oh man I grew up in Granville! Gnarliest hills around, I live right over the top of the big hill in the center of town going down that thing on a huffy when you're 10 was instant bamf status. I grew up racing enduro's/harescrambles and granville is a great dirt bike town. southwick highschool '04 woot! when were you there?

Confession: I only bought a bike because I don't live somewhere where I can have a dirt bike right now. It is not nearly as much fun. Also i think mountain biking is lame unless its downhill. It's like what we do racing trails except in slow motion boooorinngggg

I feel ya.

I just can't wait till the summer is here and my fenders could really go **** themselves for poking my in the shins.

they just make most fixed gear bikes look terrible. but i get so soaked without them....

It depends on the build. It you're going for a real sporty tarked out bike, fenders will look like crap.

I was awake. Then I completely crashed and got a couple hours of sleep before work.
Expect a detailed, picture heavy post. It was one of those awesome nights I can talk about here without fear of a ban hammer or legal ramification.

I won't ban you. I promise.

You and Adriano got some perdy hands.

Ha! In reality my hands are so ****ed up from working on bikes, they look like monster hands.

Yeah, well, last night I slept while the rest of the bike community partied. I clearly win

I build the same bike over and over again. My bikes are all so similar it's a little disheartening sometimes.

I can't seem to get rid of bikes or bags. Every time I pick something up, it's intended to be a replacement, but the thing it's meant to replace never goes away.

I'm running out of space.

give me your stuff

I like my stuff.

I tried out fixed for the first time today and it scared the crap out of me, but it was fun as heck.

I also went out thinking I was gonna skid no problem. I didn't. I was scared.

yeah baby, direct drive owning dat ass

I buy lots of parts I don't need, figuring I'll use them "some day" and then get overwhelmed with the clutter and end up selling stuff off on eBay (most often for more than I paid for it, so it works out). I'm sure a lot of us do that though.

I really should take pics of Retrogression HQ sometimes so you guys can see what we're dealing with. Damn place is a beautiful nightmare. :lol:

"Take a picture of your parts bin/room/closet/drawer thread" is in order.

Holy crap - I'll be taking a lot of pictures!

hopefully some more of you in angies underwear as well.

You just wait, boy.

iz diggin me sum dope ass risers lately

Apparently a good way to talk to me is: But only if you floor it to cut me off at a red light and you drive a large truck.

Confession: I was gonna volunteer for a checkpoint for an alleycat tonight. But it's cold and rainy and I don't want to do it if I get stuck with an outdoor checkpoint.

But I still want to go to the goldsprints afterparty. Heh.

goldsprints = fun

gurl goldsprints = drool

:) truer words have never been spoken

i am a road cyclist before i ride fg... but i am used to gears with front and rear brakes. i'd never realized how dangerous it was to ride ss without a rear brake. i may have liked ss had i had the rear brake but it was cheaper to just flop the wheel. so wheel flopped, problem solved. :)

confession: i read posts that i have absolutely no reason to read

my leader was stolen.
But I still had an amazing day.

Awwwww, dude, mondo suckage!!!!!

Glad your day was still awesome though, why was that?

**** where did it happen?

@hairnet - rambons. I tried to find you, and call when I got there but you didn't pick up :p

Woke up hung over and hot, couldn't sleep for more then 3 hours. Took an couple excedrine and laid in bed til I could move. Went and looked for my bike, then went to the Kitchen and volunteered. Supped some cute blonde sqrl and helped her get a hot gravel racer style single speed built up. Then rode to Pasadena and went to a kick back, couple of people were playing music, someone was spinning fire. It was just a very awesome day.
