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)

Today I got an already broken camera and a nook for christmas, no I need to get a Wi-Fi router, because I don't have one.

Looks like I'll be clearing a snow/sleet mix tomorrow.

Today I spent Christmas with my Family in Spokane. We hadn't all been together since July so we decided we'd skip the presents and just have family time. I couldn't be happier Takes a lot of the stress out of what should be a relaxing time.

Rode down to an estuary to do some bird watching. Thought it'd be pretty quiet going down the bike path on the way there as it was pretty early, but I was dodging entire families on shiny new beach cruisers the whole way there. I was really surprised I didn't see more people on new fixed gears, though. Then again, FG bikes don't seem all that popular in this city as I rarely see anyone else riding them. Anyway, got a picture of a Black Phoebe, which up to this point has eluded me as these birds just never stay still:

Bummer dude I was so slow yesterday. Week off the bike and only riding 1-2 times a week for the last month or so is killing me. Rock climbing != riding in terms of staying 'fit'. Oh well. Day 2 of the Festive 500 tomorrow, glad I had a recovery day

Bikes: thats none of your information BF

found out, as i'm sitting in the airport, that I could have stayed another night at home for christmas (which would have added the grand total of days home to 4). heres to hoping the flight gets cancelled and I go home.

Les miserable was pretty neat too

Today my wheelset from RG finally came after getting lost in the mail. They went out the 10th, and I got them today. Still not bad, haha.
Holy ****, these things are light.

As it sits in the picture, frame, uncut fork, headset, saddle, post, stem, bars, and bottle cages, so just missing groupset and rubber, it is sitting at a remarkably light 4.15kg.

2013 BB30 Force weighs sub 2kg, and my rubber should weigh ~510g, which should put the build under 15 pounds. Pretty hot for metal.
