Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Yeah they are at least designed in Austin but it would be nice if they started up production here.

They do have some wild patterns but I like they do one crazy and one not so crazy so you can mix it up when you need to.

NOS Specialized BG Deflect gloves, the old ones, not the new ones. Found them on the bay brand new attached to the original packaging. Have a pair that I have destroyed over the years. Found shop selling them as unsold stock. $25 shipped to my door. HELL YES.

In the last two weeks I scored a lightly used set of Bontrager MTB shoes with cleats for $14 shipped and a pair of brand new Louis Garneau cold weather tights for $23 shipped (MSRP $99.99). The 'bay has been very good to me lately as well.

First, if they weren't so damn expensive, and if they would add some benefit to the Venge, I would do it just to drive you a little crazier!!!

Speaking of your mental health, are your still seeing your psychiatrist just once a week?

No pics available, since I was too busy trying to get out of the way and not fall over laughing. She is only about 105, so she does not really have all that great of a punch.

Louis Garneau Profeel 2 bib shorts from Nashbar for $49.99 (50% off). They also have regular shorts for $39.99 (55% off). I have a lot of Garneau stuff, and it's all very good.

I cut my hair like two weeks back so my helmet won't fit, so I bought a new one. Giro synthe, fits pretty perfect, I could do without the stupid hi viz crap though.
