Today, it must be around 90% humidity. Sweating balls. Although, I can't complain. Last week was in the 40's.

today I went to prolly and noticed how much LOW's welds have improved.

also talked to Adam at stanridge speed again. I get so overly excited looking at his stuff that it's hard not to drop the deposit right then and there

A Stanridge is probably going to be my next bike, whether it's road, cross or track.

Today I: rode a minidrome for the first time. The MC asked me if I had ever ridden a fixed gear bike before. "Nope! This is my first time!" trollface.jpg

Boring video, but the commentary from my friends/coworkers is pretty golden. P.s. this was at work.

You do know that this is just grinding/sanding the weld down smooth, right?

sure smoother but do you not see the scratches on the frame from an abrasive surface?

Maybe I should get myself a welder and some bicycle tubing and mismash them together into a bike (note to self: better have negative sloping top tube) and give handouts to notable street riders emi brown who's just a short drive away from me and pay off blogs like prolly & PC to feature LOTS of pictures and praise and mucho street cred for my brand image. Maybe throw some nice paint on and colorways on them too. By the time everything is hyped up and I have a following, I think I'll have had honed in my welding skills enough.

Oh yeah, overreact to the kagero's design for trademark enfringement and just for hahas make buyers wait 8+ months for delivery.
