my brother has extra purple water bottles if you want ??

Does that mean i'm riding... Cam... ? Ohuh...
NOooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Glad it was a good time. Tour De l'ile...good god what a time to be there. The single largest cycling event in the world is that thing.(in the book of records no less) as upwards of 80,000 bikers go for a jaunt around the island. I swear the island tips when they all get to one side.

As for gearing I rode with a bmx freewheel in the back, 14 I think.... dang lotta years ago. I want to say 46-14.....48?... I climbed pretty well so maybe 46, but I could sprint 50k+ish on flats. There were a couple fixed riders back then messin' , settin the wayback machine Mr Peabody. It's been sooo many years since I've ridden MTL and climbed from Old Montreal up to the hospitals...... you made me miss it... Thank you. :)

i think i'd need a purple saddle, bar tape and housing before i go that far but thanks all the same.

matchy matchy

he has a purple saddle and tape if you want but I think he'll want cash for those

if i were a real BF member i'd have matching purple deep-Vs...

who's going to the CV ride tonight? (it's tonight, isnt it? someone said it was!!)

i'm thinking of joining, but i have a ss, not a fixed! forgive me :D

that's okay thanks; i just bought fresh tape for it and i love my brooks b-17, so i'll live with the black on purple look.

we'll forgive you even if you ride a geared bike. but, uh, the rule is you have to bring beer for everyone...yeah.

just playing with you dude:roflmao:

Haha, hahahahhaha not me!!!

Well I know that Flav will be there, and so will I. I have a feeling you will be, so that's 3. Also Vet Youth will be fo sure, and if you're bringing beer, you can probably expect at least another 10

i plan on being there with a beer or two. everyone bring one can / bottle of their favourite and we'll swap. who's in?

where we meeting? honest ed's at 10?

If Edmonton dispatches Carolina without the need for overtime I'll be around for CV, still honest ed's parking lot as the meet-up?

Beer?!?!? I'm coming!!

sorry, don't mean to hijack this thread (hahah) but here are 2 nice bikes on craigslist:

tiny fuji track $450.. 2003 i think:
http://toronto.craigslist.org/bik/167257273.html

cinelli super corsa: $750 bling bling
http://toronto.craigslist.org/bik/167253150.html

not sure if someone posted this already:

about the police bike registry: (..or lack thereof)
http://www.cbc.ca/toronto/features/f...ng/police.html

So 10pm in the parking lot at Honest Ed's?

Any chance it can be earlier than 10 for those of us who aren't downtown?

That Cinelli is sweet. I used to have one and loved it. Prolly has horizontal drop-outs as well. $750 for what is on it is very reasonable. OP? you watching? That has Operator written all over it.
$450 for a 2002 bike? Save up another $100 and buy a brand new one.

bling bling schwiiing

People who don't live downtown aren't really people :D

waiiit a minute? CV = beer? :D i thought it was some sort of group ride?

it sounds like a uh....parking lot alcohol fest!!! :p

Can I join in on the CV? I'd like to meet some of you T.O. fixers in person. :)

it's a group ride, but i think i lit a fire in some people when i suggested we bring beer along to quaff mid ride or after or whatever. i just like beer is all.

looks like rain from where i am; if there is water coming from the sky, i'll probably stay home otherwise it's H.E. parking lot at 10 for me.

****, man if I had $750 right now, i'd be all over it :|

CV! kick ass!

Question: What's up with the cards in fixie spokes?
