There's a joke in there about bouncing a cheque to the wrong person, I just don't have the balls to say it.

This guy? That's Ted. Or do you mean a guy from another picture? I wouldn't want to have an incident with him! Raaaar!

The team has a deal with Yeti, so there are a lot of guys/gals riding them

Just my size! Wicked awesome. Ill be happy to take a jersey or two off your hands :). We shall meet yes?

By the by, anyone have an extra long seatpost? It says 30.8 on my WTB one, i need MIN three four inches longer to be comfy... I can likely settle for two inches longer too. This past weekend I almost blew out my trick knee from the Ironhorses terrible seat-height.

Yeah its a shortass frame, but it jumps like a rabbit.

And is anyone going to sprints?

(P.S. Hi guys, was on at-home vacation from all things work and computers.)

Can't say for sure who it was, dressed up in commuter garb I didn't recognise them anyway :p #1747 was still on the bike from the event though. Nice looking ride, I'm starting to feel an itch to do some single track... after hearing you guys chat last night too... hmm :p

Sprints: I'll probably be there if they're on.

1747 Pary Bell Darkhorse Flyers from Toronto

Hmm.. No idea who that is! I didn't realize Darkhorse had a team either... cool stuff. He was out on course at the same time as me, so he wouldn't be in any of my pictures. :)

Flimflam 05-14-08 12:22 PM

This guy, or at least it was this bike for sure.

Edit: ah yes, you posted already.. :)

Herbie_Glick 05-14-08 12:46 PM

Pary Bell is a good customer of the beaches CS store. He bought that Yeti from them and also bought my old Look. Wicked guy. I saw him after my race and snapped that pic, he looks like he is having too much fun for a race! haha! Where did you see him having an issue with a driver?

Flimflam 05-14-08 01:33 PM

Broadview/Danforth - he was heading south across Danforth - I was waiting to go East at the light - he looked over at me as if to say "did you see that ****?" but I didn't/couldn't offer anything heh.

Hahahah.. Mike and I were talking about the "commuter disgust look" just last night on our way home from the DSR.dirt ride. It's that really disappointed look while shaking your head. :D

Apparently I'd be happy with a full stable of bikes under the Planet-X/On-One brand umbrella:

The new Ti bikes are made by Lynskey. Unfortunately they're still at Lynskey prices too.

Does anyone know if FedEx Ground is as bad as UPS Ground for getting gang-***** getting things across the border?

Ok I'm a little slow... I just read the caption on that image above and it is hilarious.. Gotta make sure DrBenway sees that.

somnambulant 05-14-08 07:03 PM

As opposed to what, me actually finding an image that says "mother nature hates sprints" on it? :P

nerdsgirth 05-14-08 07:08 PM

My hero.

krusty 05-14-08 07:18 PM

Yep. Fedex is just as bad as UPS. I ordered a guitar headphone amp before they were available up here. It was worth all of $40. Fedex then sent me a bill for $20 for various fees. I am waiting on at least the 2nd notice before paying.

pyze-guy 05-14-08 07:56 PM

Anyone have a moustach bar they can loan me? I want to give one a try to see if I like it.

somnambulant 05-14-08 08:23 PM

I'm off the bike from tomorrow, will be weird but I think a nice break, despite my resolve to take a bike to Ottawa, I just couldn't see myself riding there in one haul yet (one day this year I will try :)). Also had a bit of an odd time adapting to the geared bike this morning... I dislike not having the backpedal ability :)
