ps. I think OLN coverage starts at 8:30, not 8:00. Makes it a little more difficult to catch any action before work if you start at 9:00. I could go in as late as 9:30 (Summer hours), but I'm only seeing 1/3 of the coverage that way, so I don't know if I'll bother.

Is it just the rims? How good a price is it? I snagged a set of gold deep v's on eBay for 90$USD shipped, which I figured was a good deal. What size frame do you need?

Yeah just the rims. $90 usd is the going retail from online 'tailers before shipping. I can never find 700c deep v's even on ebay. None that aren't crazy expensive. The 26" versions of the ones I want are like $50 BIN for both rims. :|

Dang mountain bike stuff.

Hey Y'all - Just introducing myself. Somnambulant told me about this place...it's cool.

Presently I reside outside of the city (commence suburban slagging) - but I'm moving [back], [back] I say - to TO (apt hunting tommorow).

I've been riding a fixed for 3 months now, and...well...what the hell was I doing before?

You may spot me around as I'm in the city most days. I ride a Surly with a green CK headset and a Steamwhistle opener where a bottle cage should be :-)

I've started posting on flickr under fisso416...check my pics out.

Welcome if there’s one thing this group likes doing its riding fixed not always together but try time to time.
Are you riding a steamroller?

Welcome. If you're looking for around Aug 1, there's a couple 2 bedrooms opening up in my building (read **Very cheap** although utilities are extra) which is at Dundas and Jones.

I don't slag suburbanites; I pity them their bland and homogenous existence (cue Rush Subdivisions).

Swep242 - Yah I'm on a steamroller - so far so good. I had a crash so some part are newer than others. I don't have anything to compare to...but it's been good. I spend most my time rethinking my componentry if anything.

cavit8 - I'm looking for a (1) bedroom or a bachelor...unless the price is really good ( I like that area). Re: Bland existance - yah! I don't know how to say it any other way...yah! I've been between the burbs and TO most of my life. It's now time for a permanent change.
