My Ottawa ride day.

I'm going to be in Ottawa in about 2 weeks. Il just be there for three days but I was planning on spending one of those days on "The Rusty Carl" (my bike).

I wanted to know if anyone could recommend some routes to take. Also looking for cool places to stop on my ride, maybe some bike shops with unique stuff.

Thanks!

Searching for track frame!

Looking to build a track bike this spring - but I'm having a tough time finding a decent frame around town! Looking for some advice on what I should be looking for in a high quality frame, and where I might find one. There are some True North frames at the bike dump for 220 wondering if this might be my best bet... though I must admit I kind of feel like I'm getting suckered when I buy new..

Bike mechanic looking for work. Currently residing near bank.

Anyone working in a bike shop know of any job openings? I'm a 4th-year mech, all self-taught with plenty of notches on my belt. I've done volunteering at Re-Cycles on Bronson for months and built many road/mountain/track/city bikes.. any input and suggestions are super appreciated.

Are Crew frames as good as they look?

I've been riding for 6 years now on a trek, it's got a sloped top tube so it's nice for the suburbial commute but I'm looking for something that can really sweep me off my feet. I was looking at crew frames cus titanium for that price seems tasty but I want something more track oriented that isn't an aventon but something that won't cost me 1000$ for just the frame and fork.... just looking for suggestions.

Need help... Building new bike

So i was planning on going for an argon 18 electron but i can't seem to find a retailer who sells only the frame. I'm saying this because i already have all the required parts for a full bike aside from the fork and frame

Does anyone know a place where I could buy an argon 18 frameset?? please not something in orleans or barrhaven..

thanks guys

Hi all,

Planning a group ride tomorrow, June 27, at 2pm. Meet up at the Somerset footbridge over the Canal. Bring some water, a helmet, and a bike.

Shouldn't be too intense and will probably end with beer.
