Mec always has a good selection.

Also, that marinoni is hot. Nice way to get over the langster.

Yeah, in a BIG way!

It is a sweet ride, i took the lakeshore out to etobicoke and back this morning and then rode around the city for a bit. stopped in at cervelo and saw dan working hard(ha!).

this time i'm leaving my gf in the garage and i sleep with my bike from now on! and also i got a chain lock and a u-lock. the chain leads to three snarling angry dogs. i've been pokin 'em with a stick and singing off key. moo may ma moe. mo moo mah may!

Definitely a nice 'noni, sweet man.

+1 on what length, Wes? I have stock IRO cranks and I think 75s would be a nice thing to upgrade to.

TJ: I've ridden Jane from Bloor to Hwy 7 before - it's not too bad (though it was -15 last time I was up there, less issues on the road in that weather) - heading north is going to be a bit ****ty with the incline - I wouldn't personally recommend Eglinton to traverse across, bit too busy in places for my liking (like around Leslie/deathzone) - other than that, Yonge isn't too bad IMO for a straight haul north, I'd head west until you get across the Don, then head north of Bloor from there. Davenport for east/west is nice for the most part. The very western side of St. Clair W sucks hard, and that whole street is rolling hills with intermittent construction and general ballbaggery - so don't bother with that IMO.

Pyze: you done with the chainwhip? I should grab that from you when possible.

Wow, nice! Great colour too.

I got some SIDI bullets at MEC for reasonably cheap. An okay shoe except for the hard plastic sole which is very treacherous on wet rocks or anything hard and slippery.

Velotique has Shimano M075's on for $90. They get some pretty good reviews at www.mtbr.com although I haven't used them myself.

hey guys, are there any other stores besides curbside and duke's that carry chrome mess bags? i tried both places but neither had the colour i wanted..

yo vainglorious...dont know bout any stores...I just ordered mine...I had the same problem as you and curbside seemed to be the only place that had the backbone...and they didnt have any and they werent going to order for a long time...

yo 2wheels that bike is dope! alls well that ends well...until we catch the prick with your bikes...then its beat down time!

Arrgh, forgot I hadn't got that back to you. Hmmm, I`m off to my cottage for a week or so Fri morning, and working Thurs night, and tomorrow afternoon, although that might work out okay as I`m at the Carlu at 1 and should be done early evening. PM me a number a can reach you at in the day and I try to get it to you asap.

ah duppy, thanks.. guess i'll just order from the site then. hopefully this one is good cos i bought a custom timbuk2 and one from MEC and haven't been too happy with them.


also thanks to all those that posted the pics of their rides.. i asked to see them but for some reason i never saw the posts until i was reading some older posts. weird.

nice ride 2wg.

hey 2wheels: i think i saw you riding your new marinoni along the lake today - you passed me as i was heading east around 11:00. nice ride indeed and quite a set up from the langster - it's like getting dumped by the a/v club girl then scoring a date with the prom queen! or something...

From street meat to venison.

so to get over my lack of bike, I had to crash some parties in the last few days.


First Tom Ford party (which turned into the gucci after after party). Invite only, but i got in (spilled a drink on goreieo armanie, met tom cruse(or brad pit, cant remember/care), and a bunch of designers(D&G)). then crashed D^2 party tonight, then went to a better (more girls) party...

yup... thats my *i havent been on a bike in 1.5 months* gloat






the races sounded awesome, i am living vicariously through your stories... keep them coming

I have a set of Sugino Messenger cranks coming to me soon, will I need to change anything BB-wise? I figure it should be okay but right now I am running a set of Shimano 600 road cranks and there is a bit of noise. I hope the Messengers solve that....

Stuart, did Tom Cruise hit on you?

What chainline and what bb length do you have right now?

You might need to pick up a 103mm bottom bracket if you are planning to run a chainring on the outer slot. As for the noise, i'm running the same BB with a set of old Sugino GLP's and its pretty quiet. Although my chain is set up with 1" of slack, so that might have something to do with it.

2wg, nice bike! Glad to see you got back on two wheels quickly.

I wish, just older guys, and people from agencies around the world. I just worked my way through the open bar, and looked for under 25 yea old women (which i found none of...).

tom ford is sexy. wish i coulda been there...

2wheels: beautiful. i wish my marinoni would hurry up and get built.

I rode the Conquer Cancer ride to Niagara falls, it was awesome, here's the picture

All of your praise has made me feel very warm and fuzzy inside, and so has my new bike. but i still shudder to think of where my poor langster is right now. cold and alone. confused. it's bar tape half torn off and dangling. be strong li'l langster! be strong. i will find you. people like to talk a lot of smack about langsters but i loved that bike. it was my first fixed gear bike and it's the bike that really got me into cycling. It was my bike during my stint as a courier. sigh...

that jersey makes me want rotisserie chicken.

Gold, Jerry! Gold!
