And it appears not much has changed... hahahaha

Today I toyed around on the dmr.

Sounds/looks awesome. Diggin' that logo. If I was living in the Bay, I'd sign up in an instant.

Today I'm back in NYC after a week in LA/Palm Springs, feeling the same way I do every time I come back from being out west: why do I live in places with winters? Growing up in NY and spending 10 years in Montreal, I've paid my winter dues. Might be time to take the fam out west.

And to keep this post SSFG related, I have a co-worker who started building his own frames a while back. He's recently decided to start building frames for others and asked me if I wanted to be a test rider. This means a free custom geo frame (basic 4130) in whatever style I choose, provided I ride the crap out of it and give him proper feedback. Needless to say, I am excite.

unwrapped bars in snow looks cold.

I wear gloves, and was waiting for the weather to break before I wrapped them... but really I'm just poor. hahaha

Today I signed up to join the Jandro groupie club.

Also rode home and the knee seems to be working well. Bought some "Rock Tape" to speed up recovery.

That's what he thinks the root of it is, a combination of stress and an iodine deficiency. Gonna have some more tests done, but hopefully it can be treated with over the counter supplements.

Yeah, I looked it up after getting the phone call. Just kinda lame really. Hopefully all of this weight will come off. I went from about 175 to 205 since the start of the semester, with no change in diet, which what originally led me to the doctor's office.

Thanks, I'm hoping so.

quick spin to home depot to get some degreaser

it appears that i live on both the top and the bottom of a hill

60% of the time, he makes me feel slow... every time.

Except when there's some headwind on a flat or slight down grade... then my fat ass has a slight advantage... oh and if his tire is going flat

Morgan: Keep us posted man, hope everything goes well

Will do.

Works great on other dirty things as well. I reuse the stuff too. Just soak it in the degreaser, than pour the degreaser back in another bottle.

i got the hdx brand cuz it was nearly half the price... we'll see how it does. i just want to clean some chains.

I got a Wald basket in the mail and my townie/grocery getter is officially done, I think...

The supports were crazy long so I cut 'em in half, drilled some holes and bolted them together at the proper length. This leaves me some room just in case the basket goes on another bike someday -- I can go shorter or longer if needed.

part of my homework

My Pompino arrived today. I am so excite.

i still want one.

Today I cleaned my room and ate nachos. Now I'm drinking beer in my clean room.

get smaller and buy mine.

build plans? are you gonna use it for messing?

Today my Brooks swift arrived (thank you retro-gression) and after paying $30 in GST and 'handling fees' I went to three different bike shops looking for Proofide. None had any in stock but at the third shop the guy offered to GIVE me his barely used tin. That shop, Whoa! Nellie, gets awesome points today. The second shop, Mighty Riders gets honourable mention for being neighbourly and suggesting I try Nelly, since they were out. (I didn't know about that shop before).

Oh, and I also got out of jury selection today, but will have to go back on Thurs.

id need like a 140mm stem and have super aggro geo

2.5 bikes is too many as it is

Messengering? Probably not. Messing around on? Definitely.

Where'd you get it from? They don't have it on their site it looks like.

today i swapped out the axle on my formula front hub for a hollow QR one

i also opened up my mks sylvan touring pedals and repacked them with a bunch of phil wood grease and also fine-tuned them

i also set my chain at the proper length

still waiting on a zillion things in the mail but everything's already been ordered to finish my bike, so its just a waiting game, hoping my chainline will be straight, hoping the parts i ordered will even fit... bahhh.
