Thanks to the fact that the main page gives you the most recently updated threads, forum-wide, I did find out that somewhere there is a thread that is nothing but *****ing about hipsters. At which I just roll my eyes because come on, really?

Also... It automatically names your reply. I don't think you can turn it off, either.

Now I'm sitting in a chair getting a small pin-up girl on my arm for free. This artist is heavy-handed. Later, gonna do some stuff for Chicago Craft Beer Week, and maybe go see The Avengers. It's a good day.

Today I:
Received the spokes for my 930 build. Laced up the rear, spokes too long 
. Laced up the front, spokes too long by the same amount . Re-measured everything to find that my assumed ERD of 605mm (measured on previous generations of Open Pro rims) was wrong. These new Open Pros, with the black label, measure 601mm ERD using the brake cable method. Plugging 601mm into the spoke calculator gives me reasonable shorter spoke lengths. Looking at them, they look the same as the old ones, except for the labels.
Anyone else here build using these new Open Pros yet? Am I crazy?
Anyway, new spokes now on order, it's only time and money.

What's everyones opinion on buying bikes on eBay? generally safe? I'm looking at a Gios and a De Rosa, both very hot. Concerned about any cracks/damages though.
