I think I've posted here all of three times but...

Thanks for the search function so I can keep you yahoos for crackin' on me
Thanks for the 2 inches of snow thursday night so I could finally get the feel for really long skids
Thanks for all the drunk people downtown who cheered for me when I almost took a digger on said snow
Thanks for old school stronglight cranks with funky sizing so that I can ride five mile to the only LBS that has the right puller everytime I want to swap chainrings
Thanks for that LBS letting me use their tools
Thanks for conversions so that I don't have to ride a Langster (or a windsor) like (almost) every other fixed rider on my campus
Thanks Dad for buying a steel bike and keeping it good shape so I could inherit it 25 years later as my first road bike and 5 years after that make it my first fixed gear
