I am pretty sure warning stickers increase resale value. Not as much as frame size stickers, though. Those things are money in the bank.

Stickers are dead weight. Remove!

Computrainer guys - how was it?

I got it at a small up and coming store at Richmond & Spadina... Duke's. I might keep the Jamis as a beater, but its certainly an impractical one. Why aren't there more C'dale dealers in the City? Do Trek, Giant, & Kona lock stores into exclusive contracts? Is Cannondale a b!tch to deal with? What gives?

*cough*

Steve rides a c'dale. He's the one that said you wrapped your bars wrong. Hahaa

I seem to recall carries Sporting Lifes "bike" shop carries(d) Cannondale.

It's cavit8, yeah!

Steve can suck it ;)

Drunk post.

So should we start a red bike club on myspace?

I have absolutely no idea how to fit frame and wheels into this modified box. It is tight when just the frame and fork are in there. And that's without padding! Any ideas? At least I have a 70lb limit for a bike!!?!?!?!

google it. There's a lot of descriptions on how to do it. You can get a pretty tight fit.

I seem to recall that Velotique rents hard shell bike cases for travel, if you can't get the box to work.

Yeah boxes come in different sizes. If you need one, urbane gots lots of spare boxes in different sizes.

Maybe the 203 cm is just the limit for normal checked baggage?

I've brought my bike on planes a few times and the boxes have always been well over 203 cm in total dimensions.

In my experience they just ask if it's a bike and I say yeah and they charge me the bike fee, they've never pulled out a measuring tape.

But I've only brought my bike on US Airways flights, give Air Canada a call and see what they have to say, stupid airline baggage constraints. :mad:

They do. It's where I bought mine.

sweet new rides for shapelike and kergin, congrats!

On Air C. Normal baggage is 158 cm (which has recently been reduced) and bikes are 203 cm - if it is larger they say they charge an oversize fee on top of your bike fee. doh.

Thanks, I'll continue to look.

This is about as off-topic as I've ever been (2G1C excluded), but is it a thing in hot air ballooning that all the balloons are supposed to look unique (pirate flag styles or something)?

...speaking of hot air balloons....? My early memories of hot air balloons always involved some corporate logo (like remax) advertising on the balloon itself. maybe that's the mainstream and there's a whole hot air balloon "counter culture" out there?

They're hipster balloons.

Any pleasant memories I had of hot air balloons were pretty much obliterated by watching Enduring Love (hello, most disturbing scene ever).

Back from the Icebreaker. I really can't imagine doing the long course. there was still quite a bit of snow on course and there were several unrideable (at least by me) sections. The S.S. was absolutely great. I was already in love with my 29er but now it is official. Even fully rigid I found myself passing lots of guys on fully suspended bikes. 17 in the S.S. Short course cat. Maki (veteran youth) killed it coming in 2nd....fixed! The only fixie rider out there and 2nd to boot. Awesome! Wes and I finished 10th and 11th respectively, with Wes holding off my hard charging sprint with a well placed elbow. Just kidding...I was 20 or so seconds behind him. The team did great overall with many podiums. GOOD TIMES!

Tom Boonen won Paris-Roubaix today too......YAY!
