No problem, whenever is good for you. I'll be in and out all day, but will leave everything on the porch for you. Easy to find, has the big old '54 pickup rotting out front. It's not mine.

like TJ says, wait for it. What's that saying? the habits you have in your 20s catch up with you in your 40s.

EDIT: if you want to gain weight, get a job in a restaurant. not only will you be eating rich crap all the time, you won't have any time to excersise because of the long shifts. worked for me [loosens belt one notch]

thank jebus i don't have a scale or i'd be really paranoid.

keeping with the keith harring / cinelli bike theme, take a look at this:

http://www.fixedgeargallery.com/2006...nHalka_2-1.jpg

is it just me or is that a ridiculously long wheelbase?

operator 11-16-06 10:41 PM

The first thing that strikes me about that pictures is definitley not the wheelbase

Shiznaz 11-16-06 10:45 PM

It just looks that way because there is such a tiny wheel in front.

jet sanchEz 11-16-06 10:52 PM

It looks like a 24 in front not a 650, must be someone messing around for fun, that thing cannot be ridden.

his description on the FGG says it uses a 24" front.

The fork looks like its designed for the wheel...

exactly. that's why i was so amazed at the length of the wheelbase. look at the amount of clearand between the wheel and the seat tube also.

Shiznaz 11-17-06 08:57 AM

Well the rear wheel is all the way back in the dropouts. I think if you pushed it forwards the tire would rub the seat tube. Also if you adjusted the frame so that it had a 700c wheel and that 700c wheel was located in the same relative position horizontally, you would have mad toe overlap and very tight wheelbase.

TRaffic Jammer 11-17-06 10:43 AM
