On last night's ride I "got" that goofy chainstay. Totally keeps your heel from knocking being up there.
But no drop bars?

Farmer tan
The driver of an LBS van enthusiastically waved at and gave me a thumbs up on the ride today. Said LBS is the main Jamis dealer in town, so he probably thought that I was one of theirs. Now I feel like I should go buy something from them, because I don't think that I've spent a dime in their shop.

thanks all!
Riley is a hoot. Wasn't so sure about how I would feel about getting a pup so soon after Jake, but it was the right thing.
I think puppies use cute as a weapon... extra cute allows for more destruction with little consequence

I had a Cannondale hardtail for a short while with Ergon grips with integrated bar ends (Still have those in a box). I did probably 50/50 trail/pavement with it and it was fine. I could convert it to drop bar in the future. There are a couple of companies developing weird stems to fix the long reach/low stack issue. But really, don't I need a proper mountain bike anyway?

Casually Deliberate
OMG Who the hell calls around to see if there is going to be a meeting or not? My office-mate apparently. My thinking was "Why poke the bear?"

What do they want for those 2017 Propels? What is in the $2k range? 105 on aluminum frame?
Oh and it's 4 o' clock and I'm starving. Food talk?

I kind of prefer drop bars, but am not opposed to flat bars. If I ride it for a few months, it would be easy enough to swap out the flat bar controls for some rival 1 controls. That plus a high rise/short reach stem would put me in the "right" position for dirt drops.
That and I'm not sold on 27.5+ for long gravel rides. They sound great for blasting around trails, but 29x2.2 to 2.4 sounds more ideal and seems to be the "faster" option for most people doing ultra endurance events.

I had a blackened chicken sammich with pepper jack, jalapeños, honey mustard, and L/T/O the other day that I'm still thinking about.

There are still some 2016 in the warehouse. Have your Giant dealer take a look. Mine is a 2016 that was in the warehouse and Giant wanted to move.

Who knew just an egg and veggie wrap for lunch would leave me lurched the rest of the day. Never trust a lo-cal lunch.

So the work laptop is getting Office 2013 pushed to it. Slowly. In the meantime, of course, Office is unusable, which means no work can occur. Which would be great, except for whatever reason the XB1 is misbehaving. So, good times.

Week 3, I'm finally getting a cell phone and getting my land line setup. Been chaotic around here - not necessarily a bad thing though.. company looks healthy.
