Specialized disappoints me today. I went to buy an Echelon II helmet from my LBS and they didn't have the green color I wanted. Specialized is out of stock until July so my LBS couldn't even order it. City Grounds has it in stock but will not ship because of Specialized rules against online sales of their products. So now I will have to either wait or buy a different brand.
Also wanted to get my CAAD10 fitted but I don't feel like spending $200 on a fit from my LBS.

This would be valid but I'm trying to buy from one of their retailers and have it shipped to me, much like Specialized would if I ordered off their website. I can understand if they were undercutting the price of the LBS but they're not.

I saw one up close for the first time last weekend, it looks surprisingly okay. It was the limited edition Wutang bike.

Today I worked on a custom touring rack... a few little adjustments, a little more torch work, and polishing, and then it's paint time.
There are more brazed joints in this than there are in a bicycle...

beers and a night ride are in my future.
The local bicycle/carpool advocacy group is sponsoring a free show and a late night bike ride.
Between that and commuting to work I should be around 45-50 miles for today.

Someone scoped out my 67 vette last night. The lock on car cover was cut and tossed to the side. I guess all the locks kept it safe for the night, but I'm pretty sure they'll be back for it... This is why we can't have nice things.
