^please tell me its attached with pieces from an erector set!

today i did this and determined that i hate brakes (my only experience being with caliper brakes), i dont have the patience to adjust them and get them to bite evenly

that being said, im seriously debating riding this thing to work tomorrow, risers are kindof fun in a not-so-srs way

yeah tbh it depends on the location you work at. big flagship stores are the ones that sell out due to huge lines. Our store did well today and still had phones when i left my shift 11 hours later.


and a lot of what you guys said is true i just wont repeat it. RGNY said it best you have to always be looking over your shoulder.

Took three hours and fabricated a swing bike out of garbage Next Mtb and a huffy. Guessed geometry and came out almost impossible, yet fun to ride.

The nights y'all had/are having sound way better than mine. The shop was me and a salesman from noon to eight cuz people were either sick or out of town, it was busy as ****, and tomorrow will be much the same. By myself in the shop, open to close, with two people on the floor. Sunday will be rad though. Doing the North Shore Century with some friends, and I'll probably be the only dumbass out there on a fixed gear.

Edit: If tomorrow is as windy as today is, I may bow out of the century. ****ing hell.

I know, right? Pretty lame. Hopefully there'll be lots and lots of app updates soon. LTE is pretty sweet though. I'm on Verizon and d/l's are at least twice as fast for me as they were on 3G. I can actually use iTunes match w/o a wifi connection now. And I was able to keep my $30/month unlimited data plan (for now, at least).

...am dialing in cantis, dropping the carrier. "Scotty, i need more power!"

The point was that there was no need to camp out or wait in line for hours to buy one. Just like today at the mall. No line, no wait for an iPhone 5.

Jerk.

CJWIZVRDGVNG 09-22-12 01:15 PM

that alone makes me not want to get an iphone 5

misskaz 09-22-12 01:26 PM

TIL that hats look weird on me now that I have short hair. This makes me sad. I have so many cute winter hats.

Today I did a 50 mile ride for a fundraiser and finished in 2'45". I was pretty up and down through woods and along lakes and rivers and lots of fun. Was the only person who did it fixed where most everyone else was riding nice carbon road bikes. Oh, and is my time decent comparatively? I thought I did pretty well

Muffin Man 09-22-12 03:08 PM

what is letterboxing?

striknein 09-22-12 03:14 PM

Something ******bag iPhone 5 owners are complaining about because they bought a phone that's been out for a day and there aren't many new apps for.

jdgesus 09-22-12 04:02 PM
