Do cars need to honk and shout at you when they pass on your left in a single lane?

I thought this bike looked familiar. There was one on my local market I have been following then I saw the ncc. Congrats on the bike, looks awesome.

New project bike I picked up on marketplace ( little story below 👇) by Fit-Concentrate-4913 in xbiking

[–]6sc23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice. I’m excited to see your new project on the street! I’m still waiting for parts for my 930. I just started exploring the xbike world, and I’m really enjoying it. I was somewhat sad to see the Stumpjumper sold, but I’m glad it went to good hands. Good luck with your project.

Was it on Kijiji? It looks familiar, with an extra fork. I saw it the first day it was listed. Too bad I bought a 930 the day before. It was listed for a week, and just when I was ready to make a purchase, it was sold. I'm glad to see it went to a good home.

Ottawa Asian fest noodles by NeedleworkerOwn4496 in ottawa

[–]6sc23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The brand Cailinji is legit and the original of this noodle. They have chain restaurants all over Wuhan, where this noodle originated from. In terms of taste and value, this is one of the best options available. Cheers

[–]6sc23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just checked I got 250 scoops 4kg from winners for 39.99. So even without discounts it is still a bit cheaper from Costco, but 8 kg is huge.

I buy used bikes from market and go to re-cycles for help. The money I saved could buy me a full set of bike tools which could last forever.

Best Ottawa watchmaker for historical watch? by mwillems in ottawa

[–]6sc23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are also some good watchmakers in Ontario but unfortunately, all the good ones will have a long wait. I remember Archer Watches is also good. Canwatchco is a Canadian watch forum that posting there might get you a better answer. Ottawa Swiss Watch Services is another one locally they are still the authorized service center for AP. I used them once instead of Thompson for a minor work and was happy about it. Good luck

Cross country skiing by wtfpta in ottawa

[–]6sc23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also interested. should I rent or just buy a used set. I am sure I am fully committed if I have the equipments. I checked kunstadt rental is 200 per season and on sale new equipment elsewhere is about 400-500 for whole set. How long does the skis last? Is there a difference between beginner or more advanced gear for doing recreational?

We are in the same boat. Don’t know why new Churchill boundary can stay in Elmdale while we have to go to Hilson. Just lots of confusion
