Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Today I put in 40 miles, the storm has been a "bit" over hyped here. Not even 1 flake of snow on the ground here(they said 3-6".)

Today I woke up sore as hell after playing 2 indoor soccer games last night, a semi-final followed an hour after with the grand final. Worth it though, I now own a nice glass beer mug with 'Premiers' written on it

today i was helping my friend build his bike and underneath his saddle on the plastic is said "McSelle" and i thought that was pretty funny. almost as funny as this "Thinsuloto" hat he got at the mad hatter. except that hat is awesome.

Oh and on the subject of sunglasses, I only ever bought less than $50 sunglasses (that's about as cheap as you can get in on Aus without getting super-dooper ****ty knock-off knock-offs) and I recently forked out for some Electrics. The world looks prettier than i've ever seen it through them and I will never again buy a cheap pair.

he won't give me back my keys until it's up to "his standards". he was super fast with the quote, dealing with insurance for me, ordering parts, setting up a rental car, giving me tips on how to deal with the insurance company on my end... just not good at all about estimated completion.

I know it sucks to wait, but usually its worth it. I had the same thing happen to me, got really irritated after hearing "it will be done tomorrow" about three times. But when i got the car back it all went away, the car was flawless. So if he really is taking his time because he needs the car to be up to his standards than i would say its well worth it.

Anywho, today i dropped off my motorcycle parts to get painted and signed up for my motorcycle classes in three weeks

Tried to install mustache bars on the Fuji. The brake cables that were on it were too long (good), the derailleur cables are too short (bad). My new Dremel is freakin' amazing, btw.

Also, I managed to tear two ****ing sets of bar tape as I was removing them.

Also also, I'm all out of electrical tape. BETTER LUCK NEXT WEEK

Today I sold my rollers. I hardly ever used them, so **** it. Now I go to look at a new apartment. After that, an event focusing on three of my favorite things: beer, food trucks, and reptiles. A nature museum is having an event with butterflies, snakes, lizards, beetles, craft beer, and a bunch of food trucks. Rad.

today i thought long and hard about my next mtb....
i decided on a specialized carve sl.
it's going to be a departure from what i'm used to (alum frame/full carbon fork/ebb) but that's also part of it's appeal.
not to mention that a stock 19" weighs 22lbs.
going to go enve bars, s-works post, s-works stem and tubeless right off the bat...should knock over a lb off from the get-go.

^not mine....but i should have it together around this time next week.

Today I further ensilvered my Marin with the addition of a Thomson seatpost, but phone cam is glitching out a bit. Might get silver tall stack stem tomorrow. Now about that fork...

Today I decided on the new caad wheelset, and listed my A23s on CL.

Got like three hits within an hour, people thinking I'm selling the caad for the price listed. People are stupid and need to read.
