Prices per Upgrade converted from UK Pounds to US Dollars via google:
Ellipses: 475.14
Sugino 75's: 125.79
Sugino SuperLap BB: 99.37
3T Scatto's: 258.39
San Marco Zoncolan: 86.13
Dura Ace pedals: 225.27

I doubt it.

well under msrp...

^damn, they need to sell me the zoncolan for $86

today I am missing another group ride because of work.

between classes and work the only rides I seem to get are when I wake up early by mistake or during my commute. so bitter

Today I presented at a exhibition for undergraduate research. It was kind of frustrating because when I looked around I saw all of these posters outlining research projects that are obviously performed alongside a graduate student, but are claiming all of the data is their own.

get used to it

your job is to collect the data, possibly even interpret it, under the guidance and direction of said grad student/research advisor.
i have a similar role, but in the industry instead of academia.

only after I complete graduate school some day and return to the industry will I get the opportunity to tell people what to do and then put my name on it.
I look forward to that day.

You have to factor in the cost of the part you are replacing with the upgrade.

I hope to be the same way with art. Like Rubens and now Damien Hurst or Thomas Kinkade. Forget painting, just put my name on it and charge $10,000.

That is quite the conversion rate.

I admittedly live under a rock and know basically nothing about Dolan bikes. The bikes look okay but not super drool worthy to me. Can someone explain?

yeah, a kilometer is a hair under 16miles.

Just solid bike, with solid components, for a solid price.

Dad just brought home fujifilm x100 black. So awesome.

When you bring your face up to the viewfinder it shuts the screen off and the viewfinder becomes the screen, and after a photo it shows you the photo in the viewfinder. It's amazing.

Is it now?





I think he meant 3,400 ft of climbing over 54 miles

Let me rephrase... 3400 ft climbed, 54miles.

Dannihilator 04-11-12 07:39 PM

Today I had a fun 50 mile ride, same planned for tomorrow.

gigantor 04-11-12 08:03 PM

Today my girlfriend and I celebrated our 5th anniversary, which strangely coincides with her birthday.

I made her my special meat loaf (the food), and lobster mac and cheese. I also bought her some sort of Louis Vuitton cosmetic pouch.

Now we are going to watch Jimmy Neutron.

Totally thought you had misplaced a decimal point.

Blech. To each their own, I suppose.

Haha, I wonder why this doesn't surprise me . . .

Santaria 04-11-12 08:58 PM

Convinced a friend of mine to get up at 6 a.m. to do a 50 miler before I have to be in class tomorrow; fun times will be had by all. Going to slam my stem and move my stack above it to see how it rides, probably some steerer cutting going to take place soonish. Six spacers has been annoying me and I think the stem will work fine when I put a Nitto Noodle on the same stem later this month.

cc700 04-11-12 09:31 PM

got a swrve wool cycling cap. it's houndstooth in gray black and goldenrod.

so ****ing dapper up in this *****

ddeadserious 04-11-12 09:32 PM

Today, I went to REI, drooled over a clip less setup. Went home, sat for 5 minutes, and drove back to REI and impulse purchased my first clipless setup.

Congrats.

...saw Mastodon at the Roseland Ballroom. If you've never seen Mastodon you lose. Oh, and I rode my bike at some point, too.

I ****ing love Mastodon. Saw them a few years ago with Converge, Madball, and Dethklok (yes, the cartoon band). Amazing show.

Today I put in about 50 miles solo because I was bored. I may just do it again tomorrow.

cc700 04-11-12 09:47 PM

I saw them at the Roseland theater in nov. god what a show

MADBALL??!!! Wow. I havent seen them since CBGBs still existed. When I saw that Dethklok/Masto tour it was High on Fire instead of Madball. Dethklok was surprisingly good.

This show had Opeth and Ghost opening. Meh.
