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)

Stopped at the store to pick up something to cook for dinner, beautiful young lady writing on a sign, and wrote out "peatches"....... She suddenly did not appear as attractive as her coworker explained it to her....

Finished this build with my Madison frame for a guy. If he doesn't show up to buy it, I think I'll be okay keeping it for a while.

Today my dog ate a bunch of trail mix, is jammed up at the animal hospital overnight, and left me with what will probably be an $700 vet bill.

Also ran in 6 races at the track tonight. Legs are dead.

Used an FSA MegaEvo bottom bracket to install a Force 22 BB30 crankset on the Space Horse.

Took my bike in for a quick freewheel swap. Did not come back with it. Plus found out the frame damage is possibly from theft/attempted theft. Ugh. I just want to ride.

Crashed while riding dirt for the first time in like 18 years. Construction sites are awesome for CX type riding.

Thanks! It felt so good knowing my bike was dialed in as I was able to ride ~70 miles for 7 days straight with no aches and/or pains.
