Rides and Races - DC Pirates' Pillages and Plunders

patrick- you should have come to knight rider last night.

raul- there are pirates that can build wheels. unfortunately, i am not one of them. baldy just built some, spud has built some, poopncow can build them, just try and bribe them into teaching you whenever somebody mentions they can help you.

Do I smell a wheel building/truing party in the near future?

Oh, wait, that's my socks.

last wheelbuilding party i went to smelled EXACTLY like your socks.

think we can actually get through quicksilver this time?

thanks guys, just talked to dirty. wheel building party sounds good. i'd definately love to observe the process. sadly i'm lame and have never attempted to even true. my spoke wrench sits quietly in the box unloved.

i think its one of those things you just have to do to get good at. which is exactly why i want to build a wheelset.

edit: so when is this party?

We can fix that. Let's discuss a day for this at pizza tonite.

Do you have tomato sauce yet? I know we were sadly lacking in that last time!

I'll drop by Whole Foods before the party to get some toppings, I'm thinking sun dried tomatoes, pesto, some mystery dealie.

Poll - Bike Parts or Winter Bike Clothing?!

bike parts! winter bike clothing = wear layers.

edit: i hope you didn't mean as a pizza topping.

i'm unfortunately out tonight, and most of this weekend, and all of the next two weekends (yeah i know i suck) so for me it'd have to be a weeknight or wait a month or so.

Bike parts AND winter clothing.

john, at least come to the picnic on the 14th.

good luck moving, if you need any help you can call.

thanks doo, i'll call if i need a hand. i'll be tearing down the c&o from cumberland with my dad and brother that weekend, but if we make it back in decent time, i'll try to bring em by. that'd be deck.

I pretend I can build wheels...Too bad all my tools are back in Colorado.

Oh, and Hi Amanda! Drivers in DC like to hit me (three times in the last month), but fortunately they don't hit hard. *shrug* It's actually not too bad.

I built my wheelset, which is probably why it's so badly out of true! I'd definitley be in on a party, if only to true my wheels. I'd also love to build up some more wheels, but nashbar sold out of thier rear track hubs, and I accidentally bought a front hub. Oh well, $15.00 not so well spent... I've done worse... MUCH worse.

Oh, if you plan on getting hit, be sure to ride with friends so they can be a hardass to the driver.

Poll - Bike Parts or Winter Bike Clothing?!
I vote for bike parts used as winter bike clothing.

calling all DC cyclists:

Yup. Seriously, I need to get rid of this thing, and it's hard when people don't appreciate the fact that the ads are all 100% true.

Will check out the other board, thanks.

DAMMIT i just scored one offa ebay. and those cl postings are hilarious.

if it fits this raleigh i'm fixing up i'll buy it. i'm serious. i'll bring it over to pizza at poop's tonight to take the bb off, see if the threading is right, and measure it to see if it will fit.

well durn.

if anyone else is interested, my dumb a$$ also ordered the wrong kind of brakes from Nashbar the same time i ordered the BB... apparently I needed long reach while these are standard, i.e. "Jail Brake". price is whatever the catalog says plus $1 because i'm a dick like that (also to recoup some of shipping).

they're black.

they also fight terrorists.

hmmm... i might be interested in that as well if they would fit the nakamichi.

any luck with the dumbo ears?


You know....I have been looking, but I have yet to find the perfect pair.

So monkeys, elephants, and hippos....any more requests?

Gorillas!

Polar Bears!

Penguins!!!!!!!!!!!!

what size is that campy BB?

Parrots for pirates!

what size is that campy BB?

was 111mm, someone snatched it up though. sorry man.

got some brakes, though.

they fight terrorism.

its kinda hard to true wheels in a room of people with all the noise. However, lacing and pre tension is fun with in bunches, esp if you can distract someone into the baldylocks pattern...sorry man, that was funny. We'll discuss over Za, and you can admire the new front wheel I just finished. That makes 8, 3 more in the immediate plan :)

yo peter, you got any used campy stuff you're trying to unload? (obviously not the show pieces)

tryin to do that pogliaghi justice without breakin the bank.

Hello everybody! I'm bringing tomato, eggplant, and zuchini to poopncow's pizza event of the millenium, just a little of each. Think I'll marinate it all with garlic, soy sauce, ginger, pepper. No one else better trump my veggies tonight! I'll show up on time if I can bring my beastly sidekick Krisee Caramel. Otherwise, suffer the cold absence of my greatness. Tonight, we eat like royalty!

Front deraileurs, a veloce hub (NOS), some C-record hubs, a spare 10 speed record crank.... you can pay in buritos.

Someone find the person who is buying the BB and pay him/her not to. Those ads are too funny! I can laugh til the gotterdameron (go ahead try to spell it correctly)

i'm the person buying the BB. if spud wants it, it goes to him, if not, i'll find something to use it on.

you better find some campy cranks to go with it :rolleyes:

babychris is probably throwing campy cranks on his raleigh.

somethin will come along.

a modolo brake set (EBK has the front but she is not using it at this moment)

Are you building it as a geared bike? does it have to be Campy? If I decide to keep Basso, there will be a Miche MA2 wheel set on the market....maybe :) there will be burritos til the gotterdoomeran

You realize that the taper is ISO

i'm not putting it on my bike. i grabbed it cause spud asked somebody to grab it. and if spud says no, i'll find a use for it.

insatall it in Noah Prime's ear and I'll ride on it...

i've got campy cranks, its a matter of deciding what to put them on. a campy polo bike would make people cry :)
