Today I : bought a bike! I only had time to take it out for about an hour so far but already I can tell I am gonna like this one.

dat drop

Went for my first fixed ride in over a week since having to rest my knees due to overuse from several different activities. So glad I run a small gear. Felt good.

It's not that fast. Also I'm probably going to the one this week.

I angled the photo to show how the frame would sit if it were built up.http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8259/8...bc10f633_z.jpg

It's sorta a budget build and nearly all the parts are second hand from good deals or hookups. If S900s do present themselves, I'll hop on them.

^ makes perfect sense


today i rode to work and i think i forgot my ulock at home, cuz it wasnt in my belt loop when i got to the office

what kind of idiot does that?

(ugh.)

One who doesn't eat a good breakfast. ;)

Yeah, in reality I should be cutting out all alcohol. Hard liquor is still around 70-90 calories a shot, a bottle of Guinness is 125. Wine is about the same. My daily calorie goal is a little over 1400. I was doing really good until I took vacation days in March and now I've plateaued. Riding the bike to work gives me over 900 additional calories to eat each day. I try to eat on the healthy side. By the time I finished dinner last night I still had 1000 calories to go. So even after a couple glasses of wine and a couple of beers, I was still doing pretty well.

Today I:

want downhill rig

Today I found this....

Bike Geo Compare Spreadsheet

I'm not sure if it's been posted on here, but I've been lurking for a long long time and I haven't seen it. I played around with it yesterday for a few bikes and found it helpful/fun to mess with.

That's pretty cool, but it doesn't really work very well unless you actually have the bikes available for measurement since a lot of the required specs aren't listed on geometry charts.

Its sad because its true.

I'm so bad, I ride to work in the morning on an empty stomach. Only 9.5 miles but still. There's no way I'm getting up early enough to eat at home, plus I'm usually not hungry until 8 or 9AM.

Today I found my hubset for my new wheels. Hnnnng.

Im hungry immediately, it really boils down to a motivational problem lol

when im off though and get up with the sun i take my time making tea and a glorious smorgasbord for breakfast simply because i know i have all the time in the world

its just knowing i have limited time before i have to leave that makes me say **** it and eat some junk

Same. And then I spend money even though I try to bring to lunch with me to avoid spending. I just have to go to sleep earlier and wake up earlier.

I do this too...my breakfast is usually pistachios or freeze-dried fruit once I get to work. Sleeping is more important for me in the morning than eating. I don't do well with mornings.

dude, go american classic.
58g front
205g rear

I've considered it. You can go lighter for cheaper with a lot of Taiwanese hubs, so I've abandoned AC.

+1 AC so sexay

Just hammered out close to 30 miles. The wind on the return trip was awful. Legs hurt so bad right now.

I rode my mother's dog up into the Beverly Hills's Franklin Canyon for a walk.

Haha, that's rad. I once tried to transport my cat on the motorcycle and he was not stoked.

The most understated sentence of the year, lol.

Today I sold the Leader.

This is a great shot!

Today I pushed out 70mi, got a flat at 57 quickly fixed and back on the road again.

What makes you want one? They are not cheap fwiw.

Today I had a good time on the dmr. More of the same tomorrow.

Today I got stuck at work...no time to ride home because the sun is setting and I have no reflectors/lights. Am now waiting for a ride home. :(

Very, very grumpy.

well I am going to be re-locating back to the mountains within 40minutes of summit county (which is home to most of the major ski resorts in CO) and want to start learning how to ride some of the bike parks out there. It was something a group of friends got into in HS, and I never really got the chance to try it out due to funds, athletic invovlement, etc.

ha maybe I'm just spending too much watching their GoPros on facebook and im missing jumping bikes. Its probably not going to happen, but I'm going to start researching and scanning CL. I dont even know i they make those in a frame size I could fit on...

Today I spent two ****ing hours adjusting a set of old-ass canti's, and they still aren't right. The rear refuses to lock up. Very frustrating.

awesome post hairnet
