Yep. I'll have it sometime this Summer in time for some racin'. Some of you penii should come out and race at the CHIN Picnic. It'll be fun!

What's the classification for the CHIN, crit race yes?

yeah, it's a crit. July 1 -- it's a wednesday this year

Sweet good for you :D

There's no citizens class in the CHIN race is there?
Schweet looking ride Wes.

I think there is a citizen class, but I'm not sure. Maybe phone/email/snoop around the OCA website?
Also, random question: will the retailers at the bike show take a debit, or do I need to bring cash around? I'm thinking of getting some new tubulars.

Congrats Wes! Wish I could have come with y'all...

What's the deal with the Speedvagen track bike? I thought that Speedvagen was Vanilla's 'Cross specific line... Either way, it looks incredible. The carbon inlay in the headtube is a nice touch...

Edit: Nevermind - I just read what the difference between Speedvagen & Vanilla actually is...

Many of them take debit. You'll get through the lines faster (or skip them all together) if you have cash.

Passes will come.

If you have any extra one, I can use it.

YOU SIR will be hand delivered one.

I also would like a pass if they're available!

Thanks, I may have a gift for you as well good sir. Still in the market for a dirt drop?

I've got a set of Mavic Aksiums that are always going out of true...
anyone know a good shop to get them retensioned/ rebuilt? (whichever keeps them true...)

Keith @ Cavern Cycles (err, make that Cycle Solutions on Parliament - old habits, etc.) is great with wheels.

Also, I'm back on the road! And off it! WOO!

Awww kitty!

Awww Rob Roy! Very nice looking build.

So I might need to stop taking Christie down to Harbord every morning, because drivers are just getting worse and worse. This morning I'm heading south in the bike lane with a green at Davenport, when the nice fellow driving to my left makes an un-signaled right hand turn onto Davenport, right into my path. I brake hard, but its not enough, so I turn hard right onto Davenport and rub up against his car. This was a ridiculously close call, and I'm getting sick and ****ing tired of fools paying no attention to what's around them.

Also on Christie, south of Bloor and before Harbord, people can't keep their ****ing lane. Cars constantly straddle over the solid white into the bike lane. Some times its so bad, half of their car is in the bike lane. WTF.

Mike the RR looks delicious, and those Aksiums will never die!

I find myself drifting into the lane more and more these days to avoid being hit by right turn drivers.

I'm more partial to calves brains in spinal cord marrow. Scrumptous.

Yep, I take up the whole thing if I have to...they can honk at me all they want, at least that way I know they see me.

+1!!!

remind me never to hit you guys up for recipes

THIS LANES IS my lane, is lane your lane.
If you fück us up I will cause you pain.
I will go fast then slow again,
Slowly slowly driving you insane.
This lane is my lane.

Some asshle in a van drifted far enough into the bike lane overtaking me yesterday that he clipped my backpack before speeding off way over the limit. Part of me even thinks it was deliberate :(

Drivers have been sucky this month. Maybe the winter is making everyone quasi ********
