The only thing about that north face jacket that is absolutely tits is the fact it has the monkey loops for fingers, it makes the biggest difference under gloves.

As an aside, I picked up a pair of sidi bullets. If you buy Sidi shoes, *don't* use the stock mounting bolts which use a very small diameter hex. I stripped on with almost no force at all and am now trying to figure out how to get it out
Aggh!!! John, that suxors!

At the very least it'll be annoying to have to wait for replacement frame to come in. That sucks though sweep.

Shut the **** up. Anyway, I quit smoking. It's been close to a month now so I'm pretty confident I'm not going to freak out and start again now. Woot. The only change I've noticed other than being even more angry all the time is my mouth feels a lot less ganky in the morning. Hopefully my lungs will show me some sort of improvement but the time roadie scum season swings into full gear.

99% of the bikes we get in are junkers. Working on fully functional bikes is a +.

And I finally got the Sidi screw out by hacksawing a notch in it and using a flathead screwdriver... what a pain.
