Now is probably not the best time to mention that I've been wearing shorts and a tshirt on my commute every day so far this week :rolleyes:

I don't give a hoot, I enjoy riding in crappy conditions.;)

Me too, I even bought a bunch of new winter gear a few weeks ago in anticipation; haven't had to use any of it yet other than the headlight. Soon though, I'm sure, but this SF Indian Summer is sure nice.

Actually am currently reading one of the bikesnob books.

Same here, did 24 miles in the storm. Getting pretty bad around here, almost stopped a few times because of the wind shoving snow in my face.

Been nearly a non event here, just a very light dusting and I'm like a 50 minute drive down I-78 from NYC. Raining right now.

3+ inches here with strong winds and power outages and my friggen lights are flickering as I type this.. Hope I don't lose power again.

But it can always be worse.. A few coworkers lost their house, cars, and all their belongings in Sandy.

Uh... you can love the game and hate the players, too...

say hi (i mastered the re-issues)

Definitely could be worse, every day I am able to watch tv or get online I see more and more of what Sandy did to the region, hope to never see such a thing again and hope that all get through this.

Best of luck, hope you don't lose power.

At 17, I was the youngest at my polling place haha. I only worked half a day though.

Today I went to the $0.99 store for house supplies (sponges, soap, paper towels etc.) and left with bags of junk food. Damn the holidays

The latest election has got me thinking.. I really hate politics.

This^ bringing up such topics really brings out the uglier sides of people especially if you support the opposite of what/ who they idealize.

first year bike commuting in the cold (19F this morning), cannot believe the carb cravings. want to eat everything.

Rode down to the bike co-op and got hit by a car on the way. Tossed me off the bike but no injuries or damage.

Learned all about cottered cranks. They are a pain.

First time riding around in 0 degree weather (it's Celsius, I'm cheating.)

Now I'm eating some vegetable curry, it's fantastic.

Glad to hear you're ok

Getting better at this whole sewing thing.

Bought a new snow shovel, installed blinds in my new room so that I don't give the neighbours a free show.

:)

very nice.

Swapped stems. Thomson has very short stack height, so figured I'd need spacers. Couldn't find spacers. Steerer shim is pretty tall so it actually worked as a "spacer" for preloading.

SEEMS LEGIT

(just temporary. I'm going to get that extra spacer)

How do you like that saddle?

the under side says "polo"

Today, I used a fit calculator and found out that I'm supposed to be riding a 53cm frame....probably explains why the 56cm always felt too large.

and the BK 56 takes no prisoners

btw saw your frame on CL while I was browsing for a used BK for myself :p
