I thought we were long past this stage.

Finance girl?

Custom painted Diamondback race bikes up for auction. Some of them are nice.. except for the damn brand lettering.

My lip remains buttoned.

It's not for me, it's for a child in need. AKA [MENTION=406877]PepeM[/MENTION]. He loves this sort of thing.

I wasn't sure. I have now been informed of the true state of affairs. On the flip side, I informed her that I need to log more mile starting Sunday (1" to 2" of rain expected Saturday), so she'll have to make her own way home in the morning.

I saw those Diamondbacks. The one you posted is nice, but I think my favorite is this one:

None of them comes even close to the Red Hook Allez though.

One of my favorite love songs. R.I.P. ********** and Dave Schulthise (a/k/a/ Dave Blood), of course.


Wow! The censor dinged the name of the former Philly punk store that's mentioned in the first line of the song. Admittedly, it's a derogatory term for an Asian person, but that was not how it was used in that context.

I don't get it either. The censor works in mysterious ways.

BTW I quoted/linked Bit chin' Camaro a week or two ago, which is another classic Dead Milkmen song.

@seedsbelize this may be more your speed. The shop I ride for had a charity auction with some hand-painted frames a year or two ago, here are a couple of them-

Maybe buy her one for a second date present.

Nope. The first one is aluminum, I can't tell about the second one.
My Paramount is repainted dark brown, my second favorite color for a bike. No decals.

That means she paid, right?

Also, I get wing man points, right?

She had a millionaire boyfriend for a while so I'm sure there's some trickle down there that I haven't scraped the surface of. I showed my cards very quickly and told her i am 'not' a millionaire :p.

Sometimes I think I'm doing okay, then I find out quickly that I'm stupid AND poor. lol.

"Poor" or not is measured in bikes and miles and hours.

You're doing fine.

I've never seen brokeback mountain, so just a warning, if your about to drop some reference to that I won't get it...

I know a guy with a cutthroat getting into bikepacking, but he's insanely fast.

Sitting in meeting now where we can't talk. This isn't our meeting, ours is next.

It just slipped that primary commanding for this satellite mission is by email... um, yikes. "Hey dude, go tell this satellite to do X at time Y".

I hope you realize that calling someone "coy" is one of the most serious criticisms you can dish out on the internet. For some reason folks just hate it. Ask me how I know.
