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)

Excellent call. They've got Fat Tire there now, too.

I'm having dinner in Evanston on Friday night, so I'll probably be back in the city ~10. I'm assuming it's pointless to try to plan what'll be going on by then, but I've got yer numbers. Monkey, schloe, et al: see you at lunchtime.

chiamdream and I are meeting at pie eyed around 1 or so,
then stopping by Yojimbos. I think I'm going for a long ride
beforehand - maybe the lakefront - Jackson Park - Pie Eyed.
Any and all are welcome to join in.

I could also have a few afterwards if it's early enough - say
Happy Village Bar around 4 or so?
is this today or tomorrow? I am kinda assuming tomorrow.

I think we'll have enough people to use this:



or maybe we'll just get hooked up if we wear the Meat N Greet shirts.

before we hit the bars, let's meet up at wicker park(or somewhere, heck we could meet at my place) with some sixpacks and 40s and ride all over town. that way we can be good and ready when it's time to sit on our asses in a bar for the rest of the night.

Sunday marks the rebirth of christ and 23 years since my birth. That's all I'm going to say about that.

Okay
Plan:
Friday night - meet at Ira's (based on your post) at 8pm? Beer up. Ride out LONG WAY to HANDLEBAR? Drink. Quenchers? And then maybe ride out once more to HAPPY VILLAGE BAR. To Cleo's? To ???

And WithNail - where you at again?

I don't think I'm free on friday because we're heading to the suburbs. But saturday or sunday nights are cool with me... hell I don't know I mean I would be cool to do some **** for the rebirth of me/jesus on sunday but saturday would be cool too. I'm going to be staying in wicker park on saturday but that's flexible if somebody would tear me from the long arm of the girlfriend. Friday is off for me though. I've got your number 165 and if anybody wants to pm me their number too that would be awesome. The more numbers I have the more people I would assume we would be able to get together.

Laaave you.

Also- my buddy Brent from the bikeshop is playing in a country swing band at the Clipper Friday night- we should hit the ladies up for a few dances when we're good and sauced!

Saturday is still a score - we can hit up a slew o' bars in the WP area - Some funner than others, and some with the possibility of free digs! Scrum!
Cleo's after 1030pm = free morsels.
Club Foot = more secondhand smoke than a 1961 College classroom.
Innertown Pub = Innertown Pub

get your **** on and everyone forget about familial responsibilities. join us. Illa call when I get downtown Satuday - I have some reading to do, so I might hit up Atomix beforehand.

Sorry I'll miss the Apple Dumpling Gang's lunchrun to Pie-Eyed, but I have lawn implements to load-up for delivery to KENOSHA!!!! But alas, I am not doing the delivery. I hope to be downtown by mid-afternoon.

See you all at Ira's place!

if you need my digits, PM me.

I'm judging somewhere way over 4. If you wanna ride up with me I can meet you at the hen at 7:30.

Hey, this is a shot in the dark but does anybody have a freewheel removal tool i could borrow/come use? i am pretty certain it is NOT a shimano-spline-style hub, but the other, more old fashioned kind,
