Bike Forums - Toronto Fixed

anyone have leads on a cruiser-type/60s/70s tandem? my sister and her fiance's wedding gift -- why does it seem like every pair of married bike nerds wants one of these?

thanks! caniceleung @ gmail.com or PM.

canice - try this link to craigslist, it may be something worth looking into.

I seem to recall you getting a pretty good deal on some rims a couple years ago. thanks to math and the weak human mind. :innocent:

That was the Spring Show, and yeah it was a sweet deal. I sold those rims for twice what I paid as well.

Aiiieeee! Don't think I'll be making it either, didn't get up on time and my parents leave today AND I might be trekking down to Niagara Falls in the afternoon.

The wise words above about going with something in mind kinda threw me off, too - as I don't have anything really in mind, I'm scared of unloading a bunch of cash on stuff that's "nice to have" rather than "need" :p

Thanks again for the pass deally TJ , if I decide to go, I'll drop by TBJ for one fo' sho'.

yeah, there wasn't much unless you were looking for a complete road or mtn. bike.

had brunch at the swan afterwards. huevos rancheros ftw! so yummy. one of the servers had a tattoo on her arm of a man giving a woman the heimlich maneuver.

picked up a new repair stand (my old one broke a few months ago) and some winter gear

that was my first time going, did a quick run through, which wasn't bad, but by the time i got out of one of the lines it was packed

man, it was brutal at the show today.. way too many people trying to cram into vendor stalls that were much too small.

savages!

hope i'm not interrupting the conversation, but i just re-located to Toronto and don't have a firm grasp on the bike shop scene here.

i'm looking for some riser bars, around a 500mm length, Nitto preferred. any leads would be appreciated!

Wicked day today. Had a great time and feel pretty good except for the sunburn on my nose and lips.

Pulled a Wes when I got home.
2 slices of pizza
1/2 tuna panini sandwich
veg and dip
toasted bagel and western cream cheese(the worlds best cream cheese)
stuffed chicken breast with mashed potato and carrots.
bowl of frozen yogurt

Now for some coffee.
