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)

RG isn't technically open today but I'll be there for a little while this morning to take care of a few things. I've got a ton of extra links hanging around. Come by and I'll hook you up.

Today it's official: I won my fantasy football league! Woo!

And now, grocery shopping (oh god it's gonna be a ****show), booze purchasing (ditto), pie making (woo!) and presents exchange with the boyfriend (double woo!).

Tomorrow, Friendsmas 2012. Let it begin.

My phone doesn't want me to do reply quotes, so you get it in long-form.

TT, good to see that you're still around.

Leuky, I give. Who is it?

Last night, friendsmas with some of the most awesome people ever. Today, heading out for my three day Xmas adventures. Happy holidays to all of you!

Today I found out that I broke the rear axle on my commuter bike. Oh so that was what all that crunchy feeling in the pedals was.

GOD I LOVE BEING SUCH A HEAVY MOTHER****ER! I guess I have to give up using my 6 speed freewheel.

Tonight i had a race around my house with my 3 year old. He lapped me (squeezing through doorways into hallways is fun!). Merry Christmas and happy other holidays to everyone!

Bought This.
and with the help of JPZ66 from the C&V section we cleaned it up, repacked the front and rear hubs and shined up a few things. its rideable but id like a set of wider bars and a bit longer stem. im going to replace all the brake cable housing and maybe cables. needs things like bar tape and a set of SPD pedals.

Today I made my kids happy, had a great afternoon with my family, ate too much and am now settling down to read my new book " Racing bicycles: 100 years of steel" before eating even more and, because I'm now at home and don't have to drive, drinking too much

Have a good one peeps, tomorrow we get to ride all the excess off.

Today I:

Today I had Christmas with my dad, and I now own a catlike whisper deluxe plus. He also got me the Ireland jersey from PBK, and the matching socks. Damn good morning. And now I have to take off to school for our bowl game rehearsal. Going to be a long afternoon/night

I'm so glad we're open even though there are no people outside and I'm eating a 1.5 pound block of corn bread with week old reheated party container coffee
