I wasn't feeling good at all so I cut out at Clinton.

Sam was telling me that the Japanese retailers he deals with order the most insane colorways. Everytime he takes the order he shakes his head but they seem to sell. They must think I'm nuts with my all black UTW Messential.

Congrats on the kids guys. If only they could always be THIS cute: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2a8NLuVwIs or this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OBlg...eature=related

Okay, hubs are ordered, should ship Monday via USPS. Only thing people need to know: only have the hubs in silver, I know the site said black. So I ordered for everyone anyways If you don't want a set of fixed free hubs for $40 you are a w@nker. Haha just kidding. Anyways if you dont want them in silver let me know soon so I can call and cancel your order. or keep them and flip them on Clist or ebay for more than they cost you.

Cheers,
Chris.

This one is crazy too. So so miss living there sometimes.

Sweet pyze, thankees very muchlies - if I think ahead, I'll get some cashola for you at mass tonight, if not, then whenever they come in I guess.

Up early to get to Whitby for 8:30 and the office doesn't get opened until 9:20 as they were running late... Mendddooozzzaaaa!

Mounted fenders during the train ride, I'm hoping it was worth the effort.

Oh yeah, and PS. on those Cascadia fenders - *massive* improvement on the front coverage, the backside (under the downtube area) is WAY longer now, with the mudflap it's superb coverage - I hope it performs!

Did anyone hear on CBC yesterday about the possibility of banning brakeless bikes? My girlfriend said she heard something... I can't find anything on their site.

Was this in Toronto only? Seems like a something at the municipal bylaw level.

Is this even news?

You can have mine. I was only interested in black ones since I'm in absolutely zero hurry to build another wheelset and I'm being picky.

ps. and by "have" I mean take over my spot, not freebies.

I just realized I've ridden 3 different bikes in the last 24-hours. Good times.

COLLECT THEM ALL!
