Stuff like this makes me want to make a contribution to the James Leone Legal Fund.

Actually I do get a little blurb which says:

I love Parkdale haters; you just listen to the bad things they have to say about Parkdale, smile once they are done and walk away.

I say go for it old man. Might make you sweat off some of that lard. Bonus points for wearing your full team kit and huffing away on your granny gear.

edit: Has anyone tried running a 7 speed downtube shifter with a 9 speed cassette? I am thinking of picking up a cheap pair as insurance in case my STI brifters die when I am on tour.

Because Leeds St. between Carling Ave. and Roblocke Ave. is not in any of those neighbourhoods.

that's really good news op.. now you should ask for a little stipend.

unrelated: does anyone know where i can score some nitto promenades (the curved, no-rise ones) in toronto? i think urbane sells it for $90-100 so i'd like to avoid that.

As long as you have the appropriate braze-on mounts for D.T. shifters you are good to go. Most current frames only use a cable stop as opposed to a shifter braze-on. Friction will be your friend unless you want to cough up for 9sp D.T.

I just got a new computer at work, and am stoked to see it comes standard with 256 megs of Ram! I'm rocking and rolling now! It's funny how back in the day I was stoked when I had 13 megs, and now I'm complaining I don't get a gig.

Hey Cam...what choo doin' with those Thule load bars that were on the wagon? I know someone who might like them. Me. I want to get the full "tour" style going with wheels hanging off the sides and whatnot. After that I just need the sweet caravan horn and I am good to go. Let me know if you want to unload them.

Keith, I have downtube shifter bosses. I guess I'll just go with cheap 7 speed ones as they are only meant as an emergency bandaid 'I just broke my shifters' situation. the 9 speed ones are EXPENSIVE!

Speaking of which, I upgraded the ram in my 386dx/25 from 1mb to 4mb so I could play <a href="https://www.the-underdogs.info/game.php?gameid=2128">Falcon 3.0</a> on the highest detail setting the 386 would support. You needed a 486 with a math co-processor to play it at the very highest level.

I will be selling the racks after I get them cleaned up -- they've been on there for nearly seven years and the locks were pretty stiff. I may also have some bike racks to go with them if the ex still has them. I'll get 'em cleaned up and see what they're going for used and I'm sure we can swing a deal.

Sorry Wes, that's what you get for living in the west end.
