Bike Forums - Toronto Fixed

Aye but once I'm there my meager savings will be spent on something shiny and new, not something I can afford to do right.

Any of you guys play poker? I'm thinking we could go for spin some weekend and then watch the leafs and play some cards. Maybe even get some bbq battle going between chef school boi and my southern pulled pork before the weather gets too bad...

I am so down for poker, beer, food and riding....in whatever order permits. I am not a chef but can purchase at Cumbraes just as well as the next guy.

Whoever paid that is clearly a hipster/poseur with way too much dinero for his/her own good. I can only hope they ride em on the street and blow em into pieces.

If I had the cash I'd totally do the same thing. Ebay is great when money is no object. Beats buying ******** bike parts than most of the other stuff you could waste money on (like a 1500 dollar meal or bottle of wine)

If this guy is lving in a tiny studio completely buried in ridiculously expensive bike parts while he eats dog food, well, then he has problems.

Oh well...

Hmm... $1500 meal or $1500 Campy parts... Tough decision... :rolleyes:

he spent almost $400 on a cinelli saddle. damn fine lookin'... but not that fine. he also bought NOS grease..hahaha GREASE. the thing i'm wondering about is why he bought something like 3 sets of downtube shifters.

<---- has eaten a 1500 meal but owns no 1500 bicycle parts

But the meal was beyond an experience I will cherish that memory for the rest of my life...and escape to the French Laundry whenever I get a chance.

yeah $5 buy in, just enough so people care without really caring. Its more of an excuse to get together drink, smoke, eat and talk bikes without feeling like bike nerds.

I LOVE those home depot gloves!!!! There's a pair with serious grippies.
I'm not a huge card player but I might give it a try.

Ya, I hope so. I'm looking forward to riding down Harbord every day. That seems like a nice street to commute on. Plus, I'll get to do one of my favourite little bits in the city: the downhill University Avenue time trial to Queen Street.
