Thanks guys. It was just way way to easy of a sale. Usually you jump through hopes and have to detail every single inch of a bike in photos.

Did this end up okay? I saw this article.

Yeah perfectly, I must have lucked into an honest person. I did take a few extra steps to ensure he was legit. I added him on facebook, check the address he gave me, got his phone number and we have talked through out the transaction. Also we are both verified paypal users so the money clears instantly and I get a push notification on my phone the second he sends it. Texted him today and he is very happy, hell why shouldnt he be I sold him a $1300.00 bike that was brand new for $625.

Today I bought #racewheels (track) from @Jaytron and booked shuttles to take members of my club to 3 beginner sessions at Hellyer Velodrome during the month of October. Can't wait to hear my vig go whoosha whoosha whoosha.

Aww yiss.

This interests me greatly; might there be an extra spot available on one of those shuttles for me? Also, if I have a fixed gear bike with a front brake, can I just disconnect the cable and use it, or should I still rent one of their "real" track bikes?

today i stepped my fruitgame up to level 7

its to fat and way too damn happy looking. also the calendar is a cluster**** of complication, i hate it. and i use the calendar constantly.

I decided today that I need to get a two bolt seatpost for the Kilo, looks like Thomson are the only ones that are 26.8 that I can see. Eighty bucks for a seatpost seems like such a waste of money though.

Also, Crossdorks have become the new cat6'ers since Tridorks season is over, been raced every day this week.

They're no fun on the trails either. I just scream "Strava!" when they pass me.

Today I organized my books into my recently acquired glass door cabinet, learned about derivatives in calc class, rode bikes to get vegan chili dogs with the woman, and then played crappy board games at the bar.

Kalloy makes a couple in the $20 range.

I haven't looked at the calendar yet. I don't mind it, just wish it wasn't so colorful. I really didn't mind shades of gray.

How's your battery life. Mine seems to be dropping faster than normal.

Cynikal 09-18-13 09:30 PM

I'm having the same issue.

not sure its been plugged in since i updated, ill see how it is tomorrow
dont use those animated wallpapers though its gonna destroy the battery lol

guy i work with has had it since the beta though and the other day his was going down really fast but im not sure if it kept happening

if youre used to the list view of the calendar like me, hit the little search icon on the top right and it brings a list view back, but it doesnt stay when you close it out and come back.

i do like the yearly calendar though and the fact that everything is helvetica tickles my fancy
all the text and graphics are nice and well done, very "designy" as opposed to mostly utilitarian as it was previously

do not like icons though, folders are kindof stupid now, why make the icons 4x the size and have to scroll pages in a folder?

Members only at this point. When I was doing my beginner sessions, they allowed me to just disconnect my brake lever. You need drops, though, I think.

The rental bikes have pretty small gearing (48x16) since they are typically for beginners who aren't used to big gears and don't necessarily need to go very fast when learning the basics.

Today I played more gta v than I would've liked.

Good to know about the calendar. I hadn't looked at the folders yet either, ugh, that is annoying.

Uggh, I couldn't even imagine dealing with them out there, I just deal with them when I go to/come home from work.

For example

You are my hero, I was googling it for a bit but only found Ritchey MTB ones or Thomson.

Edit : Just kidding, just saw it had no set back and there setback one has a single bolt style.

Awesome. That build speaks to me. She says, "Use me, abuse me, ride me hard".
Srsly, I like it.
