Flaxx has a green Dr Dew posted here...p5 #110. If there is another BMC in this tread I flat out missed it.

My memory plays tricks on me sometimes.

Shook man - You better get pedaling dude. I have 360 miles on mine and I got it after yours.

l0l - when i dont have a lot of time and need to workout, i hit the treadmill and weights in my building.. this past summer i had extra time but as the semester started and my workload at work got heavier, i have had less and less time to take my precious out for a ride =( when i go out for rides, i dont do half hour rides. my minimums are at least an hour per ride if not more. i think i've gone on 2 half hour rides this year, the rest were much longer.

I say put that 2005 bottle of 151 in your 2006 fridge for a night. Then use your 2007 washer to wash a pair of cycling short. Then use your 2008 Curve to text your friend/gf/wife to let him/her know you plan on taking 5 shots of that 151 before taking your 2010 7.7FX for a spin.

hahahahha! toooo funny! i actually had a dream last night - and i am not kidding - that i didnt ride the bike in so long that the tires went flat. then i proceeded to take it to the bike shop and bought white tires for it

speaking of which... does anyone know where i can get some good brand/high quality white tires in 25mm size? im not familar with what tire brands are good... i found these soma tires that come in white -

Ha, I shared in that dream. Finally got the finger I hurt on the TimesOut ride x-rayed. Learned a new term, avulsion. A tiny pierce of bone where the top ligament attaches broke, meaning I could not straighten it. It got splinted, have to wear that into next year I think. Dominant hand, so it's a pain both doing things AND I have to keep it dry. Right hand and I have twist shifters so it simply way too chancy to risk riding (was told if the finger would bend, I'd probably be screwed as it would rip out any new scar tissue).

Looks like I wont get to experience cold weather riding until Feb or so. Bummed.

I have a Flip UltraHD and played around with a bunch of things, but decided that the best option was a ContourHD helmet mounted. That way, I can capture a lot more than just the road ahead.

KShep

Ouch! I hope you heal up sooner than expected. Scar tissue sux anywhere but I expect moreso on the digits. bleck

aww man - so sorry to hear that if it gives you any solace, you can always hit a training bike in a gym to keep your body in motion while you recover. be really careful! double-splint it so you are 101.9% certain you dont bend it by accident sleeping or something =/

My old bike's "hybrid" lighting system:


Generator mounted inline with the front wheel.

Plastic bottle rear light, later painted the bulb red.

Rear rack made from scrap parts, from a rolling backpack, similar to suitcases.

KShep

Awesome! That rack looks like it was original equipment on the bike.

I used to have one of those friction generator lights when I delivered newspapers.

Psy Guy

TY, I told people the little wheels were for popping wheelies, like the bars on the backs of drag racers.

mslanh01

Here is mine, Already posted it in the Commuter forum, but since it's a hybrid, here ya go!

Fast Cloud

^^^ Nice one!!! Luvin' the black fenders. Looks like I've got the same light if that's a Mars 3.0. I don't have to ask how you like that thing, cuz they rock!

mslanh01

Yup, thats the 3.0. got it along with the quadrant headlight for $10 on clearance at my local Dick's!

Fast Cloud

DAYYYUM!!! That's a most excellent price...I payed around twice that just for the tail light.

Here are some pics of my latest hybrid. $200 Craigslist find. Slapped some cheap lights on it, everything else is as it came.

There is something to be said about a bike that comes pre-scratched up. I'm still trying to keep my Felt looking new, but I'll take this thing anywhere and lean it on whatever.

mslanh01

can't beat a 7.3 for 200! I paid 600 for mine new!

Psy Guy

Nice trailer qmsdc15. I like the looks of the one wheelers but wonder how they handle and load carrying capacities. Build that yourself? Yea, I could use a kitty litter hauler too

Fast Cloud

Yeah, that is a great looking trailer...and bike. I use a kiddie trailer with the seats cut out for the the litter run. Tidy cats multiple cat formula rules!! Great clumping and it really keeps the funk to a minimum. Good choice!

qmsdc15

No, I didn't build it, it's a B.O.B. It corners great because it leans with the bike and the vertical pivot is closer to the end of the trailer compared to other designs. It's only rated to 75 pounds and trying to control a load substantially above that limit can be very scary. The handling becomes dangerously difficult. It's a fine trailer though if used within it's design's parameters. I can't give you exact figures but 100 lbs unless top heavy should be no problem. There is a warning not to carry loads over twenty inches tall.
