Can I come and volunteer that day?

Brad and Tam, thanks for having us over yesterday!

What the heck is "Squab"?

:(squab
[SKWAHB]
A young (about 4 weeks old) domesticated pigeon that has never flown and is therefore extremely tender. It was a popular special-occasion dish in Victorian England. Squabs usually weigh 1 pound or less and have delicately flavored dark meat. Fresh squab is available throughout the summer months (year-round in some regions) in gourmet markets. Frozen squab is marketed year-round. Choose fresh birds by their plump, firm appearance. Store as for CHICKEN. Likewise, squab can be prepared in any manner suitable for chicken. A classic method is to stuff and roast it.

edit: that just sounds nasssssssssssty...

Keith, meant to also ask you last night if there's anything you can do re: my Rob Roy plan.. Else, I'll probably get in on the group buy. Temped by the nectar of that honey, too.... mmmm.

Any word on tonight?

coffee is awesome. that is all. :)

Can anyone help a sister in need?
A good friend of mine woke up this morning to THIS.

I'm looking for a 56-58 frame that I could build as a conversion or a complete bike in that size ON THE CHEAP!

There is much more to the story that I won't get into here but the bottom line is that she had her bike destroyed for all the wrong reasons, if anything she had it destroyed for being a good friend and I want to help get her back on the road ASAP.

Ouch that sucks. Who ever did that certainly went all out to make sure they finished the job...

Ugh.. people honestly have zero respect.

Hey has anyone found a way to keep up on forum posts without having to come to the forum all the time? I really wish there was a way to get the forum updates into my Google Reader. I've been so busy lately that I've been missing all the fun in the forum since I have not had alot of spare surfin' time...

There are a couple RSS feeds linked from forum pages, but unfortunately neither of them are specific to any particular threads. Might be something to suggest: http://www.bikeforums.net/forumdisplay.php?f=160. I did a quick search for "RSS" in there and didn't come up with any results.

I think we might need a back up plan for tonight if the weather doesn't cooperate: http://www.weatheroffice.gc.ca/city/..._metric_e.html

wow, that sucks. jordan seems like a really nice girl. if someone did that to my bike i would be out for blood. at least a finger or two.

oh, and brad! thank you so much for helping out on wednesday. it seemed pretty successful, so we might hold another repair clinic in a couple weeks. hopefully you get some business out of it too.

Go to the Thread Tools menu at the top, hit "Subscribe to Thread" and you can get the forum to e-mail you crap - that might be the easiest solution right off the bat.

Talk to Brad and/or Derek at Bike Joint....I know he has a couple of nice conversion ready frames in his basement. Prolly willing to let one go on the cheap for a sister in need. I can help you out with parts...is there anything salvagable or is it a complete re-build?

Mother Nature is a harsh mistress at times.

That reminded me of this Fenslerfilm GI Joe PSA remix:

G.I. Joe Indian looked be touching him in-appropriately where his bathing suit goes.

That whole series is mental! I am a fan of the burping contest and the ice sliding.

Oh man that blows. Last time I saw her we we talked about how awesome the paintjob was on that bike and how much biking rules. I'm not really in the loop at the moment but if I hear of anything I'll let you know. I certainly have lots of time to look on the internet...

Sounds like a good gig! You realize how important it is to have help in the tasting department right?

Yup can't say it's my first choice. But I opened my blind with my left arm this morning and was able to lift a half full milk carton onto the counter! Progress since yesterday. It's pretty slow but I'll get there. At least I can start on the trainer now. I'm craving moving my legs around in a circle :D

Brad did you make the pie filling from scratch? I may or not have dreamed of that pie last night. It was so good.

This one has always killed me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zt_KfBaRWxs

It pays the bills, too bad I'm not a pastry chef. Learning on the go. Next week is Rice Krispie Squares and puddin', lots of puddin'. Going to find Bill Cosby to get me some puddin pops. Some of the kids are awesome and almost all of them are super eager to work and learn. I've had no problems so far. And its been loads of fun working with these kids.

And to the Squab doubters, more for me then. So tasty and delicious, yummy yummy in my tummy.

Whats the original plan/starting time place etc.?

Matt, check your PM's.

****ty break, that's one hell of a mess they made of that.
The only 'spares' I have are all too small. I have 3 frames (two are built with what they came with) - all 19" - one Pooj, totally bare w/ fork (no BB and it's French threaded - so $$$) - I have a Bianchi, lower-end I'm told and a Gardin that's in a bit of rough shape, but complete. You're welcome to any parts off these for zilch or a very minimal cost, though I don't think they're terribly good quality - I'll provide pics if it sounds useful though.

Try CBN as well, those guys have a bunch of stuff that they maybe able to let go for the price of air or a little more.

Saw an ad on CL - 512 Euclid @ 8am tomorrow for some parts/tools from a wholesale closing... I'm probably gonna go looksee.

As for the GI Joe vids, this one has to be my fave:

A close runner up to PORKCHOP SANDWICHES! :D

Of course! That's how I roll yo. The filling is the easiest part of the whole thing!

Thanks everybody!
It looks like Cam's Bianchi may have a very new and very happy home this weekend!
Keith, I'll get in touch with you tomorrow morning or early afternoon - we're trying to figure out what we can salvage and what we've got collectively in terms of all of my friend's parts bins and what we can chip in financially to get Jordan back on the road ASAP.
Does anyone have a flip flop rear wheel (f & r wheelset preferred) for sale?
Peace,
Matt

Here comes the uglyness (weather). What are the plans stans?
