Hehh, I wish I knew how to do that (the photo editing, not the jumping around).

somnambulant 11-03-08 04:03 PM

No kidding. I have absolutly no need whatsoever for any of those frames, but its hard to say no to a rush hour at that price. I mean do I really need 3 fixed gear bikes?:rolleyes:

Yeah, my thinking exactly. Does anyone here ride any of those bikes, the Sojourn, the One-Way or the Rush Hour? A 57cm Rush Hour for $190 sounds kinda good, just for booting around, etc....

Hey Ben

For black, all I know off the top of my head are Sugino and Blackspire. The Blackspire monoveloce is an option although they only go as low as 44t in 130BCD and they're 3/32 only. Direct sale on the blackspires is about $56 w/o shipping. They do have some road rings in 130BDC that are black. Not sure what Sugino Messengers go for in TO.

I have a lightly used 42t in what appears to be 130BC in black Sugino, non-bling ring. I'll post a photo of it when I get a chance after I confirm the BCD. I'd likely only want $15 for it.

Elkhide stitchups, look pretty classy and won't run you broke like brooks leather bar wrap.

Yeah me too I'm tempted... it's a nice frame. But with four other bikes in the way I can't.

Part of Raleigh Canada's problem has been low-end bikes. Raleigh USA has a much nicer line-up but, for whatever reason, R-C has never brought them into Canada so you rarely see em up here. Looks like Polly talked em into it. Good frame...good price...local...deal. Too bad he can't get completes.

he's sold a few completes on craigslist for $550 (i think, i know he had a 55 and a 57 blue rush hour listed)
