You can get them in humungo sizes if the shop orders from QBP.

That's electronic dura ace, i think some riders were using it on the tdf this year ... automatically adjusting derailleurs, supposidly perfect shifts, etc ... those are the selling points anyways

There's still standard dura ace though

Is it possible to hook up the new dura ace to run off a generator hub?

I don't if I got the biggest, but they fit fine with my 11 size feet with big winter boots.

I picked up my Ciocc from Byers-Bush and the results are pretty good but it is far from their best work. There are a couple of spots that will need touching up near the BB but I can live with that. I applied some decals tonight and I will have to find a bodyshop or something to apply a couple of clearcoats so that the decals don't get mucked up like I know they will in Toronto.

Here is how she looks now, I haven't decided whether to use black or yellow to fill in the embossd "Ciocc" on the fork crowns and seat stays, any suggestions? I *might* get some Ultegra/Open Pros in the new year, we shall see.

damn! That is super pretty. I can't wait to see that built up !!
I'd go with the matching yellow for the cutouts
or I can totally imagine a lavender purple. mm...

If you can match the yellow perfectly, I'd go that route. But if it's not a perfect match I'd throw the black on there.

Don't look at me! I keep mine in order with bacon fat, melted cheese and bike grease

(they do have moustache wax at the barber shop at Bay/Dundas though)

Try Truefitt and Hill. Scotia Plaza, 40 King St. West, Street Level 416-214-4646
They should have it but you'll likely want to call first. Toronto Barber and Beauty Supply at 100 Dundas West might, but they can be a little light on men's stuff.

Jet, go with yellow in the pantographs. If you don't like it you can always put black over top of it. Harder to go the other way.

I was going to suggest black, but this is a great point

Frame looks great

Was watching "Roam" on youtube and I'm seriously starting to lust after a mountain bike. Gave it some thought and after careful consideration, I'm staying away from youtube....


Also worth nothing, this is one of the coolest songs I've heard in awhile

Anyone notice on the Martin-Goodman trail down by the Boulevard Club, they've sheared those 'dodge city' posts down to the ground? There's now half as many and you don't have to go through kinda sideways anymore. Actually, in a number of places along Lakeshore they've taken posts out. This an official 'Bike Friendly' thing or subversive urban planning?
