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.

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.

Yonge north of Eg to Lawrence sucks ****.. Yonge from Steeles to Finch also sucks ****.
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.
Go to court and show receipt for bell purchase on date of ticket = walk.

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!

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.

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.
