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)

Yeah, let Jesus watch the kids for a little bit lol

Today I ordered wheels, BB and even remembered cogs. Okay, I forgot the cogs but did a second order for them. Hmm, now I am wondering if the wheels come with lock rings... Oh, well I still have time before the frame is painted up and ready for components.

Pretty excited, this is my first fixie project and it's been a lot of fun planning, polishing etc

gracias, amigos.

car shopping, apartment hunting, winter base miles (especially since i haven't really ridden in like 2 months, school why?!?!?)

and my sister told me she wants her guitar back, so now i gotta go guitar shopping (no more bike money for now)

but i'm thinking the next bike should be a touring rando something style bike with racks and bags and fen-derps.

work starts March 1...!

Stripped down an old Schwinn for the vintage Sugino SuperMaxy cranks. Grabbed a titanium Cinelli stem from the shop parts bin. Enough parts to build up the rest of the Novarra steel frame should be arriving tomorrow.

Merry Christmas to me...

Just nailed a maple brown sugar fudge recipe.

Nice to see you around these parts again tejano!

Today I saw the bad bay area weather and the Christmas time of year as a good excuse to have a lazy day with the sqrl. Ended up watching the robocop, rambo, and working through the LOTR trilogy right now.

Today(yesterday) I decided to clean my chain, and I some how managed to actually break the link. Now my chains too short, and literally just the other day I threw out my extra links thinking I wouldn't need them any longer. LUCKILY I found a 42 tooth chain ring in my bin which just barely works with the chain, so I installed that in the event I can't find an open shop today. Now I'm running 42x18 instead of 48x18, but I'll be damned if anything gets in the way of me having a chance to bike 3 days in a row. Oh yeah, merry whatever it is you celebrate.
