And finally.....the payoff.

That prompted me to check them out.

I have a spare Formula rear hub. I thought it was shot/damaged because there was still play in the axle after I installed new bearings. Turns out I just didn't seat them well enough. Felt kinda dumb as I bought a new hub as a result.

I traded my Windsor frameset for a Front Tb14 to a DA hub and another Tb14 rim. Sweet deal.

That voids the warranty.

I used my front brake today for the first time in awhile, to avoid getting right hooked. Probably wouldn't have died without it, but it definitely would have sucked.

Still waiting. Will report back when dead.

I had some delicious Ethiopian food and did a little work on my new touring bike to prepare it for getting it more finished tomorrow (installing gevenalle levers and shifters and cabling it and doing some adjustments and hopefully wrapping bars and riding it)

Well, death is indeed a certainty. Still kicking as of now.
I don't typically ride brakeless, but the Bianchi doesn't have a brake at the moment.

Saw 8 deer this morning on my commute (bike) this morning and on the ride home used my new bell to get someone to move, only for his friend to move into my path....

For the record, all of my bikes (with the exception of the Bianchi) have brakes. It lacks them because I had disassembled it and had stolen the brake for the Parallax. I put it back together and rode it in a suburb with practically zero traffic at the time of riding. Had I committed to a longer ride than all of two miles, I'd have taken a bike that has a brake.

A natural gas explosion took out 3-4 businesses on Greenwood Ave in Seattle today. I guess a bicycle shop (Family Cyclery) got hit pretty hard too.
If you're familiar with Seattle, here is the spot....

Figure I would post this for people that might have lived in Seattle at one time or spent a lot of time there.

I'm not judging anyone. :)

Frame piggy-back. That's the best picture ever.

Argyle or die. You should have won the primary.
