Today I went on a quick bike ride to Little Tokyo to grab some frozen yogurt with my sister. The hills on 1st Street and Temple are killer.

LBS replaced my defective Gatorskin. Also, talked to the athletic department at my community college about starting a cycling rec club. Then I worked for 7 hours.

Spent some quality time with my wife on a beautiful san diego day. Open top ride by/ to the beach/ downtown la jolla; lunch at lucha libre taco shop; shopping at fashion valley. Nearly had the day ruined when the tire pressure monitor went off for a flat mid-day, avoiding freeways and cruising roads proved to be fun especially when you have a flashy convertible; I got my money's worth for my run flat tires. Transformers 3 tonight and tire repair tomorrow morning.

I took off my fenders and went out to buy some incense but I went for a 20m ride with my bag+lock instead and it was ****ing great.

Squirrelli 07-02-11 10:08 PM

That's gross. What posessed you to think, "hmmm...I should post this bit information to bike forums for all to enjoy."?

Well, I was sitting there thinking, "hmm...I can't leave the house today, but still want to do some daily good Samaritan work..." and so long story short, I came here and decided it would be a good deed to inform people about my bodily functions! :D

Anyways, I guess I came down with something...really lamex10/

Dannihilator 07-03-11 08:06 PM

More work today @ the pumptrack. Planning on a long road ride tomorrow.

"I have a stomach thing that kept me in the house all day." would have sufficed :)

carleton 07-03-11 08:46 PM

I lounged around all day. Too hot to ride.

I just pressed some coffee. Loading up Arrested Development on Netflix. About to ride the trainer for an hour or two.

I felt going into at least slight detail was much more polite.

Leukybear 07-03-11 09:06 PM

I passed up a $150 650c front spin trispoke at the LBS today. Good or bad?

carleton 07-03-11 09:06 PM

On Friday I rode a 500M time that was 0.05" faster than the Elite Women's National Championship time.




...now I gotta find a good surgeon who can keep a secret.

Today I:

Received a beautiful front rack (Made by a fellow forum member) and shortened syntac stratos... if only I could figure out what to do with the setup (on the hunt for an Eno Eccentric hub for the C'Dale or perhaps a cheap frame lacking in the fork department.

Still need to get some fork mounting hardware, but its looking great!

I think it's time for that vintage conversion of yours. :thumb:

Any good idea's? I have a few up my sleeve as far as the final big picture, but I just don't know what to base it off... Part of me wants to find the cheapest frame I can (under $50), another says to get an Eno hub for the C'Dale and not even paint it...

If only a certain someones new frame was 1"

What would be nice would be getting vintage frame in the middle ground of price (no colnago's or schwinn varsity's); a 80's mid range peugeot would be nice, preferably with the peugeot rainbow and checked flag behind the logo. Honey brooks and grips/ bar tape; silver components and box sections (tb14's).

Or I have a fun idea being a cdale track owner... strip the rest of the paint off the cdale and have a shop paint/ replicate it cdale glacier blue and I'm pretty sure you have the capacity for the vinyl decals. Profit? But that rack would not belong.
