Bikes: I built the Bianchi track bike back up today.

I think that I'll eventually have to get the treads filled and re cut. For the moment, the teflon plumbers tape seems to be doing the trick. Went out for a short 10 mile ride with a bar in the middle - the 5 shots I had meant that I was riding faster and crunching the BB more on the way home, but it doesn't look like anything has moved yet. I'm carrying a few more pounds of tools now, so that I can get rideable if it does come apart again.

I doubt I would warrant a post on OneOnOne's site. I have already been scolded a few times, though. 'Hmm, someone tried to true this wheel - these nipples are all way too tight...' 'Yeah, sorry about that, I was drunk and you're not open on Sundays. I was just trying to get something rideable, and didn't have a stand or know what I was doing. You can still fix it, right?'

15 min and about $12 later, I was back on the road. That shop rocks.
