damn you! There goes my productivity!

Back to work, nothing to see here.

~Stuart~

For how much i hate having a mother who is a lawyer... one thing i love is my ability to think logically during arguments....

long story short i out thunk 3 italians, and i'm home tomorrow and hopefully buying a 29er SS the day after (anybody know if dukes has any 21" misfits in stock? or somewhere else has a 29er SS. I looked at the kona but i dont like the fact its cromo)

TRaffic Jammer

So you're coming home early? Out thunk as to getting paid before the fall, or not getting soaked for the "extras"?

shapelike

Stock, no but Cycle Therapy (along w/ some other shops) can order you in one.

somnambulant

'eff Dukes. Buy it from Cycle Therapy (or direct from Misfit, for that matter).

~Stuart~

i made no money, so i out thunk them to the point that they are paying for my flight home and no debt

but really... come on, i grew up with a parent who went to school to learn how to argue, like every time i get in trouble i have to defend myself to lawyer, i learned a trick or two... I can talk my way out of most situations...




awesome for answering the 29er question. i must put in an order for one oh man how long will it take, i want one nooooooow (i miss bikes sooooooo much. my "tight" pants that i bought before i left were hard to get over my thighs, now there baggy )

iherald

So do you have any headshots we can laugh at, I mean admire?

~Stuart~

hell yea!


They are on the Elite Milano website...



*memo to self; in the future eat before drink*

~Stuart~

im only telling you where to find them so next time i pass you you can say "i just got my ass whooped by a male model"


Im pretty sure there is more to life then being really really ridiculously good looking, and i plan to find out what it is.

Flimflam

Nice job on getting back over for summer time though, get that order in at CT/Misfit/wherever before you come back!

vainglorious

No, Stuart.. no there isn't. There is nothing more to life than being really really ridiculously good looking.

Except maybe a day at Sea World...

Jabba Degrassi

Owwww...

Riding around all day on an empty stomach and then stopping for an omelette wrap and a smoothie right before realizing I had to race home to make it to work on time was a bad idea. Urrrrrrrrrgh...

~Stuart~

awesome, im all packed (much easier to pack when you have half the items you started out with!). now time to decide to stay up all night and peace out in the morning, or to go to bed and hope i wake up on time (im kinda drunk right now, and lacking an alarm clock... im thinking stay up all night, i got as redbull and some beeers (which are cheap here)).


oh man and now i can drink in bars!!!!!! im going for a brewski tomorrow night in a bar... just for ****s and giggles , anyone care to join?




*really hopes the zoolander quotes are picked up and it doesnt just sound like im being an asshat*

Jeez, this dude couldn't look any more dated:



And I love the really ****ed up looking guys:

Anyone knows where i can get a relatively cheap 80mm or 90mm stem, black preferably? Or if somebody has one lying around i can trade you a 120mm stem or a 15t cog.

jeremywhitehorn

do you want a threaded or threadless? 1" or 1 1/8"?

cavit8

I can't believe you browsed and are now critiquing Elite's male models....

It is a bit of a contrast though, 90210 to Marilyn Manson sans makeup.

~Stuart~

second guy was my roommate for the first 4 weeks


****** bag, wanted me to back him up in a fight against 2 italians with broken bottles, after much though i declined.

shapelike

Well, there are definitely some different looks:

- girlie alien
- gay beefcake
- hot dad
- African stud

etc. etc. ...

aMull

Forgot about that info, it's 1 1/8 threadless. And one other thing, i was tightening up my chain a little this evening, and it seems that there is half an inch less slack on the tight spot that the rest of the chain. Is half an inch too much difference between the tight/no tight parts or is this about normal?

jeremywhitehorn

i can't help you out with 1 1/8 stuff, sorry. got lots of 1" though...

i wouldn't worry too much about the difference in chain tension; if you want to even it out a bit, try loosening all your chainring bolts and then re-tightening one bolt at a time going clockwise tightening every other bolt bit by bit until you get an even tension on all of them.

but a little bit of disparity in chain tension is no biggie...

aMull

^ Good to hear thanks, i'm not that good with tinkering with the bike anyway. So i looked at ebay for a stem since i have some money in paypal, how does this look to you? Total would be $26. Is it alright for the money?

Jabba Degrassi

What have you got in 1" threaded stems? I got a super-tall technomic stem that needs replacing big-time. Anything in the 100mm range should be okay...
