Today I had to sit around for over an hour in the cold waiting for some idiot to come remove the bike he locked to a bike rack through my front triangle. I was not amused.

How'd you handle the conversation?

Scrodzilla 03-09-12 09:34 PM

The censor will make it unreadable. I actually kept my cool surprisingly well until he began coming across like he did nothing wrong.

Figured, I can wait 10mins, but over an hour? **** that, and him.

The worst part of it is that my bike was only locked up for about 15 minutes while I grabbed a "quick" lunch. :mad:

Anyways, today I sat on my lousy, unemployed ass and watched the entire first season of Jersey Shore on Netflix while deciding whether or not I wanted to ride. Life sucks.

Drummerboy1975 - Tell people it's a new dual sport bicycle that was just released.

I'll say its a Hybrid Throwback. It's this new fangled twist to build new bikes, but some how make them look vintage.

You definitely handled that better than I would've. Especially if he made me late for something

The guys said that the top was the worst place to do that. He told me to drill the side of the stem (neutral plane) if I was to do it. He went on to tell me that they could completely remove most of the material on the side of the stem and it would be just as strong but no one would ride it. they actually did the fatigue test on it and it performed just as well as a stock stem. Craziness.

Hmmm, now I'm amost scared to run my 160mm Tioga stem with cable stop. Maybe the steel is realness of it will protect me. :)

That 930 could be so rad with good saddle, black seatpost and headset stuff.

Oh and pedal choice.

Oh and maybe swap out that 14-32 (guess) cluster for a 13-24, or even 21 if yer he-man!

Russians are saying : "Beer without vodka - waste of money"

Try to follow - you will save a lot.

This was me like 30 nights in a row until this week.

Talking to a sqrrl right now... very confusing. Very obvious that we're both crazy about each other but she wants to "tread lightly." F'in A. Her bike is so cool. She's so cool. I wanna be cool with her.

nuhtowel 03-10-12 11:31 AM

Theres two ways that people like us can find sqrls. 1. Find a sqrl that is also addicted to bikes or 2. Make sqrl addicted to bikes.

homebrewk 03-10-12 01:10 PM

Got a ride home from a sweet sqrl. Man card redeemed!

VeloShare 03-10-12 04:01 PM

got a puncture (but it was at the end of my road, so lucky in a way)

Sqrl told me she wants to build a bike with me.


Today, I cleaned the track bike completely, and changed the fitting on my road bike a little. Much better!

Today I rode about 14 miles, half of which with 20mph headwinds. :|

It was my first ride of notable length on the Kagero and I'm really happy with the fit, just need to tilt my saddle back a hair.

Tough. Only happened to me once before and only resulted in 2 hour delay plus a business class upgrade.

My sqrl told me she wanted to put together another bike, it was arousing in the most confusing way.
