yay. Got some tickets for Jason Mraz @ koolhaus. I figured it'd be a nice and safe venue to surprise my younger sis' with.

My future? Children absolutely do not factor in to my future! You nutcases can have as many as you like, but I'll sit this one out. :)

Also: clearly the whole 'fender bosses' thing on the Roger was an afterthought fabricated entirely within the Bianchi marketing department.

edit: Sure the actual bosses are in back by the dropouts and at the bottom of the fork legs, but that's apparently where it ends! There isn't any mounting point on the seattube/chainstay-bridge, nor a brake hole on the fork. And I also don't see how the fender stays are supposed to clear a disc brake caliper. Oh wells! I'm still happy with the thing, even with its slightly diminished capability as an uber-commuter.

I_bRAD 03-12-08 08:14 PM

what do you mean about the bosses? No good?

edit: Ah. that sucks.

Smart frame design 4tw!

So after work today I unlocked my POS mountain bike from the fence, where it had been in the same spot for a year and a half! I didn't even need liquid wrench to get the lock off! I'm going to make it into my beater **** kicker bike. I'll probably single speed it eventually, although for now, I'm just going to pump up the tires, change the brake cables, lube the rusty chain and ride it around a bit. It has fender eyelets and mounts for cantis (which it has) or center pull brakes. Now all I need is a super long seatpost!! Any of you singlespeed/fixed mountain bike dudes have any suggestions? (Chris I know you'll be glad to hear I finally got around to this!)

Make sure you put a sticker on there "My Other Bike is a carbon P3 Cervelo" or whatever the uber fancy model is.

Next winter, you should commute on a Cervelo track frame, just like we discussed. This mountain bike of yours sounds like Brad's lil'hauler. Make sure you sport a rack with corresponding milk crate. Bonus points for rocking mustache bars.
