Car dealers literally mask their new car designs in optical illusions for road testing. So the public eye and competitors have a harder time getting the scoops.

For example:

See it all the time when I ride on the PCH

So weird :crash:

Customs. Clearing times vary a lot. I had a package take 7 days to clear customs in LA once. A month later I ordered more of the same thing from the same vendor and it cleared customs within hours of arrival. Koo koo.

How do Thomson bars feel? I've always wondered how bars that expensive would feel haha

I actually don't know what the bars are, as my dad had them painted to hide the logos.

Also, this is the coolest disruptive camo =

Today I feel surprisingly fresh after doing a relatively quick century yesterday (5:45 moving time and a few top 10 trophies). Forcing myself to stick to the plan of a rest day / easy recovery ride tonight, even though I'm really tempted to do the wolfpack hustle ride...

Planned out the caadx build.

Wasn't too excited about it. I'm most likely not going to go bike camping anytime soon, and I'd only do fire roads and gravel stuff. Caad have held a soft spot in my heart, and I had an itch to build a bike again.

Nagrom_ 05-18-15 09:48 PM

The caadx is my fault lol.

Yeah, I really wish I'd quit doing that too.

I think I have to finish the GT just so I'll stop getting bugged about it Hahahah.

Dannihilator 05-18-15 10:01 PM

Hey nagrom, have you finished the GT yet? ;) :D

It really is. I had no idea about it until you showed me the craigslist link.

Nagrom_ 05-18-15 10:43 PM

Then I failed to realize the pic you showed me an hour later was actually the frame in your hands hahaha. You're fast bro.

TenSpeedV2 05-18-15 11:06 PM

Rode 33 miles and it felt great. Nice night for a ride.

Nagrom_ 05-18-15 11:26 PM

Is it muggy and raining over there? We've been having those muggy rainy days lately. I hate those.

Mumonkan 05-19-15 07:41 AM

yeah, typical nyc swamp heat bull****

T13 05-19-15 08:01 AM

Yeah, the worst. Ferns growing outta yer shorts while yer riding, and yer face feels like you just washed it with a slice of pizza.
