of course. feel better bro!

how much are you asking? i know some guys on the BU downhill team that might be interested.

BU has a downhill team? Wow. Not sure about price. Anybody interested should contact me and make an offer off-list: rsarnold[at]gmail.com

ok, i'll ask around and see if any of them are interested, and pass 'em your e-mail if they are

edit: the initial reaction was: what year? apparently the design changed in the past couple of years

Frame is about 5 years old, and indestructible. Partial component list: Maxxis tires, Mavic Rims, XT drive, Raceface Northshore crankset, Psylo fork (I think), Evil bashguard, Azonic platforms. Yeah, it was pretty dope when I actually rode the beast.

Edit: I'd trade for a nice road bike. Or a wicked nice track bike.

Was planning to ride around Brighton this afternoon to check out some of the checkpoints for tomorow. Anyone interested PM me. Maybe around 4 or so

going to throw this out again... i would like to borrow a 55cm(ish) bike for a few days, this fri- sun for the significant other while she's in town. it would be mucho appreciated!!

Probably not exactly what you want but, if you've got a saddle and wheelset than I've got a ride for ya...


I took the saddle and wheelset off my old ride and I'm using them with my current one...

i have an old fixed convertion you could use, it's a 55cm, breakless though, i remember you mentioning she didn't ride fixed though?

hit me up if you'd like.

yeah, i need something that can coast... thanks though dude.

i might actually have something but its not technically a complete bike since the front brake isn't installed... its my old conversion frame converted to three speed with risers. i need to file out the front brake hole to get the new brake in.

I swear that once I move I'm going to try to be social again. I miss riding with other people but I just haven't had the time at all.

wait, I have a portfolio submission to work on in march so after that maybe...

anyone in mission hill/JP looking for people to ride with? i want to ride more, but i always feel like i have nowhere to go.

i work in jp. and i'm always looking for people to ride with. i would be up for riding after work if people are in the area around 4.

i know there is a place for this..... but....

it's going to be a big part of all of our lives... <3

don't be shy... say hello

that's sexy

i envy you.

that thing looks like a regular piece of ****... it isn't even drilled for brakes... you should just sell it and buy an iro!

scott, what the eff were you thinking buying a bike made by a consumer electronics company.

it's all like "i'm gonna go to best buy and see if magnavox has any titanium road frames."

scott, don't listen to these overly sarcastic no-panasonic-ridin' foolz, that bike is 'teh sekksy.'

also, there's a hot pink panasonic that's locked up all over new york and no one can figure out who it belongs to, but DAMN do those things look rad when they're built up.

was anyone else riding home when it started snowing tonight? i was coming home drunk from a bar and got lost and distracted going through brookline doing skids. good times.

would anyone be down for a St. Patricks day blitz?

no pbr, no schlitz, not gansette...

just guinness.

or maybe car bombs? umm i mean, bike bombs.

Anyone riding tonight?

i was just about to see if anyone is up for a short ride tonight.
i'm good for a short ride at 10 from the christian science center, i just don't want to be the only person there.

I'd be down for a ride. I'm on the snowbike today, so i'll be riding really, really slow.

Oh man, that sounds sick. I have a bunch of friends coming to visit that weekend though (and none of them ride bikes), so we'll see.

i'll be at the christian science center at 10 tonight if anyone wants to come out.

I was all gung-ho to come out tonight until like an hour ago. Next week maybe.

i was eating candy and watching youtube with my roommate - suckers!

f*ck man. i was out there, for about 30mins at the christian science center. you all should have come out.

there is *nothing* wrong with going to a blitz on foot. :)

as for the ride tonight, my excuse is that I am at my parents house.

you don't need an excuse for this ****...

I didn't feel like freezing my balls off, that's why I'm not going out anywhere.

"it could be worse" *


*i figured it had to be said by someone

agreed, it could be worse. if i didn't have work far too early this morning i would've been there gary. it seems like i'll be sitting out the thursday night rides for a while until my days off change. and shame on you, tristan, for saying that all the GIRLS are hiding b/c it's "too cold out for them". i've been on my bike every single day of the new year. it's going to be a long time from now before i let you live that one down. :)

yo, its not even that cold if you gear up right.. only my face was cold today but thats bc i was too lazy to put my facething over my nose. i just got some ski goggles though, and they have been awesome the last couple of days. not totally necessary though. also, windproof tops mean you really don't need to wear a whole lot underneath...

yeah, windproof **** is the shizzy... a lifesaver really! monster track... see you all there *****es.

I'm delicate. :(

hey luke! what time are you gettin' into nyc? are you gonna make it to any pre reg stuff? i'll keep a lookout for you and the rest of boston tomorrow!

Not sure. I work until 4:30 and I haven't been able to find a place to sleep tonight. So I'm thinking I'm going to head up tomorrow morning or something. Who knows. It'll feel good to ride in NYC again.

so... has boston fallen asleep?

for real.

I'll just start things up with this.

March 24.
there will be a race.
a teamed race.
teams of 4.
this will be madness.

start finding team mates, because if you don't have a team, you will not race.
location TBD
Price TBD
Sponsors TBA

probably won't affect many, but i know some of the actual messengers of boston, including myself, that come to these things are planning on going down to philly this day for a race celebrating a long time member of the community's leaving on a cross country tour.

thanks for the info.

I was planning on originally doing this 31st, so the 31st it is.
gives me more time to plan.

luke -
Everyone seemed to move to the i hate boston thread, it has cerinally gotten more action than this thread usually does.

and also congrats on doing well at MT8. You repped Boston well.

oh, and also, just so everyone knows. I am leaving to return to rochester on the 4th, so the Dude Abides will be my bicycle going away party!

Less than two weeks, gasp.

And scott, I am totally going to see if I can get a rochester blitz started. It's just too ridiculous not to spread.

woah woah,

When the crap did all of this happen? up and leaving without telling anyone... you should be ashamed.

P.S.: Its alright... because I'm leaving here at the end of April.
