My office was up there, somewhere.

Upon my arrival I had these waiting for me:

NAILED IT.

Holy sh*t, talk about breaking the bank! Looks great though :thumb:

Meh, those aren't bad. My favorites of theirs are Songs For The Deaf and Rated R. I'm also a big fan of the Eagles Of Death Metal stuff Josh did with Jesse Hughes.

Literally laughed out loud. Thanks for that Schwinn.

Me too.

So last page I said we should take our bikes out to Chicago and ride with some of the BFSSFG guys. You need to buy a SS/FG for this.

Rated R is definitely the best.

Edited to add: also Kyuss. \m/

You just keep getting more rad. Desert Sessions?

Today, these came in: Wooot!

First I was like, "Wow, that's some crazy tire clearance," then I was like, "Oh".

Hahahaha, I stole the tire and threw it on the kilo because I needed a new one :P

...had almost given up on getting my crazy 1984 Trek 620 Single Speed 'Cross build completed, but I came away from the bike shop with some old cantis (with not-so-old Kool Stops), a 17T Freewheel, and a sugino left crankarm, and some narrow chainring bolts all for $15. I bought the guys at the shop a pizza and plate of grape leaves for a tip.

Rode around town in the wind a bit, stopped by the local Occupy encampment for awhile, then rode home. Nice day.

Today I rode this for 30 minutes.

-Cadence jeans 50% off
-500Lumin headlight (it's getting dark in the AM). SF2G crew will be happy, I'm sure - I don't have to mooch light from them.

Post pics of lewtz.

continued to familiarize myself w/ the Nashbar parabolic rollers.

did a sweaty 45min in the basement on my recent Leader 725 build.

Do you have a fan ? If not, I'd recommend you get one.

i'm in the basement. i've got a couple fans that i could plug in, but to be honest i could use a good sweaty workout....

Today it's snowing hard. I was hoping I still had at least a week of biking weather left D:

I'm so happy I retired in north Texas. Just rode 30 miles today. :)

Today I rode 6.5 miles, my longest ride since getting my first fixie a few weeks ago(and my first bike period in like 10+years. My legs are serious noodles and I'm so out of shape from years of my previous hobby(online gaming). Its seriously embarrassing how out of shape I am for a skinny, relatively young guy - but it feels good to be back on the right track.

My gearing kind of sucks(48x15) for my level of fitness, and I'm 50-50 weather I should just tough it out, or get a bigger cog. I basically got the bike for cardio - but I end up being smoked after about 25 minutes of riding :(:lol:

Ah well, a little bit every day.

48 x 15 :eek:

No wonder your legs feel like noodles. Gear down, dude, that's track race gearing you've got there. Throw on a 17 or 18 tooth cog, and spin spin spin.

I'm not in very good shape either, but I've got strong leg muscles, and I wouldn't run 48x15 unless I had to. I run 46x15 and even it's a bit high at times. I think you might get a better cardio workout if you geared down and learned to spin, and then once building up your fitness more, you could gear back up(if you want to). I've got a 17t cog on the way to me right now just for easier riding for the remainder of this [windy] season.

Today, I rode 4 miserable miles against the with a friend and his girlfriend, who kept having to stop, then rode 4 miles back with the wind at our backs in a quarter of the time. It wasn't my favorite ride, but even the worst time spent on my bike is better than sleeping til 1.
