Went on a quick ride this AM suited up in my old school Postal Service kit -- While attacking this rather large hill this old guy appeared out of no where behind me and started making all these cracks about doping. Before i could really retort he flew by me and then was gone. He looked like Sam Elliot -- I couldnt help but to think of the Big Lebowski. Strange times dude.

I couldn't get my rack mounts to work...couldn't get the bolt to go in the mount on my hour.
Of course, I wasn't that persistent.

I just realized that one of my favorite Sushi spots in the city was part of the explosion on East Side. Sushi Park.

Today I didn't fall while unclipping.
Yesterday I did because I didn't tighten my cleats enough, so they twisted and I couldn't unclip. Fortunately I realized this and leaned up next to the gate I pulled up to, but then looked at the bottom of my shoe to see. I slowly slid down to the ground in shame. Children in the park nearby laughed at me. Oh well.

Today I received the 50th anniversary edition of Berkshire Hathaway's annual report in the mail. My hat's off to anyone who can do what they love for as long as Warren and Charlie.

c-c makes more sense to me, because if the seat tube extend beyond the top tube it doesn't really make the frame any bigger. With today's sloping top-tubes, things get even murkier for me. I feel sometimes I need a "virtual seat-tube" measurement, that compares back to a horizontal top-tube.

I could be out of touch, I was taught to measure c-c and have always used it, but I do believe c-t is more commonplace in the US, so I'll give you that.

I recently switched to 155mm cranks on my road bike, and I'll probably do the same on my FG. Feels really good with my 27" inseam. 
I even won a race (criterium) on them.

2:47 - **** thats good.
does loctite go bad? i cleaned and reassembled my RD last night and put loctite back on the jockey wheel bolts. this morning i go out to do some errands before it starts raining and within the first mile the lower bolt comes undone, dumps the jockey wheel and swallows the chain
spent 30 mins scouring the road for the dust cover and the inner ceramic bearing, couldnt find either. good thing i have a spare of the exact same derailleur
my package of brake pad holders and pads came in the mail, and for some reason i didnt order 2x of each so i only have enough for one brake.
now i have a meeting about some **** i wasnt even here for.
great ****ing day.

The one that kills me is at 2:13. The cyclocross dude riding a backwards downhill stoppy. I can do that forward because you have the brake to help modulate the balance, but backwards the brake becomes moot, so it's pure balance......plus backwards. HOW**********????

Ya, that's a cool video. I think that is one of Marty Ashton's Road Bike Party videos. The actual cross footage of the dude hopping up the stairs at 0:38 is pretty cool too.
