That is a sexy bike.

Anyways, rotafix, the pictoral version.

ahyea it is a NICE ride , some of Kingston Road sucks but the rest of the way to the UFO viewing area is great ,, Nice bike you made , I might have have to switch over to recumbent bikes to get the full back support that the Doctors are telling me I need , I like this bike

Have they finished the ramp up to the bridge at Rouge river yet, or do you still have to carry your bike up the stairs?

was'nt done last time I was there but they finished doing the support work on the giant piers that will hold up the ramp. I have been using the rouge valleyhighway #2 run as a bypass

He listed it a couple of weeks ago for more cash, maybe you can talk him down further? I am not sure why but the San Jose doesn't appeal to me; could it be useful for offroad or is it more for a commuter market?

being an admittedly older guy I kinda like the more relaxed geometry, (better for my lower back). I'm kind of drawn to the wheel switch possibilities of the cross as well with the best of both world's in a single frame. I'm guilty of wanting several bikes now though as much as I've tried desperately deny my natural nurturing nature to any and all wayward bike parts that might come my way. It's so easy to suddenly find oneself with an entire wing of the mansion dedicated to all things cycling.

My ideal quiver would be a bike for every use and then some, BUT that's not going to happen unless we hit the numbers. Sooo a SS/fixie flip/flop ripper for street/track and a geared cross ride with an extra set of wheels for roading, and of course the mtb which will soon be SS and then rigid.

Most recently been jonesin' for a bmx with pegs, and bars I can spin.

Theres A Place In Croydon Youve Probaly Never Heard Of It But Theres A Big Set Ramp Parks Down There

Hey, nice to put the name to the face (and bike). It so funny that we know everyone by what they ride. I often think that people I know could walk right by me, and I wouldn't notice without seeing their bike. Well now I know you. I know you very well, whahahahah!

Big fan of the bike by the way.

In other news:
I received $200 of the $350 owed to me by the guy that ran me over (he's paying the rest in a week or two). Cold hard cash baby! And everyone thought I was screwed. Over the last couple of days I took my two ****ed wheels, and trued them back to 75% perfection. Good enough until they pooch out. It took forever. It's bad for the ego, rebuilding screwed up wheels. The whole time I was thinking "Oh man, I've lost my edge. I don't know how to build/true wheels at all". I had to keep telling myself that the mechanic said they were beyond repair, so any resemblance to a functioning wheel was a miracle. I'm good for now, until I figure out what I want to do for wheels.

The chocolate pecan pie I'm eating right now is so good I just had to share. Eff the New Years resolution.

i think that likely goes for most of the folks in this thread/forum/site!

(~3 and counting :love:)

Nice. Anyone riding a fixed recumbent out there? I would love to see that.

Just change the new year's resolution to "eat good food" and you're set :)

As a chef I would love to claim I only eat good food. But every now and then KFC sounds so good. Never tastes good though. Tacos and Choc pie tonight. And some I deal coffee. Am happy now.

If I'd known then what I know now, I never would have sold my Wicked for what I did, assuming he gets asking price

I've got a Trek Subvert 1.0 collecting dust.. :)

I just found this *6* hour radio show completely dedicated to James Brown music. Wicked!

http://wfmu.org/playlists/shows/1853 for the playlist, and near the top, just click 'listen'.

Long live the godfather of soul (and funky funk funk)

Okay, so who's Mark V w/ Level hubs + Dura-Ace cranks was it that one of my regulars bought and showed up with tonight?

Did you tell him there were a bunch of gears missing?

sounds like what rob ("bikeophile" on the forums) rides, or perhaps i should say used to ride. if it's a bright blue frame and has a green brooks then i remember it well.

Oh that's mine...now. Whahahahah :D

Nope, standard paint job w/ a Flite and Deda track drops.

snow ride tonight ?

"From Monday afternoon to Tuesday afternoon we expect : close to 1 cm of snow."

I don't think that justifies a "snow ride" :)

I'm starting to think that this year it might...

I can't believe this weather I spent Sunday sessioning hills in Burlington on skateboards. Totally surreal usually we can't get out much past October and we had like 15+ guys riding gnarly hills all day. Super cool. Its supposed to get cold after this weekend, a northern air mass should move in. But we'll see with the El Nino I don't think any weather model is particularly accurate these days.

Quite sad really.

What a horribly wonderful jersey.

My friend and I 'sessioned' the road going down to bluffer's park a few times this weekend. That hill really takes as much as it gives... We'll see how much easier it gets once I throw on a mountain cassette.

I was hoping that the snow ride wold involve some messiness, and a good reason to ride my MTB SS. Maybe we can change it to "Ride to the beaches, and get tanned"
