Thanks everyone. Goodnight.

I do not buy imports. I'm a protectionist.

What are you protecting?

not much. it's all foreign brands people want. i'm like the little boy with the finger up a ****. wut...sea wall is sensored?

An open letter to coasting:

Dear coasting,

Get stuffed.

Love,
Velo Vol

Two of the MTBs I don't need have American flags on 'em. For some reason that makes it harder for me to consider parting with them.

Signed,
Patriot.

The Vol is quite feisty tonight.

hey velo vol

are you a professor in tennessee not originally from tennessee?

As requested by rjones though even a close up would fail to highlight the broken stuff and general disrepair. My newest acquisition is in the form of the Target biodegradable water bottle I got free. I give it a week before it succumbs to being crushed by a heavy object or other malady.

i think that was a low blow for the gator.

Oooh, I love the Ferrari red Bianchi.
Not so fond of the low spoke count wheels, but... bonus points for handlebar bag!

EDIT: sweet pegboard!

EDIT 2: You gonna put a chain on that or what?

EDIT 3: What's on the seattube? U-lock holder? That's gotta go!

EDIT 4: Is the RD cable housing loop routed behind the chainstay? That's freaky!

Nice pegboard.

I am not originally from Tennessee.

I couldn't be entrusted to teach 5th graders.

They are an emergency addition. I am very very close to putting my Centaur 10 speed gruppo on it and some vintage Campagnolo tubular wheels with a new hub. Till then low spoke count wheels with white spokes and red nipples are going to fill the bill.

Nice. My bike was the same way until recently - looked better than it was. Now, it doesn't even have that going for it. It's started to show some surface rust.

I've been multi-tasking tonight; working and posting to BF.

52/42 chainrings on the Bianchi?

1. Thank you, it was one of my Winter projects and someone in the house absconded cross country with most of the tools that were on there so it looks bare.
2. The chain is being degreased and was going nowhere near a shiny new cassette
3. Yes, it is my commuter so it necessarily gets left outside of grocery stores etc.
4. No, it is on the outside. I'm surprised you missed both brake housings being much too big since I dropped the bars 3" and have not felt like redoing it since I am basically stripping it to the frame soon.

Yes, 52/42 rings.

would it be funny if a bf post went into a serious work document? i once typed part of an email into the middle of a contract. i decided to stop multi-taking after that.

Can't really see the housings well. I try to keep my rear housing long and pulled back enough so that it's rubbing on the seatpost, but it never stays there and wears away the paint in the seatcluster area.

I shop a lot on my road bike too but I stash the lock in my backpack or just sling it over the bars. I got a thing about too much crap clamped to my frame.

You are a man among men if that's a 25 or fewer tooth big cog.

That's funny. I was updating spreadsheets - tedious task.
