finally got the parts in today. I spent the bulk of the evening putting it all together (neglecting a stack of papers that need to be graded). After getting everything as good as it is gonna get, i decided to throw down for a real fixed wheel. This suicide wheel bit is gonna have me real nervous tomorrow. $49 (or so) from nycbikes for a fixed/free with a 36 hole rim. bomber so i don't have to worry
i'm stoked
