I will very soon be officially laid off (aka Friday), after receiving a stay of execution of one week due to a project that needed my presence (and time) on. I have a good idea of what I have in the bank, my monthly 'burn rate', and a few courses of employment action; to say nothing of various filings and other ducks-to-row aligning. Pretty much not on the list is buying bike stuff. In the pursuit of 'lightening the ship' should I need to move (less stuff to pack), and just to get money back I've spent, I will be posting more and more for sale.

However...after figuring out that my left knee and leg like a certain non-drive-side Q-factor value (73.5-74.0mm at least), and that my flagship Paramount (one of my "keepers") couldn't accommodate that after having to have its already long 122.5mm BB spaced on the drive-side to get a proper chain line, I ordered a 127mm spindle'd BB (a trusty and affordable Shimano BB-UN55). This was after a good amount of math and diagrams drawn. Sadly also, her rear polished MA2 rim is cracked at 4-5 eyelets. A similar MA2 rim cannot be sourced at present, so this opens up the possibility of purchasing new rims so that the wheelset can live for another 30 years. Spoke length check (at the nipple, from the rim bed) reveals some ERD flexibility, and I'd like to put polished TB14s on there. I've built up one set of wheels with them (dark anodized) and like them very much.

Other than that, I "window shop" online and dream for free, but in reality I don't need it, and considering that the Paramount and my Impulse as built are perfect in my eyes with regard to composition, ride, and handling, nothing else needs to be bought. Trim the fleet to this core (ok, keep the Prologue, too) and rest. And ride.
