Anyone trying to laydown some rubber in the nations capitol this weekend? Probably going to be around 40 or so. So wear your scuba gear and a hat. I've got a truck that can hold 3 or 4 if you are small.

Or just meet up there. It is a skitchin good time!
I like to drink arnold palmers and listen to C-murder all the way there

For those that don't know yet, Dan Carr (aka Mustache Dan?) got his entire fleet of bikes stolen from his garage a few months ago, presumably by someone who knew they were there. After a few posts to craigslist and some word of mouth, one of them mysteriously came back, his Botecchia conversion, sans pedals. Until recently, the rest were still missing:

(repost -- and yes, that is his address)

this guy, Andrew Sauser, is the guy that stole Dan Carr's bikes, some **** of a kid that went to the governor's school and lives at the eagle lofts, apartment 114, i'm assuming he's going to vcu or hangs out around the area.

Dan was able to get three of his bikes back, but yeah **** this guy. This should be reposted.

pedal philes, lolz

So I got my first fixie put together today. Anyone trying to ride around 10 this evening to help me get ajusted?

throwintail 01-15-08 06:31 PM

this pedal philes group, how far is the ride and what church is this?

lordgold 01-15-08 06:40 PM

The Cathedral. On campus, right next to Johnson. I have no clue as to how far the rides are though.




And after trying for 45 minutes, Brian and I couldn't get my cranks off. So I suppose I'll be taking it to Bunnyhop when I get the money.

Jenkinsal2 01-15-08 06:52 PM

what was the problem how could you not get them off? I can help.

Straws 01-15-08 07:03 PM

they were just too hard. We used everything we could on the crank puller, we could not turn it enough. It jammed the pin into the crank puller. I got it out when I got home but those cranks are stuck on.

Jenkinsal2 01-15-08 07:51 PM

you guys could try some penetrating oil on them. I Have a pedro crank puller if you want to try again before you take it in with a breaker bar.

lordgold 01-15-08 08:55 PM

I've got liquid wrench. Would that help?

Jenkinsal2 01-15-08 09:08 PM

yeah spray some of that in there and set it so that It wont drip down into the BB or wrap a paper towel or throw some vasaline maybe around the opening of the BB. Leave it for an hour and do the other side then try the crank puller with a breaker bar.

zsno 01-17-08 01:02 PM

anyone else riding tonight?

Jenkinsal2 01-17-08 03:46 PM

Straws 01-17-08 04:39 PM

It's a 50cm so it's hard to miss

are you the dude that's always parked outside of the "uptown" stretch on main near here, you know with uptown color and fat larry's and all that... at some coffee shop or something? i think i saw you sitting outside one day while i walked by (i live on lombardy between main and cary), and if it was you then i don't think i've ever seen you in my life. nor that bike, outside of the context of being locked up there.

anyway i am jacob (not bunnyhop jacob), i ride a beat up, sticker-covered 06 fuji track with risers. i wear an orange baileyworks bag with a big "BIKE" patch on it. if you have ever seen me and wanted to say what's up, do it next time because i suck at initiating meetings but love meeting new people. :P

PS: sup to all the people i recognize on here. i never really realized how many of us are on this site

double PS: here's an old pic. someone volunteer to take new pics pls
