Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

I like the Park MT-1 as a modern equivalent...

I've just been sitting around all day like i have been most of the time the last 2.5 weeks, because of the accident I posted about. Wednesday I had AC joint reconstruction surgery done on my right shoulder, so at least that is out of the away. I just wish I could ride. I have a follow up appointment in a couple weeks, and i guess that's when i start physical therapy. At that time I'll probably have a general idea how long I'll be out.

Today my Spicer went home with a cute messenger chick. I was 50/50 on selling it but now i'm happy I did. It just didn't fit. I'm currently trying to work out shipping with someone on a Raleigh Macaframa in my size. Also looking at a Pista Concept half the price of the Maca....

That MT-1 will make a pretty sweet stocking stuffer present, definitely want to add it to my towel.

Half the price is hard to ignore, but I like the Macaframa. I'd take a Rush Hour Pro over that though.

Bikes: good ones.

I've been seeing the fredmuters too. They keep riding on the wrong side of the road. I'm pretty sure its so they can watch traffic come at them. It's not like these guys have flash-like reflexes to dodge that Escalade that's barreling towards them. To be honest, I'd rather not see it coming anyways.

I think I have tendonitis in my foot/ankle. Whenever I really crank down or pull up with that foot, I feel a sharp stabbing pain on the inside from the ball to the ankle. I really wanna just HTFU but it hasn't gotten any better with a couple days of rest. Walking around with my goofed shoes kills too.

Sober driving for a buddies 21st because I'm broke as a joke and need an excuse not to waste money on booze.

The maca is probably my dream modern track frame. I love Raleighs old stuff and always wanted one of these but either can't find one or I don't have the cash when one pops up, the maca paint job is pretty close.

fwiw, I have tendonitis in my non-dom (left) wrist, and the pain is more of a dull, constant thing. Gets both sharp and burning though when I move it the wrong way though.

Today I gave my wife the choice between a brand new iMac (with requisite drain on the savings) vs. taking my 3 year old, upgraded but serviceable PC.... and she got so stressed out about it that she told me she didn't want anything and went to bed. At 7pm.
