I'm sure everyone has gone home for the break but does anyone have a ****ty 700c rear road wheel they'd want to sell me? my roommate somehow tacoed mine.

funktupmofo 12-17-07 10:29 AM

Straws,

Do you need a whole wheel or just a tire?


I've got some 700c's laying around. The front one should be alright.

I live about 45 minutes outside of DC, ride there on occasion. Not to bad of a ride taking the trail all the way in.

Maybe we can meet up and take a ride around the city. Although I'm in the process of my first fixed build right now. So can't guarantee I'll have a bike by then.

It's not going to be all that long. Most of the checkpoints are lit. I'm working on the cold, but I don't feel like much can be done about it.

And it better be festive as heck.

VAwitt 12-19-07 12:42 PM

affirmative.

ex_ssn_yn1 12-19-07 02:53 PM

43 degrees on saturday. we'll see.

icknayvon 12-19-07 02:56 PM

Yeah like I said I've put in a request for sun and 65 degrees.

But hey if you don't wanna race come out and hang for sure!

Straws 12-19-07 03:02 PM

I'll end up following people around because I doubt I'll know where all the points are by memory

Anyone have a Sugino 103mm BB they could throw my way? I'll pay.
I bought the RDs, not realizing my BB was splined, not square.
