Yeah, just wanted another opinion. I kinda work that way. Whateva. Color Histogram it is.

i know LOL.

it wasn't in my mail box either, s/he gave up and just set it on my porch all foldy... probably heard it 'crack' when they tried to fold... and went.. "uh, lets just leave this here...."

I rode about 60 miles around Chicago, 40 of which was with ironpuppy13. Booze, bike shops, tacos, Chrome store, and coffee. Good times.

Today I did my sprint work only to discover after my first set that I put a rock through the front tire. Got new tire and got the final two sets in.

went to via bicycles in south philly today. what a great store. first time ever being in there and the owner shares his lunch with me b/c he said i should taste how good it was. what a great guy.

just bought white bar tape, and looked at ALL the stuff in the store, i was like a kid in a candy store. almost bought new bars but held back.

wow if i wore jerseys I'd be all over either of these.

I hate UPS.

Try some... jerseys rule.

NEVAH

anyone have any experience with the winemann Zac-1800s? I think they used to come on the MTT. I'm trying to trade my b43 for a lighter wheel and had this one offered to me. solid trade?

ZAC1800's are pretty baseline and they wouldnt be particularly strong or lightweight. i'd sell the b43's and just build up some open pros/kinlins/aeroheads or whatever.

damn. easy to say no to strangers, harder when it's someone you know :/ was hoping they were better than it seemed.

A good justification to get the MASH stuff if you like it is that it's Capo.

Hey, that's what I'd be banking on. Too bad I only buy cycling clothes from Bonktown :\

Fun being brooooke

I've been looking lately too. So tempting.

Today I realized that I can't afford my house in Cali anymore and I have to move to Idaho next month to shack up with a friend.. I'm super depressed about being frozen and landlocked so I'm drinking sake all alone in candle light, while I contemplate things to sell. At least I can keep both bikes. Hoping that somehow Winter will pass quickly. Oh, I was supposed to go to my LBS to true my new wheels today but I was not at all in the mood. Maybe tomorrow.

Sorry to hear about that; best of luck!

for real though, california living expenses SUCK.

I built the kilo again with the original fork. got a haircut too. the cinelli fork is squeaking. don't want to ride on it no mo.

i want a Winter bike. Maybe a SSCX, or a keirin. i don't want my track bikes or my dirt jumper or even my g&t. i mean they're all ****ing awesome but i want something that feels like its mine in a way none of those do.

:mad:

I know, Capo stuff rules. Normally you get what you pay for in terms of new cycling clothes.

Wow, that's no fun. Good luck!

(PS: if you ever need something don't hesitate to ask, we all like to help our fellow sqrl's)

But you already have the Nishiki! And if you feel like you have too many bikes on your hand don't hesitate to let them go... :innocent:

Congrats on the improving sig!

Oh no :C

CA living is way too damn expensive.

Thanks! I'm really proud of our team.

I had a fork replaced there after a car accident once, and yeah, Curtis is a really cool guy. Did you see the 2nd floor? I hear it's like King Tut's tomb in there.

That sucks dude. Seriously stupid people out there, especially in the vinyl world... and in the postal delivery world...but in the real world too.

finally got my kinlin/novatec wheels built up...

Today I got in my endurance work 5 minutes after I get inside it starts to rain.

Thanks for the support. I mean that towards everyone.. Just too lazy to quote you all cause I'm on an iPhone. Please forgive the pity party, by the way. I was drunk and upset and my boyfriend was asleep so I had no one to talk to. XD

Today I tensioned and trued my new front wheel. First time ever using a stand. It's hella fun and helped me to relax and take my mind off things. Wish I could true wheels every day. I can't wait to go back in the morning and work on the rear. Wheelbuilding has been my favorite experience with bike maintenance so far. I still have not installed a headset or bottom bracket, though. Sometimes working on bikes is just as enjoyable as riding them. :)
