Why no jousting? That could give us a permanent solution to the prob. 
I'd like to suggest some moto-style events:barrel roll,board riding,slalom.

maybe something like "a respectable society of miscreants, scofflaws, and bootleggers "?
or, someone could put some options on a poll on the yahoo group list.
ps - does the mixte have a new sister yet? if not, she can have an exchange student stay with her probably starting this weekend.

Wow, this is amazing, everyone is getting new machines!
Ha!, I just flipped my hub...so to speak and was out practicing last night too! So lets all get fixed next time! btw: the skewer got replaced by a real axial and track nutz for safety's sake.
Re: C dead people, for some reason, I slept late and had the wierd idea that it started at 6, so missed the race...I was so bummed out. Sorry Chimbly for not showing
re: shirt slogan, the "riding problem" theme is kinda amuzing. so maybe as LBK suggested with "with a riding problem" at the end ???

ghetto rigging?
Some of the coolest fixes I've seen are converted classy roadies.
However, a proper rear hub is nothing to argue about

I like option c with option a below it.
is this a fraktur or a script face? (geeks out)
My only prob is that both are hard to read, and it kinda reads like we have a "hiking" problem. crunchy backpacking pirates...boooooo.
