Why do you hate red-haired kids with freckles? Racist.

i had my first track class yesterday. it was amazing. i'm so stoked. i can't wait to start racing. next week we do our first time trial. i have a slight feeling i may be the fastest in the class. it's not a competition or anything. but it kinda feels good, y'know?

we should move this thread to the track cycling forum. it's so sadly dead over there.

Hell yeah B, proof of existence, but sad, sad cell camera. . . I think you may be leaning on the period key.:D

OT: My geared Crosscheck (pic) is about to get pimped. I built a disc wheel for it, and am going to get a Cotic Roadrat disc fork ( http://www.cotic.co.uk/order/forks/ ) and one of those nice new Shimano mechanical road disc brakes. ( http://elitecycling.biz/page.cfm?Pag...ils&sku=BR8554 ) If I'm not feeling too poor when that's over I'll get a nitto UI-5gx stem. My current stem only has two bolts in front, so it's very hard to get it clamped down tight enough that the bars don't sag when I go off a curb. Plus the UIs are so so pretty.

Its 40 and sunny...heat wave? New saddle should be at home waiting for me. New crankset in the mail. Just mounted new tires. 4 long hours till i get to go ride. Also the extra hour of daylight might just come in handy. I just hope i don't get stuck in bike traffic like i did on the way home last night.

Yes! The fever's building! Actually, it's going to be a long time 'til I get it put together. We have a Velodrome opening here in April, so I'm looking to spare no expense. That means I might get to try it on the track sometime this summer :o

Here's a link to the mfr, though I'm sure you've visited many times before. It's a 62 - I'm a big boy now.

I'm sharing my cube with my Canfield Balance today and counting down until 4:30. We fire back up the local Tuesday group rides this week, thanks to the time change, and I can't wait to start riding after work with the locals again.

I'm considering switching from the wacky cruiser bars I have on my bike to drops...

Still hemming-and-hawing on whether to slap a front brake on it and change the "gearing."
BTW, I'm trying to get something going (along the lines of the word quiz) where a front brake
installed on a fixed gear simply for safety's sake is referred to as a "Barry Brake."

Barry is a lawschool classmate who would be very happy if I put a front brake on the bike. Barry also
doesn't ride home after dark, which is going a little far, but I have to admit the brake thing is fairly reasonable.
