Today I:

- Swapped cranks on the TET and FTP
- Sold the FTP frame/fork/headset/chain/Omniums
- Swapped out the crappy stamped steel cranks and rusty BB with a new (used) BB and some weird mismatched Shimano cranks/Race Face chainring on the polo bike

went back and forth about ******* times on how to brake my "track" bike (rear bridge, undrilled fork).

finally went w/ a clamp-on front brake. not the prettiest, but i can always take it off for the crazy street cred.

****ing cat four filled up a few days ago so i threw some zipties around my shifters and raced SSCX. i was doing good but the masters cat3s were on the course a minute before us so they saw my deraileurs and thought i had been lapped, and ended up pulling me before my last lap. people behind me were allowed to finish, so i was a little pissed.

Blame the sandbaggers. The ones that got the podium spots most likely should have been a category or two higher. This is one of my biggest turn offs with racing these days.

Set up the new bird cage... as it was designed for a Macaw it is pretty huge but really nice for the Indians (Ringnecks) to have lots of room to move and play when they are not flying around the house.

i miss my 500.
the 800 is cool, but the 500 was kinda perfect

chrissss 09-18-11 11:56 AM

Ya dude
Just picked it up a few days ago
First real ride with it
Soo much better than trying to use an app on the iPhone

cc700 09-18-11 12:10 PM

i want a gps diggle. but for the most part it would only depress me

i think i'm going to ride the seattle rando training rides this year.

I heard from Victor2 that you were going to ride up here.

jdgesus 09-18-11 12:13 PM

get the 500, i like the maps and **** on the 800, but its so damn big (twss) and it chows thru battery time like a mofo.

i'll do those "training" rides with you, but im sure we'd both ready for 400K
