I get what you're saying and I know I handled that debacle completely wrong.
I guess I'm being way too personal and sharing with strangers. You can't say I don't have informative contribution, at least from time to time, though. I love ranting though, its getting **** off my chest. I guess I think about myself too much, or at the very least, I'm outwardly expressive to an excessive level.
Good **** though. I should've realized you guys don't give a **** about my personal problems.

BFSSFG cares. But in the 'Today I...' thread.
Back on topic:
That sticker is reflective. It works for the most part, but those damn chainstays can get in the way.
I'll probably end up putting more of these on my bike for the sake of visibility.

Well I value your opinion and thank you.
I would rather rock macaframa than mash. I liked their movie better.

You're right! Everything but the cog, stem, headset spacers, seatpost, and saddle were bought from RG.

Preliminary assembly of the cheap build fat tire fixed (can I say "gravel grinder" here without being flamed?), testing, adjusting:
40x21 gearing shown, but 22t cog and 41T ring are on order to take up the chain slack. 22T may be too much according to the gear calculator (and depending on the accuracy of my measurements). The 41T ring will definetely work. Will order a freewheel to match the cog I end up using.
It looks kinda weird, but riding laps around the house in the yard feels really good. And though it looks blue in the pictures, it is dark purple IRL. It looks different depending on lighting and viewing angle. And there is a Brooks Flyer underneath the Aardvark cover
that I forgot to take off for the pics.
As much as I like drop bars, the On*One Mary bars look comfortable. Does anyone know a US source for them (Google has failed me)?

I kinda dig the gold chain on that. Might be the way the photo is processed though. Good work J-tron!
