Yeah, that is one damn nice looking bike. That one last week on eBay was nice but the sloping toptube on yours just looks wicked.

|
Get you pumping your upper thighs into your chest.... that's the way to go..:lol: You can never drop too too much. heehee
|
hmmm... seems like I may have a superfluous almost brand new nitto jaguar alloy stem. I can't be bothered to get 25.4 road drop bars to fit in it, and I don't want to put mountain bars into it. And I only have one threaded fork bike.
|
Just looked back to see the Small Bikes are tonight... I'm hangin' with the kids as my lovely is going to her company festive soiré.
|
Shiz how much you want for the stem? BTW sun and surf beats toronto anyday.
|
well...ya!

oh yea? 23 ain't too fat. man just looked at it again, it's like 3mm from the tube, in the outdoor full bike pic you can harldy see the gap.
I can fit the tip of my pinky finger in between my tire and frame |
My secret is that its actually a touring frame I crashed badly into the side of a bus.
PS. I was at the property management expo today and I noticed there was a mapei booth so I grabbed as much free stuff as possible. Anyone want some cycling related epoxy grout samples? |
Shiz you gonna tell me if you want to sell that stem you have little use for? The tides changing and I've gotta surf soon
|
I dunno... I hadn't really given it much serious thought. You really need it that soon?
|
Nope but whenever you do give it thought keep me in mind. Enjoy the weekend all.

What to do, what to do. Seems my employeers decided I was underpaid forthe past 3 months and paid me retroactively today. After paying off large debts, seems I have about $500 left to blow on bike stuff. The dilema is, do I get a nice hub and wheel build and fix the sexy beast, or buy a complete bike (or close there to). I could get a fix all done from Cyclemania for that price, or try Cavern, I think Keith has a fuji in my size for $500. I love the Wheeler, a great ride and I've put lots of work into getting it set up as a bombproof s/s, but it would also be nice to have a bike I can ride and not worry about which part needs fixing or replacing.
Help. |
From someone claiming that they saw the Galvez accident:
posted Yesterday I was there on Saturday night, on what should have been a fantastic weekend with family and friends. At 12.30am (Sunday morning), we left Kuipke shocked and saddened at what we had just seen happen. I have to say that the medical teams, who actually were the red cross, seemed woefully inadequate, and it took them approximately 5 minutes to get a defibrilater to Galvez. The equipment needed was not even at the trackside. The poor man then had the indignity of being plunged off the stretcher onto the floor as they tried to run with him. In what is a premier sporting spectacle, surely the medical situation has to be looked at in the future. Fortunately incidents like this are rare, but in cycling there is always a risk. The initial moments after a crash are critical. Unfortunately they seemed to be lost, with a lot of headless chickens running around no knowing what to do. Our thoughts go out to the Galvez family, in what is obviously a most distressing time. I hope it is something I never have to witness again. Unless you ride and race a bike, I dont think you can comprehend the sight of a rider lying on the floor with a doctor pumping his chest and performing CPR. RIP Isaac |

Help. If you want fixed gear, then I'd first check at cavern to get that fuji, then I'd consider one of the khs flite 100/mercier messenger/spicer bikes. I love my flite 100, but the drivetrain and wheels that came on it were pretty junky. PS. 500 dollars burning a hole through your pocket is not a dilemma. |

I pretty much got as excited as him when he showed it to me in the catalogue and said it was only 520 bucks MSRP!

You gotta ask him about it. That sounded funnier in my head. |

That sounded funnier in my head. |
I knew he was special when he spent 15 minutes with me digging through piles of tires so that we could find a 25 dollar set he took off a complete bike a few months earlier. I was about to give up before him, but he kept looking and found them. He definitely has his work cut out for him down in that basement.

Help. The fuji looks ok, great out the door price & ready to go. Add parts later down the line as needed. The e-bay bikes by the time it gets here it would be over 5 bills. Keep an eye on c/l but by the time you see one you like your money will be long gone. I also remember cyclemania Danforth having budget fixies. But take a look at urbane for there brand & the KHS 100 witch is great. Cheers Always remember Two is better then one. |
