Bike Forums - Toronto Fixed

One of my girlfriends bought it for me its a North Face Flight Series but last years model I don't think they make it anymore. 2Wheels has one of these (I think) and it looks wicked. The problem with my North Face is its built for climbing so it has no really good wind resistance while on the bike I tend to wear it under one of my Nike Climafit jackets, then its perfect. The only thing about that north face jacket that is absolutely tits is the fact it has the monkey loops for fingers, it makes the biggest difference under gloves.

yeah, i like a normal fleece now and again, but you're right, they are not built to withstand wind. there is some nice fleeces out there with windstopper material; i'd love to find a snug-ish one with a hood.

So took my bike up from the laundry room (using it on the rollers) to lube it up & noticed this.

As an aside, I picked up a pair of sidi bullets. If you buy Sidi shoes, *don't* use the stock mounting bolts which use a very small diameter hex. I stripped on with almost no force at all and am now trying to figure out how to get it out :mad:

Aggh!!! John, that suxors!

At the very least it'll be annoying to have to wait for replacement frame to come in. That sucks though sweep.

Shut the **** up. Anyway, I quit smoking. It's been close to a month now so I'm pretty confident I'm not going to freak out and start again now. Woot. The only change I've noticed other than being even more angry all the time is my mouth feels a lot less ganky in the morning. Hopefully my lungs will show me some sort of improvement but the time roadie scum season swings into full gear.

Oh ya, it ****ing sucks but odds are you're not royally screwed. There's light at the end of the tunnel is what I was trying to convey.

if it makes you feel better, not a whole lot of TO shops are open sundays this time of year either. i kind of like stuff closed on sundays; reminds me of old times when people actually took a day of rest. yes a bit off topic; it sucks that you have to take all the parts off the frame, etc. especially with spring around the corner.

99% of the bikes we get in are junkers. Working on fully functional bikes is a +.

And I finally got the Sidi screw out by hacksawing a notch in it and using a flathead screwdriver... what a pain.
