yo shiz...thats BS he should give you the full greeting back...no infidel would give the greeting thats the point...I was taught if someone says it they part 'a the team...nah I mean?;)

I cook dinner every night.. leftovers for me most days. Otherwise I buy stuff in the market or on Baldwin.

Actually, I like the people I work with and we go to tasty places. It's not a "working lunch" thing, it's us taking a 2 hour lunch and acting like idiots every Friday afternoon! :) Today we had a plethora of west indian food (oxtail, curry goat, ackee/salt fish, etc).

Looks like a junior/velo-kid. I wouldn't laugh tho...he looks pretty serious. There is one kid down there on a super nice Colnago...Mavic wheels....and he burns it up there. Be happy you don't have to race him.

cavernmech 09-22-06 01:28 PM

LMAO! Provincial Champ tho.

You needs a blue star to moderate. The red star might go w/ your Alpha Flight costumes better, but the blue stars are the ones w/ the power.

TRaffic Jammer 09-22-06 01:39 PM

I like his Ontario Jersey.... nice CC reference Shizy

Hey if I was Provincial champ I'd be waving the flag too.

somnambulant 09-22-06 02:14 PM

posting giant images in online message boards makes baby jesus cry

TRaffic Jammer 09-22-06 02:32 PM

That's silly. The baby Jesus has all the bandwidth and simply doesn't care. There are no prayers for dialup users.

operator 09-22-06 05:37 PM

It's not the bandwidth, it's the monitor resolution. Even 3 x 17" setup does nothing for that. On that note.

1) Anyone know a place (!Urbane !Cavern !Curbisde) that may have a 110mm square taper bb in stock? Suggest places with no attitude and reputable k.
2) Or should I get a 107 bb and space it out 2mm? Or get a 107bb and space it out 3mm?

help

you were at cavern already silly, why didn't you just buy one there!

they gave you attitude at urbane? hm...

i picked up a 110bb from my (extremely) local bike shop, west side cycle on roncesvalles. although, it shouldn't be too hard to find. i'd say get the right size instead of playing around with all that spacing stuff...

operator 09-22-06 07:55 PM

No no the mentioned shops were great but no stock :| Does anyone know if the black iro cranks are anodized black? Was thinking of running this stuff http://www.jestcoproducts.com/Jestco...ze_remover.gif
per fixed gear gallery instructions here.

http://www.fixedgeargallery.com/articles/polishing/

West side cycle. Hmm. <- Lol their website. They indented stuff with white font PPP's. Whoever did their website needs to be shot.

Shiznaz 09-22-06 08:50 PM

Just leave your parts as they are!

operator 09-22-06 08:57 PM

I don't like words on my parts.

eyefloater 09-22-06 09:01 PM

What if they were spelled like teh interweb, though?

operator 09-22-06 09:06 PM

I'll do it if you can replace the IRO with TEH on my cranks!! Or better yet FTW.

eyefloater 09-22-06 09:17 PM

I really think you need some help.

had no idea they had a website, i always assumed they were just around to serve the local community. anyways if you're in the west end, it can't hurt to pop in. ask for william, he owns the place (nice guy). oh, and they carry Soma track stuff, including frames wheelsets and steel bars.

jeremywhitehorn 09-22-06 09:36 PM
