bummer central.

u-lock justice all the way

that's got U-lock and parking meter all over it. Somebody falls over., kicks the ride against..... oh it just hurts to look.
Halfway up the tube? Whatcha gonna do BC?

im not sure what im going to do. it had t of been someone kicking it against something or hitting it, cause I always lock it up bu the head tube. itd probalbly be alot to have the whole top tube replaced.

seriously NBW folks, if i come thursday am i going to be able to get in to rummage for some parts or am i going to be waiting outside for 2 hours? should i come early? how early?

who wants to ride up to bilenky this week so I can discuss getting my top tube replaced.

If there's a ride up to Bilenky, I'll ride back if you're leaving there at 5:30-6. When I ride home I go right past there. And I've always wanted to stop by and check it out.

I think belinky is going to quote you somehting like 350 plus paint. Totally not worth it for me. A friend of mine(+bob from belinky) are going to help me replace the tube myself once I find a temp replacement for it.

Also. the bike room is shaping up (notice my sculpture: "bike knot")

you could get it coupled and lugged where the ding is in the top tube

Yeah, Bob suggested that to me. Said it was the perfect spot to put one. But thats even more cash of course

I'm drunk. ANd bleeding, I am going to drink more to make it stop.

stop by infintie tomorrow since I can't race.

I finished my s/s mtb tonight. tons of fun. I rode up 6 stairs. haha. awesome.

who's racing to-day? anybody want to ride up from south philly? i'm planning on leaving at 2.

Bah. Meh. Hmmm. How about a crazy early morning ride? Like 6am. Or 5? We'll see how you night owls like it. Not that I'm not a night owl. Monday I was up until 1am putting the sweet light set I got at TTown on the cruiser. And the Brooks got mounted (ewwwww) so's I can break it in. Yay! (or nay?)

We could call it the "Sunrise Cycle Sicko Spin" or somesuch thing.
Woah... a "get yer ass to werk" ride, where everyone meets at the break of dawn and does laps on some huge loop around the city. One by one riders can drop and duck into work when they need to...

Brilliant!!

ugh. im going to go cry now.

where was your bike when this happened? all this bike vandalism is making me glad I'm moving to Collingswood in July. Sorry to hear dudeThere was an ambulance on the bike path (detour) behind the art museum anyone know what happened?

it happened sometime between yesterday and when I noticed it around 7pm today. I was locked up at a bunch of places, including some bro-down party last night. ugh.

Chris, Kill The Motha Fuicka

I would if I knew who it was. im going to retire this frame.

you can always give me the frame... when you come back to the FLA

I would if I knew who it was. im going to retire this frame.

I say ride it a few more times, lock it up, get some booze and a lead pipe and have a good ole fashioned stake out.

haha, I should do that. its not going to be replaced until I figure out the new frame situation.

kill the man that questions!

damn babychris, sorry to hear/see that. i second the stake-out idea.
