unpossible!

was a hard life when i was trying to balance school/bike/gf/social life. Sometimes it's good to be single. Sometimes.

Thank you sir.

This one doesn't seem so needy. She's the one who told me to go out and ride last night. Should be goodman.

She's reeling you in. None of them seem needy at first...

So I finally realized the noise that I thought my SRAM chainring was making was actually my GXP. Meticulously repacked it and now it's buttery smooth. Fingers crossed. Gonna go drink some beer.

got the '05 Ridley Crossbow frameset in the mail.

once the swap is done, i think i'm going to build up the current as a SSCX.

one steel, one aluminum fixed; one steel, one aluminum CX commuter. sounds about right....

Nagrom_ 06-15-12 09:02 PM

I might be picking up a DA crankset tonight... 7710, with BB and a ??t chainring....

$150

EDIT: seller responded, I'm in. trying to figure out the tooth count.

That's not horrible, once you fully upgrade the kilo, what frame are you going to buy to put the old parts on

Not horrible? It's amazing.

But yeah, regarding the frame... I have no idea. I wont upgrade until I feel the need, and at that point, its truly between a Tiemeyer, and a Stanridge...

leaning towards the Tiemeyer.

not ANY time soon though.

Nagrom_ 06-15-12 09:19 PM

SH*T

it's a 45t....

still going for it.

FakeFuji 06-15-12 09:22 PM

You can run a smaller cog which usually are on sale cause people can't push a 14t on their sw8 fixay

My thoughts. Trying to figure out arm length now.

If this goes through, and these arent 175's. or 180's, Im happy.

My kitchen peaked at 130 degrees, two coolers broke, the ice machine is still down, our sewer started backing up, I have a headache, and I just found out that we have a thief on staff. Today is frustrating as hell. The highlight will likely be the bike ride home.

Today(yesterday) I nearly crushed my right shoulder with a 70 year old steel roller while building at the pumptrack after losing my footing and falling.

Sixty Fiver 06-15-12 10:26 PM

Taking a well much needed beer break... am building up my folder tonight and won't sleep until it's done.

Should be a 3 beer minimum on the build.

Nagrom_ 06-16-12 12:11 AM

Just got back.... I hate craigslist. I asked the guy several times for the measurements. 170mm, 45t, 1/8, 144bcd.

I get there. It's a road double crank, missing the second chainring...........

TheRealFaux 06-16-12 12:27 AM

Trololololol, too good to be true for $150. On a related note, my friend uses 144bcd Suntour Superbe Pro road double cranks for his fixed gear. I understand the need for that NJS stamp though haha.
