****. I need a front brake caliper that will work on a Surly Steamroller 1 1/8" fork and I need it before noon tomorrow. Extra long reach is what's required ... Anyone (shops or bike geeks) have something new(ish) that fits this bill?

6 month aniversary with the gf on the weekend. i want to take her to a nice but not crazy $$$ resturant. ideas? No dumplings! :D

I dunno, george has everything :)

George had an old school ITM fluted seatpost (26.8mm) for my Pake. George is teh bestest.

Neighborhood an issue? For something a little different, Boujadi Cafe on Eglinton near the Allen is nice. Moroccan cuisine. Joe's the Nose is at Leslie and Queen and is pretty good although pricier.

Sushi Marche (across the street from C.T. a block east of Pape on Queen) has AMAZING sushi ... maybe you could go buck wild and take her out for lunch and dinner (they're not really a fancy sit-down place, more of a sushi cafe). Prices are totally reasonable, eg. slightly more expensive than the sandwiches I get from Loblaws and worlds better.

FIELD TRIP

I've found them at La Bicicletta in the past, if you haven't tried them already.

sounds fishy

Hey, I'm stuck down in St. Catharines with slim pickings on conversion frames. I've been watching toronto craigslist, but if anyone has any complete setups or know of any good frames please shoot me a message!

peace

What size do you need?

And much exceptional scotch ( and one Irish) was had by all...

Second that, probably the best sushi I've had in the city.

Heh St.Catharaines. That town made me feel uneasy ...

It's your almond thighs. They get you in trouble that far south.

Anyone sell, or have 9 speed barcon shifters for sale?

I have a pair (I think), I'll see how much they may be...

Coolio, keep me posted.

sorry about the mixed nationality; i was pressed for time and didn't want to bring one of the usual suspects (morangies / livets, etc).

thanks for having us.

yeah, thanks for hosting us scallwags. That last one I tried (really smokey) was grrrrrrrreat.

You were asking about the SRAM stuff at P-A I believe. Time to track down Lynne Bessette then I guess since she's the second person shown and it starts by pulling back from a close up of her Force brifter.

... bit off w/ that file photo, guys. Kind of a different context from the story ...

Tack Somna's info onto her podium chit chat:
"I had a little mechanical: my derailleur broke so I didn't have a lot of gears."

Ahh ffs, so did it get hit, did she crash, did it just magically **** off and die on her? Looks like I will need to track her down and get a ride report.

Sauvignon in the Beaches...just west of Woodbine on Queen. Very good food...not super pricy..excellent service and a cosy atmosphere. You can read my latest restaurant reviews at grumpyoldman.com.
