Drew does the have your pets line? I didn't know. I saw a bit of his first episode and he was had this nervous ticky thing about pulling on his jacket pockets. It got annoying.

Also very annoying: saying hello on facebook to someone you knew in high school and all of a sudden getting like 30 messages from them. I don't actually want to be your friend, I just want to see how you turned out.

Awesome dude. We gotta get our funk on sometime during the holidays. I'm telling you, 'How I Could Just Kill A Man' by Cyprus Hill. We gotta do it.

Dude .. designers are unsung heroes... you got the job done so revel in it. I merely did what i am genetically predisposed to. Good design is/should be invisible.... you know it's nice, but you're not sure why. Bad design, however can make even the best witting impossible to read.

Beer is Fluid. Fluids are good.
OK Keith's shop might be gone..... BUT the spirit of the Safety Meeting CANNOT be killed!!!!!
So put you heads together, ... it might not even really click until the new year, but the legacy of the CC Safety Meeting needs to continue.

I concur fully. We need a central watering hole to meet at after work on Fridays. Preferably someplace where we aren't gonna have to fight for a table every time.. dive-bar here we come! When the weather cooperates we can just go to a park someplace.

okay, let me re-phrase then.. FIRST dibs. I'm emailed the dude asking some questions. Unless they're exactly what I was planning on building I won't pull the trigger. I also have no idea if $325 is actually a good price, particularly if they're ridden. I don't know what those rims/hubs go for, retail.

Ha ha! What a clever ploy unless someone goes back to see they are in fact $235 and not $325!

We read that in primary school just to concur you're not talking (about) poo

Wind going west seems a bit ****, I might just stay in for tonight - I really wanted to go beat myself up on the spit or up the beaches (stress relief ) hmm...

Anyone out or about for riding this weekend?

finally back online! i have been laying low for a while since my work situation has gotten ****ty and i picked up a bunch of freelance gigs mostly out of town to compensate. i will have some frames for sale soon if anyone is interested. mostly 57 and 58cm they are old schwinn and benotto frames (all columbus) i found at garage sales (with the help of my mom a pro yard sale hunter) that over the past year have been laying dormant at biseagal and are in the process of being converted to track frames. all the braze ons have been removed and the rear shortened and dropouts replaced.

the frames are in real good shape aside from the paint that had to be removed for the conversions if you are interested drop me an email at philip(at)remembertohireme(dot)com

hope all is well i will look forward to seeing all of you at the next safety meeting.

To add to the Chromeo type I like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-kDX...eature=related

I liked the Chicago vid me & a neighbor have a crit that we try to do every other night. It beats the rollers but in this season rollers win & i love riding them.
