Dude, lose the 40lbs of tape.

which one of you guys was at the farmers market today, witha Chrome Bag and Red bullhorned, eggbeatered fixie? Nice ride.

thats my home boy erick rogers its an iro markv

No way. I haven't seen Eric on his bike in months.

it's due to the weight of that ball and chain around his ankles i'm sure!!! ohhhh snap.....sorry, i'm hungover.

Lets ride today!

Or someone come by the shop and say hello.

LUKE, I need your help finding a new track frame. I sold the Fetish. I figured you're a good guy to ask because you spend a significant portion of your awake time scouring the internet for good deals. Thanks love.

How much are you looking to spend Robb? I've seen some great NJS frames lately, but they're all in the $700-$1200 range. Could be the last bike you own. That's my ultimate goal is too find the perfect Samson frameset and just ride it into the sunset.

I just got back from an early morning ride...hung over and in 90mph winds. I mind as well have had square wheels...freaking ridiculous!

I'll go as high as $800. There are some hot frames on Fyxomatosis right now. I'm looking at that white Jim Bundy..

I did about 20 miles this morning on the Paramount. Didn't have much of a problem with wind on my 36 spoke wheels.. Just sayin'

Robb, why such a hater? I'll let you shine my wheels for me if it'll make you feel better.

it's due to the weight of that ball and chain around his ankles i'm sure!!!

I guess he found something else to ride! Hi-yo!!!

mini peny farth

The mini farthing is rad...you need to race that @ the alleycat!

everyone know those 2, 4 and 6 seater bikes that they rent at the pier? i was thinking it would be a lot of fun to do a race where everyone had to ride those bikes. what do you guys think?

YESSSSSSS.

I saw one while riding with Matt, Matt, Robb and Todd. So awesome.

Brilliant.

We just need to setup a casual ride that happens every week, NO EXCUSES. Take turns on locations (Largo, St. Pete, Tampa, Clearwater, etc.) a nice ride, some food and a few pints.

Thats what i'm saying. And since i'm quitting yet another bike shop job, i'll have more time!

Yay!

i like that idea!

so should we try to make it on the same day every week? between school and work i have a pretty set schedule so if it's on the right day i would be down.

How about Monday, Wed, or Sunday?

i could do wed.

I work Sun-Thur nights, so don't count on me, sorry.

Well **** dude.

Its not final. We will all work out something. I wanna ride with everyone.

yeah its pretty sick i should have it and a couple other new bikes by mid march. Are you guys talking about having a fixed only group ride?

Tradition says that I spend St. Patrick's Day at O'Keef's in Clearwater on Ft. Harrison. Tradition also says that I will be useless the next day.

Well **** dude.

yeah, my schedule does wonders for my social life. thank god i have fri/sat off.

Luke...that bike sure is nice. I'll shine your wheels for you anytime.
I am up for riding anytime in approximately two weeks. I've stopped riding the de rosa for fear of messing it up. But this guy is coming from belgium....just shipped today.

...you *******.

I'll be track bike-less by this weekend which means I'm forced to ride the Paramount or the Aegis on the skreet.

Hey Robb...why'd you sell that frame anyways?

Someone made me an offer I couldn't refuse. I was never really keen on the whole aluminum/carbon thing and the frame was a bit too small for me.

I gotta be handy with the steel, know what I mean? Earn muh keep.

Thanks Matt :).

I would shine your De Rosa with my own hair. And jump in front of a bus for it haha.

HOLY **** that bike is nice. Such taste man. What is it though? I can't see the decals. Looks like an Eddy Merckx, but i'm probably totally wrong.

Robb: Did you decide yet?

I'll be riding (laps) around in Taylor Park (Largo) today after work...probably get there around 500pm if anyone is interested.

Luke, this post is mostly for you...here is your chance to ride in the middle of the week.

YAY!!

I'm so there. Can I call you around 4:30?

I'm so there. Can I call you around 4:30?

NO

I'll be up at the emerald around 11. Come, buy me a beer.

2nd annual first Friday ride this month gulf port beach then back in to down town. 630 @ demons landing the last time there was little over ten of us and it was still fun but unorganised this time there's a more definitive plan and thats whats up this friday

I'm hoping i'll be there.

the ride ant gonna start until after 7 but im telling every one 630 because last time we didnt leav until 730 because we all just chilled an hung out for a minute

yeah..you guys should ride on fri. yeahhhhhh

Alright so I'm going to meet up with Corey at noon tomorrow and check out a location that may be used for the race. After that I'm going to ride the course layout by myself (no riders welcome for obvious reasons). Anyone that wants to ride after that should come out. Tomorrow's weather is still some what sketchy, but it should be good/dry enough to ride.

Everything depends on the weather at this point for tomorrow so cross your fingers.

Weather sucks...if someone can get a hold of Corey, please let him know I'm not coming. Try this again later tonight if the weather moves through quickly enough.

You are the biggest ***** on earth when it comes to gray skies.

Actually just spoke with Corey and we'll be riding in a couple hours. You have a real problem Robb...try some yoga or perhaps some breathing control. Too much angst and bad energy coming from your mouth all the time.

And on that note, I met Cleo Coney Jr. today! Don't know who he is? Only the sweetest, old St. Pete local skater ever. Matt probably knows who I am talking about.

Hells yes.

Corey and I did a ride over to his place (the warehouse). Cool place...we got soaked riding back to Northeast cycle, but all in good fun.

I love riding in rain. Major skid galore.

Hope you guys came up with some death-scary routes :).
