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)

For me a really bad hangover is pretty much the same thing as the flu i just got over, so that must blow.

Today I waited in the post office for 40 mins to get a package containing my parts and tools from Scrod so it was well worth the wait. Then came home to find my wheelset waiting for me. Finished the Pake and went for a ride around the block. Build came out to 16.8 pounds without weight weenieing. Gonna take some pics tomorrow morning.

Got the steerer cut on the caad today. Enough room for the spec required 10mm spacer on top, as well as 20mm to work the fit with. My main shop was closed, guess the owner is sick, so I had to go to another shop, and the guy did it for free. He didn't have any spacers though.

I called around, and no one has microspacers. meh.

Today i rode 9 miles in the misting rain at night. Felt OK in my yard before i left, less so moving along. And did i mention fogged glasses... BAM oh that must have been a pothole i didn't see.

My chain hates me. It sounds like i threw a handful of bolts into a fan.

Today everyone on facebook had really well thought out arguments about gun control and half of them didn't base it around an anecdote regarding one woman in Georgia blowing some guy's head off during a home intrusion.

Just kiddin.

People in this nation laud bloodshed. Those people ****ing suck.
