I bought a gold k710 SL but it did not have enough links :wtf: ok, so I took a link from the previous K710 to make up and now all is well, but still :-/

K710s only have 100 links, not enough for my bike either. Need to run 32 x 12 or something like that.

TIL: my bike has 101 links

Today I bought Cards Against Humanity and both expansions.

It finally restocked.

Today I worked on the bike with the best cockpit. Too bad the compass plastic is so clouded.

LOL, that's priceless. My brother works for Boeing, I wonder if you guys would have crossed paths at all.

I worked at Boeing up in Everett this summer. Where's he located?

Fairly sure you can get k710sl's in 114 links.

got my first choice dinner reservation for my 15th wedding anniversary on Thursday.

had a hurry-up and wait day at work that didn't pan out. but now there is the likelihood of overtime tomorrow due to bigwigs slacking today...$$$.

ordered fenders (SKS Longboards) for the winter commuter.

I've got some spare 710 links if you need 'em.

Today I drove home from Pa and managed to get a street ride in between the storms.

He's been doing contract work remotely for a couple years, but he was in Everett until 2009 or 2010.

Cool! I don't need to go through another 25" frame again.

Lowend aero with rack is where it's at.

Why does that wheel have a spoke protector

seau grateau 09-18-12 07:52 PM

Rode 20something miles. Not sure exactly, paused Strava at 18 and forgot to restart it. The reason I stopped at 18 is that my 721 seems to turn into a torture rack on rides longer than 15mi and it sucks hard. Thinking of selling as soon as I get back to my other bikes, or get them to me.

RGNY 09-18-12 08:19 PM

had the joy of cleaning the thick sticky remains of a choco-mocha-coolata thing off the Nature Boy. probably my messiest roadside encounter to date. even roadkill skunk goo wasn't that bad. more smell, but less coverage. yay, Simple Green.....

Nagrom_ 09-18-12 09:14 PM

Today I laced up the matching front wheel for the Kilo, essentially completing the bike.... ); Also got my new camera in the mail.

Made a seriously boss steak and cheese sandwich to ease my frustrations and homesickness. Can't call it a cheese steak, but it'll do until I find my way back to the real thing.

Mumonkan 09-18-12 10:46 PM

got my mtb back from friend loan

Leukybear 09-18-12 10:58 PM

Today I got a vip tour of a airplane factory on the house. The 787 = so much carbon and probably the only aeronautical relative of a chinarello considering how it's a plethora of outsourced carbon.
