How about Psimet? Haven't seen him either. How long was I gone fer cryin' oot lood?

It's like I showed up at the wrong class reunion.

Still around. Just not nearly as much. Building wheels full time now. Spend tons of time on FB and twitter. Come out here maybe once or twice a day. Sometimes not at all.

Correct. She is welcome to respond. And I am sure she is reading this

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?! I sent you a vague wheel inquiry two days ago and I haven't heard back on it - if you didn't waste your time here, maybe you'd have gotten to my email by now!


(no, not really)

I made this valance for one of our windows in a spare bedroom a handful of years back. Still need to make a half dozen more or so. Thankfully my wife's VERY patient.

Question: is the Daily Cricket a satire/parody site? 'Cause this is just too good to be true -

“He drink all morning,” said Chan. “He get crazy. I tell him no more beer for you and he throw Pu-Pu platter at waitress. He a very bad man. He broke very expensive mirror!”

Hahaha. Yeah, even though it looks like the cover of an O'reilly computer programming book, the Cricket is Onionesque - a lot of really too good/bad to be true stuff in the story.

Nice work Drag.

Years ago it was a winter activity for me too. Now I barely do anything, don't have the patience like I used to.

Busy,busy,busy,busy. Hired 2 people to help with the small stuff. Wife is ready to pop with kid #2 any second. Currently spending a few minutes with the fam while they watch Christmas movies before they go to bed and I go back to work. Good stuff and having a blast.

A guy on the team is selling a set of these. I rode them a bit this week. I like that they are fairly light and they are as stiff/responsive as anything I have ever pedaled..... and the all black looks pretty cool on the November.

Hehe. Surprisingly, no. I somehow convinced her that anything I can make is better than what you can buy at Ikea or Target or even at some better places. However that single valance wouldve been a couple hundred $$$ by itself from a custom online order place, so once you get beyond the shop setup costs, there are some economies realized, especially if your shop helps you in your other DIY efforts.

I do thoroughly enjoy it, and my woodshop does fight for what little spare time I have. Probably along the lines why I get so much satisfaction building/wrenching my own bikes.

This is a cedar outdoor buffet table I made for my sister earlier this year:

Good to hear, Rob. Still not sure if Im doing 50mm clinchers or should just wait for my CX bike and get a set of your 38w Psiclocross carbons. I will be riding your wheels someday soon though.

I would also like to point out that no one has mentioned the silent collateral damage in all of this. He never did anything to deserve all this negativity. Poor, poor, Oscar. He has to bear the shame of it all, Iron man sticker, tri bars. etc. now this? Poor little guy.

You can still believe in Santa too but facts are facts and she was DQ because of facts not suspicions.

I think he got banned for going nuts over Dick's Sporting Goods carrying mid range Diamondback road bikes. :)

I went to Dicks for SnoSeal the other day and there was not a single bike with drop bars in the house. :(

My mp3 player I sometimes bring has a 5-band software EQ, does that qualify as a sound system?
