rrrr RRRRR rrrrrr RRRRRR rrrrr RRRRRR rrrrr RRRRRRR
*crash bang* 17-19 lbs ...that's gonna be a sick ride. Gads I can't believe I'm sitting here at work..... pfffft |
What are you lads doing new years? I'm thinking **** partying i'll just for for a ride.
|
i think i'm too tapped out this year to go partying. i'm thinking of just making some pasta watching a movie and being in my jammies right after midnight. although a rolling-party sounds like fun too.
|
New Years I've no idea about. I'm another schmo who got roped into working this week, so I probably won't be hamming it up too much.
I just spent the past 5 days drinking from wake to pass-out, so I'm OK with not partying too hard :) Passed 9000km last week, a tad shy of the big 10, but not bad - it averages around 1125km/month. She's done well so far, considering. |
pfft. lazy...
|
Flim , you got 72hrs, GIT ON IT 10K!!!!!
|
Haha... I totally wussed it tonight, with that wind I just took the train to Exhibition, 6km < 1000km :p
Got blown about pretty well in liberty village, never come so close to getting knocked off by wind before, that's for sure :) |
Well, I missed Keith by 15min at CS, but I ended up buying a 54cm Major Jake frameset, FSA headset, and Shimano canti brakes. Took it home and *ignorantly* started to install BB cups. Thought to myself: this is tougher that I remember... oh... fuuuc.... this has to be chased and faced, right? ****. So, I screwed the threads on an otherwise good set of BB cups and might have damaged a new scandium frame. I am a fool. Taking the frame back to CS to hopefully have them install new cups after chasing and facing.
|
hopefully you would have just chewed into the paint if the frame hasn't been chased and faced yet.
i need to find a winter bike project - i'm getting a bit bored not working this week... |

I am off on my mini winter vacation to the Muskokas and yes I am bringing a bike. Just realized the other day that this will be the biggest chunk of time off I have had since I broke my back 5 years ago. GOOD TIMES! Happy New Year to all the B.F. peeps. |

Those frames usually come prepped. As long as you didn't force it in too far, it should be fine. Patience young grasshopper...patience.

The best toonie I have spent in ages was at the car wash today; my drivetrain was nasty and I had forgotten what the bike looked like under the grime.

Oh, yeah... My Major Jake is coming together so nicely. All I need now is a new chain, one shift cable, and a cable hanger for the headset. This is gonna be too good.
JW, I'm down with the meetup tomorrow after work. Might also be down for the ride. |

Jeez, I'm dating myself remembering that old ad. |
i'm trying to get motivated to go for a ride despite the weather because i haven't been on the bike in a week! if i don't get some exercise i think i'm going to go nuts. think some of the shops are open today? i know urbane's closed...
|
Alright it's your call, i'm pretty sure i'm riding today, it'll be cold in the evening but at least no more windstorms.
|
Wind was pretty rough from the north today, but the right clothing will have you set just fine - it's just a bit brisk when you first get out there.
Work on NYE boo-urns. |
What freaky act of nature and timing would make it possible to ride snow on the main streets like the side streets had today. I love that snow, I just wish I had longer roads of it to ride on. hmmm I wonder what The Spit is like.
HAPPY NEW YEARS EVERYONE!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY KEITH!!! Here's to massive happiness and successes all round. I am extremely grateful for '08. letsee...... Roman and Parisian vacation with the family that ended with seeing the Tour finish. Definitely a possible once in a lifetime trip though hopefully not. Having my bathroom "home makeovered" by my sister-in-law while we're away. FSA carbon Superlight + Ti BB courtesy of Krusty. I still can't believe my luck. The insane deal I got on the Bianchi ... which hopefully will allow me to further develop a proper business. To all my BF buds, be safe, have a good one, and looking forward to many more rides in '09. Races even? |
happy new years everybody!
|
Working tonight at Muzic was at the very least attractive. Anyone who has been there will know what I mean. And to the girl who felt the urge to adjust her top by removing her breasts then tucking them back in, thank you.
Happy New year all. |
you poor *******. nothing like kitchen work on new years. i hope you came out unscathed. hey - do you remember if i gave you some SS/BMX cogs with the KHS stuff? i thought i had some around somewhere but can't remember what the heck it did with them...
