Maybe not faster in a straight line, but it ain't going to do a 90 left without overshooting about 3 nautical miles.

For the catering I did on Sunday I marinated 14 flank steaks in a moroccan spice mix of 16 different spices for 24 hours. Quite simply the best flank steak I've ever had.

As for grilling steaks, sea salt or kosher salt, fresh ground pepper or butchers pepper, oil and grill at really high heat. If you want medium rare and above, turn the grill low and let it cook after searing. Steak cooks best low heat, chicken is high heat. Best steaks I cooked at work I'd sear and let sit on a shelf above the grill for 5-6 minutes. Absolutly sexy when done. Nice breakfast Rob.

Maybe some minced shallots or a spice rub, but otherwise only I'm with you. Only poor suts needed to be marinated. And never, ever under any circumstances should b-b-q be used as a marinade. I saw a cook doing this once to a delmonico. I cried.

The cop horses do have rubber coated shoes but they still dont do well on pavement at full gallop...the exception being this guy.

I did the same thing in front of a cop cruiser this morning by accident... damn rain.

The risk to a horse on pavement is waaay too great for such a silly thing as a red light biker. Now thundering down the back side of Mount Royal in MTL to chase illegal MTBr's (when they closed it to riders) is something entirely different.... damn they were fast....scary and the cops loved the chase... I think the horse did too.

Speaking of which, when are we going to have the pleasure of seeing you on the trails? Are you going revert the mtb to trail duty once the Paké takes over street duty?

yes......yes indeed....

seriously. why can't toronto get *****bags like they have in montreal??

one time i was stopped at a red light beside a huge pile and two conservative-looking middle-aged ladies were talking to each other about how unpleasant it was and why nothing was done about it, and were all like "it must not be very nice for cyclist"... so i was all like "yeah, exactly!" i felt rather vindicated. like, for sure.

hehehe.. zippered just went back to her original valley-girl 16 year old dialect.

Like you know, whatever! *cracks bubblegum*

I can assure you, Toronto has it's fair share of ****bags.

Hey Colin, nice to run into you on the streets today. Hope you had a good ride.

original? not quite... amusing? you bet! :lol:

hahahaha! so true

however, i had a driver to appologise to me today for continuing to open his car door despite looking right at me/me ringing my bell.

likewise. aside from the rain it was great. then i ran into dan....

CXP33/Surly wheelset on C.L. for $200...someone grab those...excellent deal. The rims alone are worth that.

"Get a car you ******" <- lols

Some typical redneck white guy yelled that at me from his piece of crap yellow jeep. So lucky I was going out for beer. It amazes me how ******* like that get born.

He was merely acting out his frustration at his strange, seemingly unnatural (in his mind anyway) attraction to your almond sex legs man...think nothing of it.

Hahahahhahaa, thanks TJ.

/sips a beer

Okay, last call for the Cross-Check before it goes on Craigslist for the weekend ... $350 takes it.

JESUS!

Man, track frames are going to be soooooo cheap in a couple of years once this trend is overwith. A Cinelli with risers?! *faints*

:lol:

look at the bars on the red one. Man just sooo many things wrong here.

Meh. Man that is so silly/ugly. It may be a Cinelli but it's so goddamn ugly! Those graphics are gross and that bike is not even remotely in the same league as classic Cinellis of yore imo. Such as this one for example: http://www.classicrendezvous.com/Ita...lli_trk_70.htm

... And then your day turned AWESOME. :D That's what you meant right?

how much does a new sugino 75 crankset typically go for?

About $225 - $250 with chainring...

I think if I was to go new school aluminum insanity for a *track* bike, I'd go this route:

That is pretty damn hot but would look sooo much cool with subtler graphics. A black/white paint job with funky molecules and way fewer words would look pretty damn sharp.

Beyond that, isn't an aluminum track bike a little on the stiff side and not as comfortable to ride for long periods as something made out of steel? Just curious...
