I don't mean to be a bother, but I'm pretty sure you meant 'your' and not the contraction for 'you are' 
If you ever visit Vancouver let me know and I'll introduce you to some of our fancy beers along with some of that fancy talk.

Yeah that is true, he's a wet paint specialist. Does some pretty nice work though, especially if you are looking for custom detailing. So who is doing your powder coating for you?

And, on a side note, I think I will actually be in Vancouver in September. We have some friends in Calgary who we're meeting in Vancouver and going to the Elton John show with!

Cause I wanted a lock for when I'm not wearing my bag.
in 46t for the cruiser bike since 52t is a big too large of a gearing.
and some SPD cleats since I have been unclipping on accident lately.
For the tarck so I can have me a nice cold beverage and a seat.
Then a 20ft cable and Padlock so I can throw my track bike in the bed of my truck and not have to worry about it get stolen while I go into a store.

Nitto Technomic 26.0 quill stem and some Nitto M177 noodle bars. The noodle bars are absolutely perfect and the technomic gets the bars up a bit higher since I'm not as bendy as I used to be. Feel so much more comfortable and stable in the drops than I previously did (something I complained about on here). Perfect combo.

I just bought these jonxes:
PDW 3Wrencho (it just feels right)
Sock Guy Magic Unicorn Socks (they will add ten watts of power)
Scott MTB Team BOA (BOA plus they fit my wide ass feet and are pretty comfy)
and I got the Shimano A-530s for freeeeeeeeeeeeee, however I plan on using them jonx on my Disc Trucker and getting some dual sided SPD pedals for my langster. Probably Deore XT or XTR but I might go cheaper who knows.

Still kicking.
I own 3 pdw 3wrencho's, one of my favorite tools.
Didn't just get these:
Izumi Super toughness chain for the surly
Easton Bar Tape(awesome tape for the $$$) for the surly.
Easton Aero road drop bars for the Surly
With the bars, I have thus gone full easton on the surly.

The last thing I've bought for my Fuji was a track chain. It costed me like 25 euros but it feels much better. However it screeches from time to time and I don't know why.

I got a Tektro dual-pivot front brake for my track bike, for riding on the street. It works great!
