That I will do
Edit: Because I was a ****** and already paid for them. I'm hoping they won't hassle me for asking for a refund. |
keith, are you on non-winter hours now?

hah! I keep meaning to post the fact that this site is filtered by the network at work. I guess it's all the bike porn ;)

In random news that no one cares about, I just put some skinny slicks on the Surly 1x1, and it is ever so zippy now.

skinny speedy sweetness

speaking of new tires.. operator, how long did it take for you to get your order from pbk?
|
The package was dated 4/03 and i got it exactly 9 days later. I have another order coming in (cassette this time). We'll see how long it takes.
Oh and uh, it looks like they raised the prices on the rubinos like $3 each. |

I had an awful day at work yesterday, but I wound up with a big grin on my face all the way home.

I do miss lighting a smoke while riding with no hands though....that always impressed the ladies ;) |

dudes and ladies - i've heard mention of vietnamese sub shops on this thread in the past. i'm too lazy to search for it; what are some of the good ones?

Ok, this post is going to be next to worthless but i'm going to type it out anyhow. There are two on the west side of Spadina just north of Dundas (near Moon Bean lattitude wise). One of them is good, one of them sucks (IMHO). The one that is good has a long white counter on the left as soon as you walk in with a lady usually preparing more of them.
If she has a pile of recently made ones go for those, but if it looks like they might be a day old, ask her to make you one (F#(*$ old ones hate them). nothing worse than a cheap helmet that looks like a big old egg-shaped beer cooler on your head. Of course i'd never wear one. anyone want to hit a patio after work today? Bicycle Specialties, 7/32 bearings for 6 cents each, not campy but who cares. Time to fly downtown. Somnambulant post a time... ! I know you're not doing work so you have time to read this post! :D |

Besides the not too cool to wear aspect, the round ugly (retro 1980s style) helmets actually afford the best protection. No snag points, more material and usually more coverage than the sleek aer0 roadie type helmet. Of course i'd never wear one. I might be coming downtown today, what time?
