Some 'nice and nasty' bikes depicted here ;-)

Yesterday was pretty funny as I visited a LBS. Was gifted a longer seat post (Wald 920 -steel in 18" length!). Pity, they think I'm nutz riding such a rat. Anyways, I've now upped my riding efficiency and finally have some leg extension. I really do LIKE riding it.

To a thief, I suppose it might deter them with the goofy looking extra long post, low bars, heavy weight and rusty. Haven't left unlocked in any populous campus areas yet but by the house I just leave it outside. I think most who would attempt to ride off with it likely would crash. Fixed gear, the pedal 'traps', and extra drop position.

I haven't yet given up on the most uncomfortable -Schwinn Approved- Messenger brand saddle. Its awful. Worse now that I've raised the height to accommodate my inseam, but man that saddle is a real azz-hatchet. Depending on what to do with the saddle situation, could see going for a 30 miler. Right now I've been doing my short 8 and 13 m. approx. loops. Its a brutal plastic covered solid metal frame with no cushion seat.

From todays ride, Super Bowl Sunday.
