Ahh ffs, so did it get hit, did she crash, did it just magically **** off and die on her? Looks like I will need to track her down and get a ride report.

Who needs a home heating system when you can have two giant CRTs?

What mountain bike shoes should I buy? My main concern is that they must last forever, and have a really hard sole that won't get chewed up by my pedals like the last pair. I'm thinking dominators with their replacable treads but their fit doesn't seem conducive to walking. Should I pony up for the italian?

I find the Dominators awful for walking, personally, but the soles do seem fairly indestructible. Running up a hill offroad isn't too bad in them (since you're mostly on your toes then), but walking on flat ground is a recipe for a sprained ankle. They roll over really easy... and that's the Mega version!
Just make sure you get a Dominator 6 (or Dragon) and not a Dominator 5 if you want the replaceable sole.
I do totally love them though.. super comfortable, especially with different insoles.

At McMaster's we have a few older road frames, then there's Recycle Cycles in the city, they have a bunch more.

Figured out what hte problem was. When I took the bearings out of the cage I neglected to put more in, a lot more. I open the top race up and see the race is only half full!

Mr. Lif is great. His shows are always super fun, and that song is especially fun. I'd never seen that video but in one of those shots I was like "Hey is that whoopie goldberg?" I'm not nearly as big of a fan of El-P though.

'Cuz it ain't like I like the taste
It's more of a psychological thing
My heart pace'll never change
But your cabbage'll get rearranged"
How could you not love El-P with lyrics like that?
edit: wait.. Did I post that yesterday too? It's been a Def Jux week.

Not sure if this has been posted before, but the Spring '07 Cadence video is pretty schweet.
https://www.cadenceclothing.net/video.html
I just emailed Dustin to tell him to put it on youtube so it's bigger than a postage stamp.
