****. 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?

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.
