I made a Google map for it. http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UT...06f1beffe21af1

In other news, anyone have any tips on removing a seized stem?

Okay, been wondering about this for awhile and now that I saw part of a South Park about the internet...why in the hell do you people who all live in the same town or on the same campus need an internet forum to correspond?

Don't they have a campus phone system/service? Don't you have cellular phones? Maybe I'm just old (not even thirty) but it is weird to me that you'd come here to talk to someone you could call with two cans and a string.

What will you do when the internet goes down? How will you figure out when and where to meet up for a ride? And, more importantly, how will you find pictures of Japanese girls puking into one another's mouths??!

I dont know how to interact with people in real life

What's even more off the wall is that we are all in the same room while on the forum. Come to Richmond and find out we are men of few words. Bring a laptop to access bikeforums if you want to be in the know on what's going down.

Sidenote: Polo was pretty tight yesterday. Saw some new faces I would assume are also on here. Would have said what's up but that's what this thread is for.

polo on thursdays? what what?

I will play polo any day of the week. I might even play twice in one day.

Well, I have a bike now. A 64cm old roadie, keep in mind that I'm 5'11" and all torso. Stock everything, except the wheels that came with my Kilo, and Nitto Jaguar and b123s. A bit of an oxymoron.

Anyone have an old pair of pedals with clips they could float my way for cheap? It's all I need to start riding again.

First, try PB Blaster. Soak it, then wrestle it a bit. Once it moves-- even slightly-- stop and reapply PB blaster. Let soak. Twist again. Repeat until you succeed or you give up...

Some folks have luck with ammonia or heat.

Failing that, saw the stem off. Leave as much as you can poking out from the headnut (ie cut as close to the bend in the stem as you can. Get what is called a "drop" hacksaw, and very carefully saw three grooves on the inside of the stem. Hit the stem on the outside with punch and hammer. If done properly, the stem will collapse in and you can easily remove the bits.

This last takes time and care, and quite obviously destroys the stem. Care must be take to not saw thru the stem into the fork column.

(this assumes a quill stem)

If you cant get it out yourself I probably can... we have dealt with an unnaturally high amount of seized stuff this year and have all the proper tools for even the most drastic measures.

drop that hammer

I've got the old pedals off my kilo with the clips/straps still on if you want them. I live on Winder st. (which sounds pretty close to you). let me know and you can stop by or i can drop them off.

good to see the inrva idea stuck. sorry dudes, i moved into a house featuring no interweb, so i am no longer surfing daily, or weekly.

i imagine you did see some new faces at polo on sunday, nick

My bike is up for sale on the CL. Need to get rid of it, complete or parted out, to make room for my new build I'll be starting.

ah this is awesome. Now we can all talk smack about jakes polo skills and his lack of ability to ride a bicycle and it wont catch up to him for like a week!

and on that note....I need to brake calipers/pads

Jake has just been e-sucker punched.

Rain polo is pretty legit. Except I had a difficult time dealing with my bike falling apart, or imagining that my bike was falling apart.

lulz

yo a buncha Richmond heads better come rep at the ESPI's this weekend, were taking dennis's short bus. the RVA tard cart will be in full effect. if its sunny this week please get some games going. Night games at the james river bus lines parking lot behind lowe's and afternoon games at holly st. I need to practice on some fools for this weekend so bring it.
TEAMS FOR ESPI's...
-the only f'sure teams I know of is mine, which is me dennis and ian
-many really good players need teammates so man up and form some cohesive teams.(Im looking at you nick, jake, corey, ben, tony d., rickey, and plenty of others..)
-If you want in on the bus better get to planning
.....see you mark's on the street

Yo I'm trying to get on that bus. Ima call Dennis tonight to see if me and Zoler can get on it... the bus that is. The trophy is coming home with me. I also want to steal someone's dignity when i get up there.

I'll be trying to play tonight if it stays looking sunny so get at me.

I don't have phone numbers so I may not answer, but leave me clues in a voicemail so I can guess who it is.

Oh and if someone has a lead on a mechanic that can inspect my car before the weekend that would be rad.

i'm tryin to get on the bus, but i mean, you know you don't really need me to play. i'm down for hecklin and hangin. blade can't get outta work, and i already got outta work for this. let me know if there's room.

You need to get in touch with Dennis. PM me if you don't have his digits.

daddy got in touch. daddy on da bus. this oughta be fun.

Tightness!!!!!

nick, blade can check out your car whenever you want. best time to get him is between 2-6 any day. or on sunday. he's magic with his mechanic skills.

Hey anybody that was out last night at the sprint series at the diamond, I had to leave in a hurry and I left my Ulock and a grey jacket out there. If anybody picked it up give me a ring 540 287 0633. My name is Andy Jenkins.
Thanks All

yo.. get off the interwebs and go ride your bikes.
