I'm actually having good weather, but 1) it's getting dark when I get home 2) too busy on weekends, especially building bikes at the bike shop and 3) I've been trying to get myself to commute more, but I think I'm starting to realize that I am NOT a morning person, period. It was easy in school when I had to be on campus at various times, but rarely before 9 a.m. Right now, I have to hit the door at 7 a.m. and even when I lay out all my stuff, I need about 30 minutes in the morning. Ugh. That and my very pregnant wife often needs help with the 3.5 year old in the mornings.

I guess I'm going to have to accept the fact that I'm just going to get fat(ter).

You have been doing a LOT of talkin' the past several months. At this rate, you are going to surpass my post count very soon and the 20K party won't be far off!

Correct. Two races, one fat lip. No trophies.

Speaking of post count fetishists, anyone hear from pcad?

He has been offline for longer than is typical for his hiatuses...or is it hiati??

Did you post the lip? I recall hearing about it but don't recall the visual.

I'd rather have a piece of shoo fly pie. :thumb:

I've decided on this compromise in order to occasionally share my A stuff with you guys. Might need some tweaking, but I don't see it as too obtrusive. Being digital, I'm sure there's some way a real skilled lowlife could remove the watermark, but the vast majority of lowlifes will move on to an easier mark.

Oooh! I love chess pies. Every single one.

No pics. Probably wasn't visible through all of the hair anyway.

Awesome.

Nice pic Billy. Throw us some more of the A stuff when you're feeling in the mood.

Extra credit for the Turbo saddle. Is that vintage or the reissue one??

Doing a 40 minute FTP test tomorrow. Bet my wife gets a higher number than I do.

Nice. I had a Nishiki sponsorship in 1987 (Comp III) and 1988 (Team). They were nice riding bikes but I broke both of them.

Oh yeah, Baby!

Very nice stuff. Watermarks are a necessary evil.

Since I've been reading up on cameras entirely too much, what is your setup?

Vintage.

Totally excellent pic

Good photo and I dig the watermark. There's a local girl that takes a lot of local bike photos and has a cool watermark that she sticks in the middle...actually saw someone on facebook yell at her for putting the watermark in a spot they couldn't easily remove to make the photo their profile pic. It was funny to see her comment basically telling the person to buy the photo and the watermark goes away.

Also, nice Nishiki!

Ooooh. I didn't know it was gonna be flouro!!!

Somehow I don't think that pump peg would work with my pump.

Nice

Thanks, guys!

Love that vintage Nishiki - HOT!
