nothing fancy - just a Mercier Kilo tt off bikesdirect. its my daily commuter now so i've been looking for some shallow drops to put on it (risers were cool for all of one week). if anyone here has a set they want to get rid of let me kno
I have a couple pairs of drops I'm willing to sell. All new.
1. Race Face Cadence 31.8 x 42cm
2. Colnago anatomic 31.8 x 42cm
3. FSA Omega Ergo 31.8 x 40cm
I know this is not the 'for sale' thread, so PM me if you're interested. Otherwise, I would suggest you go to OCB or Ride On or Pedal Depot or North Shore Sports Swap to get a cheap pair, especially if you're going to chop them.
I wish I can specify the details. It was at 5 Road and what would be equivalent to Francis. All I saw a guy laying on the side of thestreet with the paramedics just arriving at the scene. A blue Ford hit him. That's all I know.
Ouch. That's so scary. I'm always worried about gettin hit by a car
Got my first bike since highschool. The Dahon Mu P8 folding bike.
Took it out for the second time and I wiped out hard!!
Road rash on my palms =[...still fun though

Biked from north bby to dt for work today. Felt really nice ride in the morning.
But I don't think I'll be riding back home though lol.. too many cars. I'm gonna try to keep doing this for a minimum 2x a week.
the last time i biked was in my teenage years doing pathetic off-trails in burnaby's central park in my $300 CT bike haha
YES. More for your safety and enjoyment than anything else. If that was your last biking experience, you're not going to have a very good time at the Whistler Bike Park after spending $60+ for a lift ticket without some level of instruction
I enjoyed riding Whistler's park a lot more maybe about 6-7 years ago. But since then the trails have become catered to more advanced riders and the novice/intermediate trails that I like to ride don't justify the price of the lift ticket plus gas/time to get up there.

It's not too bad if you stick to the Adanac Bike Route. Yes, cars still travel on the route, but there's plenty of cyclists as well so hopefully they notice you.
Ride safe!

I got into road biking last year. I managed to pick up a Triace (Taiwanese brand) from Wal Mart USA for 400 bucks. It came with a carbon fork, Shimano parts, and bladed spoke wheels. I've logged close to 600 kms on it so far and it's still holding up great. Sadly, I don't think Wal Mart sells it anymore. It would be a perfect bike for a newbie who wants to get into riding for cheap.
A couple of friends and I did an awesome bike ride a couple of weeks back. Started at Park and Tilford in North Van, took the low roads to Lions Gate, through Stanley Park to Pacific Blvd over Burrard Bridge, to Jericho beach through UBC, stopped at Jethro's for some eats, then back over Second Narrows. I think it was just over 80 kms. Nothing beats ripping through Vancouver on a sunny day and working up a good appetite!
Im stuck between the specialized allez and the jamis ventura comp. Anyone have any input or opinion?
Btw liquidturbo do u mind me asking where you got it and how much it cost? Thanks in advance
I went to Caps and got the allez for $1600. Yes that's a lot, but I wanted to splurge, esp since its a new model. The previous year models with the SRAM drivetain were like $1200. I demanded a full 105 component sent and thats why I got. I've been super happy with the bike so far although I wish it came with a carbon seatpost.
Super comfortable and fast ride. I did 113km last weekend and I wasn't tired at the end of it.
