Hey which one of you bike forumers just moved in to the cabbagetown area? Sorry I forget your BF and you real name. I dont think that ever knew it though. I just have a message for you from Wil at the shop.




Also check out this hot bike that i got the privilege to work on today...

Features a 24" front wheel, 26" rear, v-brake rear, Hayes Nine hydro front, XTR rear der, Raceface tripple crank, Manitou dc fork.....

This bike is a little more than confused... or maybe the rider is.

ahha i love it.

It's a reverse downhill bike. Very rare.

what's that? an uphill bike?

race ready I would say

Not quite, still needs some pink Acerbis hand guards.

did you drop the seat when working on it? The seatpost should be all mashed up at the bottom otherwise. Unless a kid rides it and is growing into it. The reflectors say kid to me.

HAHA no it was down before I worked on it.... With any compression the seatpost wound mash into the shock i'm sure.

I raised it to work on it.

Guy who brought it in was 30 someish.. and I am pretty sure that it is his personal bike.

i'm soooo confused :lol:

hahahahahh

other mech, chun, on the bike.

The flag was put in for an extra touch.

:lol:

that bike is crazy...looks like a ktm motocross or suttin...how much it weigh?

Rim brake now, check PM.

hahaha near 40 I would say

wtf is up with the 24" front wheel? It looks like there isn't enough room in that fork for a 26". Did it come that way??

I've ridden a Specialized P-series (lots of fun) with a 26" front and 24" rear (and seen bikes with 29" front, 26" rear), but the other way around seems incredibly wrong.

Well, then again, I guess that's par for the course on that bike. :P

EFFFFFF fixies... I'm getting me a GIANT WALKING CHAIR ROBOT!!!

CriticalMass of the future - fat asses in walking lazy boys

I have some decent wheels for you Jeremy. Stop by when you get the chance and I will show you what I have.

One step closer to this? Just strap a couple of machine guns on...

All moved into the new joint and back online. However, the last tenants made a point of never cleaning so we have our work cut out for us. On the up side, the back balcony is bigger than we expected and as such... we got a kick ass bbq - IMHO anywho. That said, there will undoubtedly be some BBQ, beers 'n bikes at the new diggs before long.

And now for the bad news... WTF!!!! My seething rage is about to catch my desk on fire.

^^^ next time we have a get together the host has to bust out the SNES emulator. :) (or I'll bring my laptop)

Those Kestral TT bikes are pretty neato, I've never ridden one but I've heard great things about them. I like the paint scheme on this one better though:

here is your chance to own a similar one:

From bodycount - to a cop on Law and Order. Ice-t sells out.

That bike confiscation video is so disturbing. The worst part for me is the plain clothed aspect of policing... that seems to be happening more and more.

Bump - anyone?

what's with the clipless-mounted flip-flops? for riding to the beach in bare feet?

I looked again and I think they are some sort of shoe-mount, not flip-flops. It looks like you can fit any shoe in there so I guess that this saves time because you don't have to switch out of cycling shoes and into running shoes, you just cycle with your running shoes on. Pretty good idea, I've never seen it before.

Hey John... you should see that old Raleigh now! It's almost done :D
