Sidartha Indian Buffet in Little India... North side of Gerarrd....mmmmm good all you can 15ish per person...and King Fisher beer

Yeah, Dave (tempo) mentioned something about that just after the race. He might have more info.

52, 53.

Yeah, I feel you there. It's not so bad during the school year, but once brock gets out the crazy homeless come out and play.

Thanks guys

I was talking with some of the guys in the front group....a cable or something critical on her rear derailleur, in the 1st 10k. So she rode two speed 39 x 12, 44 x 12, but i'd imagine the former for most of it. nonetheless SS FTW!

Dual Dell p1110 21" crt 3200x1200 @ 85Hz desktop res... Life is good.

Who needs a home heating system when you can have two giant CRTs? :P

What mountain bike shoes should I buy? My main concern is that they must last forever, and have a really hard sole that won't get chewed up by my pedals like the last pair. I'm thinking dominators with their replacable treads but their fit doesn't seem conducive to walking. Should I pony up for the italian?

I find the Dominators awful for walking, personally, but the soles do seem fairly indestructible. Running up a hill offroad isn't too bad in them (since you're mostly on your toes then), but walking on flat ground is a recipe for a sprained ankle. They roll over really easy... and that's the Mega version!

Just make sure you get a Dominator 6 (or Dragon) and not a Dominator 5 if you want the replaceable sole.

I do totally love them though.. super comfortable, especially with different insoles.

There are bike co-ops here in Hamilton that may serve your purpose.

At McMaster's we have a few older road frames, then there's Recycle Cycles in the city, they have a bunch more.

Shimano would have my vote, if walking is any factor... I've had two pairs over the years (M110, M100) and they are good for durability, great for walking. In fact I pulled off a 2 hour hike in the M100's one day when my freewheel seized up. Could've called a cab but the walk was no problem at all. I've got the relatively cheap-o Sidi Rampa's now although they are lighter than the Shimano, better fit, way better for riding, they are tricky when off the bike exactly as noted above.

Awesome, I have some friends in Hamilton, maybe I'll try and get up there to visit them and check some stuff out. Thanks dude

not to mention the radiation directed straight at your junk :)

I had shimanos as well...they lasted forever...they were the boot ones that kinna look like sidis...lasted me 7 years or so...they just started to fall apart last year.

Figured out what hte problem was. When I took the bearings out of the cage I neglected to put more in, a lot more. I open the top race up and see the race is only half full!

Yeah.. my shimano mtb shoes are ~ 14 years old and still totally functional. The tread is too worn down for proper offroad traction, and they're ugly as hell, but otherwise they're great. And they went through several years of heavy race/group ride use back in my first iteration of mtn biking obsession. :) That said, the Dominators are far more comfortable than the Shimano shoes ever were. I love my Shimano SH MP-66's for city use, however.

oops!

Some bike shop is selling. Any ideas which one? Polly's?

Thats the rumour...

goddamnit.. I was listening to El-P this morning and I thought "hey, I wonder if he's touring soon", so I check on the Def Jux website and he played here last night! d'oh! I suck teh balls.

Also, I love this song.. I used to listen to it regularly to cheer me up at my old job: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwRlS2UVHA8

:P

Mr. Lif is great. His shows are always super fun, and that song is especially fun. I'd never seen that video but in one of those shots I was like "Hey is that whoopie goldberg?" I'm not nearly as big of a fan of El-P though.

Nah you get more radiation from walking down the street. A monitor capable of handling a variety of differing resolutions is the most important to me - LCDs still can't do that.

"Don't make me bite ya face (come on)
'Cuz it ain't like I like the taste
It's more of a psychological thing
My heart pace'll never change
But your cabbage'll get rearranged"

How could you not love El-P with lyrics like that? :D

edit: wait.. Did I post that yesterday too? It's been a Def Jux week. :)

Thats Polly alright.

Not sure if this has been posted before, but the Spring '07 Cadence video is pretty schweet.

I just emailed Dustin to tell him to put it on youtube so it's bigger than a postage stamp. :)

I've just never really been all that in to his voice and style... I'm kind of the same way with Mr. Lif but I still like him despite it. Maybe I'm just racist?
