Man, if it was a 54,53, or 52, I'd snatch it right up.

track update: I was talking to Mike and he said that starting Oct 9 the Winter schedule will be in effect. That includes track 1 sessions every Saturday morning, except the 4th Saturday of every month (when he holds the Track Combo session). That means that it won't be possible for us all to go and do the combo stuff in the morning and track 1 in the afternoon because the track will already be in use in the morning. In addition to that, the track combo session for October only has 1 open spot at this point.
The only thing he could suggest is that we all play hookey on a Friday sometime, and as long as we can get at least 4 people for the combo and 4 for track 1 then we could have the place to ourselves for the day. I don't know how likely that is though with everyone's schedules. HOWEVER, I imagine if we could do that we could actually do Track 1 in the morning and then the combo in the afternoon (instead of the usual, which is the other way around). That means the newbies among us could get totally caught up in 1 day.

holy moley.. i never even knew there was a regional subforum. i just checked it now and there are some toronto-related posts..mcbride cycle sale in particular. i wonder if the posters there know there's a slightly larger toronto thread. op's right, it has zero traffic. i'm against moving this thread. i like 500lbs gorillas. this thread's T.O, but it's also fixed-gear specific.

Any of you guys actually buying those nashbar hubs, click on coupons at the top and use the 10% off. That should definitley get you under the $20 for the order. Sadly I only remembered this morning after I placed teh order.
That would be this coupon code here: https://www.bikeforums.net/showpost.p...29&postcount=2
Edit: Looks like the page for teh hubz is gone already. GG.

Does anybody have one or two of these 26.0 cross levers that they want to sell?
it can be tektro, cane creek, salsa, or whatever just as long as it's the same design.

Is it the same design as the tektro ones?
How much do you want for it?
