hahah, creep out questions are over. Cory's for me as well. I would have just sent PM but don't have 50 posts yet. Anyway, have fun riding in MKE. If you see a Kona Paddy Wagon on the road with bullhorns give a shout out.

Oh yeah I'll be sure to shout "NI HAO GAO JIAN" if I see anyone on a Paddy Wagon with bullhorns...
Was that snarky? Oh well. Maybe you can be my bike buddy. Cuties only though.

I like to have long drawn out should-be-in-a-pm conversations in otherwise fun threads too.
On Topic: I think tri-spokes are horrendously ugly and no where near as street-swag-y as aerospokes.

On Topic: I get a giant grin on my face when someone comments on my bike or does a double take.

I helped my friend sell stock Kilo TT wheels for $90, too. That's a lot more than I would have paid for them.

I get depressed when I look at myself and realize I'm riding a fixed gear conversion with cut off shorts, a cycling cap, a mustache, and a chrome bag..

Sometimes I impulse bid on eBay auctions. I bid on a Concor Supercorsa at a really good price until I realized shipping was ~$20. Ruh roh.
