Today I can't stop drooling over the CAAD10, especially the Rival build. Of course, right after I pour my bike savings into my ideal fixed gear build, I end up moving to an area where I would kill for a road bike. If all goes well I'll have one by spring, hopefully.

You have to watch it with this playing in the background...

Esther Garcia. She has her own studio called Butterfat Tattoo. She did my other tattoo and is totally awesome.

Uggghhhh, I want one so bad too. I can't decide between splurging on a caad 10 or actually getting a real track bike to use when I start next year. I guess I could use the Kilo for the first season.

I hate bike party.

thanks to both of you, and anyone else. i'm not sure if/how voting matters as it's said to be a juried competition but i figure it can't hurt.

the caad 10 is such a sexy bike, the only thing keeping me from loving it unconditionally is the wide top tube...
think i'll go annoy people about it in the road forums

max5480 10-01-11 11:44 AM

Someone here on base invited me to go to SJBP.

I have no idea what to expect, really.

Went on a 20 mile ride today. Ride back in was horrible with 20 mph head winds the whole way. Le sucks.

Then I had a burger and some froyo to make me feel better.

Now I have to study for two exams next week. Le bummers.

If you go, be very careful and aware of who's around you, or you'll end up in a wreck.

I party too hard, so people will just fall down before they wreck with me.

Also, today I woke up with my trousers soaked. I figured it was sweat because it was hot as ****, and the sun was beaming through the window right on me. Lolno, it was urine. Clean up of shame #1.

carleton 10-01-11 02:42 PM

I met a girl a the coffee shop today. I showed her my Kindle. She was impressed.


True story. I was sitting next to her randomly. We'd been sitting together for about 45'. I look over and read the first paragraph of the page she's on and recognize it. I said, "Hey...you want to see something really weird?" I pull out my kindle and turn it on. We are reading the same book...THE SAME PAGE OF THE SAME BOOK. She thought I was David ******** Blaine.

She later offered me some coffee from her pot.

This bag is noticeably lighter than any other messenger bag i've had, including my timbuk 2 even without padding. And the reload has padding.
It's stable and the cordura isn't as slick or nylony as other bags. I like how minimal it is and it fits nicely. it's got a lot of space and it's rarer than a seagull or whatever, for not much money at all, when you notice that the craftsmanship is evident and the materials are expertly chosen.

if you want a lightweight messenger bag with good strap features for a good price it's really a pretty good option.

Nice. Mine is from Dan Tipton at Royal Flesh, but I may find someone else soon. Dan is a kid I grew up with, and he's being an ass lately. Also, I'm reasonably sure we've met in real life, either from riding around or drinking at the Sov.
