Cool old fire extinguishers 
Nice bike, looks like you need to have a default angry attack face when riding it though - so aggressive!
Might not make it to the ride tonight, we shall see - nice to read sprints will be back next week.

the funny thing is that with the stem as high as it is, the bars are actually higher than the ones on my gt. with the seat at the same height as the gt.

Don't think a 60 would be a good fit, but I'd love to try it for kicks - it's not a super-absurd seat/bar drop - just the saddle position in relation to the frame looks nuts (seat-tube really).
So I says to Mable I says

So I was able to make it into the Don today after all. Wifes plans changed. I need a good front tire, suggestions are welcome.
So after riding the dirt drops on the road for a month it was my first time using the drops as they were intended, and they are awesome. Very easy to steer, shift and reach the brakes, climbing was great as was control down the hills. In all I was very, very pleased with the ride. Tektro cantis were fine as well, never felt out of control while decending. Got a few double take looks in the parking lot at the end of the ride too.

It's a possibility.There's a few goofs in the main subforum who *might* get the thread locked for a bit.
I mentioned I wouldn't appreciate it as we use Toronto Fixed a fair bit and one of the mods said they'd move Toronto Fixed as a thread of the Eastern Canada regional thread for the duration so everything stays intact.
edit:: Having read Brian's post now, as per Ill Mitch's comment it appears that the SSFG thread will be locked to a select group rather than a universal lock (which apparently a few folks in that thread haven't grasped as yet). So we should be golden.

Had a fun ride in the Don with Wes this evening. As long as weather holds, DSR Dirt Edition should start next Tuesday night. A 6.30-6.45 meet at Pottery Road seems to work out ok and leave enough daylight to do a full loop. All are welcome.
