I like the idea of late Sat morning.

I'll be there Fri/Sat/Sun ... expect me to be seething with disdain for humanity by the time you all show up on Saturday. By Sunday I'll probably be throwing punches.

For any car peeps here, I'm getting rid of a Kenwood KSC-WA801 Basstube powered subwoofer.
Exactly like this one http://houston.craigslist.org/ele/593062975.html
PM me if you're interested. Includes wiring harness and manual.

ihearld- is it just you going to track 1? I won't be able to make it and neither are the other guys. So you got 3 spots to play with if you want.

Is the shop going represent?

We're going to be there, but not with a huge booth.

Cycle Therapy does a lot of work with the Friends for Life Bike Rally. Booth space for an organization like that (or manufacturers) is much more expensive than what retail stores pay. Raleigh Canada (which also does Diamondback) is a sponsor of the rally this year so the three of us have worked out a deal: Raleigh pays for the booth and stocks it with some bikes/parts/accessories, the rally gets to promote itself for free using the booth space and we volunteer our time to work the booth, promote our store and maybe make a bit of cash if anyone wants to buy anything.

As far as actual Cycle Therapy content, we're bringing four customer bikes that we like and think show off what the store's about. There will also be maybe one display case full of parts and whatnots that I've marked down for people. When I'm not talking 'cross bikes or singlespeed conversions with people I'll likely be wandering around looking for deals on SLR saddles, King headsets and Alpha Q forks.

I might be down for that


Also, from Navid:

Pyze - at this point it looks like i'll be heading to the bike show on sunday morning if you want to grab a coffee and go or some such thing.

my ride in this morning was actually much better than i expected. granted, i didn't leave until 10:30 so i think the roads were plowed and slushed by then. i agree with brad though, i'm sick of the east-west slog on the roads with streetcar tracks. i've been taking bloor and spadina a lot lately. actually if you've got time to go out of the way, either dupont or davenport work nicely for getting east and west.

while it's cold out i should tell you that when making beef stew, adding a couple cans of guiness to it makes it just freaking awsome.

anyone going to the show sunday morning let me know and we'll have a coffee first, show-n-tell after.

mike, stay sane during the show, i'll bring you a coffee on sunday.

Going to Ottawa for the week on Sunday morning as it turns out, being March Break and all. Seems Sat morning is when I'll be going to the show.

oh well, have fun on the road trip.

on another note, hot damn

That guy has a crazy collection of track bikes, my favourite being this Rossin: http://velospace.org/node/7816

shoot that rossin is nice. i've always had a soft spot for those frames...

I'm still kicking myself that I missed out on that complete Rossin pista back in the autumn. It was on CL for $500 but the seller was up in Elora and I couldn't get up there before he sold it. Bummer.

Yeah, it's just me that's doing it. That's too bad you guys won't be able to be there. I'll have fun for you.

if any of you guys are around tonight, and have an interest in proper british metal, my friends Johnny Truant are playing twice tonight.

i'd like to be there when they open up at 10 so i can still have a good look-around and make it to work on time.

I like that time.

So there goes two Sunday people! But two still on.

Now going is hinging on this stupid weather we are going to get. GO AWAY SNOW! Hope it clears up by Sunday morning.
