jesus this thread is running away, I don't logon often enough to keep up anymore...
on the topic of Dukes; there is a cute girl that works in the service department in the back (cute in a punk sort of way). Anyways... whenever I go there I'm usually looking for her to deal with.. HA.
I seek out my own good service rather than wait for it... I only get an hour for lunch and it's a 20 minute walk from my work so I'm usually in a bit of a hurry, if there is something I need from dukes that I can't get from a closer shop.

Operator: 4:00 is a bit late for me for a Sunday Contact/ride. I've got my parents coming over for dinner and yours truly is cooking. I was thinking around 1:30. If not I'm sure I'll head out next weekend too. So much to see.

hmmm... so me and emma picked up her frame yesterday and I swapped over all the parts save a few minor problems. Those problems are that the recessed brake bolt is a tiny bit too wide for the recessed brake bolt hole in the fork. The brake bolt for the rear bridge fits fine and both bolts are the same size. Should I be looking for a smaller brake bolt, or should I file out the hole in the fork a smidge? The other problem is the seatpost is a little too narrow so I'll either have to shim it or get a bigger post. The last problem (not really a problem) is that I don't have a wrench to loosen the crank bolts on my campy cranks because they would be so much sweeter on the pinarello. pics are forthcoming.

Just got back from Fffffffffffriends for life. That **** is whack. People were pretty friendly, except that one guy who said you had to say on your left.
We gave him like FIVE METERS ON THE LEFT.
so I'll either have to shim it or get a bigger post.
