Hey, The CAAD10 got a pedalroom profile like 6 months ago. Totally keeping it.

Should have clotheslined him.
Scrod would have been proud.

+1 on that Jeremiah Johnson gif

Did he run off after he knew it was your bike or did he actually try to fight back? Total knock out?

When did this happen?

Seriously, when did it happen?

i hadnt clicked the thread for fear of bad juju, that blows (but is also great)

ps: whats the deal on that litespeed?

Today I got to ride a pennyfarthing. Pretty fun and crazy.

I confronted him, he said he found it. I said it was mine. He said he was keeping it. I grabbed the bike. He pushed me. I punched him. He got all stumble-y. I grabbed my bike and rode to the track. Wasn't a total knock out, but he wasn't all there.

Don't do meth.

Last Monday.

Ended better than expected, for sure. Must have has some good karma circling back around

Litespeed: waiting for the guy to ship it. I'm so excited.

Its like a 60cm frame isnt it? And youre building it up with EPS?

62.

EPS? I wish. Veloce or Centaur. Haven't decided.

u cray

Today I cleaned the house. Now my hands smell like Chlorox and my living room smells like Pine-Sol. Am very satisfaction.

This makes me so happy.

Same. I don't ever want to get my **** stolen, but I think a lot of us would be lying if we haven't dreamed about some /r/justiceporn-esque scenario like this going down.

Glad you got yr whip back.

Bummed you didn't videotape the encounter for our entertainment though. Get your ****ing priorities straight man!

Back on topic, today I wish my school deadlines would fall of the same stupid imaginary cliff I've been waiting my roommate and his gf to plummet down in a fiery ball

Today my Camelbak podium bottle started singing at me, and I freaked the **** out because it hasn't done that in a while, and I forgot what it sounded like.

I lol'd irl.

Did you go to the track today?

Johnny needs a BF account.

**** was scary man.
An nah. I had a orchestra rehearsal until 5:30, and I have a final I need to study for this week, so I'm not going to be doing much. Except for getting that fit.

today i made my 56x49 feel like a 55x 51 thanks to my stem+saddle rails.... feels good man

Wha? Can you elaborate, bro?

56 top tube, 49 seat tube, pushed my saddle forward 1cm from previous slammed position, raised stem 7/8" from previous slammed position, affecting my overall fit for the better. i feel like in a perfect world id be running a 53 top tube and 120 stem, with a 55 seat tube, 170 cranks and 28c 700c tires. but im working with what i have on a budget.

edit and i know that moving it forward 1cm wont make it fit like exactly a 51 due to the 72 degrees and **** but it works for me **** it

and dont tell me to "buy a bike that fits well in the first place" cause its my first build, the top tube definitely fits, and im still proud of it.

yeah in hindsight i wouldve done better but i dont think i did too bad.

And what does tire size do in relation to bike fit? Please elaborate :)

Perfectly flush standover.

lol
and what does yo mama

j/k ;)


im using 32s right now and i feel like even with the ****ty streets around here id like a 28c better, idk why, lol :)

Yeah, saddle's still way behind the BB, but some people like it like that.

So wait, did you fit yourself onto your bike properly then decided it didn't feel good, or are you just guessing your saddle position? Respectfully asking here; not trying to bust your balls or nothin.

i didnt get fitted. had a few bikes from garage sales and thrift stores, sort of half built one by myself, been riding around town/at the greenhouses for a couple years out of necessity, learned a ton of stuff online, sort of figured out how i wanted my bike to fit along the way. i try to go by like comfort, pedaling power/efficiency, how much i can stretch out while still being comfortable, stuff like that. ill definitely build more bikes. just finished my first "from scratch" build and its a little aggressive, i think im more of a "french fit" type of guy haha but i like to just jet out really fast and get where im going quick but ive realized i dont think the aggro setup is really going to get me anywhere -that- much faster haha

Yeah, that's a pretty short seattube for the top tube. When you put those specs up I thought for sure it would be sloping top tube frame. That frame is hot, though!

That's a usable top tube for me but with that low head tube I'd have to be running Technomic stem for sure.

Ahh I see. You should perhaps try some of the fit guidelines on this page: http://bikedynamics.co.uk/guidelines.htm

I'm only saying this because you've got one hefty setback, which you don't need unless you've got long femurs (like I do). If your "proper fit" put your saddle more forward, you wouldn't feel so stretched out/aggressive. I feel you though, I settled on risers because I didn't like being aggro for long periods.
