I hate Suzue hubs
races quickly grinding down
bearings to follow

I'm certainly hoping that the spin I experienced this morning was traction-less spin instead of stripping of hub by cog spin... otherwise I'll have to revise the haiku

And TJ, the Elvish link is here https://toronto.craigslist.org/bik/242572205.html

I dunno, I think it looks cool, protects the frame, makes it less stealable, and finally gave me a chance to use all those stickers I had.

If I want to sell the bike I can take off the stickers... I'm more worried about what people will think about how my dropouts look. Big beefy powder coated aluminum dropouts look gnarly after about 2 wheel changes.

So an off duty police officer is being charged with a DUI and leaving the scene of an accident after hitting a cyclist on Saturday. He's been suspended pending the charges, gotta love the cops.

Edit: I come back to my guy winning the lib leadership (go dion go) and cold. Cold sucks, that is all.

No name, there was a name on the CBC radio story I was listening too but I didn't take note of it.

Bikes: A bunch

someone here should pick up that Elvish, we can have an Elvish crew

oh man, riding home in the Dundas bike lane today I almost died, there was a big section completely covered in ice, I could feel myself slowly sliding sideways as I rode over it, and as soon as I was about to fall over I hit dry pavement again and regained traction.

I was going about 40-45km/h at the time

Lymbzero: when do you wanna meet up so I can toss you some cash.

He came by the shop w/ it ages ago. It's a nice frame, but it's entry level Columbus tubing.

Yeah, that was my guess as well. Maybe it will go on eBay in the spring for 250$USD or so but without a fork it is a real hard sell.

He's in a tricky situation. He paid too much for it (and he knows it) so he's just trying to recuperate his "losses." It's not a situation where he's trying to make a tidy profit. If someone's interested, you might want to contact him and see if he actually has the fork, or if he'd be interested in a deal that involved less money but some extra parts/etc. traded along w/ the cash.

It's in really good condition. He's upgrading to a SuperNova for this season (was going to buy it, realized ****ing Giftmas will put me in debt so no extra purchases).

short people get all the lovin'.. every single nice frame I see is 53cm. And damnit I'm seriously considering buying a Jamis Nova and I'd prefer the 2006 retina-detaching green to 2007's orange.
