Hey keith, do you think you can still build me a wheelset with the fix/fix level hubs and cxp33s by may 12?

Bikeophile 05-04-05 06:28 AM

The MSRP for the Rear Hub (From the Manufacturer is $220USD). We have talked to them have been able to offer them for $205 CANADIAN.

The Front Hub will be selling for $125 Canadian

As of today, Level has not shipped the order to us yet. So I am not sure the exact date they will be in. Hopefully within the next week or two. I know that there are folks (like Shiznaz) who want wheels by Keith, so the day they arrive there will be stock given to Cavern.

You can check them out on level's website (www.levelcomponents.com)
or check them out on my site under HUBS

more riding i hope!

Bikeophile 05-05-05 10:48 AM

So guys.....WHO has registered for the ride for heart? Fixed or SS or whatever...we really need to have a good showing!! it would be awesome!!!

cavit8 05-05-05 11:13 AM

I'm registered.

On another note, has anyone done the TNT Hairshirt?

Shiznaz 05-05-05 11:15 AM

I'd love to go, but I will not be around!

gokiburi 05-05-05 11:24 AM

i'm just going through the online registration page.. maybe i'm not reading it right.. but the part about coming up with the 60 bucks in pledges.. do they expect you to make up the difference if the only people you can find for pledges are a bunch of skinflints??!

Bikeophile 05-05-05 11:40 AM

no you only need to get the pledges if you want to do the early start. Go for the regular start time and 50km route....no pledges needed, just the registration fee.

operator 05-05-05 12:20 PM

Hey shiznaz are you going with someone else to France?

henesse 05-05-05 01:38 PM

There was a group of 30+ riders doing a group ride around Ontario place.
do you guys know who they are?
I think it might be the TBN members.

operator 05-05-05 01:54 PM

On Saturdays yeah it could've been TBN. But any other day probably not.

Shiznaz 05-05-05 01:58 PM

well, I'm going over on my own, but I'll be travelling around for most of june with a friend of mine. I'm spending the first week in paris at school while staying at my parents place, and then most of july I will be at school in Grenoble (right during the tour de france too... should be a riot!). The girl (not girlfriend) I'm travelling with however is not a cyclist, but I'm sure I could get her on some wheels every now and then

I see lots of group rides around that area all the time now.

Bikeophile 05-05-05 06:57 PM

Sounds like an awesome couple months in France! Shiz, I am so jealous! I would kill to be in France during the tour, especially for Lance's last! Wow...take a lot of pictures!!

Bikeophile 05-05-05 09:30 PM

ORANGE MARINONI TRACK.

So one of my best friends rides an Orange Marinoni Track bike. He bumped into ANOTHER Orange Marinoni Track rider downtown across from HMV yesterday...Is he on here?

operator 05-06-05 06:08 PM

Shiznaz 05-06-05 06:29 PM

I'm finally back on the road boys.

orguasch 05-06-05 06:34 PM

Shiznaz,
I live on Davisville, and I always take Mount Pleasant to go downtown or to go to the Lakeside trail, and it gives me the adrenalin rush and going back home is also a good way to have some workout, I also used Avenue Road going north start from Bloor its a nice easy uphill climb

If there weren't any cars it would be wicked sweet, but if theres even one its going to be shaving a thin layer of skin off of your left side. Also riding fast along queen between spadina and university is a fun obstacle course of peds, doors, taxis and street car tracks


Bikeophile 05-06-05 10:34 PM

You are insane Oscar. I used to do Mt Pleasant on my 52/16 (up and down) and I would still spin out...I swear my heart rate would be faster on the way down mt pleasant than it was going up! I would poop my pants out of fear of death every time!!! But it did give me a good rush!

I am now riding brakeless and 52/17 so I am a little more hesitant to ride that road at all.

If you can get yourself to Queen Street East and George Street, it is two doors from the corner store. George Street is one street East of Jarvis. What do you need from there? I was there today and there were some decent used frames for sale. Nice guy, he told me about another powder-coating place called Chameleon that I am going to try out for my next project.

orguasch 05-07-05 02:51 AM

I can't climb Mt.Pleasant at 53/17, I would be able to climb it on my 39/19, how about going down and climbing Scarborough Bluffs,whenI used to live in Scarborough, that.s howI start my weekend ride, ride down/up Scarborough Bluffs and then end it also that way, I get my bike riding really good exercise
