There is a reason they dont make em anymore....they break. A buddy bought the integralter stem/bar...busted it in 4 weeks...no warranty. Have heard the same thing with the stems. I wouldnt trust one but they look sweet.

Might be worth a trip to the doc. If it is broken it could be rubbing up against something hence the pain. It often took a long time for mine to heal..kind of depends where on the cage it is I think. If it only bothers you when you sneeze or cough, its prolly o.k. If it bugs you all the time, then I would have it checked out. How long has it been? 2 weeks?

Doh! And I just won it too! If it breaks and I hurt myself, who can I sue now? Maybe eBay, they have deep pockets ;)

Hey it's a pretty cool piece nonetheless....comes with the covers?

why is sniping generally frowned upon anyways? i snipe all the time! haha.
yeah shape, get those ribs checked out. are you covered? company policy? ohip?

Comes with one but there are 3 others that I can buy from here: http://www.xxcycle.com/php/_all/shop...er_pin-ups.php

Now that I've won it, maybe the girly thing isn't so tacky ;)


Yeah, me too, I just hate to be sniped but I don't mind sniping ;)

It's mostly just sore with any "major movement" like sneezing, or getting in and out of bed. But for the first have of today is was just kind of sore/achy at other times as well. I think I must have just spent too much time asleep on that side last night. I'm not having trouble breathing or anything.

And yeah, it's been 2 weeks I think.

Also: did someone in this thread post some sort of CAD-like program for bike building once? I can't find it. You could input all sorts of frame geometry, crank-length, etc, and it would show you a diagram of the bike. Yadda yadda yadda.

Darkmother: I'm looking at you.

Typical healing time would be 4 plus weeks. Perhaps Kim has the "Jimmy Arms"?
I would give it another week unless it gets worse.

Yeah i posted it. You can look through my 1690 posts in this thread to find it.

*ahem*

Well, someone had to do it

Damn it! Doesn't work for me...

Okay, this is important:

This Thursday (30th) there's some silly neighbourhood "event" happening. The shop is participating, but the IMPORTANT part is that we're having mini bike races. We've got a few folding bikes and kids bikes, a few bmx's, etc. and we're taking over the grass lot next to the shop for some night time drunken mayhem. If you've got a bike that's too small for any respectable adult (bmx's 20" and under allowed) feel free to bring it out and race that ****. The beer fridge will be in full effect if you want to bring some stuff and keep it cold.

MINI BIKES!!!

PS. 6-10pm is when this is all happening. I'll be racing any little kids that want to participate, so expect me to be in a bloody pile by 8pm (I figure I'll have to throw some races to make everyone feel good).

Which neighbourhood, which grass lot?

Leslieville, 1114 Queen St. East.

OMFG!!!

Try in firefox?

ps. thanks for the link, Mike.

That doesn't sound like a fun time at all. Kind of strange that it is getting worse after two weeks. Maybe get it checked out-sitting in the hospital sucks, but then again, so does work.

Ummm...you were hiding under the pile of paper that is my desk?

sorry to hear your down, if ya need help with something let me know.

After 2 weeks I would be a little concerned. I broke a few last year playing rugby, and eventaully had to get muscle relaxer shots from the E.R. and this was in India and it takes ALOT to get me into an India hospital) Seems the ribs made me sleep funny and after a few weeks the muscles started to spasm and sieze. Not fun.

I busted ribs sailing once and it took a month before I could do anything without pain, I would definitely get a doc to take a look at it there is a lot of things for a broken rib to puncture, bruise, tear or lacerate. Even if nothing is wrong besides some swelling/bruising it will take down your level of concern and stress.

I'm off to surf for the weekend, they tell me it will be cold when I get back...I hate that.

^^^ screw you surfer boy^^^ :lol: *mad jelous*

hahaha so who replied to this. five bucks says keith did. oh wait, she says she likes super thin guys.

nah, that is hot. So hot that it must've been posted by a guy.

No girl would've posted that.

rob, check it out and report back!

Thanks for the advice guys.. The ribs actually feel a bunch better again today, so I think I was right in my theory of just sleeping weird on Monday night. I'm going to take Keith's advice and if they're still bothering me after this weekend I'll make an appt with my doctor.

Also, does anyone know if any shops are carrying Reload bags here? I want to check out their backpacks.
