So cool beans! I just found out my Miele is made of Columbus SL and was manufactured in 1990. T-Mar is a ridiculous resource.

What is tmar? Do you just plug in your serial number at a website somewhere? I've got a few miele frames I wouldn't mind carbon-dating...

Man, whoever said Yonge st. north of Eg. is awful a few pages back wasn't wrong... I used it to connect Broadway to Glencairn as I was heading home via Yorkdale, good grief it was horrible. Glencairn is lovely as always to ride across, though.. so that and my date made up for it

Stopped by Lake Devo tonight but I guess DSR starts at 8 rather than 9 these days, so I bimbled home shortly after realising I wasn't going to see anyone.

Rofl - it's more where your ass sits on the saddle. Neutral the seat on a regular setback seatpost and go from there.

Only if you like blowouts. It should be really loose on a 700c rim, if it'll hold it at all.

Bikes: Devinci Tosca, IRO Rob Roy

Dear used market guys,

My warranty replacement Devinci Tosca frame came in. I checked the geometry and it's still not the best fit for my no-torso/long-legged self so I'm going to sell it and put that money toward at Ridley.

My question to you is what's a reasonable asking price? Brand new aluminum CX frame, hand-made in Quebec. Comes with a used carbon fork (aluminum steerer tube, disc brake tabs) and a used Ritchey Pro integrated headset. Please toss some numbers out that you think would be fair (for me and for potential buyers).

Thanks!

50% of retail for the original frameset. You got a couple of years out of that, right?

Hrm. That'll take some research. It was a 2006 ... okay, retail for just the frame was $550.

wow finding a used rear wheel legit is HARD in toronto.

went to the usual suspects:
George (parts unknown)
Mike (the bike)
they both pointed to:
Shannon (no zombies)

and yah, no one wants to give up a round, non-damaged rear wheel.

i guess they hang on to them and install them onto bikes to flip... no qualms there, i mean if that was my income, i would do that, too.

What are you looking for again? A 27" wheel? I have two with 5-speed cassettes on them - they're off old heavy bike-boom era bikes, but if you need one you're welcome to take. Let me know.

Pyze, can I pick up those parts tomorrow after work maybe? Then I can swing by Cycle Solutions on the way home and get any other miscellaneous giblets that are required.

Nah I don't have any spare 700c wheels. Just the two 27" rears.
