Did some wrenching. Ate some Indian. Hung with an awesome friend. Found out I need new pedals ASAP. There's a local shop that has All-City track pedals, 4-hole clips, and leather doubles. I may have to grab a set.

the fixielash, it is upon us. fixed wheels and some other parts are starting to be donated to the co-op more frequently

Builds for RG customers. Thankfully, Angie saved me and built the last two. One of the many reasons she rules.

I didn't know you guys did that many wheel builds; that's really awesome.

I would give you my wheel build business, scord, but it wouln't make sense to ship you my hubs and then have you ship me back my wheels

To my LBS!

Today I had one of those days where I was mad the whole day for no reason.

Worked.

Stopped to grab some beer on the way home from work.

Sat my ass down on the couch and turned on the TV.

Currently working on downing first bottle.

Today would have been a friend of mine's birthday. He died a few weeks ago after losing his battle to cancer. I also had to freeze my ass off for 2 hours because of marching band. Thank god its the end of the season tomorrow.

That's really sad, man :( .

Tonight I'm going to the Macklemore & Ryan Lewis Concert

I love those days. I went through a few during the summer and my friend took me to some punk shows to let off steam. it was fun

homebrewk 11-17-11 08:54 PM

yeah... I really wanted to just ride harder than a ************ instead of school.

misskaz 11-17-11 09:02 PM

Today I (with a little help) installed new brake cables, housing, cross levers, and bar tape on my cross bike.

I also took the rear brake off Pikachu. No more ugly cable clips, I'm so happy.

Today I realized my frame is bent. The other day when riding on a trail at night I hit this small tree/large branch that was fallen down and flew forward over my bars. Since then I had been riding other bikes just cause that bike has clipless and I had been riding to class and other stuff when I didn't want to wear my clipless shoes. Today I was riding the small tree bike and leaned against the wall to admire and then "oh god what the f*!#!?!?!?!?!" ))): The top tube and down tube are slightly curved by the head tube, it's still rideable but I hate it and don't wanna ride it. Luckily christmas is just around the corner. Time to start saving for a new track frame I guess...

Check out the Soma Rush in the Great Deals thread. If I needed a track frame I'd take a good look at that one. Actually, I'd probably just get it.

Ran a 7:30 mile. Pretty proud of that.
