Have one for me, I found it on ebay, and noe for some reason I can't find them. Arrrg. Still looking....becoming a quest now for completion.

Hope you finished that beer by now

I helped SweePetes do they inventory, they have 6-7+ diff camelback holder backpack things & a slew of accesories, diff size reseviors and what not, probably on sale today too

Shiz's long lost sister is a pr0n star?

Hey guys, think I should jump on a new 07 kona smoke converted to singlespeed for $350 as my snow bike?

Yes I have that helmet. cycle solutions had one last time I was in there. and you can find them in skate/snow board shops.

Don't you already have a nice Cyclocross bike for winter?

350 sounds decent.

Yeah I do, but its not really 'for winter'. My cx bike is the nicest bike I have and I'm slowly setting it up for long haul touring. It stays locked up indoors and is set up for fast, dry winter riding at the moment... I don't really wanna beat it up and invite rust since its fairly thin triple butted steel.

Hence why a dedicated winter bike appeals to me, especially if they will customize it off the peg for no charge.

Get it. Thats a great price for an off the rack Kona thats good to go for winter. Would be hard to get parts to build one for the same price unless you have a frame ready. Are going to use a tensioner, or a half link? Is the rear wheel a conversion, or a dedicated s/s? Just curious (I have a great s/s wheel available as well that is for sale, excellent rim and sealed hub).

Other options are

or

but this would probably be to small and I don't know if you are looking to do a build.

Edit: The more I look at the Smoke, the more I like it. $350, awesome price.

So last night around 10ish I was riding westbound on College towards this party I'm going to get wasted at... I'm stopped at the red light at Bathurst, and just as the light turns green, I see this chick blow by me on an olive-green fixie with a honey Brooks. Wow! Needless to say, I catch up to her and strike up a conversation, but I mean there's only so much you can say when you're trying to pay attention to her and make sure you don't get run over at the same time.

Does anybody know this girl? Is she on this forum? If so, I want her phone number. I don't know if it was a proper fixie or a conversion, but the bike was definately olive-green, didn't have any decals, looked pretty old, but had a nice and shiny Brooks B17 (or Professional). Oh, and blond hair. And she can really move.

Someone help me out!

Oh, and if it helps identifying her, she said she also rides a blue Ciocc.

Darkmother: I got a flat right at Bathurst and Highway 7 and didn't have any tubes. Worst ride evah!

Nope, no idea.

Tovi: haha

scooped!

oh, you jerk. where do you live? i'm coming over with some Illy in hand.

anyone else pick anything up at the sweet pete's sale? i was there for all of 20 minutes and i still managed to spend money...

EDIT: gots me a pair of "somnambulant boots".

Well, it appears to need a bit of work but I'll get you over for a cup of mud once I've got it fixed up and dialed in. It may be a bit of an older one so I need to check the temperature on it and the seals etc.

Now I need to create a coffee altar in my kitchen for it.

i wouldn't worry about the age; those machines seem to last forever. any price paid for those is a deal based on the amount of time it will last.

can i suggest velvet ropes, insence (sp), and an oil painting of it sitting in the altar?

Bought a Trek Sonic 2006 helmet, 40% off. Fits nice and less uncool than my present cheapo Raleigh. All I was looking for really.

Sexy.

YEAH! This frame would be the ultimate winter bike.
Looks clean.
Too bad there is no fork.

Too bad it's too small for me, I have 3 1" threaded forks begging to be used.

did you happen to see the new trek track / SS complete bike they had in there? looked pretty nice (despite the rear brake cable being held to the frame with zip ties). the kona "paddy wagon" looks like a nice complete bike as well. i saw one locked up on front street complete with rack and fenders; nice design.

my first nice bike was a rockhopper just like that one. i miss it dearly, 1" aheadset and all...

hey are we doing the bike forum --> grow the beard till march 2007 then ride and beers??

i'd say yes to the beard but i may have to go on job interviews soon so i can't promise anything. yes to beers though.

why do i have no responses from my scotch tasting proposition?

I can only have one Pint or two of stout soooo me buying a 26er does not make much sense but it sounded like a fun idea

Tovi, I suggest a good old missed connection....

edit: of all things Apple why does it need to be so damn hard to get the memory access panel open on my G4...ugh
