the no set back SP 27.2 perchance? SWEET RIDE Dan!!

I got my "application" turned around to me in like, a day. The only question is are we to leave this thread and it's 16 thousand posts for a new forum? :S

Why bother? I'd rather use a public forum that allows for people to lurk and eventually join in on the posting/fun. Having a private forum with an 'application' would greatly reduce that.

Plus, yeah, nearly 1650 pages in it seems wrong to abandon this thread. :)

Yes, you would. The best part is that the fancier the bike you buy, the huger the discount percentage off retail. It'd be stupid NOT to buy the SL version! :)

Thanks for the segue I don't post much here but enjoy reading for the perspectives on urban riding! Plus, I was going to ask if anyone here knows a messenger that rides a geared KHS. Yesterday that guy went all in, head to head in a game of chicken against a bus in the northbound diamond lane on Bay near Gerrard, and won. Bus driver hit the brakes hard. Normally I always contradict knee-jerk opinions from motorists about renegade cyclists because by and large the cyclist usually finds a legitimate gap in the traffic, but this move really took the cake. I have never seen anything like it.

ya man i applied when i saw it cause I thought someone from here made that site...but whateva... i prefer here!

*fingers crossed for test ride action*

Yes, we get enough new folks here to warrant keeping this thread running and lurkers abound, I'm sure. Although I did sign up to check it out, I'm less inclined to make any real contribution to it. Besides, all the cool people are already here.

Agreed. I like the idea of new people coming into the fold (I'm still really ****ing new compared to a lot of people who've been posing here for a couple YEARS), and lurking a public forum is a great way to glean helpful information without having to double post stuff in multiple locations. Plus, this forum already rocks so why switch it up, right?

OT: Metal Gear solid 4 is pure badness

Maybe Rob's just feeling like he needs a back-up forum after his recent bannage.

I'm fine w/ the thread we have. BF.net pulls in a lot of people to begin with and I think that's an easy way for new riders not "in the know" yet to find the rest of the Toronto locals. If a new site was started, how would you go about advertising it to people? "toronto fixed gear" (sans quotes) doesn't return this thread with any efficiency so if someone wants to get their SEO on with a new domain maybe that would make it a more viable option.

Freudian slip? ;)

Pssh, I've been posting in the Toronto Fixed thread for years w/ no fixed gear bike.

Who set it up? (the new site?) oh rob?

The confirmation email I got was from Gerald Gaunty

Paging Dr. Freud! lol

I signed up, but as there's little action there and this place is what it is, I'd still come here anyway so *shrug* I also thought the closed registration process was a bit odd/elitist.

Watched Breaking Away last night, quite fun even with the terrible acting in places :) SS with only a coaster brake looked like danger, though ;)

SomnambuWes: Posing since 2005.

edit: I'm an idiot.

so basically everyone is saying if it ain't broke don't "fix" it?
eh?
eh?.......


no?

in with the pun before dan!

Boo! Go back to your hidey hole! :P

(and no, I wasn't saying Boo-urns)

Let's see ... okay, apparently I've been around longer than I thought.

*shudder*

aren't the somas (rush) made with 631 tubes? that would be a selling point if i were in the market for a new frame.

what's the matter? someone put refined white sugar in your fair trade coffee this morning?

meeeeeeoooowww!!

ha ha, oddly, the other day i was trying to remember what your old username was...

hey - didn't you do a stint riding a fixed gear pake?

Oh no you dint. Actually nice one!

Yeah I think it is called the "P6" or something. It's kind of weird that when the R3's came with FSA seatposts, they had a reasonable amount of setback. When we started shipping 'em with Syntace posts, all of a sudden no setback. It does make a difference! I guess it's a preference thing anyway riding style/bike fit/saddle choice etc.
