i have no f'in clue but i think it may be where you skid until you're going slow enough to put a foot down and swing the bike around sideways like a hockey stop.

or maybe it's like a skid that's initiated by a bunny hop or skip.

i dunno.

Jamaican skid is when you accidentally unclip and put your front foot underneath the pedal to pull up.

damn, you should bring home some neat-o cheap-o NJS stuff from japan in your luggage! i'd be game to buy some nitto risers or a 27.0 NJS seatpost (i'm in the same boat as you, running a generic $14 post on my otherwise mostly high end bike).

Simple Mercier Kilo. Gearing 48x17. Very fun bike.

I just realized I'm posting this right under the Colnago. That's sad for me.

i see you've made some upgrades to the mercier. my recommendation, for the next upgrade get new wheels. the stock wheels ******** suck and i'm working on building my own cuz the stock ones really are garbage.

i think that green mercier is awesome. it's like driving a porsche instead of a ferrari... you don't have to worry too much about someone opening their door into it. (bad analogy)
