Regretted riding in 105 degree temperatures almost immediately. Almost shed a few tears of joy a few hours later once I was a block away from home again.

Finally found the time to turn most of the parts and frames I'd accumulated over the winter into complete bikes.

Not much here, but finally the right color tape and 6400 pedals:

Wish I was like 5" shorter. Highlighter yellow looks muted compared to this thing.

Saw a couple with a matching pair of the target 85 dollar single speeds, phone was dead so I couldnt get a picture. Also, picking up the keys to the new house tomorrow so I can start spending my money on bike parts again.

Pretty sure I'm going to be buying a Kona Unit SS 29er from a friend. This is going to be sick and I can always gear it up if I don't like SS.

They start around $1000. The 2011 was around the same I believe as I had the same one, but got the employee discount so dont know the exat price it was worth. But depending on the condition I would jump on that. They are great bikes.
