1:00 works for me. Be there or be square.

lamezor...

Damm that sucks hope everything works out in your favour.

I also had some folks over for a BBQ no bikes but had a cool rocket that kept the kids happy & the adults. I did get on the bike today & had a slow mo fall = sore elbow. Ha Ha
Cheers all

Project bike help needed... so I've got the big bits (frame, fork, wheels, hs, bb) but i'm still in need of a decent crank, stem and seat post. I didn't get a chance to hit the swap today but figured my fellow forum members may have some suggestions on where i can find these items without breaking the bank. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated...

I would like to mention that it's a simply splendid evening for a ride on the Gardiner. If you have the time to get out for a ride within the next 5 hours or so it comes highly recommended. (Eastbound only, Westbound has already re-opened)

I have a 27.2 seatpost.

I'm just signing on now. Yeah I was with Toby last night and he seemed to be fine. He does have a nasty bit of road rash on his shoulder and his wrist is kind of sore. He had a tensor bandage on it today. As for last night him and I went to Dance Cave which was amazing as expected. Then while riding south on Bathurst at like 3:00am we heard live music coming out of this house so we went in and "crashed" the party. We got free beer and met some girl who had a flying v shaped ukulele. Her and I jammed ukulele style. Then after all of this it turned out I actually knew the dude who lived there/whose birthday it was. He's a total dickbag not that that's relevent to the story... Great night!!!

Stephen: thanks for a great bbq!

Dom: We're your real insurance. Just give us the guy's address who hit you and we'll go kick his ass. On a more serious note I hope you're okay.

That is some whack **** dan - ownage.

lucky for you those are the cheap bits. what sizes are you looking for?

sorry, i don't speak internet...

Hit some shops look in corners & start here 179 Queen St. East & people here will have stuff. Kind of funny i answered a C/L ad for a bike part wanted & it turned out to be Paul (who I know) from pollys recycle he came by the house and cleaned me out of my stuff. Sometimes evil bay.

Something about a laminator?

I’m going for the triple good night kids.

What's that? Operator is indulging in self-pollution polishing his almond thighs again?

I'm going to have to go by and check out Polly's someday, it's right around the corner from me (but the Tango palace keeps pulling me the other direction).

For parts, Parts Unknown has some although often limited in road parts and Bikes on Wheels sometimes has stuff.
CL is a good option as people get rid of their stuff.

Nice 56 cm Gios on CL http://toronto.craigslist.org/bik/316933678.html

I also have a variety of stuff, so let us know sizes etc. and we'll see what springs forth from the tickle trunk.

Yeah, it is sweet. I love SLX tubing but what is that "compact" sticker about, is that some weird Italian thing from the '90s? Also, that adjustable rear-drop thing is odd. Great looking frame though.

I have a 1" quill stem not being used. Nice crank on CL today, probably gone but...

Design your own bike, pretty neat.

Aw what a jip,doesn't actually show you the completed custom bike, just lets you select a bunch of components and gives you a price :(

For an ugly madone, that sure is a huge waste of 10k.

That guy was selling his wheelset a bit back wasn't he?

Interweeb..... back on. *sigh* Thanks Offhoff the BBQ'n was amazing. Of course I missed the crashin'
32 flavs?....Good god girl, i hope you're ok....yea, let us go do this "big brother" style, and hang outside his house, blinkies all fired up tiil he comes through for ya. Rob...I promise not to kiss you like that and give you my cold next time, but boooi you gotta cover those legs. :lol: Couldn't help it. Venison was yummy. James thanks for the CODII...fun stuff. My wife already hates it, and I haven't been online yet...hahahaha. Yo Duppers, nice white brake mang, as soon as Charlie showed it i knew it was for you. Wooohoooo to Wes, Bray, and Keith for the P-A...if I missed you....NO SOUP FOR YOU!!!

And ... back (to work) - pics if I'm still coherent when I come home tonight.

PS. For those of you who ride by Harbord/Ossington on a regular basis, WTF happened to my home while I was gone?!

^ very interesting, 1981 israeli raid on iraqi nuclear plant by f-16a's. Docu misses several big points, wikipedia provides complete picture.

No result for Wes! That sucks a$$...Dave didn't get a result either. Strange. Whats the point in chip timing if they are gonna miss ya? I ended up 48th out of 111 in my group...not bad for my terribly out of shape body. Frozen peas and Advil for my achin' knees FTW. Bradyn and I are gonna start doing one of the weekly mtn. bike series...prolly Tues or Wed nights...if anyone is interested contact me.

Kim and I laugh at you guys every time we pass it.

Dave's in the online results. Crazy fast bastard too.

I missed him in the first perusal of the results. A 2:29 for 20th! DAMN!!

And that's at (I believe) 42x18.. what a monst0r. He told me after the race that he was wearing a heart rate monitor and spent all but 20 minutes above his aerobic threshold.

ps. check out the 11-15 year old categories.. they kicked serious ass!
pps. next year I'm riding a cross bike AND getting there a helluva lot earlier (and not drinking/skipping dinner/relying on bbq table scraps the night before)

I've got a crankset I don't need. It's a Truvativ Truoro 130BCD with a matching 108 english BB. This came stock on my Bianchi Pista and I've sice swapped it out. It's only been used a couple months and is in good shape. Want it?

I did a 100km ride to my parents and back yesterday. About 65 km in, my knee started to hurt a little. I have new pedals, and I know part of the issue is the cleat position. Last time this happened the front left of my knee cap hurt.

After moving the cleat, that's no longer an issue. But now the back left 'ligament thing' behind my knee hurts. Does anyone have any ideas?

go for a proper bike fitting? :) my experience is that trying to fit yourself on a bike is way harder than having another set of eyes that's able to look at your position from a bit of a distance. I know Cycle Therapy does fittings (but that may be more for figuring out frame sizing, correct me if I'm wrong Mike), and I've heard great things about the fittings at EnduroSport.

I don't think it's fit, since I did 10 000km last summer on the same bike same fit. the only thing that changed is going from mountain bike pedals to road bike pedals. Way less float, so I think that's the issue.

I did talk to a lawyer at my firm who used to be a nurse. He suggested that it's likely just a lot more stress on the outside of my knee because of how my foot was positioned all day. I did move my cleat a little closer to centre, so hopefully that will be the solution.
