Hrm, do you recall how many holes they were? I am guessing 32h but you never know...

Does anyone have some old Shimano 600 hoods lying around? The non-aero ones, to be exact. Thanks.

Not a clue. Regardless, if I'm sure it didn't boil down to greed, and I could foresee using them in the near future, I'd buy & bank 'em.

I was thinking how awesome they would be with those 36h Mavic Open Pros listed on CL right now....mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I dont.

But I did pull all the components off a 1985 Norco 12 speed. So disappointed the frame is done for, crushed down tube. Nice made in Japan Canadian bike. Has suntour arx deraileurs and tube shifters, dai compe 500 brakes and levers, and a 52/40 sugino gt crank in very sexy shape. I know you have some older road bikes so if any of the parts interest you, or anyone else let me know.

Hubs look in decent shape as well.

i keep noticing on my rides in the morning that lycra, gears and oakleys make you lance freakin armstrong... and clearly that gives you the right to ride my rear tire so you can slingshot out of the pellaton (sp?) to pass me once starbucks is visible...

sounds like you lost the race

no wonder you're upset

Is the rear hub a freewheel or cassette? I might be interested if the latter.

Wicked. If you don't need them, I would love them and can pick them up by the weekend. You are still in the east end?

hey all,

i am helping a friend back home do some bike-shopping research and have a couple questions.

1) seeing as i have not been home for a while, can anyone give a rundown of current SS/FG-friendly shops in the downtown core; i only know duke`s has moved (dunno about SS/FG, though), cavern has closed (and keith is now at ???) and urbane is still around. any help would be appreciated to point him in the best direction and/or who might be a good shop person to talk to?

2) from my friend`s preliminary research, can anyone offer any comments on the following frame sets/completes? or anything else that may be available locally? i have a steamroller, but have not ridden the rest for comparison.

thanks! feel free to add any other relevant advice/info.

I am really happy with my MASI fixed. For what its worth though, I think I would be equally happy with an IRO or a steamroller or a sputnik. They are all solid bikes although personal prefference wise I find the sputnik ugly as sin and am one of those folks who cannot get over their irrational fear of carbon.

Dont know anything about the boroughs although that seems a little more track geometry specific than the others. I think you would have a hard time going wrong with any of those though, most entry level bikes seem to be more or less equivalent.

*jumps up and down*

2010 cyclocross NATIONALS are happening in Toronto! That is all. :)

Neat! Any more details than that?

So far, no, just that it's confirmed for Toronto and being held by Ziggy: http://www.cyclocrossontario.com/node/1125

braaaaaaaaake levers...

if anyone has to sell, old new, used, usable?

Ziggy seems like a pretty good guy. Anytime I am in his shop he is very friendly and he always sets up a booth on Roncesvalles during the Polish Festival with $3000 bikes for everyone to gawk at.

What kind. I have v-brake levers and a set of cross levers I don't need.

Co-worker comes up to me this morning, says;

"I saw you yesterday riding down jarvis. I was in a car behind you and wow, you were everywhere a car or pothole wasn't. There'd be a car stopped in front of me and suddenly you were in the other lane like the other cars weren't even there".

Made my morning :)

My co-workers try to run my over :(

All yours. I moved but am still in the east end. 243 Milverton. I'm working Sat, and Sunday afternoon. Let me know when you are planning to come by and if I am out I will leave them on the porch for you.

One of mine almost did a few months back.

I feel like drivers have been better these past couple months though. I don't know if they haven't gotten a chance to get sick of cyclists yet because it's spring, or if maybe people are finally becomming resigned to the fact that bikes belong on the road and nobody cares whether you like it or not. Either way I'm feeling less hostility out there it seems

Freewheel.

[QUOTE=Herbie_Glick;8865330]Longest night ever......well worth it in photos.

Doin great. I use o2 a lot but we just picked up Lezyne pumps and they are awesome. With a hose attachment and double pump pressure too!




Checked out the Lezyne, they are beauties. Do you know of anyone who carries a selection of the compact ones here in Toronto - or did you grab it off the web?

I just realized, I don't know how to quote properly, is there a button I'm missing?

bikes on wheels carry lezyne

will they fit road bars 24mm clamp? i guess cross levers would be what would work best....?

I plan to be running them on side-pulls.. old, really really sketchy sidepulls,

let me know how much you would like for them!

I think you have my just erased the [ / quote ] portion of the html allowing you to quote.

press the "reply with quote" header and then make sure the content you are quoting is enclosed with square bracket 'quote' and square bracket '/quote'.

allow me to demonstrate:

[QUOTE=meixeira;8873065]Based on Wil's response I'd say that Cycle Solutions carries them... and like Anthony said; Bikes On Wheels in the Market also carries them...

There are a lot of politics inherent to promoting and organizing races. Without speaking to those issues, ya, Ziggy does a lot of work for the local racing scene and I enjoy a lot of the events with his name on them.
