Cute! When I was young, I had a rabbit exactly like that, no lie.

Anyhow I just finished my 10th consecutive fixed metric century.

Today I'm looking into jerseys and bibs.

Anyone ever get a kit off of ebay?
I take it they're knock offs, but if they are decent I'll pick one up

Looking at something like this:

Jerseys are decent for the price. The zipper on mine was bad and would catch sometimes but it's still working a year later. The bibs are "meh" at best. In summary, I believe you get what you pay for.

Today I got in my last ride before Irene gets here.

When I sat down for breakfast today, my sitbones felt really odd, as if they conformed to the shape of my saddle. No pain or sores through, just a sensation.

lolwut? Probably from the 600+ miles you've done in the last week and a half.

Today I graduated... my mentor and partner said that he feels that I am ready to set up my own frame shop here as there is not much more he can teach me and I know what I need to know.

We will still maintain the rest of our business relationship but will be working in different shops and will each have a little more elbow room which was the plan all along.

Congratulations! You're going to have a lot of fun. Good luck as well!

Congrats...

Thanks.

I have some projects in the works already and some interesting ideas on builds... many that have stemmed from feedback I have received here over the years.

Think that #1 will be a custom fixed gear based on an old 1940's Raleigh design... something clean and simple with nice filet work like the original... will be a nice project to get the torch dialed in.

Also plan to draw on my experience with the many bikes I have owned and handled over the decades and take what works well and apply this to new builds... my Moulden is 1/1 but could see myself making more bikes like this since the design is so damn perfect and because Moulden stopped building a long time ago.

Congratulations!

Do you have a website? I'd love to see some of your work!

Today I:

1. Stayed in expecting bad weather due to the hurricane.

2. Worked on my Dad's bike, mostly cleaning: bottom bracket, crankset, headset, pedals, rear rim, frame, fork, fenders. Re-assembled the front hub and pedals. Waxed the frame, fork, and fenders. Another coat of wax and then start re-assembly.

3. Watched a movie.

4. Browsing BF listening to vintage Pat Benatar, good memories.

Today, I finished my 11th consecutive fixed century. Just like clockwork.
Now I'm going to walmart to check out said ghetto fixed gear with my wife to tag along.

Congrats!

Today I stayed in all day and watched 5 episodes of Hell's Kitchen. No work for the weekend, thanks Irene.

today i acknowledged that i have to get a helmet. i've gone from just tooling around my section of the suburbs to hitting county routes and city streets in my commuting to work and other activities. *sigh* i just wish they didn't look like a Transformer left a turd on your head.

yeah, transformer poop is so lame. head injuries are so cool.

oh, i've always been pro helmet, but never wanted to give up the guy points. my own battle with Darwinism has ended. at 41 i look back on time spent skateboarding in NYC traffic/pool/halfpipe and the years of mountainbiking w/o a helmet and shudder. something about my age bracket remembering cars w/o seatbelts, bb gun fights and lawn darts....same old song.

i'm going helmet shopping today.

Right there with you, man. The world has gone soft.

today i bought my first ever helmet (see above):



'08 Bell Influx

****ing gold!

****, that song sucks!

Today i said a not-so-sad goodbye to my Omniums:

Looks grood. What chain is that? Also, are those the Durano Skid tires?

+100 rep from leukybear
Finally, some real cranks.

Thanks. I'm eventually going to swap out the chainring for a black 49t Sugino 75 ring but this works for now.

Chain is a KMC K710-SL. Tire ia a 25c Durano Plus.
