I love FSA headsets though.

Today I looked in my closet and found at least $500 worth of things I have no attachment to.

I also fell in love with the vigorelli again <3

Am I the only one that feels weird looking at a track bike with knobby tires?

Sherblock 02-15-12 07:49 PM

It's definitely weird, but I have a strange attraction to that bike.

PluperfectArson 02-15-12 07:51 PM

I feel like I have seen that same bike a long time ago or a similar Vig set up like that, and I love the hell out of it every time.

no

Honestly, I do not understand the attraction to cinelli. Especially ones that are not ridden on the track. Actually any track bike ridden off the track, for purposes other than training, baffles me. A track bike with knobby tires? That would be the wrong geometry for anything ridden where knobby tires are necessary. But if you ONLY had a track bike, and switched wheels/cog/chain for different terrain I suppose I could jive with that.

I'm amazed those tires even fit

Carbon faceplates make things fancy. I'm sure of it.

Darn weather... I'm experiencing what you guys in norcal did earlier this week. Seriously, today what began as a sunny and warm day turned into a rainstorm. Adding insult to injury it let up temporarily when I got back. Tomorrow is going to be no better.

Sherblock 02-15-12 09:02 PM

It's super super windy here. Sucks. I wish we had more rain in NorCal.

My roommate just gave me two bottles of scotch, one Glenlivet, one Dalwhinnie.

I have never had Dalwhinnie, but I ****ing love Glenlivet.

jdgesus 02-15-12 09:25 PM

try to find some ardbeg if you like to taste the peat!

Today I:

Woke up in South Lake Tahoe to this:

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-u...215_091139.jpg

Drove to get a rental board (I am buying my own at the end of the season). Friend/coworker in the pic:

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-I...215_092830.jpg

The snow was AMAZING. Unfortunately, the visibility wasn't. Group pic (me, friend/coworker, brother; from left to right)

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-4...215_134250.jpg

This was at the base of the run, where visibility was GOOD:

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-0...215_134307.jpg

Seriously it was like a white-out on most of the runs after about 12pm.

Tomorrow should be much more clear, with the same quality snow :D WOOT!

Sherblock 02-15-12 09:41 PM

What resort? Northstar?

Jaytron 02-15-12 09:43 PM

Today I was sad because my tax return never came in. Blasted IRS.

I would kill a small child to ride that powder. **** you and your WRX wagon (yellow is my favorite color, and WRX wagons are my favorite car), and your incredible snowfall. I am jealous.

ddeadserious 02-15-12 10:40 PM

YOU HAVE A YELLOW SUBARU. I love it.

That's actually a really nice stem and it weighs practically nothing. Good score ddead!

ddeadserious 02-15-12 11:45 PM

Thanks, ended up snagging it for $30! I noticed PlattsVegas was kind of ****ting everywhere tonight, so I didn't take it personally.:lol:

TOday my Camry's battery ****ed me over at midnight. Had to get a tow truck to tow it over to a shop. At least the guy gave me a free ride home. Woot woot.
