IIRC, weren't they cheaper last year. I recall Duke's having the Fixies for $700 something.

What do you think of them cavernmech?

haha I was riding back east to the shop on Harbord and I passed you at Bathurst this afternoon and screamed "WESLEY!!!" at the top of my lungs and proceeded to cough blood the rest of the ride.

^with conti ultra races, its pretty much the only way for me to get a tyre on without popping a tube. Considering i popped two kenda tubes trying to get them on i think its somewhat of a good investment.

Thos tires are a problem for everyone. That's why they're so cheap. Pickup some good tires when it's time to change them out.

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
At first look I thought this was Sirrobin.

If anyone is interested I have a fantastic recipe for molton chocolate cakes. I know it's so 1990's but they are awesome. Stole the reicipe from this 85 year old chocolatier I catered for on Passover. I count it as a tip. She was mean. I mean really, really mean. Awesome recipies though. Skor bar cookies too.

Pie-related, my dad used to make a BADASS rhubarb crumble (and also used to eat raw rhubarb and horse radish out of the garden). The rhubarb crumble was, as I said "the jam" ... raw rhubarb/horse radish left me with more of a "Hey, I'll try that too - *WRETCH*" result.

There's a full queue sheet for all the songs featured in each track. Madness!

Once again, I'm so glad I 'rediscovered' podcasts. Episode 93 of the KEXP "Music That Matters" podcast is grrreat... I need to get some Ghislain Poirier records (https://www.myspace.com/ghislainpoirier). I always thought he was some indie rocker dude, but I was so wrong. https://kexp.org/podcasting/podcasting.asp

Bikes.
