Bike Forums - Toronto Fixed

Still a nice ride in the morning sun. And woot, there's a new Audrey Tatou at Ideal, french accent and all. I'm in love all over again. Plus I just discovered there's an Ideal at Queen and Coxwell....

oddly enough, i was in i deal this morning and did notice the new girl with the french accent. do they have beautiful french women at the other branches?

Oh and if anybody has a tall nitto technomic stem w. ~70mm reach, it'd go well with the rando bars on my tourer :) I have a few stems too for trade...

i've got a technomic in an 8cm length with a 26.0 clamp that i'm not using. if you're interested in a trade of some sort, give me a PM.

good ride tonight guys! cyclo-tarck riding in the dark + no lights == good times. Herbie - thanks for that wheel, its working out great.

Anytime dude, I didn't look to see if you were using, I'd assumed you'd throw it on for next week, drop by sometime next week to have it re-tensioned.

After we all split up (from another awesome ride, thanks guys) I went down St. George and grabbed some street meat..now I feel like that dude from alien where the baby alien explodes from his gut. Damn cat food.

And you were just telling me about your rough Licks burgers experience! We never learn!

Talked to Danhalen today, he is at a show tonight. Remember, he is a working man now.

It looks to be the stock bike. The hubs are cheapo loose bearing prolly. Those frames are incredibly strong and durable. Used to come stock with 75's for like $600.

Howdy all,

While I don't live in T.O., I do manage a fair bit of fixed riding, mostly between Bathurst & Queen's Quay out to The Etobicoke Sailing club and back during my lunch hours.
I actually took some pictures today. Enjoy

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.

Your cog should be in on Friday.

Indeed!

also: I keep thinking that "Biker Planet" ad that always appears on the site now makes it look like I'm surfing naughty stuff at work. That is all.

I had some buddys who worked at licks.

I dont eat there ever, its unsafe, im talking picking burgers up off the ground and serving them, hair, spit, you name it.

My bern helmet arrived, in other news. Full review in time, but as far as todays commute is concerned, probably the best helmet I have owned, it makes me at least 3km/h faster. :D. I was surprised though, a lot of hype about the lid but its actually pretty dead on, light, comfy as hell, a little warm, pretty low profile. I dont feel like a goomba in it. Finally I get to compete in events!

Oh and dirt update: my hangers have also arrived, fixing my trailbike on the weekend. Get to meet you guys on the trail finally!

I love that movie. He almost looks at peace with the carnivorous alien monster that just burst from his chest cavity after having been deposited in his stomach as an egg by a creepy multi-legged prehensile-tailed equally hideous alien.
