Damn, son.

Two dudes who lived with their parents up until their arrest a couple years ago also got busted for this. They lived directly behind me. The attic light (where they found it all) literally never went out, and I've always wondered if they were peeping on me ever since. So ****ing creepy. Both dudes were teachers too. Human waste/poster children for abortion.

I hate this time of the year as much as I love it. Got "dropped" by like four "sweet fixie bros" on the ride home, sorry pal if you were such an elite cyclist, I'd probably see you when there was water on the ground.

Thx, I think those are orig. levers for that bike - I love 3+ finger brakes! Actually wheels and crank are pretty close to orig spec also. Just has that hot Magna saddle and Odyssey pedals on it. Thinking about putting LX front derailer and Suntour 7 rear derailer on, to be actuated with grab bag shift levers - SR right and Shimano left.

MC parts bike would be hot!!!

Noticed we are getting a lot of necro-posts in the BFSSFG. Seems like people are trying to find threads not turned into food/image macro threads.

Can't wait to put my GR-9s on my bike when I get home from work. Yay for having foot retention again.

Today I realized how ****ty those microtex fizik bar tapes are. The black ones look make it look like my drop bars are wearing stockings. What a waste of money; I'm gonna go get the leather ones tomorrow instead. Also, my new build should be done tomorrow.

FakeFuji 06-04-13 07:04 AM

I was overall really satisfied with my fizik tape, but I think in the future I will go back to cork, it just feels like home

Why would you do that??? It seems as if you would just repair the first one.:)

Haha, I put on my new wheels last night and thought I'd try out the new latex tubes that were tossed in for free...blew one airing it up last night. Today I was trying to move up the ranks in a strava segment because I had a nice tail wind and bang/hiss, flat tire. (time was 13mins for the 1/2 mile, ha!)

So two in the last two days, plus double flat on memorial day...I should be down to about 5 minutes changing time if this keeps up.

I doubt I'll be buying anymore latex tubes. I also might not buy any more GP4000S's as they don't seem to like me either.

Congrats. From what to what?

Nailed the interview. I dunno if they're going to offer me the job or not, but it won't be because of anything I did or didn't do.

johnnytheboy 06-04-13 07:47 PM

did 12mi of singletrack and about to head out for 20 on the road....trying to hit 450mi this month.
i'm on track so far.

Today I raced my first criterium with an old Raleigh Technium, complete with friction downtube shifters and biopace ****rings. That was my high speed goonsquad apparel.

I stayed with the pack up until the last lap, on the last hill. I tried to follow an attack while sitting in third, missed a gear, and just said **** it because I was pretty spent. Finished last with the exception of those that had already been dropped. Even though my heart is still on the track, this was so much fun and I suggest all of you guys give it a try.

Flashed a new ROM and kernel on my Nexus 7. Over clocking, and now benchmarking faster than an ipad.

Running N64 and PSX games like butter.

cc700 06-05-13 12:28 AM

today i worked a pretty trying sales floor tuesday. yaaaay, bike shop.

also, ordered my new babby. i'm so excited I can't breathe. can't. ****ing. wait.

also, got my x9 type2 rd in and shifter. UPGRAAADE. just put it on and i realized I need to convert to a 2x10 and I honestly think that will be fine for the riding i do. Gotta find a bash ring and maybe new front shifter. For now I just limited out the small ring. Temporary fix that works so i can spend money on "new babby"

yesterday was ****ing AWESOME and my mechanic shift went REALLY well. then i got drunk with coworkers at a going away party. it was rad.
