Got a Suntour Superbee 49t chainring off ebay. Solid condition at a good price imo.

In an hour I leave for two weeks in Alaska :D

Today I finally tested out my new wood burning camp stove :)

Today I got in 68 miles.

Thinking about selling the Leader

Bad ass

Purchased a Suntour Superbee Pro crankset from Japan. Going to polish that **** to a mirror shine once it gets here.

My dad was in town today for about 14 hours, so we rode bikes a little, caught a movie and then the Royals game up in KC. We're both pretty much workaholics, and he lives 1,500 miles away so it was nice that he stopped in for a bit, don't get to see him that much.

Pretty great Sunday by my standards.

Sounds like a good day.

Spent the day with family and friends. I don't get to do that as much as I'd like. It was fun.

goooood

sweet. make sure to take before pics. what are you gonna use to polish them?

This is the actual crankset. A lot of sandpaper and a 8" buffing wheel on my bench grinder.

rad. whats it goin on?

167.5mm That is neat, I didn't know that size existed.

[MENTION=385036]Owlex[/MENTION] do you/did you go to KU?

Today I cut short my morning ride when the ancient Stronglight 113mm crank spindle began shedding bits of itself into my bottom bracket bearings. One minute I was gliding along, smooth as silk on my nice new 28mm Paselas; the next there was suddenly a noticeable click that only got worse. I thought at first it was a damaged saddle rail, then I stopped and felt over all the frame tubes because I was convinced I had cracked the 43-year-old Gitane somehow.

Nope. I remembered the spindle had some worn spots on it when I installed it, and I suspect that when I pull everything out I'll find obnoxious stray bits of steel flopping around in the grease. Ugh.

Options are (1) buy another vintage 113 spindle, clean up the cups and install with fresh bearings and grease, (2) pull the ancient Stronglight cups and use my fancy Phil Wood French-thread mounting rings to install a new or used Phil 113 or Shimano un72 cartridge unit, or (3) cough up the bread for a new Velo-Orange French thread unit. Decisions, decisions ...

Nope. I'm almost 22, have lived in Lawrence since I was 6. I went to college for a couple years but not at KU.

Oh. I've spent some years in Lawrence, great times.

Nice! It's a really fun town. The roads can be sht quality though sometimes.

My experience (with Stronglight doubles, anyway) is that Campagnolo spindles are a reasonable substitute. Or is your BB one of the sealed bearing units?

That's actually one of the significantly better cosmetic condition pairs I've seen. I would keep DS as is to keep the decals with maybe some touch up.

today i was hired on for management for a new job- the first time this particular company has ever not promoted internally for this position...they interviewed 5 other people (all current employees) and i got the job. needless to say, i will probably not be very liked my first few weeks. oh well. party on.

today i hiked and went cliff diving and went swimming in pools under waterfalls

it was a good day.

nice, where?

Not really interested in the decals, I want it to shine like this.
