Something tells me the MTB section at Retrobike.co.uk would be the place to ask about that.

Spider looks close to IRD/Breezer cranks in this slideshow but those had crmo arms and the ones on the Trek look alu.

Going for a ride in a bit and going to freeze my butt off. I don't have my proper winter gear yet!!!

Yesterday my sqrlfriend and I made our pilgrimage to to the only Starbucks in Costa Rica. 2 busses and 1 taxi and 1 pirate taxi later, we have coffee :)

Don't they have badass local coffee stands? I've never been to CR but all the Caribbean islands I've been to have strong shots for sale all over.

Dude, watch out, man. Pirate taxis sound dangerous! :lol:

Today i learned the fun way that thanks to a hurricane my route to school/job 2 is now a cx race
2 barrier stages and 1 mud section

Now for pr's till they clean the debris

You'd think so, right? They're one of the world's major coffee producers but espresso stands hardly exist here. People just drink hot drip coffee they make at home and not much else.

Dangerous but cheap! They're basically independent drivers that go around in their personal cars and will take you somewhere for a prenegotiated price.

I did some CX riding around the East Bay Hills.

i get that you were on the trail.

No brakes scare me if you really were.

Bahahaha, I could see that one coming lol!

To my defense we also visited a fair trade organic shade grown independent coffee co-op in nicaragua...
Also noticed my host family drinks maxwell house and tullys lol.

Haha, nice. Today I decided not to buy a $300 Livery frame even though I really ****ing want that ****.

Also learned how to play Elliott Smith's "No Name #1" and now my fingers hurt.

I think im gonna go tubeless...

overdressed on my morning commute. wife and i made chocolate chip cookies and watched a couple teen films.

i was offered a tryout for Team USA in the Battle of Nations (medieval armoured combat w/ rebated steel weapons). fairly confident i could make it, but declined based on not having time/money to run around Europe right now. i've fought with three of the current members....good times, good times....

Do you participate in SCA events?

How does the person know when to stay down?

yes, SCA since '92.

for the Battle of Nations you are considered 'downed' when three limbs touch the ground.

Topline SL, circa mid-90s.

Sweet ss rig! Love the old steel Treks; would love to get a made in the USA with awesome tubing version -- 900 series?
