Ordered a new wheelset for myself. Psyched is an understatement.

Today I decided if I get a new wheelset for Pikachu, I'm gonna try building 'em myself. Hard enough to find many options in the 650c fixed pre-built wheelsets anyway.

today my wabi wheels came in. they look way better in person than on the site.

Today I

Spent an hour cleaning my bike after 10 days caked on road grime, dirt, clay, sweat, water, gatorade, etc. that resulted from the Festive 500. I learned that my rear cassette is actually a 12-25, not a 12-28 like I had previously thought. Made all the climbing much more satisfying.

Also, Today I should be receive more parts from Scrod for my Leader! Ultra excited as that will just leave: wheels/tires, front brake, hoods, and cutting the steerer tube before she is on the road!

Got called a fa**ot by some middle school kid while I was heading to the grocery store on the Peugeot. I wish that **** didn't bother me as much as it does.

Today I got a Kilo to replace my old "The hour" I built her up and its a perfect fit

Better that than have an "adult" passenger in a pickup throw a bottle at you.

get that -every- time i ride the celeste 725.

i kinda divide folks into two categories on this one: ones who've been punched in the mouth real-real hard for being rude and those who haven't. some are just raised wrong.

one of the officers on my team had a bad complex about that. he was a semi-pro bodybuilder and did the whole GQ look. he finally came to me (w/ the counseling background) and asked me if he looked gay. i diffused the situation with "well, you are curiously well groomed..." :)

You guys are being offended by the wrong thing here.

Recalling the photos you posted, I feel like you're not the kind(or size) of dude I'd be calling names. Does it really happen that often?

People are stupid.

that is when u whip out the machete and scream at the top of your lungs riding full speed at the little prick. if he runs chase for a little if he stands his ground deliver a nice hard slap with the side of the blade. he will never call you a ****** again.

Clearly the most logical solution.

It's a weird thing, bikers give me the salute when I'm rolling down the street, but ****ing kids want to try to hassle me all the time. I've had one kid shout in my ear to try to scare me off a bike path as I'm rolling by, I've had another shout and throw a plastic bottle at me while I was riding past his house (which was hilarious, because his mom saw him from the window and smacked him across the mouth), and then this kid. All middle school/early high school, and all scrawny little bastards too. Maybe it's one of those things where because they're so MUCH smaller than me, they think there's no way I'd kick their ass. They're kinda right, too.

Pay their uncles to scar them for life

Single Speed. No brakes. Can't stop. Don't want to ei- Wait, no, seriously I can't stop *thud*

Happened to a friend playing bike polo. Straddle cable broke on his ****ty mountain bike, he was hustling cross-court to get the ball, did the Fred Flintstone to no avail. Flipped rightover a pony wall, it was HILARIOUS.

Today I had a decent roller session and rode to the bank. I really need to invest in a fan. With all my windows open and the heat off my room is still 70 degrees when it's 40 outside. Gotta love living in an old dorm with a ridiculously powerful heating system.

My freshman year I lived right above some sort of boiler room, so in addition to the ridiculously powerful heating system and that my room was like a friggin sauna. My window was open for most of the cold season.

ditto.

it's just that age when you know everything, will live forever and are indestructible. i remember those days, but i never tested the indestructible to that extent.

Today I:

Have been looking for a new set of brake levers for a future upgrade on the Stop Cycles... I didn't know Tektro made a brake lever with integrated bell...

heh, kids don't care. i have a boxing heavy bag hung up in the back yard. i'll be working it (see pic) and there's a pack of 12-15 year old boys that yell stuff like "now kiss it with tongue" and "i bet your boyfriend likes that". when i was growing up, if i'd done that to an adult, i'd have been beaten by both that adult and my father. times change, now kids know they can have you in jail real quick if you go after them.....

Finished building my bike, put the new handlebars and brake hoods on and serviced my rear hub. Good day.

Today I'm trying to conquer Final Cut.

Which one, X or 7? I use 7 all the time at work, and we upgraded to X and I was like wwwwhhaaaat?

Good now though

I was used to pro studio 2, and when i went back into my highschool to observe/visit, they'd upgraded to X. Its so awful. The range of stuff that you can do is so completely limited from what it used to be. I am disappoint.

Today I received my fork from Scrod. Went to my LBS to go get my headset and fork installed, but I have to come back tomorrow to pick it up. So close to a finished bike :D
