:(

Well, I've broken both clavicles within the last 6 months of each other. I'm still just waiting on this one to heal, and I'm just tired of waiting around; not even being able to do things I would be able to do normally because my left arm is useless.

Take yo calcium!

came home to find a box w/ four tubes w/ stems long enough for the B43's. :)

new pushup routine today. did the old "deck of cards". shuffle, flip a card and do that many pushups. A=11, K/Q/J=10, rest at face value and Joker=draw two. surprised myself by doing the whole deck in about 30min. comes out to 380 pushups.


and of course, the Joker is some fixie-hipster with an ironic beard/moustache:

im gonna give this a try, sounds fun...

Ironic left-hand drivetrain, too!

Totally. Trust fund cash can accomplish all sorts of things. :)

Today I did measurements, used the competitive cyclist fit calculator, then slid my saddle all the way back (on a setback post) and threw on a 120mm stem.

Long story short, my frame is too small for me.

I have a 160mm quill 25.4 clamp +5° (ish) if you're interested.... :)

Today I should be on my way down to Portland to get some cheepo road tires @ Performance but I'm just not in the mood.

you had me at 120mm stem

Yeah I can see my front hub clearly with a 90mm stem when I'm in "hoods" position, and I've thought about moving my saddle back and grabbing a 100mm stem. Maybe it'll take really long rides, several times a week, for me to notice it's too small. Though it being comfortable sure makes wanting to change anything hard.

First world problems.

I wish TT was my grampa. Seriously.

Not making light of hamfoh's troubles, I just want a track racing old man that speaks internet as a relative.

Today I had a good road ride same planned for tomorrow.

Is yours the 50cm?

All the way down to my neck of the woods eh? Sounds like a good idea!

Today I: Rode the Stop Cycles E.t.A roughly 12 miles, and I am absolutely in love with this beast!

riding 55. probably could've gone 58

okay, I mistook you for someone else on here. I'm about to ready to upgrade to a new frame from this relatively inexpensive one, so I don't feel too bad about it not fitting. MASH's probably sell really well though, if you end up having to go that route. But if it's comfortable, it's comfortable.

Today I went for a thirty mile bike ride and came to terms with the fact that my frame is a bit too small for me :( anyone interested in a black 58 cm Cinelli super pista...?

gimme

I want it. I ride a 58, but it's actually a size too small, so I guess not.

Experienced runner's high for the first time tonight while riding. It has only been about four years since I started riding and last ran. Came across one of the fast night rides and saw my friend so I decided to hang on since we were going in the same direction. Stopped at 7/11 because I was craving something sweet and ended up with toffee peanuts and a brownie. Reporting in with one of the beers my girlfriend's mother gave me for Christmas.

Today I shaved off about a years worth of beard... Feels naked man...

Today I got in around 15 miles, went to a pop-up dinner for chicken and waffles but they were out, went to a bar to do karaoke, sang Buzzcocks and Queen, came home buzzed, and annoyed my wife by blasting Ass Baboons From Venus and Melt-Banana. If you don't know them, they're experimental Japanese noise-punk weirdness. Look them up.

I used to run alot too.

What I find is that I only get the same effect with a continuous, intense effort. The problem with cycling and "runners" high is that things like traffic and terrain interrupt longer efforts.

Have you ever done a tt or something similar? For me a set of 2x20's on the trainer before work does the trick every time, provided that I can complete them in a HR zone that has me cussing and counting.

Today is my 4th day riding fixed, and I don't think I'll flip the hub back around, I'm enjoying it. However, 2 observations:

1) I must've used my freewheel much more than I thought, because I'm getting tired on rides that normally didn't tire me.

2) Riding fixed has definitely identified some bike fit issues that never showed up will riding with the freewheel. Time to do some tinkering.
