Hey, is there a Toronto swap-meet for bicycles? I recall one in the annex last summer but I couldn't make it, where could I find information regarding bike-swaps? Thanks.

yeah, I've talked to that guy too. When I bought my bike he was actually looking at it as well. Then on that CM I saw him and we chatted for a few minutes. I don't know his name or anything though.

I actually lied about no ventilation, I left the door open periodically to let the fumes air out. But it was hella cold. So not too often. Anyways, the point is that it smells like ooooranges! So any takers with the citristrip? I will deliver it to you if it's downtown.

He had quite a few fixie conversions and if memory serves he did have a Ciocc. Not sure if he worked at Blizzard.

Wow more snow today. Although i'm still riding to work everyday we have been pretty lucky this winter, weather wise. Just keep saying spring is around the Conner. & the bike show.
Cheers
