And I posted it because:
2. I was proud of my work and wanted to share it. Just like people here are proud of their bikes and builds and whatever and want to share those. I'm a freelance print designer in a digital world and I take pride in my work. It's exciting for me to see my stuff go to print outside of my home studio. I've designed over 600 books for independent authors. When I see someone carrying a book that I've designed, it's a boost for me.
I wasn't trying to make money off of the forums. I'm not some corporate pig. I'm just proud of what I do and today was a bit of a milestone.
I took it down though. So carry on. Didn't mean to step on any toes or violate the forum rules.

I appreciate that man! And I totally get where you're coming from. I got excited. LOL! Also... I'm with you on the "is this bike good or bad" stuff.

Also, I'll take that as a compliment, whether you meant it that way or not.

It's a compliment. I/ a lot of members here won't buy it but I know for sure there's rambunctious youth that will with their parent's money.

I figure it appeals to a more... "hip" crowd. If you know what I'm getting at.

Did my first Century on Sunday, albeit on my geared bike. I felt sick 70 miles in, I think my nutritional intake during the ride wasn't adequate; that and the fact that I finished up my midnight shifts 2 days before so my body wasn't completely in normal swing. Overall I was happy with the ride, though I wish I felt better. I did it in about 7 hours, averaged roughly 14mph, 4200 calories burned.
I also sold my Aerospoke wheel today; looked cool but was too heavy for what I needed. I broke even.

Those look amazing! Did you use mag polish? I see a lot of guys on the *** forums doing 1911's and Glock slides with mag polish and a buffer wheel. Interested to know if you did something similar.

Raced my first ever cross race last night, started at the back of the pack since I was taking the first lap easy. Ended up getting comfortable after that and placed 11th for the c class. Think I got my roommate interested in racing it too.
