Also, I've been meaning to ask about that pretty awesome guy you were hangin' with that had the ultimate "fixie pop culture told me these things were cool" bike. He made comments like "straps are completely pointless unless they're doubles" and "there's no way you're gonna like this gearing(I think it was 42x15)," And "Don't you know enough people to just get a group buy?." I didn't have the opportunity to speak to the Dali Jackass, but his words touched us all. Anyways, I'm sure he had a lot more wisdom to impart and I'd like to learn more. He also didn't take part in group rides because..."hahahhahaha." That was his 'Einstein' moment for me. I wonder what part of being awesome on his super sweet bike made him so damn fat; must have been big-boned.
