We do their bike's at C.S. Parliament. I have built up several so far this year, including one the other night for our old missing comrade Bikeophile. Nice frame...butted steel...1 inch threadless..chromed head lugs...nice eccentric B.B...Full fender +1 bottle braze-ons...butted steel box crown fork...understated graphics with a nice wet paint and the clear is a Sikkens purple hue I think. The geometry is towards the sport/road end of things so it isn't a racing type of ride but super comfy. No short reach sidepulls unfortunately, but with full fenders in mind, I guess they had no choice. The build kit is really nice as well...Anodized Formulas on Alex deep rims...Vittoria Rubino's...144 bcd IRO style cranks w/ a nice solid 1/8 ring. I am not usually so shameless a shill but I really like their bikes. A Canadian company producing a mass produced bike that doesn't look like one.
This is Rob's new bike. Obviously not the stock build, but who of us does ride a stock build?

First Don ride of the year...stupid work. Did a couple laps of the lower Don. Only saw 6 or 7 other guys in there. They have done some serious work on the dirt jumps since last year. I think I will make it my commute home from work every day. We are so lucky to have such a great trail system right in the centre of the city. Good times.
Stoked for the Mansfield O-Cup this weekend. Going up for the weekend for pre-riding and racing on Sunday. The Nottawasaga Inn even has a whirlpool, sauna and waterslide! YAY!

Actually, that's steel + carbon isogrid. And there is a whole list of things about that bike:
-Weirdo steel+carbon frame
-Campy bits
-White paint
-Single ring up front
-Alpha-Q CX20 fork
I wouldn't have thought of the isogrid pattern as 'argyle', but I guess I'll take that too.

Because I'm tired, covered in baby spitup and tired, I still don't get it. The whole bike for 450?

The build kit...which is all the components needed to build the bike is around $450. The frameset (frame, fork and headset) is $600. The whole bike complete, built, is $999.

ps. remember how I described the guy as "White 'n' nerdy"?
Also, great "fan" made music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WK3O_qZVqXk
I wanna see him play live so badly.
And finally, a great video of him doing a mashup 'howto', in bed, with a girl asleep next to him.. high-larious: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KykbPtRb0K4
