Hey, nice to put the name to the face (and bike). It so funny that we know everyone by what they ride. I often think that people I know could walk right by me, and I wouldn't notice without seeing their bike. Well now I know you. I know you very well, whahahahah!
Big fan of the bike by the way.
In other news:
I received $200 of the $350 owed to me by the guy that ran me over (he's paying the rest in a week or two). Cold hard cash baby! And everyone thought I was screwed. Over the last couple of days I took my two ****ed wheels, and trued them back to 75% perfection. Good enough until they pooch out. It took forever. It's bad for the ego, rebuilding screwed up wheels. The whole time I was thinking "Oh man, I've lost my edge. I don't know how to build/true wheels at all". I had to keep telling myself that the mechanic said they were beyond repair, so any resemblance to a functioning wheel was a miracle. I'm good for now, until I figure out what I want to do for wheels.
