2008-07-06 21:57:19   What was objectionable about this edit? If I'm reading it right he gave reference to a nearby landmark. —JasonAller

2008-07-06 22:00:12   Sorry, figured it out. I'll invite him to create a page for the new business. You only removed his second comment and I missed his first. —JasonAller

2008-08-20 21:40:16   Jason and I both fixed it at the same time. There was a bold in the very top announcement that wasn't closed. —JabberWokky

2008-10-08 09:06:59   Sagat has yet to acknowledge the existence of her own page, perhaps you could clue her in that she can click her name and voila? Uni does need some color!

Hey, want a challenge you won't be able to fix (no shop in Northern California has been able to help me, including all the usual suspects in Davis bike church,bike exchange, places in sac, etc)? I have a 4 speed sturmey archer from a moulten that is from early 60's and has working full suspension, the piece that goes in the center of the sturmey (axle thingy) snapped... I really want to get this bike working again cause it's just awesome and utterly classic... —StevenDaubert

2008-10-08 19:26:12   Heya, is there a fee to get an appointment on Sunday? My back wheel bearings are shot and need to be replaced. I might even need a red tuning (or at the least a yellow) once you see how bad the wheels are. —SunjeetBaadkar

2008-10-09 10:41:57   What sunny warrants a response but I don't? —StevenDaubert

2008-10-20 10:34:51   What up Aaron, I talked with Sagat yesterday and apparently she is having one of her buddies who is an artist come in from Japan! Like I said sagat wasn't aware of the personal page, but I told her how to peep scene!

P.S. give the students there fixie fix and when it slows down and you want a real challenge I will bring my moulten thru. I honestly don't expect you to succeed where every bike shop for 50 miles hasn't, but it's still worth a shot! —StevenDaubert

2008-10-20 21:05:49   Hello Aaron. Thank you very much for your offer! Actually we have been working with a couple artists about showcasing their work in our shop. However, nothing will be confirmed until November. I shall let you know as soon as I find out! —Sagat

2008-12-09 19:18:28   sounds great! —StevenDaubert

2008-12-13 07:38:46   No problem. I've been meaning to mention that there are some issues with that layout on smaller monitors, with the images on the left and right top pinching the text. You might want to move the ones on the left down to the text. It's not a tremendously big deal, but if you have your browser window sized certain ways (or have certain resolution screens), it can look odd and hard to read (the table gets squeezed). I think I fixed it awhile back, and you migrated the photos back up over time, but I never bothered to fix it again, as it's not a terrible problem. When it gets really small, the table pops to below the photos. —JabberWokky

2008-12-24 12:47:06   Did you ever get a chance to visit Konditorei at it's old location? —StevenDaubert

2008-12-24 12:54:19   ¬_¬

So yeah, scratch trying to fix the moulten, my dad would rather throw away history then have it take up a small small spot of his garage... —StevenDaubert

2009-04-23 02:15:34   you should try thai dynamite —StevenDaubert

2009-07-25 17:18:32   Thanks. I already got my current issues resolved but maybe next time. —RealComputers

2009-07-31 10:07:57   Well, the first thing that comes to mind when setting any event up is the audience. First off, what kind of crowds it brings. Understandably that would be the biking community. However, there is that secondary issue of the money-making community. My worry is the legitimacy of this sort of event. There would have to be a way to make sure that parts being traded and sold are not illegally obtained. What is to stop someone from stealing a random bike earlier in the day, breaking it apart, and then selling the non-licensed parts? When a bike is licensed via TAPS or whatnot, it is licensed as a whole. That is just a random thought that comes to mind (evil minds aren't necessarily evil themselves). Reputable vendors would need to be contacted and non-reputable vendors would need to be verified. However, the perfect venue would be Central Park. It is close to most places people bike near/to so that works out pretty well for the people who somehow aren't reached by advertising methods. As far as advertising, that is the easy part. With enough time (but not too much time), the internet, flyers, word of mouth, and calling in favors is how it is done (at least in my world). I could easily help with that part if you need. But frankly, I think it is a great idea if only the people buying and selling were people at manned booths with a background that is traceable. I think the idea that someone can walk up off the street and sell something to someone other person off the street is a bit tricky if there is an altercation. Otherwise, great idea. It would need to be brainstormed more, but yeah. Let me know if you want my help. —SunjeetBaadkar

2009-09-14 14:58:00   Hey Aaron, I have a cheap mountain bike, the pedals have some movement that they shouldn't have (it's kinda up and down, as if they aren't seated with the axle or whatnot) I have another exact copy of the same cheap bike that doesn't have the problem... How do I swap / repair? —StevenDaubert

Upon further reflection I think I'm going to just unbend the other bikes bent derailer hanger and then move the good derailer onto the old bike... How much do you want for use of a chain breaker onsite @ apex ?

2009-09-22 08:51:57   Others might disagree, but I think the reason to keep those brief is because the page is a directory pointing people to the more detailed entries about each shop or resource. The text should be however long it takes to distinguish each for somebody scanning over the list looking for something particular. —JabberWokky

2009-10-15 19:47:40   it's not affordable by any means, and what exactly does "green" mean and why are we so fixated? I'm against this project simply because the developers are throwing money ($75,000+ and full time workers) against locals, doing the grass roots things...

This proposal encourages the continuance of the development of Davis (the paving of agricultural land), by non local developers for (relatively) quick profits. The site in question has already been voted on, and should stay as the horse ranch it was zoned to be.

If you want more reasons, I can continue —StevenDaubert

2009-11-11 10:46:53   Aaron, that was a great factual refutation that you provided to Ash, but asking them to not edit the APEX Cycles & Service page goes counter to the idea that nobody owns that page. I also have to add that I noticed his edit and not being a member of either the club or the team I went to both their websites and Apex wasn't listed in their sponsors sections; maybe you can get them to list you there to avoid future confusion and to get Apex the credit it deserves. —JasonAller

2009-11-20 17:36:32   I was wrong about the DBC thing, my bad. I was on both sites and didn't see anything, so I assumed the wiki was out of date. I really don't think you have total control over the page, though. —Ash
