I have almost the whole set in my apartment except for the landscape one of the whole group, which is at Bike Pirates now. I absolutely love them. The Hincapie one actually has crackhead blood on it from a bungled Cycle Therapy break-in.

Sure, I'll be at the house most of the afternoon, if I head out for any reason I'll leave the stuff on the porch and let Kathy know. 243 Milverton.

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.
Horrible ride isn't it. You would think the new paved part would be be smooth. Guess it is to encourage cyclists.

I assume you're still AWOL ... or rather, swamped with moving into your new place. Whenever you're back on teh internets get in touch please so we can work out a day for me to grab those parts off you. Thanks!

Anyone know where I can get a reasonably priced 12-25 road cassette? Tiagra or 105 level is all I need.

9 speed. I saw that on PBK, but they aren't in stock. I'm not in trouble yet, but it's getting there where I'll have to switch both my chain and cassette, so I figured I should have something in stock.

MEC carries cassettes, and they're pretty damn cheap.

Good call on MEC. I knew they didn't have any on their site. But, they don't have a 12-25 in stock unfortunately.

Kergin...your wheel is ready. FYI your front hub would work better if you put 10 bearings in each side rather than 9 in one side and 11 in the other.
