Very nice.

Losing the bike for an extended road trip was a factor. Denver made it easy.

Mango is option two. Black is the way to go, but I have no control over it.

Sweet. Bonus points for no red paint.

He's a little sore and drowsy but surgery went well, with the exception of losing his *****. He is a rat terrier same as my other kid. He is a rescue so it's possible that he may not be pure, if he isn't I believe he may have a little dachshund in him.

Beautiful.

Tasty lookin' frame there!

That Guru is a beauty. I've never heard of Guru until I read it in BF. Is it a new brand?

A metric ****-ton of work on the bathroom reno today. The drywall mudding was summed up yesterday so the ceiling got painted - and it looks great. We're re-taping for wall pain now and the first coat of wall paint will be in in a few moments.

The space where the chimney used to be is going to be a laundry chute and cabinetry - drawers below, and a cedar-lined linen closet above. I got the framing carpentry for that done.

Next up once the walls are fully painted is a pour of self-levelling cement on the floor, then a layer of Shuter underlayment, then the ceramic tile, and floor grout.

I probably won't get as far as the tile but the underlayment is cut.

I was really hoping to get the floor fully finished so the ****ter could be reinstalled and put back in action but I have to be at work in Toronto on Wed AM and there just isn't time.

There's also tub plumbing and tub wall tile to do yet. Plus the sink trap, and all the trim boards.

But it is starting to look like a room again. I'm really looking forward to seeing wall paint on.

No ride or trainer time today as I've been balls-out on the reno work all day.

Yet some people here whine about wrapping a bit of bar tape!

hey coasting,

Are you calling her miss coasting in case she reads the thread? Are you kissing ass? I bet she's reading.

I installed a ceiling fan @ Mom's place over Christmas break. I think that grants me full bartape kvetching permissions :)

In a brief flash of gumption I actually removed tape for the DB from the package about a month ago or so. Upon taking one roll over to the bike I decided, "meh, maybe later."

no comment. She's da best evar! (in case she's reading this)

Still? :p

If I remember the Paketa correctly those Mango hubs would look good. Herbie would normally be right but they are actually tastefully done instead of snazzy.

After black, mango was the only other color I liked. I've seen it before with Enves. Very cool.

I commented on tracking the cleanup operation using "Spy" last night.

Tonight, Spy seems to be disabled.

Hmmmm.

iSpy I believe you called it. I had no idea what you were talking about.

I think it used to be called iSpy, or I might have been having those Robert Culp fantasies again ;)

Well now, I can't be bothered to actually click on all the subforums and see what's new in all of them. I might have to just pick one. eenie-meanie-meinie-moe...

I still have no idea what you're talking about.

That helmet on rollers thread has GOT to go.

Hey thanks, I like it more than I thought I would and I thought I would like it. The red ones just do not look as good. Picked up the new team kit today too. It's very matchy matchy with the blue on the new frame. Velo Garanimals.

Guru is Canadian. I do not know a ton about them, but mostly they do custom. They became our team bike sponsor when our shop sponsor changed. The Flite is their non-custom Asian built road frame (low end for them).

Spy would just show a snippet of each new post as it was posted in real time. It would constantly scroll down, showing maybe the 30 latest posts forumwide. You could click on the thread title to go to the thread view.

I'd often monitor that to see what people are yapping about. So much easier than clicking down into subforums and checking out threads manually.

That guru bike looks sweet.

For those that don't know, guru is a Canadian company that is very well reviewed, even though many cyclists have not heard of them. I would love one someday.

I see.

It also showed post and thread deletions and who deleted them.
