If that was not thousands of miles away from me I would literally buy it tomorrow.

Just what's so appealing about these? I've never thought much of them. I do know the city of oakland uses them for parking enforcement.

They're not really that appealing.

I figure with something specific like that, you would need to open up to Craigslist or eBay to get a decent one. Looking more locally?

Nagrom_ 03-22-15 09:19 AM

Anything within 1000 miles is game.

Bad business.

Today I ditched Ciclavia to ride my mtb. I upped my gear ratio and head out. It was noticeably harder but not so bad and now the bike feels a little more well rounded because it isn't geared too low to stand and hammer on climbs or totally useless on the flats(still kinda, but that's SS MTB) ~20 miles with 2000ft elevation

I am pooped and I have two burritos ready for my mouf

Today I rode 44 miles on the Jamis with some friends and froze my ass off. Spring needs to turn the thermostat up a few degrees already. My legs are like cooked spaghetti noodles right now and the thought of standing up and walking to the kitchen to get something for dinner makes me cringe.

I just built up an SS MTB too, 26" on 2.0" tires and running 33/19. Feels pretty good to me so far (lots of steep climbs that I haven't had to walk, barely). What're you running now?

Mumonkan 03-23-15 02:48 PM

today i took the trek out for a proper shakedown for 18 miles on road, gravel, dirt, singletrack

i like it. will love it when i put on planned upgrades. needs more top end, compact drops, brifters

I think I already did, but you're welcome to read the original post again. And no, not drunk... just annoyed that something as innocuous as playing with quotes drew the ire of the modstapo.

TMonk 03-23-15 04:08 PM

OK, my bad, I take it back.

I think your "often drunk by noon" description and irate post made me think so, but the post above seems coherent and reasonable.

pitbullfan 03-23-15 04:14 PM

Lets get back on track here...

Today i was luck enough to squeeze in about 30 miles of fun on a fixed gear.

Today i got passed by another singlespeed for the first time. I wimped out and had o walk up a pretty steep hill. I ended up catching back up to him though. we rode along together and chatted. Figured out why he passed me so easily on the hill an i caught back up sp easily. He was running 42/16 and i was using 46/16.

Hope you guys did some pedalling today.

Unkle Rico 03-23-15 04:17 PM

I got completely soaked riding to work today which totally blew. Wasn't raining when i left the apt and 10 mins after i got to work it was sunny out. Mother nature can be so lame sometimes
