Thanks again, I hope so also. I'm glad I started wearing my helmet again this summer, otherwise it might have been worse. Yeah she stopped, she was friendly and had genuine concern. She was saying she would like for insurance to cover my expenses, so now it's up to the company.

today i hit the back of a car on my way to class in the school parking lot. i turned around for a second, the car in front of me stopped and by the time i looked forward i was already slamming into their bumper. i did manage to put my hand out and ease the collision somewhat, ha. no bike damage or injury, and hopefully no car damage, i doubt it. i rode away and went to class.

I'm in Manila. Quezon City to be more specific. Where are you from and why choose the Philippines? The smog here is killer and I wouldn't even consider riding a bike in the crazy ass traffic/pollution here. I've got some great family that keeps me coming back though. :thumb:

Today I....will be disassembling,cleaning and inspecting a new-to-me 29"er SS project bike,deciding what parts go,what parts stay and what parts to pull off another bike to finish this one). Also,I have a friend whose soon to be ex (over the weekend) beat her and tried to kill her and take her (not his) kids,so I have a feeling I'll lend a shoulder today as well. :notamused:

Today I think I decided against china carbon, and instead will pick up a CAAD10 frame set.

Black/anodized with the white decals.
So hot.

But if a deal comes up on a black/white, I'll take that too.

I was kind of wondering why didn't you just get something with a name on it in the first place, but I didn't want to say anything. You could of bought a CAAD 10 2 for around the same price of your chicarb build. Anyway you'll love the frame and there are a lot of good deals on ebay right now.

Yeah. I know lol. But once an idea is in your head, it's hard to get it out.

I'm pretty much gonna make a caad10 2 copy, but with better parts, for around the same cost.

If we're talking about sharp road bikes, I saw this yesterday and wanted it so bad(until I saw the price tag).

Got too cocky and tried trackstanding while still clipped in (still learning) for the first time. Fell. Dude in car laughed. Grinned and shrugged and tried again, held it till the light turned green and off I went.

jimmytango 11-14-12 01:17 PM

I haven't tried to trackstand since I started running SPD's.

cali_axela 11-14-12 01:25 PM

Yeah, I'm using SPD-SL's. Definitely need to practice more before trying that again in public... I'm good at doing "almost trackstands" while still clipped in, just not staying totally still and rocking small amounts :lol:

CAAD10 is one of my fav frames. It rides great, better than anything else Cdale makes.
For racing, it's a great foundation
