Today I realized the fools on massdrop will buy anything. Did I mention ANYTHING for an outrageously inflated price?
How's $50+ for a set of 4 super light duty silicone spatulas that come in sweet fixie colors? Worse is there's nearly 20 people committing to it with it being posted for under 5 hours.
Fools and their money parted.

Today I got in an even dozen miles before work on my beater Gitane fixed-gear, working in some bonus hill climbs and smiling at everyone I met, because it felt really good to be out early and turning 45x17 and feeling metric gauge Reynolds 531 do its thing under me. And the people I encountered were all decent at least and smiled back at best, which is pretty good for 6:whatever in the morning.

today im bout to test-drive the vintage unicanitor, padded type. always heard these were v uncomfy so no i will figure it out. from first impressions the padding is dense and nice, the plastic shell is then and flexy. looks like its gonna be good.

I found the padded Unicanitor comfortable when I was twenty-something. Now, at 59, I prefer a Brooks Professional.

zomg, love this seat. the plastic is thin and very flexible, almost like a hard rubber. the padding is like a dense foam rubber, and leather is very nice. john thom, never had a real brooks. had a fake swallow and it was comfy enough but having to retension it bothered me as the saddle got very long and strange looking. i wanna try the brooks select models, with the extra thick non-dyed leather. those look promising. i intend on gripping a brooks and a vintage ideal though at some point. but i know this cinelli boi lighter weight doe. also nice zeus pista avatar. over all, for $35 shipped im very happy with my purchase, love it. gonna get more of these 2 stock up

I wonder if they're going to sell frameset only...
Looking at the components I have a good feeling it's going to be over $1500 with a dealer's take
Would've been extra nice if it was bb30 w/ track hollowgrams haha

Heading up to Seattle today to do the stp, gonna be riding it fixed and do it in two days. I haven't done any real mileage outside of track racing/commuting/alleycats so this might hurt.
If anyone else is riding it, I'll be stopping at Centralia for the beer garden.
