I just now realized that the label on "Chain-L" No. 5 is a play on the perfume, Channel No. 5.
I have had a bottle since last season (of Chain-L, not Channel), and I have even posted about the lube.
I've also seen posts saying that Chain-L does not smell like perfume or Channel No. 5.
It took me until today to figure it out.

I spent 5 Benjamins on a new set of wheels ONLY because they look cooler.
The rest of the bike is not worth much more than the wheels.
I sold the wife by telling her I was tired of replacing spokes on the old set.
I've only replaced one spoke on the old set in 1500 miles.

And that's quite a confession too........

-after breaking up with the gf I no longer have an excuse not to be riding more than I am...sometimes its just hard to get out there
-my helmet looks like a giant dome on my head, it pisses me off so much
-I wish I was like 3 inches shorter just so my headtube wouldnt be so long
-I too drink pbr (i homebrew, but pbr is my binge drinking beer), lately I have been getting wasted 3-4 nights a week

When I got my new Roubaix in January I was removing all the warning stickers and without thinking I removed one of the non-removable
stickers under the bottom bracket. Now it bugs me that it's not there. Everytime I look at my bike I think about it. Obsessive.

I wear lycra even though I am 100# overweight. Saw myself in the mirror once and vowed to throw some loose shorts over the bike shorts. But haven't done it yet.
I spit on vehicles parked in th bike lane, but only if the driver is not there.
I like the clean-shaven feeling but let the hair grow in the winter bc I don't have a good explanation.
I'm a sweaty mess when i get to work, but i don't shower Again even though they installed one just for bike commuters.
I pay cash at the LBS so my wife won't Know how much I'm spending.
Im selling my IGH because i can't replace the wheel without a friend's help and am scared of flats.
A cashier once stopped me from buying a pair of women's bike shorts, but they fit fine actually

Till this day no one has matched me on my local 2 and a half mile MUP, but this guy was wheel sucking me without my knowing. I thought i left him in the dust and he was RIGHT behind me. Guy was 50+ too.
I despise people with pocketed jerseys cause when i forget to bring water, they have a gatorade in their rear pocket just staring at me. (same guy above too)
