I took a monster nap today after class and woke up disappointed that the dream wasn't reality. I was in Beijing blasting metal and shooting firearms :(

I could not own that bike. DJ in my mind would be spinning Tina Turner nonstop.

Today I got a new front wheel for the surly.

Today a limosine deliberately side swiped me then said "F*** you" then gave me the finger. I told him I could have died and he didn't use his blinker. He just laughed then flipped me off again.
I'm so close to hitting super saiyan right now.

Did you get his plate number? And usually there's a form of discrete combination of letters and numbers for identifying the limo service (in CA it's TCP number which can be used to look up the operator).

GhostSS 10-14-14 09:58 PM

I literally just thought to myself that I forgot to take a pic of the plate. I was so angry and shocked at the psychopathic behavior I didn't look at the PUC #.

Whatever, I'm not attempting to rant, but boy I shore ahm angree 'bout it.

Sitting in the library trying to write 500 more words on this history paper.

As a reward, after I'm done editing tomorrow of course, I get to study for my Calculus midterm!

You mean 500 more words of BS for that history paper....

Calculus comes in pretty handy in the real world when a psychopath wages your life with your ability to solve a calculus problem. Ha! Not today! :D

If this happens again, stay calm, and record the incident with your phone, then get license plate # and PUC # . Once you get home send video and pics to the police.

My buddy almost had his bike stolen. It's this chain from harbor freight, I think 10mm links, although the lock was replaced with a circular disc type Heavy Duty Padlock ChainHe's lucky he's weird and was sleeping on his couch instead of in bed or he never would have heard the noise of the chain rustling outside. The dude was using 36" bolt cutters and a beach towel to hold the chain still. Strangest part is the thief walked past at least 10 bikes locked up with cables, onto the second story balcony to try cutting this pretty heavy duty chain that was protecting a $200 amazon fixie.

Sherblock 10-15-14 02:16 AM

he's living the chico life

Owlex 10-15-14 12:39 PM

Today I gave the bike a full wash, and an overdue de-grease/re-lube of the drivetrain.

FeelsGood.

Huffandstuff 10-15-14 01:10 PM

Tweakers are idiots, I had one smash out the back window of my truck(that wasn't locked) only to leave my radio in it but steal all of my burned cds. I have a theory that he really likes metal but had no laptop to burn them.

Dat deep V lust.

Today I got a coupon for $300 off a 2015 Leader 725 frameset from clicking on a Facebook link for the hell of it.

Ride725 if anyone wants it.

ThermionicScott 10-15-14 09:34 PM

Today I rode a headwindy commute to work, a spinny commute back, and then tightened my chain a little when I got home.

hairnet 10-15-14 09:50 PM

Today I replaced my Brooks B17 with a VO saddle, I'm curious to see how it compares (so far it is f'n rock hard). Sqrlfriend gets to ride the luxurious B17 now.

Gan Well Pro Evasion; last time I checked they're around $2000 for the frameset
Much crabonze
Too bad they ran out of money toward the end buying a u lock.

Owlex 10-16-14 12:02 AM

I rarely, if ever see other fixed gears in my city.


In the past 4 months since I moved downtown I've probably seen 3-5?

How are these made? Why does it look like the carbon was welded together?

Like the EQNX is. Aluminium lugs, carbon maintubes and stays.
