Donut ride is available Sunday still so no worries.
Edit: Got my campy brakes. For the price, I am highly unimpressed.

We have a few at the shop. Upright cruiser style, basket, fenders. For the type it is pretty sweet. Kona donates the proceeds from 1 out of every 3 to African aid.
I can't remember who was asking..Dr Benway? about the electric horns like Wes had...the Annoyanator 5000...we have some at C.S....$9.99.

Bicyclesport was a much loved and iconic store run by Mike Barry (father of USPS, Discovery, T-Mobile, High Road and Canadian Olympian rider Michael Barry and owner/builder of Mariposa Bicycles). It was located on King St. East and closed up in 1990. Mike Barry later opened and ran Bicycle Specialties and just retired this past December.
What bike did your friend buy?

So my friend got this bike, a "Olympic 76" made by Antoine Polsinelli from Cycle Sports (same place?). Very light frame with unusual characteristics: french BB, oversize seatstays (??), long point lugs, curved seatstay bridge. No braze-ons (campy clips), and campy parts. There are some pics in the C&V section. Perhaps he can contact Mr. Barry... Thanks!

kergin - oof, sucks to see even those lever/hoods all scraped up, let alone the rim (wow) and your legs - take it easy and heal well for the upcoming season, hope everything goes well re: your claims/bike recovery/fix too.
Unlikely I'll be able to make that computrainer stuff this coming weekend, a donut ride might be a tight squeeze for Sunday too, but slim chance it's possible...
I also just realised my Rob Roy will be ready this week, schweet!
zipp, I swore I was following you tonight along Queen W until I got closer and realised it was just the same jacket . Good call on the summer stuff, I've now switched my gloves to a thin wool full finger layer (just for those windy moments, like today heading East!) and might even don the shorts tomorrow, it's getting to that crossover point for my bottom layering too for me.

Love these shots of Devolder at the Tour of Flanders on Sunday... the spectators are awesome. The guy in red next to Devolder's head in the first pic kills me.

Ah Som, the red guy made my nine forty-five so much funnier today.
And Kergin, that wheel made me cry on the inside, best wishes for teh nees.
I just picked up the laaaast bit i wanted for a while, the last black and red pair of marinoni straps in me shop! Timiiiiing. Anyone have a shoe suggestion for clips? Im getting trashed in my crappy runners, and until I find my chucks, im open to thoughts on the matter.

Anyone have links to a good cycling torrent tracker? It used to be that demonoid had most of the protour events.. but that's old history.
I'm hoping more events will move to live coverage.. it was awesome watching the last tour of california using that flash-based tracker..
+1.. I felt SUPER strong biking downtown yesterday and figured my recovery was going great.. then I realized the error of my ways on the way home
Kergin: heal fast!

shoes: depends on your pedals, if you have more track type pedals like sylvan track's, you want a more solid sole, i like the adidas shelltoe ... if you have more of a platform like the gr-9, you can get away with something smaller like vans or pumas or whatever ... aslong the inside of the shoe doesn't have leather (makes your heel slip) you should be fine with whatever ... i find current running and true skate shoes too big for riding

You can't watch a live stream of Eurosport UK, unfortunately, but if you use the app to choose cycling there are lots of recent highlight reels/etc.

theyre prolly the salsa ones, ive been on them a few rides now and one side is already beginning split on one of them...
plus they were somewhere around twenty bucks.
i believe they call them "eggbeaters"? teeny quill pedals. ima run them with my chucks and see how i feels. btw if you see me on this bike, im new to clips, dont laugh as i fall over in front of you surrepitously.
