Oh man those Canadian Tire motorcycle bikes weighed like 40 pounds each! What a ridiculous idea. That guy was really mad at us for riding them through the store.

Hey Canice just out of curosity what are 'tams'? Is that a regular part of vintage golfer attire?

Impressive/mundane moment: Stage 5 of the Giro, shot of Paulo Bettini with his right Sidi hanging out of his mouth (?!). Apparently his cleat had come loose, so he just took it off and kept up w/ the peloton pedaling one-footed while the mechanic in his team car tightened it up. Then he took it back and casually put it back on at speed (no holding onto the team car for this move).

Hello, massive dental bill if I tried that maneuver.

a rose by any other name...

Tams are floppy hats. Totally a fixed requirement.

Not that vintage. Wooden woods yes, but reshafted in the 1980's.

Ohhh ok one of those things. Nice. Is that you and your hat? It's a good look for you for sure :D

"Racial Stereotype Costumes 'R' Us" ... why isn't he holding a liquor bottle?

He probably is. We are only looking at a headshot after all.

I saw a kid on the *centreville* Island yesterday with one of these. Just another option. oh dear.

Looks like a fine resource of inspiration for conversions.

Plus, he'll be done much sooner than the fixedgeargallery garage feature :)
The one with conversion done in 12 episodes, with one episode per month.
Dunno if the target audience has the required attention span.

Agreed.

I guess Brad will come up with any excuse to have you sit on his head.

+1 (I've always wanted to do that!)

you want to sit on Brad's head?

Hey Shiz...the cassette you gave me is a CS-M950 type P which is an 8sp. Someone has included an 11 tooth cog to appear a 9sp. It will not fit on yer hub. Give me a call ASAP.
Also which shops in these parts are equipped for King hub service..Shape? Robin?
Paging Shiznaz! Paging Shiznaz! There are a couple of other bugs too.

Thanks K

Is Mike Barry, the guy who started Mariposa Cycles, the dad of Michael Berry who rides for Telekom?

Yup

I wonder if you buy a bike do you get a signed photo of his son?

On a related note: Are Marinoni bikes custom? I always thought they were, but the site seems to suggest that they are not.

This coming Monday is garbage day, come before then and take what you want.

Marinoni...used to be all hand attention all the time, but the latter part of the 20th century took care of that. While some customs can still be had, I believe it's mass made now. Not to knock what comes off the line now, but the old stuff was killer. You couldn't throw a rock in MTL in the 80's without knockin' someone off their 'Noni

I figured, since you can get a frame for $700 cnd.

oh yeah, anyone want an 8 speed xtr cassette? Cheap cheap cheap!

size?

not to say they aren't nice still
