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)

7 Psychos looks like a good stay at home and watch with a beer movie. I'm looking forward to watching Skyfall.

Today I found a MW Sanction on CL for $65. It's the old model without the fold-over opening, but still a good deal.

Hopefully the seller gets back to me.

Not too long ago, i messed up the FD on the paramount... It also twisted around, stripping some paint off the seat tube.

One ruined derailleur. One ugly paint blemish on a pretty much pristine bike.

True. Forgot about that since I use the chain method.

Also, today I am dealing with an annoying eBay customer claiming I sold them a damaged item under false pretenses.

I checked and rechecked that thing before sending it and it was just fine. I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt, just in case the item got damaged during transport, and told him I'd consider refunding him IF he sent it back for inspection.


He doesn't want to send it back. Just wants me to give him back the money based on some pictures he took. For all I know HE messed it up himself and now wants a free pass.


I catch people trying to pull this **** all the time at one of my jobs. So ****ing annoying. Maybe it's made me more sensitive and paranoid about it, but yeah... I'm not buying it.

Annnnnd... I was expecting my DA 7710 crankset and a wheelset to arrive by yesterday, at the latest.

Today I found out that, after a week of having paid for it, it hasn't even been shipped.

Today I:

- Rode to work to take care of something. Wasn't thinking and took the beach path, which is always a huge mistake on the weekend.

- Cut my arm on a wooden fence, deep enough to see the fat. Gross.

- Fell asleep in the middle of the day watching Unsolved Mysteries episodes on Youtube.



I love Saturdays.

Nice! A few friends of mine went to see them tonight. Sounded like a really good time.

What part of MI, and what beers?


And tonight I partied. Some of pleebs and mids from the Naval Academy were still in town, and they stopped by. Then a cop showed up right across the street for something completely unrelated to us, and scared about half of the people away. Still a pretty decent night in all.

I hate this period when the days start later, but the clocks haven't moved back yet.
