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.

hairnet 04-15-11 04:54 PM

give me your stuff

jim-bob 04-15-11 04:55 PM

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.

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.

Scrodzilla 04-15-11 06:04 PM

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

Apparently a good way to talk to me is:

Are you F***ing crazy! You F***ing Idiot!
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.

Squirrelli 04-16-11 03:50 PM

goldsprints = fun

gurl goldsprints = drool

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. :)

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.
