Gotta love those short hereditary genes huh?

I read an article about this recently and it stated something about the process involving long and painful physical therapy afterwards. Best of luck, not too much though as I'm pretty sure you don't want to outgrow a 58.

The 60's are cheaper!

It's gonna be worth it when I'm able to make threads like "Looking for a size 58 track bike with a 52cm top tube. Recommendations?"

Oof better put elbow lengthening on the tab too.

Yeah body proportions are going to be off for sure. Nothing wrong having with slenderman like limbs through.

You can always take the oath of the weekend warrior. Nothing wrong with that you might even be able to squeeze in some rides in between during the workweek. OR do something about it and ride our bike with a/ to and from a job like a boss. Just because the sun isn't up doesn't mean you can't ride.

Not bike related, but assassins creed 3 or borderlands 2?

Nagrom_ 11-18-12 03:43 PM

Bl2

Muffin Man 11-18-12 03:47 PM

I'm assuming that means borderlands. I was leaning towards that already.

Nagrom_ 11-18-12 04:07 PM

what else would it mean? haha.

Yeah, it's great, mindless fun.

Adrian_ 11-18-12 04:19 PM

I beat Borderlands a few days ago and I felt the gameplay was kind of repetitive. Go here, kill those guys, get this item, bring it back was basically the whole game. After a while I kind of forgot there was a story to it.

On the other hand I haven't beat AC3 yet but the story is pretty good so far, lots of drama. Gameplay wise AC games feel the same only thing that changes is the weapons and setting imo. Not much else changed.

Muffin Man 11-18-12 04:55 PM

Yea I just beat ac2 for the 3rd time, and am working on getting all the glyphs and feathers. I think that's my newest game.

Mumonkan 11-18-12 06:03 PM

im still enjoying d3 a few weeks in
no 60s yet though, monster power is the tits

KDL323 11-19-12 10:15 PM

Should I switch out my whole crankset/bottom bracket/cog to a 44/17 set up or keep stock bottom bracket/crank and just switch out the chain ring/cog. 48/16 is a bit tough on my knees(recovering from a torn meniscus).

Muffin Man 11-19-12 11:00 PM

I say jus switch out the cog, and chainring if needed. Unless you wanted an excuse to upgrade your cranks haha

Should I sell my Specialized frame and buy a Soma Smoothie / All City Mr. Pink / Cinelli Experience?

Or another nice frame if someone has suggestions.

Inception.

Nagrom_ 11-20-12 09:20 PM

Also, I like how everyone is ditching their plastic roadies for metal.

ddeadserious 11-20-12 09:21 PM

Yeah I'm over my Tarmac. I wish someone would buy it so I can order a Mr. Pink and not ride it.

How'd that lead over in the 41 go?

Also, the guy who's buying my roadie is on his way over. so... schweet.

Lucky you, man!

The guy emailed me and told me that my price seems way too high for a Tiagra bike, and I told him that I'm willing to work on the price but not dramatically, and he hasn't emailed me back. I'd love to work something out with him, but I'm not going to cut my price in half or anything. I'll part it out before I sell it for too little.
