Is there a collection of gifs of just this guy doing things on a white background?

Today I visited a few LBS to look at their gumwall tire selections since the wheelset I ordered comes tomorrow. Hopefully I'll be able to try them out on the velodrome this weekend if it doesn't rain.

Not looking too good man. It's like a 90% chance of rain at 9am on Saturday.

I e-mailed Steve to see if they'll still have it though.

This makes me sad.

my girlfriend is going to pull the trigger on a bonktown TERRY it looks like, the 46cm with either the 51cm or 52cm TT (she's used to a 52.5 so that's not a big issue).

Question is, neither one of us are familiar with 650c wheels. Is the fit going to be noticabely better with them? I know we have some small dudes around here so hoping one can chime in.

Also I'm considering a cheap road bike as I've mentioned. Any reason I shouldn't pull the trigger on a cheapo like this?

basically the only sub $800 bike that doesn't make me want to pull my eyes out (black), but I have nfc about "GRAVITY"

Gross.

(Sorry.)

You can generally get a used Lemond Zurich on ebay for ~$800, and that's with a Reynolds 853 frame and full Ultegra, so . . . yea . . .

There are also aluminum frame Lemonds with cheaper components (more comparable to the Gravity) that pop up every once in awhile, if you wanted to save even more money.

Granted, prices may have fluctuated a bit now that spring has officially arrived, and I've stopped following the Lemond prices as carefully after I got myself a titanium bike with Dura Ace. :D

yeah the problem with my budget and browsing new and used is its pretty slim on the amount of frames that don't make you spit up your food. I guess I kinda liked that due to its simplicity (and hopefully removable decals). Been trying to keep my eye out for some nice used bikes as well. I don't need anything like ultegra so if I go used I'll probably dip into the $300-$400 range

Modern or vintage? C&V has oodles of bikes that are <$300, but if you're not a fan of downtube shifters or heavier steel frames, the search might be a bit more difficult.

According to Misskaz, yes. Her FG has 650s, and her CX bike has 700s. CX gets major toe-overlap. She will chime in, I'm sure.

Also...

As promised:

The bike in question is on the right. The woody is mine. He has changed gearing and crankset since that quote, but still. This is also the guy that wants to trade me his rear wheel for a post and some $$.

regular lock ring tools are better.

Hammer + screwdriver = best evar!

Yesterday, rain bike: coffee generationed.
Today, test run with free McDonald's coffee resulted in coffee cup ejection @ 25 mph. I'd need to eBay some RockShox Ruby road forks to use one of these coffee cup holders.

McD's cups are kinda fatties, though - high center of gravity.

bungy lock over the top ala a touring front bag?

Only on Opposite Day.

Got my bars in.

Stopped at the bike shop. The gloves I had ordered for my girlfriend had not arrived. But I bought some tires and they gave me some used tires (with some life in them, Conti GP's) for free. Bummed that its raining here.

my buddy's coworker used to own a bike shop and heard i was interested in a CX build (new commute is on the upper edge of our valley, out on one of the county routes).

says he's got a NOS Bianchi CX frame/fork in his shed i can -have-. in celeste.

he just has to check the size. as long as long as it's between 56 and 58, there will be squeeing and groveling...

then the real work starts. i haven't touched a derailleur since the mid-80's.

New tire! Yay! Ended up with an Armadillo because I needed it for my commute and that's the only puncture-resistant road tire they have.

Gave the Spaniards in town for the RHC a tour of Red Hook

Maybe it's just the angle, but that guy on the dosnoventa has long ass arms for that frame/stem

today I got my new saddle

Is it everything you hoped and dreamed about?

Copycat.

first ride on it will be 20 mile ride tonight. so I hope so

leuky's is angled down! am I going to get nut pain if I don't?

Sorry guys, GMJ convinced me that I am not doing it right, so I converted my fixie.

This is the end of Deputy Hairnet, you won't see me around these parts no more.

Get it dialed in before going 20 miles on it. Trust me.

New frame! New fork! No money!

dos saddle is way too forward for a frame that size.

Today the 'creator' of our friday ride wanted to lead again, of course he had something to prove and lead the thing like he was auditioning for Mash SF. I stopped at a light that was just "not worth it" for me and lost sight of them by the time it turned green. My friend and I rode another 5 miles or so before pulling over to see if we could figure out the destination, turns out there was a good 15 people behind us who finally caught up by the time we were ready to roll out again. I wanted to ***** about it, but nobody else was complaining so I resisted stirring **** up. I was so annoyed. I have a court date for a red light ticket next saturday and I ran a good 10-12 lights tonight.

I got the location, lead the rest of the group there and stopped for drinks. Rode back into my side of town with the group and then split off near my house to get on bike forums and cry about it

I should've but it was last second. I guess I did okay, no complaints.

Felt a little "warm" at first, I guess from that suede like material. I already prefer it to the rolls, which is basically my least favorite selle san marco yet.

I just found out a I had lost 20 lbs from the end of January. I dont feel very different though...

All you bastards jinxed me.
Today I got sqrl'd. Not the good kind of getting sqrl'd either.

Decapitated that poor guy.
