My bike is completely ****ed now, can't even brake without getting a really nasty vibration and loud ass squeal going through my bike.

The headset self destructed. Keep getting clicking noises when turning/braking. Isolated it down to somewhere within the fork/headtube area, it's not the handlebars/stem because I tried on another bike. It's not the wheel... because it's not loose.

does anyone here ride a older black Bianchi w/red decals, candy red deep v's, miche primato hubs & cranks, easton carbon fork? I was giving my parent's day-old new car a test spin at the CNE last night and complemented this guy through the car window (around Dufferin/King). He was so proud of his setup and quite happy to show off each component (not like I minded). Considering I was driving a car (a freak occurance), I was too embarrased to say I ride, too. Ah well. Dudes got a nice ride!

Yeah I decided riding a geared road bike without brakes was getting a little old.

Actually riding a road bike for work has been fun. I love bombing hills! On the other hand I can't wait for my track bike to be back in commission. I miss switching it up. The worst part of my Urbanite road bike is how ****ty the rear wheel is. It has never stayed in true since I got it. Keith has gotten as good as he could and it still has a significant wobble. I have to run the back brake pretty loose so that it doesn't rub. So lame. Malcolm needs to hurry his ass up on my nice road bike and my track bike.

I'm down for an island ride on the weekend and SO down for fixed gear sprints. Hell yes.

Oh also Colin I saw you riding east along the lakeshore trail on I think it was sunday. Sadly I was in a car on lakeshore. I was very jealous, seeing as how I was stuck in a car in lame traffic.

Yeah I'd say that's more realistic! It really depends how saturday goes. I have a feeling it's going to be a late/drunken one.

You checked the handlebars and stem but did you take off the stem and check the fork? It might have a crack in it.

Yeah, 10:30 or 11:00 makes more sense for me too.. although I'll likely be riding slowly with my gf anyway, so it probably doesn't matter.

Bikes: too many too list

Unwin Sprints will be starting soon. I will call John and see if he has managed to get down there and mark the road. As far as what evening, what is good for people? I was thinking Wed evening...hump day and all.

Op. Check the fit on the crown race...if this isn't really tight on the fork it would explain the shimmy.

Hump Day Havoc!! WOOOOO!

ps. Keith: you gotta get your arse in gear for some midweek Don rides too. I rode a whole other section that was new to me last night with Brad and Pyze (and Dave who drove your van). Good times.

If it wasn't for these darn inconsiderate customers wanting their bicycles repaired I would be there. 10 p.m. finish last night
On another note if anyone is in need of Campy compatible rear wheels I got a bunch on a blowout, cheap. P.M. me if anyone is in need.
