Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

That's NateRod's Paramount. If I was taller I'd have been all over it. It's pretty much perfect in every way.

today ben from Cinelli USA got in contact with me to ship my Mash back to them for evaluation. was told it 'should be fine' but they want to look at it anyway. there's got to be a better way than having me lose the frame for 2 weeks

I asked if I could take it to our cinelli dealer in Houston for an evaluation instead, hopefully I hear what I want

I just taught my wife how to ride a bike.



She was digging the Globe Roll 1. Good times.

In other news, dude at the shop told me that he'd sell me the last 62cm Steamroller frameset they have at cost just to get it out of his shop. Payday is Friday, but I have bills and I promised my wife she could get the next bike. But frameset doesn't equal bike, right?

I ordered a Nashbar Carbon fork for my 722ts build and sent back the Chrome Leader S803 fork (it felt like it weighed as much as the frame)

I dunno man... It's my size and it's nice. I could (in theory) swap all of my components over to the new frame without buying anything other than a couple tools.

two hour cruise around town with about 20 folks from the local co-op/collective/bike cult. quick pint afterwards.

have to put in five hours tomorrow, then i'm off until next Monday.

looking forward to: fireworks, finishing -two- builds, riding with the wife and going to the movies.

not looking forward to: cutting down a stand of saplings, clearing brush and weeding the garden.

Today Angie and I ultimately decided that we will most likely move to somewhere in southern California relatively soon. We set a one-year goal (and are very good at sticking to our goals). Retrogression West, FTW.

I also decided that I need to start another band. I don't miss the grind of being on tour all the time but I do get a craving for making heavy music, recording and playing live occasionally. I recently bought a well-played '62 Fender Jaguar from a semi-famous friend of ours and it seems to be possessed by extremely creative/mischievous demons so anything can happen.
