I found out the river path ends right by my apartment, it continues on for maybe 10+ miles to the beach. This is good for leisurely riding with my girlfriend or on my own, but it is too congested to use right now -_-

today im feeling apprehensive about being on the team that i'm on
.
ive never been a sponsored rider on a team b4, only member of local racing oriented clubz. we are super privileged (free kits/helmets/bike to ride and unlimited Spy shades) and im feeling the pressure to get results and be on every team ride, ect. The pressure/commitment to ride and perform is getting to me.
I've got so much going on in life (work/relationship issues/stuff) that I'm not performing like I should be. A couple of my teammates (theres only 7 of us cat3s) already have earned their cat2 upgrade point but are staying around to help us, so the pressure's on me. I know from training/group rides that these guys are hardly (if at all) stronger than me, I just don't have the balls of steel or nerves that I did last year during those last few laps.
going to reg. for barrio logan and dana point atm which spurred all these sentimentz. both (esp. barrio) should be good races for me/races that i can win, and they will be if I can get my head in the game.

Truf but I think they keep a few around the shop in colors and sizes they chose themselves. I wish they'd paint their forks still to match the frame.
If you could get the option of having a 2 color paint job too I'd consider getting an aluminum bike. I think you can only do the 1 color and then multiple decal colors.
the extra color sends it to another level

Oh I see... But still I'm a still a bit iffy on low's, he seemingly popped out of nowhere and just gained popularity by giving free handouts to popular riders....
"Current lead time: about 8 months. - This is only a rough estimate. Wait times are not guaranteed! * Required"
I would've forgotten about an order by then!
Nonetheless if I were to get a custom FG, I would get it on the opposite side of the bay; a broakland pipebomb.

I don't think I would really even want a frame after 8 months of waiting. Bike purchases are always impulsive for me.

You can order LOWs without pursuit geometry. Freewheel on Hayes also has a handful of LOWs framesets for sale as well. The Bolt is definitely hot though, IMO the best colorway for the MASH. Hope I'll see you (and your new bike) at the race today

Today I'm about to head out and do some bike shopping with a friend. He wants to lose some weight, and I talking him into cycling.
He's almost as excited as I am.
$1000 dollar budget, just to see if he likes it. $3000 dollar budget after he decides he does.

Also, I disagree; chrome bikes definitely go faster than red ones.
