Reminds me of a joke from high school:
*At lolapalooza* I'm looking for my friend, have you seen him? He's wearing a flannel jacket and chucks.
OR, at the shop: I'm here to pick up my bike. It's the rusty supercycle.

Last night I went East to see my buddy Dave, after 10 minute riding north on Spadina I quickly discovered how wet it really was out there (thanks to no fenders). Luckily I was able to dry my **** at his house, I was *soaked* by the time I got across the Danforth. Was a nice ride thanks to the wind, just wet and a touch cold on my feet with all the water. I rode back around 10:30/11 and the wind had died down a lot and most of the surface water had drained, so it was quite a pleasant ride back home too.
Looks to be nice today/this afternoon. I hope to be around for the DSR ride tonight, if happening.

Haha, yeah. This is the exact scenario that led me to take out the buds altogether. People kept saying they saw me and called to me on the street but I would NEVER hear them... I always figured that I could hear the cars coming up behind me so that was good enough but these days I choose to just leave 'em out completely... To each their own, though.
I just had an amazing meeting at the shop. Antonio Columbo (Founder of Columbus tubing and owner of Cinelli) came by to see the shop. All I can say is what an amazing dude. I got some good pics and he signed some Cinellis for us.
On another note, looks like ride is on for tonight! Gonna be a good one, bring lights if you have them as per the craigslist complaint! haha

I know there's some people in the know here on this one. I just got an unsolicited email from someone wanting to buy a domain name that I own. Any guide on how many bikes this will get me?

When I sold crywolf.ca last year to a company from the states I said $3000, they said $1500, I said $2500, sold.
Their business is called Cry Wolf and they were moving into the Canadian market so this was pretty appealing to them and frankly, worthless to me (I was just using it for a half-assed photo blog). Got more information on the domain/who wants it?
PS. When they initially contacted me they didn't say who they were. I did my research and found that out and obviously that the company must want the exact name I had. That's why I didn't move too much in negotiations.

Thought I'd give an update on my wheel building situation. Managed to get a rear wheel off someone who just happened to be building new wheels at phat moose (LBS). Ended up scoring a steelwool hub laced to a velocity aero rim, a matching front hub, mavic opensport rim and butted spokes for 180 all said and done.
Can't wait to start working on the front wheel tonight! Who says the LBS is always more expensive than Online :-)

Depends on just how bad they want the domain. Research the company, if dey big... you scored if it's for some product of theirs. Don't be too too eager, this could be a nice pay day.
I would have guessed that Parisexposed.com would have gone for more considering it is a porn site, but perhaps the client didn't tell the owner of the domain what they intended to do with it.
