P.S. [Shiznaz] Are you running fixed, SS freewheel, or converted freehub body with spacers?

Two things: regarding Suntour, has anyone seen their crazy downhill "gearbox" setup? Looks pretty interesting. Also, the Surly Mr. Whirly cranks look like another really interesting design idea. I'm still trying to figure out what type of bb they'll use.
And yes, I was jerking off to the thought of Rob's legs while my cat watched. It's a family affair. |

And yes, I do want several of these. http://altbike.com/wp-content/upload...G_0424_500.jpg |

I went to the sweet pete's sale yesterday and bought a kona smoke for 350 which they are single-ating for me and switching the tires on. Our bikes should be extremely similar except mine is steel and a little more commuting oriented. It should be ready on wednesday so we should hit up some trails. 350 dollars for a new quality steel bike spec'ed to my liking is pretty crazy... didn't even have to get my hands dirty! edit: all I need to complete it is switch the triple to a single crank. Anyone have a spare mtb crank (single double or otherwise)? The one that came on the smoke has the rings riveted to the spider. |

Awesome, as long as it doesn't snow Wednesday night. Don't think I can blow off an exam to ride my bike in the snow. The prof might not be too sympathetic. Have to get the fixed wheel for the snow. Don't really want to go s/s with only a front brake.

Cheers Also think I might order a pound of I deal - prince of darkness if the shipping isn’t too crazy. I now have a grinder. |
If the Mr. Whirly ends up w/ this sort of finish I am so ****ing sold:
