twin123 Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Any one have any suggestions for sunglasses? Also does anyone have any takes on the Cancellara "doped" bike rumours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acer910 Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 redstarworldwear.com all their sunglasses are priced without the zero on the end (180 dollar sunglasses become 18 dollar sunglasses) in order to get their name out there. the RS4's look to be decent for cycling, mine are in the mail.

rubbish heap two Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Fuck this weather. Fuck this weather. Fuck this weather. I didn't ride 15+ hours a week every week in the winter through shit rain and wind to have... more shit rain and wind in June. Guess who just turned into a big old SoCal pussy despite being native Oregonian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fat ralphy Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Who rocks a helmet? What brand? I got a Bell on sale for 60$....helmets are fucking nerdy, this is going to take some getting used to. Any recommendations on a good bag to use for commute, the single strap nylon jawn i got now is crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KM4RT Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 I have a Specialized helmet, it was around AU$200. Wouldn't ride without one. :lol: hope the sunglasses thing isn't a scam, I'd order some but they don't ship here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fist 666 Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 ralphy--i've had a chrome bag since highschool that gives me mad street cred with the douchebags, and is also really comfortable/functional. and i've had it for over a decade and besides some minor fraying its held together well. when i need more space i've got a spyder traditional style bag that sits high and is comfy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soul vice Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 I've got a Giro Indicator I think it is, only like $50 and dorky as hell but I only wear it when trail riding so it's whatever. As far as bags go, I don't know if your a photography type of person but I'm about to get one of these- http://blicksbags.com/ It's a messenger bag, but the inside has a velcro divider system like that of a camera bag so that you can rearrange/whatever. I'm looking forward to just being able to carry a body and a lens or two with all my usual shit. Plus the pocket in the back of the bag is good for laptops, I've heard.

soul vice Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Yeah I first heard about them on bikeforums, but the bag is like exactly what I need. I'll probably order one sometime next week. Supporting fellow Ohio-ans doesn't hurt either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shittles..TasteTheAsshole Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 This hot weather in Toronto has been nice for riding my new bike this last few weeks.

acer910 Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Why is the fork backwards? What advantage does that yield? moves the front wheel a few cm back, allows rider to get closer to the car. and how bout that gear ratio! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joker Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 Drove the team car on Saturday for stage 4 of the Mt Hood Cycling Classic. Definitely an interesting way to watch a race. A little bit chaotic and a little bit fun. It was definitely fun to honk like a madman at a sheriff to get the hell out of my way so I could get back to the caravan after fixing a flat for a rider. The scenery in my own backyard is amazing... and the course for stage 4 was either up or down, mostly up. Not a flat section of road in sight in 98 miles. No exaggeration.
