I've got to agree with you about that one, no excuse whatsoever. And it was a damn good saddle maker, Selle San Marco, the Concor Confort. The good news is that has been just about my only failure in all the bike lightening I have done. Everything else has worked out great.

Hey Mr. @rjones28, at today's group ride someone recognized me from the P2P last year, and he remembered you as well. It was the guy on the Wilier Cento that we picked up after the Caz rest stop and he was part of our little pack until the Chittenango Falls stop. He said to say hello, and damned if I would have recognized him. So hello.

I've been using the NPR One app quite a bit lately. It's a mix of regional and national/international content. It allows you to mark the currently playing show/segment as "Interesting," so I assume that it affects programming that's streamed to your particular device, but I couldn't tell you to what extent. Oh, you can also skip the segment if you don't want to listen to it. In any event, the NPR One app has, for the most part, replaced my live radio listening. If it's available for your device, you should check it out.

I'm trying to talk the little lady into doing the 34 mile instead of the 18 mile Ride Around Clark County.
Maybe even 66...

Second choice would have been Razor, but I think it was SA.

It was SA, and the fabricator was in Bosnia or Serbia, IIRC.

Yep, SA for sure, custom made one-piece saddle/seatpost.
If I hit the lottery I think I'd go for a one-piece saddle/seatpost/seattube.
Something like one of these frames with saddle molded onto the seatmast. Wonder if that Rob English would do a collab with that Euro dude?

Casually Deliberate
I'm confident we can do 18 or 34 especially because we don't have to do it at 26.8mph the whole way. 66 would be pushing it this year, I think, but it's kind of tempting because it would be a metric century. Then again, I'm cashiering the next day at 7am and that's going to be a lot of standing. Oh, I don't know.

Definitely a crucial person to follow on flickr. I always get more worked up about in-progress pics than the all done pics, though.
Frank The Welder / Barnstormer Bikes are also crucial flickr feeds to follow.
Oh, and j p weigle, of course.
Here's a nice one from weigle:

46/30 in front Sugino OX901D crank, 11-28 SRAM 1190 Red cassette, KMC chain. Will be a very useful spread of gears. Nice and tight with plenty of low gearing for the off road stuff.
Warbird really is a fun "All-Road" bike. I'm going to slap some 43mm dirt tires on as well.
What this means is I now need to buy a true road bike.... I'll give it a year and see what pans out in the world of thru axles & discs. First I need to pick up a fat bike for the Winter, I can't do a trainer for more than an hour.

Speaking of NPR, is anyone else's station still playing Car Talk reruns? I find that odd.
