tam and I are going for a lakeshore ride. Hopefully meeting a couple other folks too for an easy one.

NW corner of St lawrence market @ 1PM if anyone would like to come along.

Sure... However I'm trapped re-doing laundry since the power was out in my building and my clothes got stuck in the machines :mad:

I'll prolly head out around 1ish...

Nice job looks like the frame i have a bit but mine is black. Building bikes on Saturday nights, nice job & great vid.
Cheers

Yeah, I stopped in on Friday afternoon and Eric was helping me out.. those Adidas with the ratchet buckle fit my wide foot quite well (plus, they're shiny silver "astronaut shoes"). But as others have mentioned, I'm a little suspect about their quality/longevity.

Hey Duppy/Ronin,

If you guys want to ride around, go to MEC/bike stores as well I'd be down. I have to get a couple of things from MEC for this week and I need to go to Canadian Tire as well.

Good times yesterday! Colin and Charlie I owe both of you guys a beer for being a money grubbing bastard :D

PARTAY! I got woked up today by lighters clicking. oh boy!

There was a huge debate on whether or not adidas was worth it in the Road forum. I don't usually like to base decisions on "general consensus" but the build quality does not look as great as the sidis.

There's always the Sidi's. You can replace just about every part of them, from the heal pad, to the cleat plate and straps. If your feet aren't getting any bigger, I certainly think they are a good investment if you are planning on riding lots.

I up for a lazy ride around town, shopping. mec etc.. Time and place?

I'm thinking maybe 1ish at Canadian Tire at Yonge and Davenport? I'm thinking Pyze you live east, Duppy lives east and I live west so it is kind of a good middle ground. I'm not sure where Ronin is located, althuogh I think maybe him and Duppy left earlier maybe. I only need to get electrical tape and a few washers shouldn't be too long at Crappy Tire.

Was it Danhalen that scored that nice Guerciotti at the bike show? There is a thread in C&V about another one and it looks exactly like the one he got:

Yup that was me! That frame is exactly like the one I got yeah. I also found a pic on classic rendezvous of another one that is identical to mine, except it has both chainstays chromed, whereas mine only has the drive side chromed like the pic you posted.

Here's the bike that I found: http://www.classicrendezvous.com/Ita...i/Guerc_MS.htm

Actually the one I posted is exactly how I want to build mine up, except i'm going to use dark grey/black bar tape instead of the yellow which looks awful on this otherwise classy bike imo. I can't wait to get it built!!

On the subject of Guerciottis I love this one too: http://www.bikecult.com/works/archive/guercJPrs.jpg

Classic!

Ach, forgot I have plans with my wife. No ride this afternoon.

bummer.

I'm still frickin' doing laundry... :mad:

I'll call one of you guys to see where you are at.

I need some tubes at MEC and want to check out Urbane, so take your time at MoonBean ;)

the don valley is made out of peanut butter!

ps. good hookin up with ya shammy. definitely up for another ride sometime (on skinny tires this time :P) this week after work.

I have a Brooks B17champion narrow saddle pretty close to new only used once if any one is intrested. and maybe a ultimate repair stand too

Donvalley is a ton of fun right now if you like the fat tire muck fun it's great

nice. are you going to use aero levers or go the full classic route? You'll be able to carry around baguettes like a pro!

Actually I only own half the bike store....my better half owns the other half. trying to explain my exorbitant purchases to her can be difficult. "But these/this/it will last me a really long time...remember quality is remembered long after price is forgotten" This line has saved me from the couch on many an occasion.

hahahahaha ya man...was fun...even that bail....altho my elbow and shoulder kinna hurt now...i never imagined id bail cause i was riding with no hands...jaimie said my wheel was at a right angle (L) to my bike when i flew off and it looked like i had a fistful of front brake...duhhhhhhhhhhh!

ya man after work anytime is cool wiv me...think day might be hard as im baby sitting the gabster...;)

i support that build up so long as you use aero levers. i love the frame.

Thoughts and opinions on these anyone?

Hey. So you just got a MTB or what? What is it?

AFAIK, the progression goes something like:

Purple ano-CNC machined- carbon fibre.

Retro Bling!

That SH1T is the new hotness!
