does anybody have a cross or bmx lever and a short cable laying around? or, for that matter, a shortish quill stem? my project is actually coming together, I'm trying to prep up anything I can. I am going to try out the radical idea of having 2 handlebar setups, and it would probably be easier to switch out the whole thing, bars and stem, instead of unwrapping bars.

on another note, yesterday was mixed. I got my wheels and other various parts, so I now have a complete bike in parts. I also sold my old car, that I had for 12 years. Kind of sad especially because it's barely financing my bike. Oh, well.

I swear this thing better be done by memorial day.

Good on ya Corey/Jeff...way to represent. Sorry I couldn't make it up there.

As for the race next month...set a time and place to discuss things and figure out what you still need help with and I'll be there. I'll offer as much help as I can.

Your friend will find plenty of bikes ready for conversion here. In fact, tell all your friends to go pick up a conversion project from BJ's. Tell him Todd sent you and he may give you a hug (or a punch in the throat).
