Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Just got back from a group ride with my bay area cycling buddies. Good times; did a lot of catching up, a good bunch of them had new steads too! Had to borrow a loaner bike through from the LBS, on the house.

I always have a tube in my bag as well. The one time I actually needed a tube, I didn't have my ****ing bag.

I used to play Magic a lot. Went to some tournaments here and there. I lost like half of my cards, but if I had them all.. I'd have like, 4 huge boxes of them, not including lands lol.


Today I had a pretty good day. Almost finished reading Art of Wheelbuilding and am very excited to start my build.

Thats a possibility. But for now, I'm emailing BD, and hoping like hell that they'll send me a replacement arm/set, or my LBS has replacement arms for like $15-20

Today I set out to do the Paradise Loop.

Instead, I did a metric century and climbed a mountain to 2,000 ft.

Tomorrow I will be a slob.

Man that Rueben looks sweet!!! You gotta let us know how it rides. That frame is so sick and the disc brakes are cool. The Exile from Traitor also looks really nice.

A lot of people I know (including me) headed out to Sausalito/Tiburon area today. I think part of it is due to the fact that the bike lane is open on the Golden Gate now.

I'm in the east bay so I don't tend to cross the bay much during rides especially with how spaced out the time table is on saturdays bah, HORRIBLE! We went from Hayward to Mt. Hamilton & back.

You just answered your own question buddy.
It helps to use an ice breaker in the form of a time appropriate question or comment through. For example, in a conversation with more than one person, "I'm sorry but I overheard you were talking about __________, well I _________."

Roamed around Tokyo (Asakusa, Ginza, Ueno, and Shibuya) with just my camera. It was hot, but saw some cool stuff and ate good food. I wish I had my bike with me over here :/

Happy birthday Calv! Better hurry 'cause we're running out! (Who the hell is buying them? Isn't everyone in the world on BikeForums? )

I've done this. It left my mouth feeling all scaly and furry.
