Back up to 210. Damn it lol. I'm glad I'm tall and wear my weight well.
Can't wait to get back on the bike.

Shooting for 170 in the long run. Might be out of reach, I have a pretty large frame and that would be the lightest I've been in like 10 years haha.

how tall r u?

hahaha word im just bustin' yer balls.

6 foot.


Bought this bad boy today. Picked it up in the rich(er) part of Los Gatos. Newly divorced lady, pretty sure I bought her exhusbands baby.They had a million dollars worth of cars in their driveway too. Kinda jelly, but I couldn't live like that.

It needs a tear down, but every single part is quality.

hmmm..

today i was off all day and didn't have a goddamn thing to do.
slept til 8, laid in bed til 1, showered at 2, drove around for a couple hours and currently watching crybaby and drinking black russians.
too cold and wet to ride today.

First day of classes today. Class starts at 7am 5 days a week sooo Imma take the train. Train commuting is LA. weird

First day of work after 4 days in NYC, spent most of it looking at bike components.

I should have hit some of you NYC folks up while I was out there, but we had so much **** planned there wasn't time to get away.

I drank my weight in beer and wine, and ate some fantastic Italian food. Also, The Book of Mormon is funny ****.

too bad u dont smoke weed

lol

I'd still be able to say "hella" though...right?

Today it's snowing in Charlotte.

Also my daughter is flying back to school. I'm going to miss her, but it was good she could visit.

depends on where you are. its a bay area thing.

i say it sometimes but a lot of so cal people dont like it. ive always been pretty connected to the bay area from family.

today im considering using bike money on homebrew equipment

im often conflicted with things like this, in the end its best to consider extra funds to be "hobby money" this way it doesnt get jealous when you spend it on other hobbies

today i: moar tattoos.

All my So-Cal friends get annoyed when I say hella. That's a solid reason to move to San Francisco.

Today, despite a crap day at work and getting a damaged vinyl record in the mail, this shipped:


Serotta Legend Ti CX w/ Traitor cycles steel fork (sans headset).

the fork will be one of the first things to go... hopefully my build will do it some justice.

freakin' stoked

cringe

That serotta is hella sick.

Nice dude, do you have a full drive side picture? Do you mind telling us how much you snagged it for?

Screwed around with the Kilo, chain line is still off. I understand within a few millimeters is "ok" but it pisses me off.

I decided that this weather sucks and I want a trainer. What do you guys use/recommend?
I was briefly looking at the cycyleops fluid 2.
I want the quietest possible one as I live in an apt building and will probably be using it at odd hours. <$500.

Don't worry about chain line unless its super off, **** i got my shimano 600ex close but it isn'T perfect and i run a biopace chain ring and don't have issues. Ride your bike bro. I don't drop my chain.

I'll post proper pics once it's in one piece. It needed a good degreasing/regreasing and it needs a replacement of all consumables, as well as an inner chainring (broken tooth) and a new jockey wheel (cracked).


I got it for 250 and about an hour and a half drive. It's gonna be a pretty damn good bike for around 400 bucks.
Chris King, Easton carbon cockpit, XT, avid 2.0 levers, mavic rims, boutique cnc machined calipers, all that jazz.

today I got a little more annoyed that the stuff I ordered last week from Mash in SF still hasnt shipped. I wanted to order a couple more things so i emailed them seeing if it could be added to the frame... no reply

Shouldve ordered it from Retro.

Today my reservation at this one fancy place was confirmed and just like that, with the last piece of the puzzle falling in place, I'm all set for Valentine's day.
