Sold my Kilo WT, kinda feeling sellers remorse but the dude that bought it was cool so I'm sure he'll enjoy it and its a bike a rarely used.

Today I made the decision that I really need to get back in shape and ride more. I went from 149lbs in early August to my current 164lbs.

Forgot to mention, plating the driveside dropout worked like a charm, also put in a new axle on the rear wheel.

had a ride up one of the hard hills in the city, but it is worth it, because there is a view of the whole city for about a mile over you left shoulder, then you get a 45 degree down hill slope for a mile, that's a one way.
sat down at macdonlads afterward, threw it up. crap was nasty anyway
Woooooo! note to self, dont try new things at macdonalds.

Well, the stale bread is nasty. But, I actually don't like lettuce or tomato(outside of ketchup) on a burger.

Today I took my Mr. Pink for a short ride around town. It was too cold for any real speed or distance, but I really enjoyed the way the bike rode and fit. I'm sure it will need some dialing in, but I think I will be happy with it.
Also, I leaned the pedal on a curb to take a photo, and it felt over and scratched some components. Sweet, right? :|

anyone remember the name of that site that calculates what spokes you need for your setup? scrod posted it a while back and it seems I didn't bookmark it

Today I had a war with a pair of Vittoria Zaffiro tyres. I bought those cheap and colorful tyres and couldn't fit them onto my rims. I tried 90 minutes and broke two new tubes while fitting them on. Then I gave up.
Over the years I've been using Michelin's tyres and tubes, and I never had trouble when fitting them on. This time, I decided to get some Vittoria rubbers, and it was my worst decision made in 2013.

Not all tire/rime combos are easy to install or get off.
