I know most of you guys have posted your T.O. rides at some point in this thread, and probably in the show-your-bike thread, but they are all scattered, and who really wants to go searching around for that stuff. Plus I'm bored. It's cold, and I need some bike lovin' from my computer.

Let's have a nice localized show-your-bike, and maybe a pic of yourself. I bet I have seen you guys around town at some point. I'll go first

My Fixie:

And the schmuk who rides it:

Let the games begin!

Oh, and while we're already doing stuff that people hate, let's go around the room,
and say something about yourself, and a hobby that starts with the first letter of your name :D :eek: -->barrrrfff

Oh ****. This is going to get embarassing.

It is the carrier solvent that is toxic. The remaining protective goo is not. I know what you are saying as far as a "need" to resort to this stuff. But I have seen quite a few steel bikes with chainstays full of rusty pinholes in my day....not terribly common but it does happen. For most people spray oil or the like is probably sufficient....but if you are on a super sweet ride perhaps the extra effort is worthwhile?

No face shot but here is my Colnago conversion:

Nice! I totally want an all black stealth bike.

uhh.. some shenanigans at the ride for heart last summer...

Gokiburi, I was hoping you'd be the big motherlover, but I'm guessing not. What's that sweet bit of red and white goodness you're on?

Agreed! nice ride. I would remeber if i saw that bike around. My roomie says it's a sonnino track. She sees it all the time.

you lost me on motherlover for a sec, heh... actually, that's a co-worker and good buddy of mine and we're both still stuck at work at this ungodly hour. i've ALMOST got him coverted to ss/fg but he doesn't have a ride. we'll try to remedy that in the spring.
the red and white is the sannino which i've been chastised for riding in this weather. :D you should see it with fenders!!!!

I'm in the midst of acquiring cash to buy an IRO frame. Although I might just cave and buy a Fuji Track.

As well you should be chastised! Fenders...

You owe me a case of Black Black for the beater frame.

I hope to meet all you guys someday.

Anyways, here's me at warden and warden on our way to lake simcoe:

This is my first fixxie I'm trying to build up thanks to raygunner.

and I think i'm going to drop by Cavern Cycles tomorrow for the first time whoo!
I'm excited.

Damn, that's a fine-lookin' frame ...

Thanks eyefloater.
Post a picture up of your bike! I want to see it.

and thanks for all the help so far!

What bike? I just hang out on these forums ironically - I actually can't stand anything related to cycling.

Can't wait for a massive group ride.

Bikeophile's been MIA for a while hope he's doign alright.

haha, your killing me.
but... if this is true...
zomg I think i'm going to file for suicide or something.

Yea, I've been meaning to ask bikeophile about those frames he has and also about the level hubs.
Oh well.

I think Rob's just changed jobs. He's still hopping aroudn though.

I'm so confused. Changed jobs? does that mean no more www.bikeophile.com :eek:
*I may be wrong but I'm under the impression that the user bikophile was the owner and creator of bikeophile.com *

Thursday / Friday might not be the best days to ride:

THAT is what i am coming home for the holidays to? geez...actually, i expect it to be a lot fun, since it does not snow where i am now!

where i am coming from...

hm..i know exactly where that warden/warden is.. lake simcoe is a nice place to ride to, i do that too (but just go straight up bayview, i'm on bayview/finch)

sd

He is the owner/operator of Bikeophile....which is still goin strong. He has a regular job as a postie as well, workin crazy hours. For the record all the frames we had made have all been sold. We are shopping around for another builder as the first guy we used was an a$$clown. We will keep ya posted.

Interesting. I didn't mean to imply that frames *can't* rot out, it's just never happened to one of mine. Yeah, if you've got a really sweet ride, go for it-just be careful with that solvent:)
