And shame on you all for talking about vintage bianchi. It made me go to bike specialties web page and now I'm drooling over a lovely restored Andre Bertin Randonneur ($750 complete).
And I haven't heard back from buddy and his 50 bikes.

Jer, I have a wheel for you, on the house.
For drop levers/inline to work with v-brakes I think you need a problem solver/travel agent. Are you going to set it up as as s/s with drops? If you want flat bars, I have 2 short, like 40cm wide flats bars if you want as well.
P.S. Very jealous your bike find.

Yes Raptors! Damn that game was close. How was it at the ACC? It must have been nuts in the final few mins of almost choke.

Depends what size cogs your running. my ring, cog & chain are 3/32 no problems so far, but i here bigger is better!

As soon as I have enough money i'm ditching my 1/8 rear cog/chain for a 3/32 chain/cog combo. Can't really go wrong with either.

Speaking of stolen bike parts, anyone notice who's back justin time for fun season? Yeah that's right, El Cucaracha (Igor). Lame-o.
Last week I went to see Harry Shearer at the Drake (uhg). It was totally sick. Just him and his wife, with her playing piano and him doing a Derek Smalls in the background plucking the ol' bass. There were a bunch of ******bags in the back talking loud about expensive haircuts and clever coffee house names - one can only assume - while Harry was trying to do the intro. Half way through he says, "I'd like to thank you all for coming out tonight. All of you except THOSE IN THE BACK!" at which point he stuck the most awe inspiring Rev. Lovejoy pose and voice. It was awesome. I'll post pics when I get a chance.
Oh yeah, bikes. Anyone have a threaded stem they'd like to part with for minimal moola? I'm also looking for a crankset for this project bike if anyone has anything laying around.

I just can't bring myself to go inside the Drake... even though they appear to have some good shows sometimes.

Duppy and Keith.... you lucky lucky dogs. WOOF what a game!!!!! DAMN BOYS!!
Nifty discussion about cycling and cars on the way to work with one of Toronto's finest. I rode away vindicated with the promise he would check into the actual law.
More on this later.
Of all the SF vids...I like this one the best, and OF COURSE TOBY can do the reverse spin circle....in his tighties to boot.
