attn: pittsburgh
 

i'm going to be in braddock/pbg this tues/wed, and i'm looking to check out any or all of the local shops while i'm there. i'm not sure if i'll have my bike or the g/f's car or whatnot, but if anyone wants to show a guy around that would be killer.

The one crucial place to hit is Kraynicks, in Garfield ({link}) - it's like via bicycle in Philly, but four floors and a fourth of the price - lots of NOS and general OS, lots of weirdness. The bad news is the hours - it's closed Wednesday, and is open 11:30 - 6 (I think) on Tuesdays, so if that strikes your fancy, plan accordingly.

Also, if you have your (fixed) bike, there is a 6/6/07 "neighbor of the beast" alleycat - see http://myspace.com/pghbikeracing

Actually I think I'm coming back to PGH, too. For good this time. See y'all soon.

Sweet! Also, it's see yinz soon... practice makes perfect.
Buy a house for the price of a year's rent in G-ville! Actually, I just heard of a house for sale for $500 in Garfield... buy a house for the price of a month's rent in a lot of places.

Dude, totally. Yinz all know livinz CHEAP in th' ol' PGH.

Ugh I can't wait to down an IC and tear into a Primanti sandwich.


Maybe I can get a job at Gatto's.

HAW HAW!


Can't wait.

burgh is tha word!

gatto's...lol
dudes refused to sell me a cassette for my roadie, instead insisting i look at a some mtb, telling me it's a very affoardable solution to my problem. wtf. i don't even ride off road.

this thread is kind of exciting, i'm visiting soon for a job interview. i think i'm going to relocate to your lovely metropolitan area :)

I'll be returning to my beloved hometown in the middle of July. Problem is, I never really rode until I lived in Phoenix, so I'll have to learn how to 1.) ride hills, and 2.) ride in the cold when I get there.

Hills and humidity and winter build character. We promise no cactus spines in your tires or sunstroke (probably), Pinkmike. Also much less suburban sprawl and, uh, sailors, Ollyisk.

That is all.

i've worn my kraynicks shirt into via here in philly and received a discount, that was nice. i miss pgh so much though. mineos, 4.80 pizza at antoons, peoples restaurant, aeillos, going down to panther hollow and sitting by a lake right in the middle of the city. what a great place to live. always a good time to go back, have a few beers and sit dahn in da ville and chat yinzer with people on butler st.

i got to do some riding last night, ate at some thai gourmet place (on bella and something), hung out under a bridge somewhere... all in all a good night. i wish i could stay for the race tonight, but i have work tomorrow morning back in a-townz. sux.

You should probabaly just move here.

todays forecast:

70% chance of relo-f**king-cation.

**** was tight, real tight. i'll be back soon.

was a great city to live in... curious though, how long have the folks that still love it been there?

i burned out around 6-7 years.

It will be 14 years in September for me.

I miss my hometown :(

indulge someone who will probably never go to pittsburgh

whats yinzer
?

I've been here all 23 years.

someone who speaks pittsburghese http://pittsburghese.com/ theres more to it than that but thats the basis. it's a lifestyle really.

The 'burgh is fun time. I've lived in jersey all my life but i dated a girl from pittsburgh for a few years. I miss Peppi's and Fathead's. I dont miss Bado's.

MINEOS! Pizza + green olives, artichokes and hot pepper....


I'ma comin' home!!!!


We all need to get a PGH bikeforums ride/eat/drink arranged for my return.


I can't wait to get used to hills again.

PEPPIS IN THE PARK!!!! right in highland park, the pep steak with cheese there is BANGING!!! get some turners tea thug jugs from the shop right next door then chill out overlooking the river by tastee freeze. bangin

My ex would take me to a shaved ice place in the park run by two older people... Gus and Yaya's or something? Been there "since your dad was a lad" Weird what sticks in my head....
