Dude seems to know too much for it to be a stolen bike. Definitely a nice build.

Public linkie for my ever growing photo collection from the weekend.

Thanks for the tip Wes, that's on my way home too so I'll have to check it out. I had really disappointing F&C on Monday for lunch, so I needed to have my fix

Small group turned out for the ride tonight, I doubled back once we got to the lookout just past the booths, as I had a slow leak on the front (after having a flat on the way, tube-ass holery all round).

Nice IRO build there indeed, nice price too.

the only thing that made me think it was stolen was the price. all the parts seem too be very top-drawer.

question for the tech-boys: are those little 7" $300 linux based laptops worth it? i was thinking of one just for portability etc. how easy is it to install xp or the like on those things?

AAAAGGGHHHHH!!!!!!

Nice pics!

TJ - love the camera distortion on this one


are these from the saturday? i can't see any rain in the photos...


A good weekend indeed. wish i had picked up a reload bag; damn those were beautiful (ie the merycx one)

Dan, thanks for drinking beer with me.

so more hassle than their worth? maybe i'll stick to pen and journal when i'm not home...

OK... so something happened here:

Oh, and if anything needs a caption of "MMMEEEEENNNNDDDOOOOOZZZAAAAAA" this does, I think

Let me `paint' the scene for you...





(You probably have a better pic of this than I do, Wil)

Is anyone else planning on attending the DSR group ride tomorrow night? I am going but it's going to be my first ride with them, my first group ride ever, actually so I'm a bit nervous.
I'll be riding a red Trek conversion, wearing a black Bell multi-sport helmet. Please say hi!

hey, i'm sure i've seen some of you toronto riders out there on the streets.. how bout some pics of you/yr bikes so us new people can put a name to the faces and rides?

hey guys, i posted in the trading thread but i thought id post here as well since i live pretty close to toronto. i have a welded 55cm no name steel track frame (red) with a few paint chips and a small ding in the top tube which i believe was originally bought from cyclepath and im looking to trade it for something a touch smaller, either another track frame or a decent steel road bike to convert. im willing to pitch cash as well if you have something better than what i've got. PM me if your interested.

I considered one of them eepc for 0 noise browsing/messaging then switching on main pc for gaming. Couldn't justify the cost yet still (and the lower performance). *nix would work just as fine on the eepc.

It'll be their loss leader.

Finally got around to posting the photos from the weekend: www.makergo.com

Ha. I am definitely the dude in the grey cardigan in this one:

The IRO is legit. He stopped in at C.T. a few times last year with it. It was a miracle buy he actually got off someone else.

The cyclocross bike:


The mountain bike:


There's an IRO Rob Roy frameset hanging at Cycle Therapy which I'll be building up too this summer. It'll be orange, no logos on the frame, with stupidly bling parts that show I'm trying to live above my means.

If I had a reason to own one I would already. But I have a laptop already, so it seems silly. I think Andre (aka. Fuzzz) has one.. try PMing him.

Yo Vainglorious check my sig for bike pics...

also heres a pic of me holdin down tha block...
yeaaaaaaaaaaaa boyee...the guy in tha suit just linked a speedball! j/k!


agreed...that thing is priced outta competition...its supposed to be a barebones laptop but its priced the same as the futureshop special laptops...why would i get that when i can kick in a little extra and get a better cpu/more ram/a hard drive/a dvdburner?

The blitz continues.. one of their favourite spots is Beverley + Baldwin. I saw 2 cruisers, an unmarked car, and a bike cop within a single block; glad to know the city is safe from renegade cyclists.

The campaign seems to be targeting running stop signs + no bell.

I guess I should watch out if I pop down to Urbane to, you know, buy a bell! Maybe I'll just go to Curbside instead.

Nope. I have looked at the numbers for the workshop and there pretty low.


the loss leader will remain the electronic gadgets as there is very little mark up on them, and still a huge return rate.

Back again on the W side of St George just south of Sussex (North of Robarts). Id'ing and ticketing.

Sorry, not a particularly helpful comment I made. I was thinking more in terms of putting Windows on instead of using Linux. I think they use Xandros though, and I have no idea what the distro is like.
