The girl isn't able to fit it to her satisfaction. After new stems, posts, saddles and a fitting at the bike shop, she wants to try another bike. Know anyone who wants it?

Yay Richmond! Yay track racing! I hope all y'alls have a greatster weekend. I'm helping my bro move tomorrow, but a breakfast ride on Sunday would be sweeeeeeeet. Will anybody be around for that? Sort of laid-back, medium speed but longer distance cruise, with food/maybe bloody marys?
Oh, and I'm not sure about T-town. It could be a good way to try to sell the bike. I'm not sure about paying a vendor fee for one bike, but I'll see what Kirsten wants to do.

I was at the track yesterday, just missed you guys. I rode it on my road bike and it was redonk. (172.5mm cranks, low BB) I could rest my bike on a pedal in the bank and have it standing almost straight up.

Dane, Tony said he knows somebody who wants my "spare" frame. You could check with him to see if that's still true. 53cm green 1" threaded. Snoogins.

Haha... no prob man.. I just felt like **** regarding the rim business. The rims hadnt shown up today when I first left the shop at about 3:00 so i called the cutomer service dude and was a total dick to him saying he keeps promising delivery dates and nothing is showing up. I tried to convince him to ship them to their west chester warehouse and id go pick them up myself. He said hed call me back after he talked to UPS. I told him that wasnt good enough and that they just needed to be at our shop tomorrow morning or I was filing a complaint. When I went back to the shop at about 5:00 they were there. Either they were in transit when I talked to him or (more likely) he had M.O.G Ron Ron hand deliver them from Miami via Bicycle.
