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)

If you want a little added security, agree to list the bike on eBay and have him buy it from there. You'll have to pay a percentage of the sale value in fees but you'll be protected by eBay's seller guidelines.
That's the only thing I've been thinking about, because without ebay he could up and file a claim for any reason any I'd have no real recourse to fight it. Thanks mang.

That's not necessarily true. PayPal is actually very easy to deal with if someone files a false claim.

As long as you have proof that you shipped him the bike he paid for and insure the shipment, you'll have no trouble.

Heard a weird noise coming from my front wheel and appon investigation, a loose and bent spoke at eyelet and a second loose spoke and my wheels out of wack... Sigh, glad i have spares while i see if i can get it fixed without relacing it.

Now I'm stuck with a tb14 out back and weinman dp14 in the front :| atleast it's black.

I rooted my LG G2, and put the Gummy 4.4.2 ROM on it.
I got a bunch of money from relatives I haven't seen in about 11 years, so I got a cheapo tempered glass screen protector and comply foam earphone tips in Hong Kong. Also just bought some waterproof shoe covers and gloves, both Hi Vis, and bib tights without a chamois. Need to loose this weight I've gained after this summer.

today i drove.

its not the 4F with -18 windchill factor

its the sustained 30 mph winds and icy roads that convinced me
plus i need to make sure my stupid car actually runs, havent driven it in 3 months

from walking from my car outside of campus to my office id say it was a wise choice, probably wouldve gotten some mean frostbite on my fingies n toesies

2005/6 Campagnolo Record with 2001 Record cranks. I wanted the cranks to match the polished/carbon bits on the rest of the group.

This is why I want to try one. Brooks comfort on a rain bike.

Seems odd something so English isn't really up to typical English weather. (Yeah I know seat covers and proofhide). I am just no so keen to pay Brooks prices unless I get Brooks comfort.
