I can't just do ten...OMG tooooo much music and I haven't even gotten to classical composers, rap or my island mus-ic.

Yeah...that Johnny Cash record is fantastic. You can kind if feel in his singing he was going to pass away shortly there after. His version of "Hurt" is particularly good.

TRaffic Jammer 05-18-06 10:25 AM

Yea you totally knew he was passing the torch as it were, you can feel it in his voice. One of the most powerful albums I've ever listened to ever. Even to the track listing. It is his swan song but it's like he literally died on the recording, he put everything into it as he KNEW it was his last. RIP

I've ordered from them a few times. Good prices. I had them ship USPS and the cost was always reasonable (a frame may be worse though).

hey op, about ordering online. even if shipping is cheap, you should figure in any possible duties/taxes and tack that on. also weigh that against going to a local shop and getting it right away so you can ride right away. i mean, you can't really put a dollar value on being able to slap it on and ride! i understand your point about being far from stores and being able to check out stuff online though.. BUT, you're downtown quite a lot, so why not pick up stuff when it's convenient?

Yeah, I don't really have any interest in building up that specific frame above, just purely a get it because it's cheap type thing :D You know in case I break my frame mid ride and need to swap it out.

The big problem i've found mainly is that none of the shops really carry exactly what I want (read: obscure) and when they do it's a special order (might as well order it myself) and not necessarily cheaper than I can order it even after tax/handling/duty (if any).

I hate calling around every shop and asking if they carry this that blah blah and 90% of the time they come back and go sorry don't have. :(

For example no one has these: http://www.profile-design.com/2006_p.../quickstop.jpg

Sweet, nice feedback on the music list. I'll definitely check some of those albums out tonight (and add my own list once I get home from work).

Hey Cavernmech, my friend wants a cheap rear track wheel, do you have anything in the shop?

He says it's fine if it's second-hand and whatnot, as long as it's in good working order.

Thanks.

Just don't tell the G.F. She might as well be Lars Ulrich when it comes to this kind of thing. Shhhhhhhhhhh.
Edit. I KNOW you have a ton of stuff I love too. Perhaps a swap is in order.

Doesn't look like that great a deal to me, used too. And what's all those stickers he has on the bike.
