Yah, I just met him today at Urbane. He's like "what are you up to - want to roll around?"

I'm like "hell yah". That guy is cool.

Assuming the stomach flu of death doesn't keep in bed like this weekend I'll definately be there. Hopefully with a new rig. Actually for sure with a new rig but hopefully with a jamie roy.

Have you thought of a white saddle? I'm torn on if it will make it too much white, but I think with the black seat post it could look hot.

Is polo saturday or sunday? I thought it was Saturday, but I guess Sunday makes more sense for a race.

Just put it on this winter & yes got it on ebay cheap too probably because it was cut so short. Only problem is track nuts do not fit it’s made for quick release cest la vie. It rides nice, I love it.

Update on my trek (cracked head tube) if anyone cares!
I brought it in to the shop showed them they were kind of surprised but basically said they will get me a new frame ASAP no problem I asked if I could get the new 07 black one for replacement & they did. I liked the orange one but I like the black a bit more. So it took three weeks, no charge at all & no BS. I did 70k on it this morning. I’m happy.

Work in progress still. I plan on putting them on the mtb, but need to get some barcons, and a canti rear cable guide first. I hope to have it finished by the end of May.
