Coffee in the market or something anyone?

I might be up for that, but something tells me I already have plans. Ask again mid-week.

What he said.. mostly. My front wheel washed out after that last little downhill (with the berm-turn) before the big climb up to the place where there was construction under the bridge. Just a scraped knee and a bruised hip. No biggie. It was slick though.. pretty similar to that first time the two of us went in.

I'm cleaning out the bike shed today. Maybe later though.

will be heading to the market once i get my act together...

Thanks again Keith! It's perfect, and it looks purdy on my bike too :D

Thanks to Fuzzz for the downtube shifters. Further to the discussion Pyze and Mike and I had about cycling caps, there's some other pics here and if you go into the directory "cycle" there's a pattern with some instructions in pdf. http://james.architectureburger.com/cycle/cap.html

blickblocks has a thread going on it too: http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=292333

I saw a Cannondale track frame on the Canadian Cyclist classifieds section. It is a 56cm frame and it is 350$CDN for the frame, fork and headset; maybe someone here can use the info.

Damn tall people why can't I find a local c-dale track (the blue alu kinds from the mid 90s) in my size ever.
Atleast this one isn't the right model. Saves me some frustration.

Us real tall people usually look at these ads and say "damn short people..." :)

I thought the same thing when I read Jet's post :D

I have two words (from the main form) "Scraper Bike"

Oh my.

stupid rain.

it poured just long enough for me to get soaked riding home from work and then stop once i was safely inside.

think i may try that cycling cap sewing project if i get a few minutes.

Better than -30 with freezing rain

That's hot (on several levels). :)

Something about they can play tough with me anyday.

Holy good mother of g.. Nice.

Rob: any luck with that cog/lockring? Still want me to bring that butane torch by Bikechain tomorrow?

I've never quite understood how it works.
All i know is that there are two freewheels.
Never mind, I just answered my own question.

A poor mans Nestor bike. That "tensioner" looks like it would fold with the first hard effort.

What are the requirements for the 75km at the Ride for Heart? good morning all.

$60 minimum fundraising + $40 registration fee ($50 after May 31).. correct me if I'm wrong.

crawlin' over the site that seems right..... dang... I almost wouldn't mind the fidy....but 110buks to ride the DVP?

"We ask that participants selecting either of these options to collect a minimum of $60 in pledges as these are privileged routes and cost more to run."

Privileged....don't cha know @ 7:15am.... I don't feel very privileged @ that hour. Hmmmm I kind of want to borrow a bud's geared roadie.. slap my pedals on and whaaaaaaaa.

i don't see how it costs and more to run the 75km route considering it's just and extra loop of the dvp from bloor to york mills. and yes, it's the best way to stay away from the mass of fair-weather cyclists. start at 6am and ride with the usual doughnut crowd. you should be done in two hours.

cavernmech,

Two things: Do you have 16t Dura-chay 1/8th cog and how much? Can you have a look at my headset after I'm done work @ approx. 545pm today? Pretty please?

110... not worth it. Sorry Ride for Heart, I might have done the 50, but ...... pass. Maybe I'll just wait they're fixing it again.... :lol:

Yes I have a 16 Dur-Ah-Awt-Say cog...$30. H.S. is still working loose on ya? Bring it by for a look-see. I think 1 1mm spacer in yer H.S. will be in order.
