Yes true but this baby will NEVER see road salt, along with the rest of the bike!

Wes, I just got home now and saw your flyer, otherwise I defintely would have checked out your band. Also, I think I saw you riding west on College near Bathurst 5ish? I was going the other way, after making a drop at 489 College.

Robin, I'm an idiot I forgot that today was thursday or something. I was planning to go the wheel building clinic thursday but somehow it just didn't come together in my head.

If you are in the area, you should come by the shop and see the track bike build that will nearly be done once I finish this wheel on Saturday.

It's a DeBernardi like Ronin used to have. Should be sweet.

Yeah I don't know much about removing anodizing, but when you're down to bare metal, it's pretty easy. Basically you just wet sand up to as fine a grit as you want to go then wash with soap and water. At this point you'll have a smooth dull/matte finish. Then apply some Brasso (if it's steel, aluminum polish if aluminum), let dry and buff it off. I actually did 4 coats of Brasso because the post seemed to absorb the first few applications. On this bike I have Steel Nitto bars, a nice shiny old Phillipe stem and polished silver wheels (rims/hubs/spokes), polished Campy cranks so the seatpost had to match. As it was an obscure French size and the only one I could find was black I had to apply a little DIY to get the effect I wanted.

OOh nice, yeah I'll try and come check it out Saturday.

emotions run high...

I've always been partial to the Chad Vadar spoofs.

This is a hilarious ironic joke music project of a couple of my friends:

The song "I'm in 2 U" up there right now is so ridiculous and yet really catchy it was in my head all day today!
The really high falsetto voice is my friend James. These guys are hilarious and have a bunch of really funny songs, I hope they put more up on the Myspace. You are all going to hate me when you can't get this song out of your heads!

Wow, first fall was nasty. The finish wipeout was mean. I don't mind trying to get the edge on someone in sports, and have been known to use my stick in an ungentlemanly fashion in hockey in the past, but that was dirty as hell.

i know this isn't the trade/sell thread or whatever, but if anyone is interested in a size medium carhartt jacket (trade/sell or whatever) give me a shout i have a few extras brand new.

on a fixed gear note i totally chickened out of riding tonight when i could have easily done so. i know i am weak...

that's some cold *****, pushing a guy over after coming in 2nd...

:eek:
Wow, the guy at the end almost screwed himself over pulling that dirty move, why would he even risk that?

hahahahaaa... awesome song Dan. :D

click on the "more" link to the right of the video and it gives a fairly detailed account of what happend during the race and the outcome. Swatting someones bars is just plain dirty.

agreed. that's almost worse than a pump in the spokes.

more carnage anyone? he still crosses the finish line!!

i wonder if his time still counts. that guy in pink really got a what for...

Why did you post this**********????

Mitch wont stop ****ing singing it, arghhhhhhhh. LOL

I'm gonna get some mavic ellipses tomorrow... or I guess it is today now.

mmmm they will look nice, black and yellow on my black and yellow rossin :D :D :D

I'll prolly post some pictures

haha I was feebly hoping he'd just land back on his wheels. No such luck.

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan, I am staying in today, I don't want to go out there at all. I just feel cold looking outside. Two more months of this, you reckon?

hahahahahahaha fingers crossed...ive been riding thru tha **** man...love it...as long as your covered up youre good! I used to ride thru winter in Ottawa...that was wayyyyyyyyyy worse! ;)

I have been enjoying the unusual patience and courtesy of car drivers the last few days. Bad road conditions seem to bring out the good in people. It seems now that the roads are semi-passable some have gone back to their errant ways. The goombah thought he was a big man cutting me off in to the snowy intersection...he might have even thought I would fall down. Unfortunately for him I didn't go down and am quite able to match the streetcars speed while taking up the full curb lane. I had my I-Pod on but I could swear I heard some horn honking and screamed obscenities. Good thing it was drowned out by sweet sweet music...my delicate sensibilities cant handle cursing.

The car that tried to pass me by driving into some empty parking spaces must not have remembered that the empty parking spaces were full of snow, because she was about to plow into a big snow bank just before she lurched back into the lane right where I was, forcing me to brace my whole right side against the car and start bashing at the window. The lady went deer-in-the-headlights (Unlike yesterday morning's dude who got out of the car and threatened to beat me up), so I just overtook her and took the lane and made her wait for me to get to the next intersection.

The thing that bothers me about this weather is that cars sit on your ass waiting for the one decent opportunity to pass, or they try to pass when its not really possible to pass and then they have to drop back again. I'm just waiting for a guy to try to pass me and hit some ice and start spinning, taking me out. Or if I lose traction adn go down they don't have a chance in hell to avoid running me over. I move to the side and wave cars past whenever its safe and convenient to do so but these guys don't get it.

Take the lane, and when a car gets too close .... tell them to backTF off. Seriously, wave them off.....it's your life, in bad road conditions. NiiiiceKeith.

finally the true use of the ipod is realised ;):D

I wave them off, but the wind my hand creates is often not strong enough to blow the car back from behind me, so they ignore it and sit on my ass. Maybe I need to work out my triceps? The last time I waved someone off I think he got offended because he buzzed me the first chance he got and then got out of his car and threatened to beat me up.

There's a little bit of smut action at 6:46

Where are you riding to meet such wonderful examples of humanity? I've been sailin' the last couple days and haven;t heard so much as a horn but I've not been allowing a pass at all. They HAVE to fully go into the next lane to get around me, I'm not threading when I do this though.
