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)

And jdg: yeah I got his info... I called the police mainly for the report, not interested in pressing charges or anything. There's some big monetary damage here to my bike and so I'll be dealing w his insurance.

Today I put in 28 miles of the 40 I had planned. Flatted at mile 12 and at mile 28. Had a tube, but forgot to bring enough Co2 for the 2nd flat.

Today is PTO for me, but I'm here (3-4hrs tops) anyway in order to stay above water!

The joys of salary!

Today I found a hairline crack on my roadie.


Nothing but a minor inconvenience w/ a year left to my 3 year warranty & a back up frameset.

With the back up frameset being mirror finished...
"Is that... is that electrical tape holding up your harness?"
-"Why yes, yes it is."

It's a small world, I would be in your area every time I go to target or home depot. Or the dreaded DMV...
I think you're the closest member to me. Genesee is a fun ride.

I rarely ride on Genesee, but I take Balboa all the time to access the coast or Santa Fe/Rose Canyon Path.

Balboa sucks on many levels.

A 22, tig root and hot, 7018 out. I let my certs expire and hadnt touched a stick rod in over a year. Been in the booth abour 4 hours a day for 7 days. Today was the light at the end of the tunnel.

I ran a carbon 6" coupon, tig root with stainless flux core fill and cap last week just screwing around. Pretty crazy how nice/weird it comes out.
