ps. duppy, I bought a front brake for my fixed gear yesterday but I thought you might want it instead as it would really suit your ride. let me know if you want to trade or something.

whaaaaaaaaaaat shiz! nice man! Im down...

as usual i got to miss out on festivities...but watching my daughter walk around the block on her own for the first time definitely made it worth it! ;)

You OK? Cars blow when they hit you. And in general

Be well, Dom. Hope everything goes okay.

Just under $700 with taxes in. I changed the specs above as well. I also have a fanless psu and nearly silent aftermarket cpu/gpu coolers so I won't need to buy those. (Noise pisses me off greatly).

i think i'm getting over this flu thing; anyone not working banker's hours interested in riding during the week?

I grabbed the Richey pedals, $25 never used, with cleats. Yeah me.

No camera work for the crash!? Being the host/cameraman/safety inspector can be a load of work. Sorry I didn't come out but knowing I was racing today for the first time this year, and the inevitable beverages that would be consumed, was a bit too risky for my un-disiplined self. Sounded like a good time.
As far as the race my knees are aching and I have a bit o sunburn but otherwise a great ride. Our whole crew finished with the exception of Bradyn who snapped his chain...*****mano..already replaced with a SRAM. Think I knocked about 20 mins off last years time and did it with tunes the whole way....good times!

yeah.. whomever I said "I don't tan or burn" to yesterday.. I take that back. :P

edit: found my shirt.. nevermind.
edit 2: I'm not in the results for P-A.. b'oh.

cavit8 04-22-07 06:42 PM

Offhoff, did you need a 3/32 or 1/8 144 BCD chain ring? I have a used 3/32 Sugino 46 which you can have for a beverage consideration or a cherry NJS Sugino 48 in 1/8" which will cost you many dollars. Or if you're feeling hefty, I have a 3/32" Sakae in 52. :D

Let me know and I can drop it off at Cavern tomorrow if I can. I'll probably need a sanity ride as I head in to the term's home stretch.

nice find. from what i understand, they are pretty much mick-ups of the old shimanos. for that price you can't even get the cheap wellgos from MEC.

hey, if you're feeling like riding tomorrow let me know, i'm off for the day.

The best part is I was going to Mec to get the cheap wellgos. I'm off tomorrow, coffee and a ride should work.

cavit8 04-22-07 07:57 PM

Let me know when, I'll be pulling a late one, but I seem to be nearly out of magic beans from I Deal and that just won't do. I'll probably work steady through the morning, but noon or early afternoon would be a good break. I also may need to go out to Bloor West to pick up a laser printer refill. My cartridge is on its last legs.

even better. i'd say the ritchey's are more than a step up. lemme know what time's good for you. i'm free, um all day. i thought school was in on mondays?

i'd like to ride, but if it's raining then i may spend the morning bike building.

Good idea, I am out of coffee as well. I like noonish as well.

works for me. how's 1:00 at I Deal? What say you pyze?

EDIT: do you guys know who's working behind the counter on mondays? actually there seems to be a plethora of attractive women working there so any day is good for eye candy. my appologies to 32flavours for the sexist remarks...

cavit8 04-22-07 08:07 PM

I don't keep tabs, really. Audrey Tatou seems to be there most times I'm there. Why would you need to apologize for making a sexy remark?

jeremywhitehorn 04-22-07 08:09 PM

there is the odd woman on this forum; it's not a complete sausage-fest. i like to at least pretend i'm not a pig...
