I also wanted a steel track frame so I could eventually put S+S couplers on it, which this bike may eventually get.

most things in the world are less lame than "ninjas" and "pirates," but i do like the food at taco ninja, even though it's a bit pricey. www.taconinja.com. $1 taco mondays. jackpot.

Maybe I should start a burrito shipping business like these guys in France do with their cheese.
