(i'm kidding about needing tips, not about that you should all check it out)

I have a shaved head and we hang out all of the time. I'm becoming a pro at head shaving.

I'll either ask Scrod about whether I should start a thread about it or just start a blog and link it in my profile.

Should i get this and convert it for my gf?
Univega Custom Maxima
not this this bike, but this bike... paint is immaculate, absolutely rust free...different size, better condition. 50-52cm... cant quite tell, gotta measure it...

should i get it and dump ~$200-$300 doing a nice conversion? i think it would be ****in gorgeous... she's damn lucky its not my size...

EDIT: bike is free btw...

+1. Also make sure that Scrod/Carleton won't move it to Foo. (I'm sure they will understand)

jimmytango 01-23-12 06:02 PM

Just gonna make a Tumblr or something and link it, that way friends that aren't part of BFSSFG can follow it too. Easier that way, and it also prevents the forum from getting clogged with OT threads anymore than it already has.

Anyway, here is what happened today.

Dannihilator 01-23-12 06:18 PM

That's a good looking jersey.

Today was a very wet, soggy 65 miles.

jimmytango 01-23-12 06:22 PM

Yikes...

So, here's that link I was talking about.

Today I bought my books for spring semester. Cost me about 1.4 Kilo TTs. Not a lot for most people but I always get smokin deals and this was the best I could do.

ddeadserious 01-23-12 09:44 PM

Today I bought some Fizik Microtex tape at REI with a gift card and wrapped my bars. I like how much smaller my bars feel now, and the texture is awesome; I also think I did a lot better job than my first wrap job.

Looks great!

xavier853 01-23-12 09:58 PM

Love that tape, I use it too

ddeadserious 01-23-12 10:09 PM

Thanks guys. I really like the feel of it.

I always get to the end and my brain cannot understand how to cut it to have it look/feel right. I clunked my way through it this time, but I couldn't tell you how I did.:lol:

xavier853 01-23-12 10:12 PM

Also, ive found that the fizik logo tape they give you for the end is sh*t. You might want to put on some electrical tape

Thanks for the heads up. It seems fine now, but I've got a roll of black electrical tape, so I'll tape it up again if need be.

Today I found out my bass is broken. My poor baby (EBMM SR5)!! :(

I think it may have been damaged when the case was blown over by the wind in a parking lot last week? But I really don't know. So fuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. I hope it's just a loose connection and not a fried preamp or something else more serious.

LesterOfPuppets 01-23-12 10:42 PM

Ouch! I would not mind having the 4-string version of that AT ALL! Such beauties.

yummygooey 01-23-12 10:43 PM

And I had to play the set on a crappy Squier P Bass with way jacked up intonation (which I fixed) and action (did not dare to fix on the fly). Near horrifying experience.

Here she is... you really can't tell in the picture but it's an awesome translucent teal (pretty much green IRL) on a beautiful beautiful beautiful one-piece ash body. Plays amazing, sounds even better. One day I'll get a good pic in natural light...

Edit: Found a pic of the body from a long time ago!

LesterOfPuppets 01-23-12 10:55 PM

Fingers crossed it's a quick bit of soldering.

Here's the best pic I have of my bass. I need to get back there and try to get the headstock in frame next time.

@ddeadserious: I have that tape on my RHMs. It looks great, I hope you like riding with gloves though :)

Whoa sweet. At first I was like "what bass?" haha.

ImChris 01-23-12 11:34 PM

Today I put my T1 up on Ebay / craigslist. Sad day, but with it not getting too much use in a while, it deserves to go to a good home!

jimmytango 01-24-12 01:05 AM

What kind of bass is that?

ambitions2o 01-24-12 09:57 AM

Bought a truck I have been looking for for a while - 1949 Chevy 3100. ---- Gets shipped next week.

Today I rode my damn bike. Backpacks suck. I may just try my luck with the messenger bag tomorrow, hopefully the clavicle doesn't give me too much trouble.
