Awww. Surely it was more like this. Possibly with less doping.

ss cross bike. with the knobbies, it was just fine.

So is it WhyFi that was looking at SS and didn't buy yet? Who do we need to apply peer pressure too? Seems like someone was ogling the Civilians at CC.

My next project will be a ss. My "play" funds are all tied up in a project for my son's birthday.

Spotted a train during my afternoon travels. A CSX.

Video unavailable.

Does anyone offer a 1x9 (or 1x10, I suppose...) CX bike retail, or do they have to be built up from parts? Kinda want one for gravel, commuting, and non-serious CX racing, since the hills here are too big (for me) for single-speed, but I could probably get by with a 39 or 42 and 12-27 or 11-28. Full 20-speed is overkill for this.

I got a trainer instead, since watching my boy is a bigger obstacle to saddle time than the snow. Maybe a SS (or 1x) CX in the fall.

Both of the bikes that I was looking at could run an RD - the Civilian or the Raleigh Furley.

just buy the SS. The hills are certainly not too big. It is a 36/16 for gosh sake. The issue is that it is real easy to spin out even when not hammering.

I think you sorely underestimate how much I love my 34x27 gear.

Hope.

That fat mouse is amazing. I find it hard to believe something can get like that, then.... I look at people.

Now that's good stuff, Velo Vol.

I wonder if using a taco for I.D. would help speed the Canadian citizenship process along?

Only if I was applying from Mexico.

LAJ 02-11-13 05:11 PM

To be honest, I don't think it would help to get into that place. Show em a Taco Bell taco there, and I have a feeling they would be on to you in a heartbeat.

If you only knew. There are people out there that make that rat look skinny.

So what is the correct name for the collection of bikes that one owns? I agree with the honorable Surgeonstone that stable and quiver are goofy (at least that is my inference from his implication), but what is the correct term? I like cache, but what term is most fitting?

LAJ 02-11-13 05:32 PM

My bikes.

Simple is good, LAJ right on.
