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 see him, tell him he owes child support.

Tossed a 100mm stem on the leader and so much nicer, can't wait for track season to start again. Finally think I have my fit dialed in. Passed my roommate on the way into work cause he had a flat, saw him standing on the side of the road and I just yelled sucker and kept going. True friendship.

Today I bought a complete Soma Rush for $400. Spent the evening taking off decals, re-wrapping the bars only to realize I only had a few small pieces and put my SPD's from my road bike onto it. It has Sram cranks on it though, and as far as I've read they generally came with Sugino's. With that being said, was it only for one year that Soma sold the Rush as a complete bike?

Today I got to play with people's expensive bikes. Too bad they're clueless about which expensive parts they could not buy...

I'm 99.9% certain Soma never offered the Rush as a complete bike.

This morning I woke up in Bismarck, North Dakota... will be sleeping in my own bed tonight after a little 1350 km drive through some of the flattest countryside on earth.

Compared to Saskatchewan, ND is downright mountainous... those little prairie towns are 10-16 km apart and as soon as you leave one, you can see the next one on the horizon.

Today I learned an expensive lesson about carrying fragile items unsecured in a shallow front bicycle basket. I was returning home from a trip from the grocery store on my Windsor Clockwork townie with its Wald 4.75" deep front basket, when I hit a bump and a $5+ glass jar of bean dip was jetisoned onto the pavement with predictable results.
