I found my Suntour ratcheting barcons and my girl friend bought me a nice dark german beer :love:

today i rode home from some weird party with a bunch of older people but afterwards we got drunk and stoned and partied it up at my frien'ds place where i realized i have an addiction to biking because I couldn't wait to get out of my friends apartment (even though the conversation was great) and pedal the hell out of it without gloves below freezing but i could handle it because my legs were generating enough heat for my whole body and i cruzed the streets and i thought of all the join that riding a steel fixed gear frame gives that no one else is experiencing in 1 in the morning thinking about all of life riding smooth roads that have 40 mph speeds and fill up at rush hour but in the dead of night the lights flicker and the streets are clear with nothing stopping you from curzing your top speed, lungs filling to the brim with fresh clean air. omg i love to bike and glad to know there are other people out there who cruise the journey on their ss bikes living each moment while imagining the future, possible on a touring bike... i mean, there's no other way to travel than by bike...

That sucks! Might I suggest: Leyzne products. Carbon one linked for weight weenieism. Never sheer another valve stem again! Glad you made it back to post about it ;)

Today I am going to the World Champion Single Speed Cyclocross races in Golden Gate Park. Now where did I put that cowbell...

Today I am hungover, but it was totally worth it, because last night was rad. Tons of microbrews, tons of whiskey, White Castle, and friends at Misskaz's house.

Not just any old whiskey, but Lagavulin 16yr scotch. That's what did me in.

I just woke up, LOL.

Intoxicated much? If someone actually talked to me like this, I would gradually move away from them.

Indeed. Good scotch. I still taste the peat, even after brushing my teeth. Delicious. I was up at nine haha.

Nothing like a hot bag of dicks and a shake :). We have a Dicks in downtown Spokane but it's not the same as Seattle :/

Also, hang in there Jimmy. I hope you guys can work through it!

My pump rules. Can easily get 120psi in under 2 min.

Best pump in the world wont stop a branch from getting caught in the spokes.

I'm thinking black MSW Velocity A23s for my rims. Not sure about hubs yet, considering Miche. I was also looking at Livery Design's bolt-on cog hubs today...
