Women aren't into that. Never have been.
Really. Then I wish someone could explain all these Park tools all over my living room (and dining room and basement). I suppose I should stop my current build and go make some dinner or something instead.
I bike commute all year, including winter. I built up a bike specifically for that purpose (drop bar mountain bike conversion), and hand built the wheels (dyno hub with drum brakes front and back). I'm glad there wasn't a guy around telling me I couldn't do that because I just wasn't meant for it.
