howbout pantograph?

Today I gonna brifter a Denali for a customer.

This brings up another great Co-op memory! Somebody had come in and donated a drilliumed bike. It looked like and most likely was just eyeballed with a hand drill and cleaned with a countersink bit. It was terrible! There was a similar one on eBay not too long ago too.

Today I put in 65 miles.

Interview at a shop in Berkeley tomorrow.

The hell do I wear to an interview at a bike shop?

I'd work the Cipollini angle.

#guaranteedinstanthire

full rapha kit.

If only I could afford it.

which shop?

Berkeley Bike Station on Shattuck.

Full-time professional job: suit and tie
Part-time job: slacks, with decent shoes, and a button up shirt, tie optional

For an interview at a bike shop, I'd probably also bring a shirt to change into in case they ask you to do a bit of work to show you know what you're doing.

Finished a 200k brevet under the full moon, and turned 50. Yesterday, actually.

This man knows.

Today I bought some sneakers. Riding to work in my Dr Martens every day is giving me some not-so-awesome athlete's foot.

you're an athlete?! COOOOOL!

Got the foot, must be.

today i steam purple sticky rice and try to make these

i need a bigger saucepan, steaming sticky rice is time consuming especially when you gotta do it in like 10 small batches

How does some nice dark denim and a mechanics shirt/polo sound?

And shoes, I have no in between. Have skate shoes, and wing tips out the ass, but nothing in the middle.
Sperry's? haha.

Are any of the skate shoes clean/relatively newish? I'm sure it will be fine. Just look neat and presentable, like you care about getting the job and put some thought and effort into making a good impression.

If it's as hot in NY as it is here, **** cooking anything inside - especially steaming.

probably hotter, im just a glutton for punishment

my buddy made those for us when we did our 200k (HALF GRAVEL ON 26C TIRES LOLOL) from school back to my home in the chi burbs. i ate like 5 of them, they were soooo good.

new (to me) wheelset came in - thanks scrod.

so that meant foregoing sleeping this afternoon before work and swapping out my current ones

they feel significantly lighter and look so so much better too.. anticipating a better ride.

now just waiting for the cog and lockring yusss

the waiting game.

Maybe I'm weird, but I would roll in with normal attire. I work as an auto body tech and if you rolled into a shop asking for a job in a suit and tie, you would be laughed out of the place.

As someone going for a job to be an apprentice, only thing that really matters is enthusiasm/passion and well, it seems silly to drive to a bike mechanic interview.
