I have no idea what I want to do with my life.

I feel like a calculator.

I actually have a pretty good idea what I want to do after I finally graduate. Which is great, because I have friends graduating real soon, or who already have, and even they're not 100% whats going on.

I have tickets to their show tonight, also. I'm excited.

I'm super jealous! They came over to Aus and played a big festival called Falls over new years but I couldn't make it there because of work. From what i've heard they were pretty awesome!!

But seriously.... It's gonna be an actual beater. I was gonna get a cheap ****ty road bike, but figured it could serve two purposes. Got some sweet trails around here.

Nagrom_ 02-06-13 10:03 PM

Look at this mean machine:

ddeadserious 02-06-13 10:05 PM

I'd mess with it.

I'd also spend wayyyyy too much money on it.

Nagrom_ 02-06-13 10:07 PM

I'm just gonna pull the shifty bits, add drop bars and call it a day.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

Same school of thought as load bearing decals. MTB discussion forum jargon. Santa Cruz Bicycles had a powdercoat color option called rootbeer that they had for select frames, hence the does it come in rootbeer... Anything overbuilt that gets posted someone will say Looks flexy and some one else would follow by asking if it comes in rootbeer.

Nagrom_ 02-06-13 10:33 PM

good to know, hahaha.

Jaytron 02-06-13 11:04 PM

My 722 started off as a sw8 beater.

It'll get there eventually.

GENESTARWIND 02-06-13 11:08 PM

today i am fixed gear again, even though i dont have straps or clips it is definitely good to be back :) went out and played around. even did a track stand again and stopped without the brakes, SOOOOOOOOO GOOD. Until my pedals get here im running without foot retention but ive two brakes and i work about 1.5 miles from my apt so being careful i believe ill be fine.

Drop bar MTBs rule. I had to 700c my Team Marin cuz one of rear canti studs has piece of brake arm sleeve stuck on it. Laced Mavic MA rim to LX hub for my rear wheel. Hoping to free up that canti stud some day...

At least it was positive.

Lady in front of the Chinese spot:
"How old is he?" (Referring to my dog)
"4"
"He looks like a good boy"
That was as I am practically choking him to pull him away from a chicken bone he's trying to pick up.
People are weird.

Why do you have two stems on that bike? Maybe you could mount a handlebar bag, or something.

Today, my tax return came in. Now I will send half of my monies to Scrod and the other half to QBP.
