My route is pretty much a straight shot with little to no traffic in the morning depending on what time I start riding. The only time I stop is for a red light, switching from 48/16 to 42/17 was a big difference and definitely easier on my legs lol.

Nice; that's a huge difference! I just switched from 46/16 to 46/17 and I think it's perfect, now. I can't imagine going downhill with any lower of a gear than this... 42/17 sounds really low.

I just can't help it but <3 my sqrl
She was flipping through it as I came in back from work and I had to backtrack and take a closer look at the cover of what she was reading.

On the other hand, how does she know about this? :eek:

Anyhow, just flipping through it and skimming some of the more relative sections to me, this is a must read for anyone who owns a cinelli. :thumb:

Yeah 42/17 is pretty low but I'm on a ss, thinking about switching to fg but I have never been on a fg before so I'm a little intimated by not being able to coast downhill lol.

I've only been riding fixed for a couple months, you will probably scare yourself a couple times the first couple days by trying to coast, but it's not hard to pick up at all. Definitely recommend trying it for a couple days at least, see if you like it. I love it for commuting.

woke up to a tick buried in my thigh, then proceeded to have a stick snap off the bottom of my front fender.

but, saw "Looper" and it was much better than i expected.

i'll call it break even.

Totally overreacted to a security guy on the corner of some construction site that overlaps the bike lane. He basically told me that maybe I should ride on the sidewalk on the other side, but I was all in "mash home" mode and must have come off as a defensive a-hole. I wonder how we all get affected as riders because of all the crap that we have to deal with just to bike.

Today I returned home from Pa.

Today, I heard about my friend getting hit by a car. She is ok with no broken bones, only some bruises. Unfortunately her bike is SOL. Frame and fork are bent and the front wheel taco'ed.

I hate hearing about these. Feel like there have been some many this year.

Today i found out i never greased my seatpost binder bolt

went to testfit the aquarack that came in the mail and it snapped in half. Sweet.

Been thinking about this one for a while now- Is there anything in there about the Mountain bikes from right around 1990? I have an ottomila that I can't find much info about.

My route of one of my rides.

I know what I'm doing at lunch tomorrow

today I took advantage of this 70 degree weather and went for a quite ride before homework time. first time going for more than 5mi in about 5 weeks, it made me all happy inside.

and now my legs remember those sprints I ran this afternoon :(

Whereabouts in Ohio?

oxford, I go to MU. been up to columbus for the 4th past two years though, great city

EVERYTHING cinelli is in it thanks to the author working so closely with the head honcho of cinelliXcolumbus. I'm even surprised to find the most recent DVS vigorelli shoes in it, as well as the red hook crit. & bolt, histogram...
Yes there is a section about 40+ pages long right before the vigorelli, MASH, laser, track/ fixed gear etc section toward the back.
This book is basically what you expect from an art book, high quality print and paper accompanied with description/ narration w/ /by insider insight. If you're looking for technical things this is not the place to look. But, if you need stock/ identification pictures/ pictures of cinelli stuff, this is the book to have.

not to belittle the awesomeness of your woman, but ive seen some buzz about this book on a few non-cycling blogs lately

to clarify it was the binder bolt that snapped, not the aquarack. shouldve worded that better
but im sure you figured that out

That explains it; fashion blogs.
No harm done, it's the thought that counts. :)

That's crazy.

Today I'm 21! Finally.

You're far too sober right now, what with the proper punctuation and all. Do something about that.

Happy birthday.

After class. I have an exam to take, and an acting class thats sort of important.

I didnt even get drunk on my 21st, i was "over" drinking about a year before

I did share some johnny walker blue with my buddy though which was good, an i dont even like scotch

tomorrow is my birthday.. which will be spent at work.
