curbside has complete steamrollers. the soma delancey is pretty nice too. the geometry is pretty relaxed and it has chrome lugs on the headtube if you're into that kinda thing

We have some at Cycle Therapy if you want to come in for a test ride ... but you have to show up on Wednesday or Friday between 4-6pm so I can confirm that you are in fact real and not just a forums bot.

And they're green! That's almost as cool as soap you can see through.

POS Alert...
The Bike I'm lovin' more than I oughta...
A Raleigh Record that has become the receptacle for orphaned parts from other builds.
put together and locked up at work just for rides in TO.
63 gear inches turning out to be near perfect for messing about in my lunch hour.
Pardon my indulgence whilst I share some pictures taken today.

Man one of those pics almost looks fake from the way the bike stands out from the background.

I am going to swap some stuff out though for reals. The saddle has to go it's a ballcrusher. I'm putting on a standard SLR. Also, I'm not a big fan of the bars that come stock on it. I'm to swap them out for some Dedas. I'm also going to swap out the FS(hit)A cranks for Dura Ace. Nokon housing would be badass. Other possible mod is swapping out the no setback seatpost for a normal seatpost. With that straight one, I'll probably have my saddle jammed way way back. I'd like to hand build some dura ace hubs to some open pros for a hand built wheel set eventually as well.
