Start a build thread. I don't think anyone would complain about watching this one come to life. I know I'd dig watching every step.

That Colnago model is rad.

Today some dude called the shop asking what would be the best thing to clean his fixie tires with. Then he called back a few minutes later to ask if we had different colored valve caps. Then he called again to ask if we had colored "grip tape".

I hope he meant bar tape and he's not putting actual grip tape on his bike.

Actually, it'd be kind of cool if you did sell him grip tape and he just took it since he sounds pretty clueless.

i have griptape on my brake levers and shifter/fork lockout

Hey now!

To be honest, that sounds like a pretty good idea.

LesterOfPuppets 07-14-16 05:55 PM

I would love to see griptaped handlebars. Tell 'em it's an old Portland messenger trick, excellent grip in the rain.

seau grateau 07-14-16 06:12 PM

Put grip tape on your saddle so you can have a sick downward slant without sliding off. #protip

protip from pro downhill bike checks, so good

and one roll will last you basically forever and cost you nothing

SpeshulEd 07-14-16 06:34 PM

Hey all, Price Point has $1 tubes again, just an fyi.

Today I had a panic attack when I rebooted my new iPhone and it wouldn't recognize my passcode. I kept trying and then stopped for fear that it would lock my phone. Then I found a scrap of paper where I wrote it down, and realized that I had transposed two numbers. Big relief ! Found out that everytime you shut down and reboot, you have to reenter the passcode and Apple ID again before you can use Touch ID (fingerprint reader). Technology, man !

Just make sure you use Mob grip, no one wants Jessup.

Today I decided to cut my seattle trip short so instead of 4 days/350 miles I'm just gonna do 3 days/250 miles. So excited to be back home and sleeping in my own bed.

Don't get me started... [Rant]The last two weeks I've had to sand miniature aluminum castings of sculptures we're building. Management is overly cautious and won't let me use anything coarser than 40 grit, which they were even hesitant to let me use (they wanted me to use 80 grit from the start on the raw castings). An even bigger pain in the ass since I'm constantly welding on them to fill air pockets, low spots, and nicks on the edges. So, I need to be able to really remove metal :foo:

Here's one where I had pad a big area that was too low to sand down to.

Here I had to fix up the edge and fill a low area

BTW, welding on cast aluminum is ****. [/Rant] :)

The best part was when Angie asked, "You mean bar tape?" and he responded, "Uh, no. Grip tape for bullhorns." like he knew something she didn't. :lol:

I've never met Angie before, but I'm pretty sure I can picture the look on her face after that comment.
