Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer?

Such a sharp looking frame. Very nice, can't wait to see it built up!

Crazy headwinds on a long (usually) easy hill made me feel like Lance this morning. Stopped by the courier company I used to work for after class. One of their guys is out because of a broken foot, so I'm going back to work part-time for a little while.

Rough day. Met the staff that the chef hired for the kitchen, and a guy I can't stand got hired. I'm glad I'm his boss. Don't worry though, I'm not gonna fire him just because I don't like him. I'll wait for him to **** up first. Then I got into a fight with my wife, while playing pseudo-marriage counselor/general advice guy for a friend. Irony...

Today some guys in my dorm and I had a cook-out. Definitely ate 4 steaks for dinner. Now I'm just chilling in a food coma listening to Queens of the Stone Age.
