Today, again, I hate how short I am on money.

I also threw on this generic 120mm (or 130mm i'm not too sure) stem I got from my friend and I think my 90mm stem feels a bit better. I think if I went with 100/10mm It'd be perfect.

^sdoihasdiohasiodasda :(

edit: At this point, I'm going to start selling off **** I don't use and stuff off my Kilo just to get that frameset. Maybe I can snatch a $25 beater frame for school and stuff.

Ugh, I took the train to work today as a "reward" for racing yesterday. Somehow I always forget how much worse my public transit commutes are. Should have just gotten on the ****ing bike.

Thanks !

Another...

Today I found a Bridgestone / Kabuki track frame (with fork) in my size... happy freaking birthday to me.

It's a little scruffy and needed a little alignment (done) but should be a fun project... think I have pretty much everything I need to build it up and will have a use for those Major Taylor bars I have.

:D

Today I did my longest ride (a measly 40 miles) down a scenic trail ending at a lighthouse and fort dating back to the Revolution. I'll be hurting tomorrow, and now I want a new saddle. Great day.

Today I put in 64 miles with a ton of climbing. May do the same tomorrow.

striknein 10-24-11 10:19 PM

Today I built my first wheel. Double-wall rim, 32h 3-cross to a road hub. It was terrifying.

calv 10-24-11 10:23 PM

Today, I put up a boatload of items on ebay, craigslist, and some other forums.

Got somebody who wants to look at my Kilo frame located in the same city.

DAVE & KAGERO SIZE MEDIUM, HERE I COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOME:

But for real, that's awesome. All I have seen are ****ty locals at small raves downtown.

Today I woke up and was grumpy that it dropped below freezing for the first time last night. Then I went to lab and poked at a pig heart, then did some ABO type blood testing. Now it's 10.15am and I just finished breakfast, and am home studying for a midterm this afternoon and eagerly awaiting the UPS guy w/ my new Kilo. At least it's at the 'out for delivery' stage on the tracking page and I can quit refreshing it every 10 minutes to make sure it was actually gonna make it here today. Later I will assemble my new ride and go to kick a midterms ass, then take a leisurely ride along the river with some tunes afterwards when it should be up into the high 50's and nice out.

That is if I can survive this waiting part. I'm so impatient.... :bang:

ddeadserious 10-25-11 10:59 AM

Today, I woke up and didn't ride my bike to class because it's supposed to rain. Then I discovered I only need 2 classes next semester until I graduate.

Doomride 10-25-11 01:11 PM

Calculating funds to see how much of my next check I can blow on bike crap. It's lookin good :) After work, it's class time, and head home for a nap. Wake up, make some dinner and make a shopping cart. Go for a ride with a buddy and chill with some coffee.

DrewShannon 10-25-11 01:15 PM

Today I found out that my LBS got my new Brougham in, and that they're putting it together for me tomorrow. That means I need to go to the UPS facility after work to put up my new U-Lock. Can't wait to be back on a bike again!

SSbalt 10-25-11 01:19 PM

Today I: Woke up hungover(yay Monday night boozing) to my dog going ape-****...

Investigated the matter and realized there was a UPS truck delivering my Windsor Hour:thumb:. My first fixie.

In the process of building it up as we speak. I'd take pics but its just stock - so use your imagination.
