Bike Forums - Today I:

Here is what they shipped two tires in. Literally only thing in the box was two tires and 78 feet of butcher paper. Small annoying ass dog for size reference. This shipped for free from Kentucky, 2nd day air UPS, on a 33 dollar purchase.

78 feet of butcher paper. I measure because I was so shocked.

This is how you ship your tires, right Scrod?

Amazon did this to me too. Both times I've ever ordered a non - folding tire from them.

Today I checked my fedex shipping tracker for my shoes. Originally said it would be here Saturday, Now says next Tuesday. The package is already in Michigan for christ's sakes. Hopefully that thing is wrong, and I'll get them this week. Really excited.

I could have gone shinier but it would have taken like a half hour. This'll do for now.

Today I wound up commuting in, and have a bad feeling a new frame might be in the future.

Awesome! Which program was it? I know there is a place in Oakland (I think) that has a frame building class. You have to take two prerequisite welding classes, though.

Not if you're attached to the frame being replaced.

Not when you really like the frame you have, I feel sick let's just say I had to repair the drive side dropout.
Don't know how it happened.
It should be ok, was the first time that has happened to it, and you're generally good for a couple of times.

The 930 is a goner?

It's still ticking, I was able to repair it at work, and held up without the wheel slipping on the ride home.

Today I CX tired the Silver Bullet. That bike's so tall now I can't reach the ground.

I'm certain I've got it resolved, and am not as worried.

Hooray for that. Any idea how many miles you've put that thing through since buying it?

I'm going through Tim Sanner in PaloAlto. This is basically testing the waters to see if I want to get serious about it.

Today I celebrated the purchase of a new (to me) Caad 10 by accepting a full time job offer at a start up based in Mountain View. Starting pay is about 12k more than I make a year currently and they're giving me stock options/full benefits. Today was a good day.
