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?

Today I was quite impressed by warehousedeals, online the item was more than half off amazon price and it said it could possibly have damaged packaging.
Received it today and it's literally perfect, probably even better than what I would've received for full price after going through its rounds w/ the guys in brown.

Does it really matter anymore? He doped, just like everyone else, and got caught.
ITS ALL A CONSPIRACY TO GET HIM MORE SCREEN TIME AND MAKE MORE MONEY.

The only part of the Lance debacle that upsets me is how many people he went after/took down for accusing him.

As of next month, I am a full-time employee of The Pony Shop (Cannondale/Stevens/Mavic dealer) and part-time/on-call occasional employee at Performance.

Today I care about Lance Armstrong just as little as I cared about him when I was 12 years old.

Cut the line my headset made instead of the one I did on my steerer tube. Damn it was straight; looks like this build will take a little longer than I thought.

Today I got off my lazy ass and went for a ride. Now I get to sweep up dog **** in the back yard, then continue watching Monster (best anime I've seen in a long time).
