Damm thats not good & 117mm bb seems a bit long?

Isn't using the puller the safe way to do it? I'm confused Rob, what's going on over there man?

Jeez....I thought I was helpin' ya out with the frame. Seems to be a bit cursed. Get it to some semblance of rideworthiness and get it down here dude. No offense but I think you need some assistance.

TRaffic Jammer 09-06-06 06:31 PM

This all started with stripping the bolts yes?

operator 09-06-06 06:34 PM

Ok, i'm coming down tomorrow Keith.

TRaffic Jammer 09-06-06 06:37 PM

There is no shame here brother, merely knowledge not gained yet. It's not like you slammed into the back of a parked car.

eyefloater 09-06-06 06:41 PM

It's okay Rob - the new iMacs are out. Mmm ... 24" of goodness. :)

I did that once when I was a little kid. I was looking down trying to diagnose a shifting issue. Then I was lying on someone's trunk. ;)

No shame in getting a pro to help. Shame = pooching away at it until you do some irrepairable damage. Then we would make sport of you. If thinking of eyefloater's 24" doesn't make you feel better, then take comfort that we all love you (in a manly sort of way) despite the fact I'm sure it was you I saw in the yellow T shirt with the froshes.

Froshies are great fun, just walk up to a big group of suitably intoxicated young woman and inquire as to how their first day as an adult is going.

This is the best week every year for me, its just like Dazed and Confused "I keep getting older but they stay the same age"

Beer bust at the moontower tonight

PS:Track day may be a problem as the racing season starts that weekend as well. Details to follow

That was actually a yesterday post and I didn't actually get there. I may be going by tonight though. Incidentally, if you're ever visiting eyefloater and, as I do, asking him the prices of various unusual and unmarked items sheerly for the pleasure of seeing him sweat, stop at Sushi Marche across the street. Extraordinary sushi. super props as they make their own pickled ginger (no industrial red dyes in that stuff) and they do NOT stuff your sushi special with crappy arkshell and clam toes like everyone else seems to do. They were almost insulted when I asked them if they did that... Very good sushi at a pretty reasonable price.

I want to know what love is - Foreigner
Feel like makin' love - Bad Company (he's gotta do the pelvic thrusts in time to the chorus riff)
Fire and Ice - Pat Benatar
Wave babies - Honeymoon suite <--- just 'cause we need some more Canadian content
Follow your heart: Triumph (I'll take extra cheese with that).
I Touch Myself - Divinyls <-- How could anyone forget this classic!!!
Is This Love - Whitesnake (although I've always envied David Coverdale's hair)
When I'm With You - Sheriff (What's up with Canadian bands and power ballads?)
No one like you - Scorpions ('cause we need a bit of continental content)

That's it off the top of my head.

Offhoff 09-06-06 07:46 PM

BOC - Don't Fear the Reaper
Talking Heads - Gangster of Love, This Must Be the Place (Naive Melody), Psycho Killer
Shatner - I can't get behind that [not 80s but GOLD]
Pet Shop Boys - Go West
Prince - Kiss or When Doves Cry or Purple Rain [he drives around toronto in the sickest purple bentley its totally ridiculous]
The Police - Roxanne
Survivor - Eye of the Tiger
Dire Straits - Money for nothing or Sultans of Swing

edit: it's better to go see the pro's instead of spending a week trying to figure out something they could do in 10 minutes. :)

I had been wondering about that place. Thanks for being the tester Cam. I am having sushi tonite.

We get food from there a few times a week - it's incredible.

Anyone want to get together for dinner and/or coffee tonight? Maybe out in the West end? I have to drop my car off to get new tires out in Etobicoke after work and I'll be riding back through the Bloor West Village / High Park / Parkdale areas. Plus my gf is out of town tonight, so I'm on my own for supper and cooking for one blows. :P

edit: sweep: I got an extra ticket for American Hardcore on Sep 13 @ 9:00pm. Let me know (asap) if you definitely aren't going to be able to make it and I'll find someone else.

eyefloater 09-07-06 07:29 AM

http://www.fixedgeargallery.com/revi.../underweather/ <-- UTW bag review on FGG. Haven't read it yet, but it might be interesting to see how they rate the local offering.


Edit: Sigh. I hope to be put out to pasture with the rest of the geriatric hipsters some day (re: FGG).
