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)

rode across town to help with the collective/co-op yard sale so they can pay the rent.

got the first payment from the buyer of my geared CX bike.

made the mistake of spotting a vintage Colnago roadie on Ebay. *sigh* money come....money go....

I found out today that I can get a Fuji Altamira 2.0 and a Fuji Betsy (wife bike) together for under $2000. Man, I do love employee discounts.

I wish. Not a Surly dealer though.

Just realized that the Altamira doesn't come in my size. Gran Fondo 2.0 it is.

Today my work friends have an extra ticket to a Lollapalooza aftershow so I'm going to see Jane's Addiction. Don't really care about them anymore but the ticket's only $15 and it's not far from me, so why not?

I heard they got Stumptown coffee out at the Loller. Tasty brew, that.

Bikes: Click on the #YOLO

Fixed up some bikes for a local antique dealer. Got 99% done with this jamis full suspension before I noticed the chainstay was about to break in half. That's after it got a new chain, cables, wheels trued and bearings repacked. That and 5 more bikes netted me a benjamin and a ton of momentum that carried over to flipper projects of my own that have been stagnating in the garage.

Today was a good day.

Today I drank beer, went wakeboarding with my brother, then he took me to a beer garden to treat me to a fancy six pack since I rocked my GRE. I'm going to be all sorts of beat tomorrow.

Yep! They played there on Thursday.

Could make the drive to Cleveland tomorrow if you're feeling ambitious.

I can't understand how the bibs are so comfy.

How would you compare the bib to Castelli's? It would be perfect if you've sported the body art or free aero derivatives. (I remember you were sporting a set in your fit vs unfit comparison of yourself)
I really want to pull the trigger on a pair to widen the wardrobe but the price makes me hesitant to do some toe dipping with a pair without trying them on in person. No dealers around here and I don't head back to the bay until Christmas.

Just got home from the show. The sound at the Aragon is terrible; otherwise it was great! Franz Ferdinand opened, and Perry is ever the amazing front man/entertainer. He's obviously bat**** insane, but a good entertainer.

How is Franz live? I haven't gotten to see them yet. I've been to a few shows at The Aragon. Sound isn't that bad. Congress has much, much worse sound.
