Relevant? No, but good illustration shouldn't be passed on.

well i have a black bike but that wasn't me. i was at the bike show yesterday afternoon and i didn't follow anybody with a timbuk2 on the way there. did we establish a time for meeting tomorrow?

yeah, you have an urbanite, right? I would have remembered that. :)

11:30am tomorrow at Moonbean.

I saw a cute girl riding a nice super clean fixie with a chopped straight bar and stubby bar ends today. Just thought that was worth mentioning.

TRaffic Jammer 03-04-06 03:27 PM

did you talk to her?

Shiznaz 03-04-06 03:47 PM

My girlfriend wants me to build her a fixie now. This has been my plan for some time, but I didn't want to bring it up myself because it makes me feel like kind of a perv in some strange way. I got a wierd kick out of her riding my bike down the street for some reason. That and I hate adjusting the brakes and gears on her hybrid. Not that I'd get her going brakeless anyways... I'll stop rambling now.

Anyways, now I'm in the market for a 55-56cm road frame or bike to fix up for her. She wants it in pink too, so I may have to do a repaint unless I'm lucky.

I'll be at moon bean at 11:40 tommorrow just to be fashionable.

TRaffic Jammer 03-04-06 03:52 PM

My cramerotti frame tells me it wants a flip/flop build. Dude no need to feel like a perv, you're sharing your passion with your love. I'd totally chub if i could get the wife riding. :p Tomorrow!!!

Shiznaz 03-04-06 04:00 PM

Now I just need to get her rock climbing, smoking pot and playing warhammer 40,000 (all of which she has expressed interest in funnily enough).

If life is a 2 way street though that means I'll have to start doing yoga, spinning classes and learn to study like a monster. I suppose I could be worse off

edit: my bike is going to be pimped
Cyclops hand made columbus zona track frame
Chris King headset
Nitto Jaguar alloy stem
Nitto B123 39cm bars
Thomson Elite seatpost
Selle San Marco rolls black perf. saddle
Phil Wood bottom bracket
Sugino 75 cranks
MKS Sylvan pedals
Shadow Conspiracy Interlock V1 chain
Level fix/fix hubs
Mavic CXP33 rims

100% silver except for the fruity gold that lives on Rolls saddles

i have a 58cm (or so) vintage raliegh frame sitting in my basement if you want it. it's white, so not your colour, but what the hell.

i'll try to be there at 11:30. how will i know who's who? what does everyone look like?

Shiznaz 03-04-06 04:21 PM

The problem about getting a frame for her is she is pretty tall and has an 89cm inseam, but as a girl she has a shorter torso, meaning that although her legs could fit a 56-57, I should probably go smaller to accomadate her arms. Thanks for the offer anyways though! I will probably be wearing army pants tomorrow, along with my yellow black and silver bike jacket with a colourful UTW messenger bag.

not sure what i'll be wearing except for a dirt brown pac messenger bag with "one less car" patch. oh and a bell helmet in rabobank colours...

operator 03-04-06 05:01 PM

So uh, who's riding down.

eyefloater 03-04-06 05:23 PM

I dunno, if anyone knows a safe place to lock up once we get there I can ride, otherwise I'm just going to street car my way there.

sr20det 03-04-06 05:28 PM

heya, shiznaz, were you at urbane in the afternoon today?
I saw a guy riding a purpleish cyclops track frame on my way out of the shop.
looks EXACTLY like the one in your picture.
thought THAT was worth mentioning :)

and 32flavours thanks a bundle for the citristrip.
some dude thought it was my carrot juice.

I recall him saying it was hideous, and the owner of said purple bike did make a post on this thread.

sweep242 03-04-06 06:02 PM

I'm riding down from Vic Park & Danforth i'm crazy. I remember locking up with no problem or worries but who knows. The bike I’m riding is not a hot peace of a$$ 11:30 works
Cheers
Jeremy look for people with helmets as I have not met all eather.

orguasch 03-04-06 06:27 PM

got some good deals on the jersey I was able to score one a Sleeman Beer Jersey and 2003 TDF DVD,
will try to go back tomorrow, I saw atla Bicicletta those Bike Jackets for $139.00, maybe the price might still go down on Sunday

TRaffic Jammer 03-04-06 07:21 PM

I'm riding apparently parking at western entrance.... read back a few pages.
Moon Bean tally ho! I got my black Pryme fullface and specs.

I gots the passes safely in my jacket pocket, so potential hophead moment averted.
Later!!!! :p :p

operator 03-04-06 09:22 PM

Alright guys... I'm going to ride down tomorrow. Hope my jaw doesn't seize up.

eyefloater 03-04-06 10:12 PM

Okey dokey then, guess I'll bring the KHS out for its Sunday jaunt.

Hey Shiznaz, Keith had a really nice, really pink Miele about that size (maybe a 54 or 55) at Cavern Cycles a while ago, don't know if he sold it or not.
