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)

The only piece of computer hardware that I experience failures with is hard drives. No way I would use one as a repository for a collection.

Confirmed a short jaunt to Austin in November for Fun Fun Fun Fest. Got all excited to meet up with friends there, then realized none of the people I knew there are still living there.

Anyone in ATX wanna meet up/watch me scratch records awkwardly?

You do realize you can download just about any movie made in about 10 minutes, right?

Today, I knocked out 100 miles. I'm tired.

Also, I now feel like throwing up.

If it is real, the bone bar could possibly screw together in the middle like a lightbulb and a conduit being solid for rigidity and the clamp of the stem hiding the seam and sealing the package together.

Yeah, I was wondering if you were gonna make it to the MTB thing. Woke up today feeling pretty good and rode out to kelleys point then downtown and around with friends. Pushed hard heading home and I could definitely feel some tightness in the legs though when climbing.

Bikes: 2013 BMC Impec

Went to leave a buddies last night and had a flat. Pumped up and could hear an audible leak. Was one of like the three nights a year I didn't ride with my bag which has a spare tube and flat kit. Wrapped the tire where it was leaking with some electrical tape, overinflated the tire by 15 psi and rode home fast. Went to fix it this morning. Installed a brand new latex tube I've had laying around, was leaking air around the valve after I installed and pumped it up. Grab another latex tube and install, also ends up leaking air around the valve. Say **** it, I'll just put my ruffy tuffy back on, that thing still has the tube stuck in it from when I changed it out for the conti grand prix 4000, and it never flatted. Get it installed and pumped up only to find out that the extra width going from 25mm to a 27mm tire rubs on the completely unused rear brake bridge. Get extra mad, grab conti tire again and a butyl tube from the garage and finally install it with no issues.
4 tubes, some sweat, lots of frustration, and 30 minutes later just so I could ride to the gym to work out on labor day by myself because my buddy that was meeting me there got kicked out trying to sneak in without a membership because he's cheap >.>

Today I decided I wanted a bigger challenge in my life, something I really had to work for. I came to the conclusion that I will race the 2014 Dirty Kanza 200 (next may). To do this I need a cross or gravel bike. So I am now selling off some bikes I finally realized I can let some of these go. Anyone looking for one of these let me know: Side note the crest will come returned to 100% stock, I just finished the build too haha. I dont think anyone will really step up to the plate on that one though.

Haha, I thought about it but I dont feel a heavy single speed will mix well with 200 miles on gravel and 10,000 feet of climbing. If it doesnt sell I will probably put some huge tires on it and switch it to drops.

Plenty of people ride the DK200 without a dedicated gravel bike. Hell, you could probably get away with the ride on the mountain conversion you built if you were so inclined.

For my money, I'd rather take a vintage 650b conversion or my converted Stumpjumper over something like a Warbird. I'm kind of a retro-grouch though.

Today I: picked up a pair of 48U 2-post racks for 30 bucks. PRETTY STOKED.
