Aaron formerly of Converge right? Or is that Damon?

Scrodzilla 10-17-11 04:28 PM

Damon and Aaron were both early members of Converge.

Not today, but yesterday I saw a pair of Mavic Pro Roads on bonktown for $105... I regret not buying them.

Today I got to ride on a Zipp 1150. My buddy got it off craigslist for cheap (relatively) and is using it on his road bike. The hub has a 7spd on one side and fixed on the other. It doesn't have a braking surface so he's only using his front brake. One of these days I'll have to try it out on my fixed gear! I'd be tempted to buy it off him if I hadn't just had a rear wheel built. Also I know I would need some AYHSMB decals for running a spinnergy and zipp disc on a conversion :P

Yesterday, I skipped the Detroit Bane show and bummed about it all night. Today I rode on my 25c gator hardshells for the first time(of any length) and loved them compared to my old tires.

Better hope there's no wind at all where you live. Hahaha


Also, I feel you need to buy this shirt. I may get one myself.

Today, I topped out at 37.3mph for my sprint into campus (with the help of a little tail wind)

toady my brian stopped wokring.
oh wait i remember, i ordered a stem form rei.

RGNY 10-17-11 07:35 PM

today i considered Aerospokes (or variant) for my 725 build. then i thought about the beautiful synergy of all those little spokes working together in harmony to keep my big a** off the ground and shelved the idea until spring.

hamfoh 10-17-11 08:02 PM

today I rode the **** out of my mash. normally I stop at most reasonable redlights but I just felt like hauling ass today, feels good man.

also priced those aerobars for $40 on craigslist and got a buyer within 15 seconds. was about to come here and brag afterwards, then he flaked and gave me the 'if someone else wants them before i can come, sell the bars to them' - aka never coming

Craigslist is pretty sketch. eBay FTW.

+1. I've dealt with far too many idiots on Craigslist to ever want to sell something there again.

homebrewk 10-17-11 08:08 PM

...exactly. And who wants to deal with people anyway? :p

homebrewk 10-17-11 08:08 PM

BTW, what are you doing with your 725 if all of its components are on the Kagero?

Scrodzilla 10-17-11 08:10 PM

The only things on the Kagero are the wheels and saddle.

homebrewk 10-17-11 08:13 PM

Oh. Does that mean it's back to the 'spok?

Scrodzilla 10-17-11 08:14 PM

Maybe for a little while. I may end up building a set of Velocity Aeros.

homebrewk 10-17-11 08:17 PM

Good idea. It's awesome that you like the Kagero too.

longjohns 10-17-11 08:24 PM

Today I threw some chrome deda tape on my b123's. They were a PITA! They were too cushy so I removed the cushion underneathso now it's a really thin plastic tape. Looks pretty good! Also ordered a lazer helium helmet! Finally ditching my 20 dollar schwinn. Lol.

I'm willing to deal with the idiots and the awkward conversations to avoid giving eBay a cut of my sale. I feel like I'm immune to being uncomfortable now since I've probably had 40 craigslist meetups for parts in the last 2 years

So you're riding with what is pretty much electrical tape? :/ What's the point of tape if you take off the padding.

calv 10-17-11 08:32 PM

Today I got a job at Carls Jr. I don't know if I should be happy or sad. Haha...

hamfoh 10-17-11 08:33 PM

anyone know what a 1994 Bridgestone RB2 should go for?

Street rider 10-17-11 08:37 PM

Today I played a few games of IM soccer. won the first game, lost the second but did get a goal, yellow card and rolled ankle out of it. Missed this sport immensely.
