Got another entry in bikeforums greatest hits.

Wes, i sketched out my high park training route to the best of my abilities on gmaps.

this route takes into account a nice switchback climb and a long steady climb north of the kingsway. it's hard to follow on the map, i'll have to show you some time.

For to give away
1 - 26" XRim SZ by Alex. No axle or cones etc., rear thread-on hub and wheel only. Needs truing etc.
1 - 700 cc Weinmann 519 Rim - solid axle with thread-on hub, newish bearings, needs truing.

Either suitable for a SS beater etc.

Cool, thanks! I'll have to give both of those routes a go sometime.

ps. Just went for a 30 minute spin around downtown and man it's sticky out. Now I'm back at my desk all swampy.

Wow, someone else who has seen beat kids. That show disturbs me in many a way.

Well as of lately he has posted some amazing photos of great bikes, most of witch did not have females on them.
But the ones that do have females on them well all the better. So self contrived well yes, pointless um hell no & self indulgent um hell yes.
Kind of perv, um hell no.
All in good fun.

Anyone going to go to this? Open to all bikes

Nadir was telling me about that the other day.. I might stop by with LaCamerra. :P

Anyone know how much it is to race?

Is there a date on the GW alleycat or am I just too stupid to notice...

No there was no date I had to backtrack to the blog, March 21st

So they're going to get a bunch of stray cats and somehow convince them to race simultaneously in 4 different cities? Someone please explain this to me. :D

Hormones and mind control me thinks.

This guy might be looking at a world of trouble if he keeps running that tensioner...

kind of random, but:
does anyone have a lead on a 1" threadless steel fork with a brake hole preferably straight blade?
muchas gracias

That is definitley not safe...

Last season at least you could get a 1" Steamroller fork from QBP. For the shops that deal with Marinoni (who stock EVO components), you should take a look at this site for possibilities: http://www.evo.com.tw/

Given that he has a front and rear brake, I suspect skidding and skipping or using his legs in backward action at all is not being done. Sort of begs the question, though.

urbane has em, i have one on my bike and it's fine. nothing fancy but it's steel and works well.

that is the second bike i've seen on the FGG that is running a tensioner. that man is in for a world of hurt.

haha check it out!

bahahahahah.. awesome.

I think this is my dream girl (assuming it's a girl...)

I would say that the flyer artist is gonna get a talking to.

I bet there is an organizer who ok'd the poster slapping his forehead too. :( :o :p
When print jobs go bad from the get go. Full suck points.

Actually, I figured out the date on my own. I think they are just trying to be clever, as spring starts on March 21st, and the flyer says "SEASONS CHANGE AND REARRANGE". Still it is awfully oblique for the multitudes of people less intelligent than myself.

thanks for the Urbane tip! They actually have in stock what I'm looking for. I'll go check it out today. It was either buying this http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...1308&rd=1&rd=1
or finding a cheaper local alternative. Seems the exact fork I'm looking for comes stock on Urbanites. Unless anyone has anything bad to say about those ones...

Most of the general populace shurely.

them cheap black campy mirage brakes, if anyone's interested:
