Frame looks like it has nice geomtry, Parts look crappy or chincy at best.

Hey if you saw the boil sitting on my cheekbone (aka "ingrown hair follicle" or maybe "irritated botfly larva") you'd be grouchy too!

MKRG: my deepest sympathies;

i get ingrown facial hair on a semi-regular basis, and often will perform minor-surgery
(implementing a needle and forceps) to free the hair.

can you post an illustrated "how to" guide to end this maddening affliction please?

It's not rocket science - pop the boil with the needle, drain it, then use small tweezers to dig in the hole to grab the hair and pull it out. My dad used to do it all the time (he got them on his arms).

Your dad shaved his arms?

No they were just really hairy. He used to say his hair wasn't too smart and didn't know which way to grow...

OK. I thought maybe your dad was a bodybuilder type.

More of the mountain man type. I've seen him without a beard maybe 3 times...

My buddy just won this auction for the mercier complete track bike. I will let you guys know how the bike looks and rides after he gets his hands on it.

This looks like a KHS (compare geometry) frame (probably from same factory) with lower end components. Go for it (price is too sweet).

I've emailed the lady who runs the auctions, it is a khs complete. If you check out khs's website for the 05 flite 100. It no longer comes with a sugino 75 cranks. it now has truvativ. so the components are the same i guess. good price.
