Just wanted to thank the cyclist from the Major Taylor club who helped me with a flat tire on the west side path today after I had run out of CO2 cartridges. You saved me a long, cold walk home, and I have sworn never to depend on C02 cartridges again! Will pay it forward.

Selling my first road bike...22K miles, never crashed, well maintained. All carbon Specialized Tarmac Expert. Mavic Ksyrium Equipe wheels, red Conti 4000 tires. Dura Ace Compact (50/34), Ultegra cassette/chain, Ultegra shifters/brakes. Make me a reasonable offer and I'll consider it. Feel free to contact me for more specs if necessary at [email protected]

Hi,

Does anyone have a 110 mm bcd chainring, just sitting around collecting dust? I need one to see if it will fix a shifting issue I have, but I don't need a good one or a new one, so if anyone has an old one around, please get in touch. I will pick it up from you, and I'll pay you some rapidly deflating American dollars for it.

Regards,
Jim

I posted this link to 5BBC message board as well and am planning some permanent routes.
This is the link to read what a permanent is: http://www.rusa.org/perminfo.html

This is one of the ways I plan to train over the winter. If anyone wants to help me plan some routes and/or
ride any, let me know. I will post scouts on NYCC as well. :)

This past Sunday, (12/19) I found a set of keys (2 kings on two rings attached to each other) on 9W going south toward the bridge just past the Alpine Police Station entrance. Thought I would pick them up and see if I could get them back to their owner...

I responded to RRosenthal's post but it doesn't seem to be nesting/threading properly.

Also, why are the comments fields still white text on blue background.

Both should be easy fixes, no?

Happy holidays.
