Rode it home and took every bad tyre killing road I could think of and rode them at speed... potholes that would kill cars don't even bother the Pug.
Will need to set up my second / front drive cog with a little higher gear as I was spinning it out on the flats way to easily... it is set up as a 3 by 1 right now.

Went to the in-laws to hang some blinds/curtains. On the way home, passed this on the highway:

Guys, "To Live and Ride in LA" is on Netflix Instant. It's so incredibly ****ing stupid. I'll type my thoughts as I watch it.
- In one scene a guy gets cheers for jumping his bike off 3 stairs. SO IMPRESSIVE
- One guy rides his bike on a freeway.
- Another does something horrible to his knee after bring to jump his bike off 3-5 stairs.
- They also smoke copious amounts of PBR, and smoke constantly. I'm cool, right?
- Did I mention riding on the freeway already? It's pretty cool, so far this is the second scene. SO COOL
- NO BRAKES. NO HELMET. NO SAFETY CONCERNS.
- Guys, 650cc wheel guy is here. To save the day. And do barspins.
- "Are we fixed gears" "Yeah, we're all BRAKELESS fixed gears" "Ah ****, man" "Yeah, we don't take no shortcuts"
- That guy just did a skid so sw8 that his tire blew off some smoke.
- It just happened again.
- What are these weird bends on my bars? Should I be using them, or just clenching the flat part near the stem?
- Hills, man, why!
- "Spinning spokes and telling jokes with good folks, thats how we do it"
- The Pabst is here.
- 650cc wheel guy is back again, just with a different bike - don't worry, it's still got his 'signature' front wheel. I think he's the star.
- 650cc guy is dead.
- Not really. He is alive and well.
- "We will be cutting lights, we will be bonking traffic"
- Wolfpack hustle requires helmets I think, lol
- "We're gonna try to keep it safe but keep it dangerous at the same time"
- Somehow they got a helicopter.
- "We were making a bunch of cars stop, but it was good"
- They just buried some poor kids bike at the beach. Great idea, or greatest idea?
- "Yo I've never been on a track, that'd be sweet" -650cc Wheel Guy
- I can't tell if they actually just broke into the velodrome. I think not.
- Definitely not.
- Flipping off cameras is the coolest. I am so cool.
- ITS OVER. THANK BASED GOD.
Watch it.
But not really.
Really though, don't.
I'm serious this time, really, I mean it.
Please?

Also, today I popped Jandro's velodrome cherry
Had tons of fun, I got him from a 14.75 F200m to a 13.8 just with some protips. I did... awkwardly... New gear ratio and I couldn't find the timing I needed for F200M and ended up getting a 13.38 for the day. It was a bit windy too, maybe that's why.
THEN when the session was over, we did some "dueling" with me leading for an 200m, and then him leading for the next. Ended up in a tie, we couldn't pass each other. I got close, and he wouldn't let me have it. We dug real deep and ended up shouting manly roars of defiance as we came to the finish line. I think we freaked out some of the bystanders.

Thought this was pretty impressive for a 3 year old camera phone-

that was the plan, the pink is so fluorecent thought I'm not sure it'll match the cinelli cork tape I have (pink).
might go all black since it has nice pink decals
full shimano 105. actually didn't even haggle the guy after taking it for a test ride, just really enjoyed it. didn't feel like aluminum.
might've overpaid considering it is 20+ years old now, but he tossed in some LOOK pedals and a cateye watch with heart rate monitor... which I'll take off and sell
he lowered the seat for me, which made me feel like my mom on the bike, but I sure do love me some hoods

All of which have been (fortunately?) too big for me, because he has quite the collection, and I have been sorely tempted by multiples items (the chrome Paramounts included).
