What time's it actually start? I might be up for a lightning round "as soon as it opens" loop through before work.

Speaking of work ... *zoom*

I wouldn't mine going extra early so that I can take a quick look at the bikes in the city of toronto auction
http://www.toronto.ca/your_city/auction.htm


Timing will be tight though, as viewing starts at 7am, bidding starts at 10:30am,the bike show starts at 10am, and its impossible to know when the bikes will actually be auctioned and how long it will take. Still, I'd like to pop in just in case there is like some colnago with full c-record for 5 bux.

I just looked down at my ipod and assumed I must have read this song title wrong, but no, apparently I didn't..

5 dolla Colnago? Yeah right.... :rolleyes:

I'm sure there will be other cycle gurus lurking the auctions and watching for hidden gems...

It would be a pretty sweet score though...

well, I think using two quotes by the great one would be appropriate in this situation:

A good hockey player plays where the puck is. A great hockey player plays where the puck is going to be.

You miss 100% of the shots you never take.

Hay we got moved! Oh well.

Good idea [165]. Everybody else doesn't need to see our thread at the top constantly because we are obsessive compulsive posters. Its kind of like a sticky for us since its RIGHT at the top. As long as we post in it constantly, our thread will always be listed as the most recent post on the SS/FG main page

A new forum to DOMIN8

somnambulant 10-18-06 02:27 PM

bahahahaha.. "Spokane Represent" -> Replies: 4

I'm thinking Moonbean (where did you expect me to suggest?) at 9:00. And leave for the show promptly at 9:30. There's an open house of the new bmx park out at Bloor/Dundas W on Saturday as well, which might be fun for a larf after we're done at the bike show.

This sucks, have class on Sat, then a wedding to go to. Why do people have to get married on a weekend. Ruin bike shopping day. Of course my wife is happy I can't spend this months rent on something "unimportant". Shesh. Silly girl, bike stuff is anyways important.

Not bike stuff. That's going to change though. Need some stuff to get the winter beater fix on the go. And a new bb for the single speed, a rear axle and spacers, and 2 tubes, and a tire, new crank.....

pyze-guy 10-18-06 06:26 PM

So I check ebay (now have internet at home) for bikes and this is what greets me.

Too funny you saw that too?
Holy crap eh!
I found three of them separate auctions but every time i refreshed it was gone. did you click on it? I did to see what happened scary ***** I bet there was lots of peeps filling in the log & password.

Danhalen 10-18-06 07:25 PM

Hey guys remember when I *didn't* post pics of my new Miele Fixed conversion? Well the bike is dead already. NO I did not hit something (before someone asks). One of the seat stays just snapped off from the seat tube while I was riding. I rode on it for a while and it felt weird but I couldn't figure out why! It's pretty rusted inside the tube and I'm afraid the rest of the inside of the frame might look like that too. I wish I could post a pic (my camera it appears is toast), it just snapped clean off. I guess I might take it to Malcolm at Biseagal to see what he says but I think i'll probably just junk the frame. I got a good week out of it at least and at least it was free. I have a complete bike just need a frame.... I'm kinda bummed, but ultimate it could be a good thing, I'm going to get a proper fixed/track frame now, which hopefully will ride even better. What a weird day. Some other dude at work (i'm a courier) got his bike stolen and my friend got hit by a car too.

I’ll explain a bit. so i go to ebay.com/cycling on the top of the page a smoking chick showing her ass in a g string is the pic the item was collage foot ball tickets you click on the item & it redirected you to some page that looks kind of like ebay but so not. So the same thing happens two more times but topless chick’s both times. So it was a bit funny to go on ebay & see topless chicks in the cycling part. But it’s not so funny that a person can do that. Redirecting you & asking for log & pass.
Cheers

Dude that blows. You may want to check over the frame first to see if any other tubes are going to fail before you get that one thing repaired. Or you can look for a new frame...

There is a nice looking and rust free Miele on CL today. It is my size but I have enough bikes and one Miele already.

Joe Bent 10-18-06 07:51 PM

Today's instalment of weird restaurant names. On Eglinton w. of Bathurst, wait for it...........Sado Sushi. Needless to say I did a double take when I saw it.

Dan, I have a Raleigh Record 57cm frame you can have. It needs a bottom bracket (and pretty much all else). I was getting around to getting Keith to get a spindle for it, but you can have it if you want.
