Oh, I see. I thought they were trying to charge for group rides. Thanks for clearing that up. :lol:

Today I'm browsing on an iPad for the first time. It's weird, difficult, and I can't decide if I like it or not. Actually, browsing is ok, but posting on the forums is cumbersome.

I post 99% on my iPhone, I think I've been on this forum 3 times on my laptop haha.

Edit: should add my own Today I:

Today I finally trimmed my seat post down, cleaned the bike off after a 27 mile trek with some friends yesterday where we took a bike path and ate Pizza outside an Italian place run by Indian dudes haha.

Good looking cranks! Have the om nom noms fallen from the graces of BFGSS

hamfoh 09-19-11 05:36 PM

I think the GXP bb is what made that happen

redpear 09-19-11 05:39 PM

today i, *not bike related* was almost hit by a lady who ran a red in her camry[beige on beige, of course]. luckily, i was driving a customers R8 V10 and did a maneuver only a few street legal cars could pull off to avoid the incident[make a sharp 90deg right at about 80kmh].

after my balls dropped back out of my body i went and got a coffee.

Good choice on cranks ;)

where did you get he $34 thomson?

jimmytango 09-19-11 07:36 PM

Yeah I wanna know about the $34 Thomson as well.

Today I did about 30 miles that was bisected by two hours of beating the piss out of drums. Good times.

Verbose 09-19-11 08:14 PM

It's in the deals thread. Silver, but it's only 25.4 which is the reason they aren't flying off the virtual shelves.

Today my husband got hit by a car on his way home from work. Luckily he is mostly fine, just some road rash/bruising. His bike is also ok. Still scary.

Today I took my fenders off my commuter as I slowly turn it back into a CX bike.

mkeHENRY 09-19-11 08:37 PM

Today, I destroyed the housing and brake cable while trying to install and cut using just needle-nose pliers. :( :(

How dangerous is it to ride with a un-wound (1 strand) brake cable? hahh.

"HONEEEEEEY!!! Are you OK?!?!"

"Have you seen my CX tires?"


:D

I'm glad he's OK.

Oops. Sorry to hear that!

Today I am officially no longer a part of the pumptrack, am absolutely thrilled about it. I now have the time to focus on getting myself back to a velodrome state of mind.

Haha, well there was a lot of OMG and How did it happen and then a quick ride to the drug store to get him neosporin and gauze and stuff. :D

But yeah, soon we were back to the typical weeknight in our house, talking about/working on bikes and watching football.

Maybe a life insurance policy as well. :lol:

Today I accepted that it's time to stop making the 725 fit me and just accept the size isn't right. Dropped the price on my CL ad to $500 for the frameset (with the leader fork) and am hoping I can get somewhere near that.

Ordered some goodies from Universal Cycles, wish they would price match their thomson stuff!

had some beers with a friend and watched MNF, she was in a weird mood and showed me her pierced nipples three separate times during the night, one time on the back patio at the bar, was a really bizarre night.

What negative shim can I buy that will make a 25.4 stem fit 26.0 bars? :lol:

Keep the fork, sell the frame and buy a 55.
