People don't give me bike stuff because I asked them not to -- silly for them to pay retail on something I can get near cost as a shop employee.

To that end, I gifted myself a new bike. Pake Runrunner SS/FG coming to me in parts and pieces over the next week or two. Roller bike for the winter, fun bike for the Summer. I may have to move someplace flat or which has a velodrome...
