Is that a post van incident addition the brakes?

It was a geared bike, so probably post accident ride while the other one is repaired or something

I think he has gears too...

I actually have a brake now. Its duppy's old one since he is now sporting the white diacompe (btw, if you are ever about to say you 'rock' something, as in the wear, carry or use sense, to sport is a much finer alternative. Rocking out it still fine with me though.) I gotta buy pads, cable, cable housing and uwrap my bar tape. what a nuisance. However yesterday I was racing towards a light and had to abort and I barely stopped in time and my tire took a beating. It would be nice to have the option to stop really fast, even if weaving is more fun and efficient.

Also, yes, you speak the truth.



I happened to look out my living room window just as you were zipping past.

Is this mountain biking? I want to come but not on mtb.

Shiznaz 05-02-07 02:13 PM

its trail riding in the don

I'd ride with you, but I've already put off doing my laundry for a week. Hooray for smelling clothes you pick up off the floor to check if they are wearable! (the synthetic stuff is NEVER wearable. Such stank. I'm going to be a smelly smelly guy on my bike trip)

Too late, my headset needs to be overhauled right now. The top race self destructed...

Wasn't there talk some time ago about the Unwin St. sprints? Is that still happening?

operator 05-02-07 06:58 PM

My bike is completely ****ed now, can't even brake without getting a really nasty vibration and loud ass squeal going through my bike.

The headset self destructed. Keep getting clicking noises when turning/braking. Isolated it down to somewhere within the fork/headtube area, it's not the handlebars/stem because I tried on another bike. It's not the wheel... because it's not loose.

****
help

That would be like Trick's N Drinks night without tricks... hrmmmm

does anyone here ride a older black Bianchi w/red decals, candy red deep v's, miche primato hubs & cranks, easton carbon fork? I was giving my parent's day-old new car a test spin at the CNE last night and complemented this guy through the car window (around Dufferin/King). He was so proud of his setup and quite happy to show off each component (not like I minded). Considering I was driving a car (a freak occurance), I was too embarrased to say I ride, too. Ah well. Dudes got a nice ride!

Yeah I decided riding a geared road bike without brakes was getting a little old.

Danhalen 05-02-07 08:58 PM

Actually riding a road bike for work has been fun. I love bombing hills! On the other hand I can't wait for my track bike to be back in commission. I miss switching it up. The worst part of my Urbanite road bike is how ****ty the rear wheel is. It has never stayed in true since I got it. Keith has gotten as good as he could and it still has a significant wobble. I have to run the back brake pretty loose so that it doesn't rub. So lame. Malcolm needs to hurry his ass up on my nice road bike and my track bike.

I'm down for an island ride on the weekend and SO down for fixed gear sprints. Hell yes.

Oh also Colin I saw you riding east along the lakeshore trail on I think it was sunday. Sadly I was in a car on lakeshore. I was very jealous, seeing as how I was stuck in a car in lame traffic.

what works for everyone on Sunday? 9am meet up at the ferry dock? I think it's like 5 or 6 bux for the ferry.

Oh man why always so early? I mean I know the morning is nice but there is no way I'll be up that early on sunday.
