Frame?

Lol

Thanks.

No, my back definitely isn't adjusted properly haha. I was borrowing it from my dad. In addition to fitting weird, it's a little small (50L). I'm thinking of purchasing my own in the ~65L range and having it fitted at the store, for future trips.

I can't believe you let it go. Didn't ride it much? :(

Not very much at all. Which made me a little more sad than letting go of it.

today's ride put me at 1,005km for the month so far. feeling good.

^
nice

Drove a car for the first time in over 3 weeks. Side note. My bike does not fit in my car very well.

Today I leave for Tokyo. I may check out Blue Lug if I'm in the area -- I'm a huge fan of their builds and it'd be cool to check them out in person...

I partied with those guys once. also the guys from circles. was rad.

Farted around on the puch.

Found a set of Shimano 7401 pedals locally in awesome condition with new hardware/cleats. Going to pick them up tomorrow.

Those things are incredibly heavy. Cast lead, I'm pretty sure.

Why would one want those pedals...?

No doubt, just get some r540s for $40, cleats included:
Amazon.com: Shimano SPD-SL PD R-540 - Black

If you shop around, you can probably get the 105s for $50

Shimano cleat hardware is black now, and it looks so goddamn sleek

I'm only paying $20 for the set. They weigh as much as my current metal platform/cage/strap.

Needs 2 model generations more :D

How much you end up paying for the R32?

Today I ate six slices of pizza.

i had 5, you win!

I built up a single speed bike for a buddy. We bartered for some electrical work. I quite like bartering.

I feel your pain.

Pardon my fat ass friend locking up at his shop after we tinkered with the exhaust.

Farty miles per gallon? Forty MPG files?

definitely need a different car. 25 years ago I had a Porsche 911 and could only carry the bike on a roof rack. The 911 went-got to keep your priorities straight:)

Late August 2012. Traded in my Audi A4 for that Mustang. Had wanted one since I was a kid. My mom had a 67.5 way back in the day and lots of my friends had them. Never had the chance. Moved out of the house that my wife was living in and started my life over again. Turned 40 the next month. Call it a mid life crisis, call it whatever you want. I call it starting over.

Mid September - driving to work on a nice warm fall day. Younger attractive woman with dreads pulls up at the light next to me in a Prius. I am minding my own business, windows down, music on. She screams over to me...."Hey, you are killing the f&(king environment with that thing!!!!) That night I got on the web and was looking for a F&(K your Prius sticker just for that lady when I chanced upon a site that sold funny car stickers. I found one that said 40+ MPG. I bought it, and it was born. The plate came a short while later. 40MPG was not available so I had to make do with FRTYMPG. I ditched the plate last year.
