yup. i usually wear a men's small or a kid's large.

ok, Chicago kids... the list is close to there. the*new*guy is out. sol is in.

you should be receiving emails about meetup, departure, packing, and random crap like that. if not, please let me know.

Is there a run for Tues? There was talk about it at CM,but nothing on the calendar. Me and Poopn were recruiting after CM,so there may be a couple of prospects showing up.

yes, there's a ride on tuesday.
it is on the calendar.

speaking of which...
as this is suposed to be a "warm-up ride" and less of a pillage
lets do some major miles on tuesday

at least 20
anyone down for some tri-state action?

BLAST! my pedal system master plan has deteriorated into incompatability! chimbly--I called the shop and they pretty much said ix-nay on using quattros with mtb shoes. Soooo, anyone have eggbeaters layin around they wanna sell me or swap for some lovely lightly used (not by me) black quattros?

you could sell on craigslist... and buy in the shop or on craigslist...

yes, i'm aware, thanks. thought i'd share and try fishing in the pirate pool first.

I'm really, really sorry those didn't work out. That really sucks. Really really sucks.

On another note...
my heart skipped a beat this morning when I did my regular check of the jonny cycles website. Jon's almost done with the bike he's working on now, and there's only two more frames in front of me!! He and I are doing the final decisions chat in person in chicago. I'm so nervous that I'll order the wrong thing, but I'm so excited to finally get my bike. After a craptastic day, this was the news I needed.
Here's your last chance for input. So far, it's solid blue with stainless lugs. There will be stars cut out of the lugs, showing the blue paint through them. Fix, of course, drilled for two brakes. Stainless fork crown. Integrated seat binder bolt. Stars cut into the dropouts. No brazeons. S&S Couplers. Nearly square frame, somewhat like the steamroller, only shorter TT and taller ST. Oh, and I'm going to get "this machine kills fascists" painted on the chainstay.

I've been waiting since May.

how exciting!
all that and woody guthrie props, nice! it sounds beautiful

sounds nice, even if a little violent.

Funny, I have about 5 sets....

and I'm only taking one bike to chicago,

email me at work tomorrow

i already bit.

so... Justin... any insights into tonight's ride, aside from the 7pm meetup?

Heh, no, not really. I'm trying to get with Tink about a route.

Did someone say photos?

It was a good time though it sucked about the rain. Props go to Tink for showing me the Memorial Bridge, Arlington, and Columbia Pike for the first time. Also, thanks go to MDRawk for pointing me in the right direction back to MD when I got "a little turned around."

I hope all of the Chicago-bound have a great time this weekend.

Sorry I had to leave the party so early last night.
Duty called.

but TEAM MUMMMRAAAAAAAA is still in effect.
hell mother fuggin yeah!!

Hey DC crew! This here is your formal invitation to pizza and beer Friday for lunch. There's a pizza place near my work that has (for $5) a personal pizza/ draft beer (Leinenkugel's is the best of what they offer with the special). You only get one beer with your pizza (the rest are pretty expensive) BUT!!! YOU CAN ORDER MORE THAN ONE PIZZA!!!!

pizza?!!!
and beer?!!!
EFF yes.

i for one plan on being well into the moderately drunk range by this point so i welcome both. but i dont know what time we're going to make it into town though, might not be soon enough to join you.

15 hours through the night...
we're a bunch of idiots.

just call me when you get in, we'll work around your schedule.

so far it's me and 0.00
