Hmm that whole pin thing is kind of news to me. Normally I just push it through the chain tool adjust & push it back in, wiggle & twist to get the stiffness out. Guess I’ve been a bit lucky with it not breaking on me.
A black crank would look wicked on there, but looks great none the less what works. Works.

Cavit8: nice wheels
Somnambulant: hope you don’t have to replace those light weight RPM beauties. Ha Ha

Oh, and I'm feeling happy if a little poorer.

@cavit8: h0tt wheels!

Man what a beautiful night. I'm gettin' pretty stoked with this hoody/tshirt only business. Work has been so nuts it's been nice to get a sunny warm ride home. Had to run some foodie errands in the market as well so got to fart around a lil' and take my time getting home.

I've just transfered some pics from last night to my machine. I'll post a link later - if my sorry old ass doesn't fall asleep early again.

hah.. indeed. My heart bleeds.. :P Then again, this bike has turned into The Beater, so it's not like I plan on replacing the crankset with anything nicer. Oh well, Lemond to work tomorrow.

best post evar. foghat reference, incoherent rambling and video game addiction. what more could we ask for?

Awesome! I saw that a couple years ago and it was Good Times. I'd definitely be into going again.

No, I'll need it to anchor the tinfoil for my home-made aero wheel! After I venture to the 'shwa to pick them up.

Pinarello needed a new set of shoes

Not much, some booze references would have been good. I'll work on a followup; now that God of War II has been released, my summer is pretty much shot.

cavit8 03-22-07 08:33 PM

I have version 1 if you want to try it out. Not a good kids game, though.

Haven't played myself.

I've been hibernating these days getting my butt kicked playing Call of Duty 2.

I think we should start a BF Clan and combat these punk-ass kids...

I'll try to drop it off at Cavern tomorrow. And, seriously, it's a pretty gory game, so you'll definitely want to screen it before giving your kid nightmares after you jam a Sword of Chaos down a Minotaur's throat and give him a tonsilectomy.

Quake3 FTW. I still play CTF on public servers and lay out an ass-whooping, fun fun fun.

Shiznaz 03-22-07 09:57 PM

I'm getting pretty good at flying the jets and helicopters in battlefield 2 but some of the people online are totally ridiculous.

operator 03-23-07 03:22 AM
