cool

yeah but it's still a trek unfortunately

They have been around for awhile. They are loud and frame flex makes the belt skip. Check out Spot Brand for other belt driven bikes.

Maki caught at the Dance Cave!!!!!

Hey guys, I could use some help!

I'm leaving on a break-in tour on my new surly on Wednesday and riding to the cottage for thanksgiving. Problem is my shop in St. Catharines did not inform me the rack I ordered was on backorder! So now I am scrambling to find a touring capable rack.

I know the last time I was at Urbane they had an Old man mountain rack that would work, but I would prefer a Tubus Cargo or something along those lines and it needs to fit a 26" wheeled bike. Any other shop recommendations?

I've been looking online but not many shops list racks, let alone which ones they carry.
I'm in Oakville for the weekend so going to Toronto is no problem, I just need to find one.
Thanks so much!

We have some nice Blackburn and Axiom racks at Cycle Solutions on Parliament.

Yep, Dean Baldwin's tiki bar is set up in the Hart House courtyard, I believe. Get there early, he only has 1000 coconuts to drink out of!

Thanks for the help! But ended up stopping by Urbane, now to just install this mother and hope for clear skies next weekend...

i will forever love the one of you that buys me a cervelo P4

im guessin everyone is at nuit blanche...the cabbage patch town version was ight...
wanted to get downtown...but marly was kinna scared ridin the iro in traffic...:D

that would explain where people are!


im watching killbill before my 14hour shift tomorrow

Blah blah blah race at Earl Bales Park tomorrow (http://www.ontariocycling.org/web_do...kto_08__2_.pdf) ... *wanders off to bed*

youre startin to become a grumpy old man like me! :notamused:

Downtown traffic was friggin' nuts. Pedestrians all over the place... in one sense it was kind of nice as it was sort of a critical mass for pedestrians, but the drivers got more and more 'rangy as it went on. What was nice was if someone tried a left turn anywhere, you had free lanes for a couple blocks ahead of them.

And a stolen bike in Toronto mentioned in the main thread. http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=473413

Take a look at this cool video.

So they took the "one got fat" educational video and dubbed over music? Brilliant.

one of the reasons i didn't venture out. that, and i was tuckered out from the first day of filming!

mike got to see me in costume though... :lol:

what time is the guy at parts unknown usually around his shop on mondays?

It's generally hit and miss. I'm not sure if this number is correct:

hmm.. i need to hit up parts unknown on monday as well.. looking for a vintage gran compe or dura ace ex caliper/lever set.

I've had pretty good luck at the CBN shop down on Queen, just west of Bathurst. They have a lot of used parts and the prices were very reasonable...I picked up some 105 downtube shifters in perfect shape for $5.

Nuit Blanche was fun, and we only managed to hit up the A zone to some degree, the kids and I. Out til almost three am. Is it me or was the quality of the art uuuum somewhat lacking .. maybe to accommodate the bigger masses? Some of the stuff was so inconveniently installed you had to line up around the block and wait almost an hour to pass through/by in a crush of people... hardly the way I like to absorb my art. With dragging kids around as well, if you can't engage them you lose them , and you just might lose them forever in terms of wanting to go out to these kinds of things. Zombies were a total let down, we saw a couple but no indication as to where they were to be or what time they were happening, no organization as to where to queue up of zombification. We left that area disappointed.

Stares at MTB fork..damn you why can't you be a lighter stiffy fork? CX boys, how many more local-ish citizen accepting races, as well, store wise, who's got the skinniest knobblies I might mount on an MTB for such funnery? Moved my seat forward substantially this morning, my back says YAY!

http://www.ontariocycling.org/web_pa...h_schedule.php <-- Race schedule ... Oct. 12 is at Cedarvale Park.

hmmm do groceries on Saturday for Monday, Monday off to recover.... dang....anyone got a demo CX they'd be willing to loan out? 5'8 on a straight spine day.

For local it is pretty much Cedarvale next weekend. Why does it have to be local? We can get you there if you want to come out. You might be able to find some Conti Cross Country 1.5 if you look around....these are a good choice for cross. try C.S. Beaches...they might have a few.

2 top ten finishes for me in the last 2 races....not to toot my own horn...but....TOOT!

I was just thinking of stuff I could get to easily, I can most likely borrow wheels as well if I miss you guys.
Frak the fork thing...

Hey got a used PSP from daughter as early Xmas gift, how cool. Anyone got old games or memory sticks they'd be willing to get rid of, I'm shoppin' for used PSP items.

NICE KEITH on your two top tens...WOOT!!!
