Yeah cavernmech is setting me up with a kickass deal on a tube replace. Then i'm not sure, probably rebuild it as a geared roadie and then either getting a fixed rear wheel or getting a totally new build for a beater fixie. I wasn't sure if I wanted to go with a repair given the initial purchase price of the frame but I just liked it too much.

It was fun as hell kicking $5k full carbon bikes up DVP on a fixie.

Frame size wise anywhere I think 54-55cm is about right for me. Or whatever size goki was running on his Nishiki beater (yeah teh beater with NJS stuff).

P.S No cv for me guys

hey, it was the only bar/stem i had lying around! ;) and it's yours until you get your ride back. i'm pretty sure it's a 54. cam would know how big cam is.

Royal Blue?....Oh right...the saddle/bike position trouble. right right. Thanks for the offer but I only go for normal skin colour ass, and I have sampled many colours of the rainbow, but I draw the line at blue.

"Yes Mom?"
"Have you done your stinky a$$ laundry yet?"
"No Mom"
"Well no fun C.V. rides until you do all your chores and laundry!"
"Yes Mom"

Does no one recognize my movie nod?

Joe Bent 06-05-06 05:46 PM

Operator... I hope you take pre and post tube replacement pics.

Have fun at CV, I've still got to make it out to one of these.

There was a cool short at Yasi's on Saturday about NYC messenger chicks, I think it was called Even the Girls. Any one ever see it? Other stuff was more arty, CM, community based stuff. They're doing it again next Saturday, but I don't think I'll be able to make it.

Too late to argue the grade? Sounds like you've got some valid points to bring up.

Yup I will take pics. Even the girls was up for stream/dl a while ago but it's gone now. Not a bad docu.

sr20det 06-05-06 06:30 PM

You can sleep on my couch as long as you wash my bikes every night.

I should be down, unless the hockey game sucks me in, Edmonton is up 1-0 Go Oilers Go.

moi aussi! (minus the camera)

32flavours 06-05-06 06:40 PM

Haha, I'm probably the least excited Edmonton native right now. Although I must admit, the Oilers' success this postseason has begun to rekindle my adolescent love for them.
