OH THE HUMANITY!

(This is referencing Carcosa's post. No disrespect to our fallen.)

Wow that sucks. But I must admit I kind of chuckled at that.

Today I got more commute time in on the puch.

A sacrifice must be offered up to the rear cog gods so as not to lose the tip of one's finger. Karma baby.

Luckily they were cheap, so it was more of a haha moment at myself.

A small price to pay for digital freedom.

I replaced the cheapo rubber rim strips on my Cilo with some nice Conti HP strips and also did a little minor work on said bike. Found out the lower jockey wheel on the derailleur is worn and needs replacing.

Hopefully going to participate in a "race" this fall with a vintage team (though not L'Eroica strict) and need to get out and training on my purple swiss baby. She done got lonely in the winter.

today i put an old 32 pasela on the front of the trek and its only .5mm bigger than the 28 it replaced. newer ones must be bigger cuz the newer 32 on the back looks massive by comparison and still only measures 30mm

No sleep last night because I suck at writing essays.

Last night I had a Napalm Death burger. Yummy

From Dimmu Burger?

Today I get the fun task of reglueing my tubulars but not before a skate session.

OCD is a real *****, isnt it?:) Does this mean you're going to swap the front tire with the rear now?

Seems like tire manufactures often "missrepresent" tire sizes. Labeling a 28mm as a 32mm, will make their tire appear very light in comparison.

I put some 28s on my Bianchi that were almost identical in size to the 25's they replaced. :notamused:

its annoying, not everyone is a weight weenie, some of us actually want a tire that is the size that companies sell them as.

the amount of things i pass just walking down the hall that set off my OCD is countless, so hard to control myself. almost did swap the tires to see if its the tire or the rim lol :twitchy:

Weighed my Madison, 18.8 lbs not too shabby.

That's pretty much typical for a high quality butted steel track bike. My 2011 49cm Soma Rush weighs 18.5 pounds with a front brake and two steel strap-on bottle cages and my vintage 1975 Schwinn Paramount P14 track bike weighs 17.4 pounds with tubular wheels and tires.

I just got some new 27x1 Pasela's and I swear they are bigger than the 27x1-1/8 Specialized tires they replaced.

What saddle is that?

Nice bike, a bit jelly about the weight. I have never owned a bike under 25lbs. And to make matters worse, that frame looks like it would fit me. Kudos!

new paselas must be on the fat side now, i am pleased by this.

Oh goody, been quite awhile since "What my bike weighs" got any play around here ;)

Yeah, yeah - I know our bikes' weights don't really matter to us hardcore fixie bois, but what the hell...

And you have a very beautiful bike oouellette...

They've been known to measure small in the past, but seem to be pretty close to accurate now.

Also: between the last couple of those posts and that "Madison Love" thread, I think I need one. :)

^^I just mounted a set of Schwalbe Little Big Bens, they are sold as 40s and mine miked out at 38mm. Close enough I guess.

I almost got that one. What do you think about it?

lol no. Grill Em All
