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?

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

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

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

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.

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.....

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.

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.
