fatter is faster.

Speak on, brother!!!!!!!!!! If anyone wants a set of brand new gators in 23c I have some and I will give you a good deal.

I wouldn't ride Gator 23s for free.

Today I did 50 miles. When I got to my door and checked Strava it said 49.4, so I had to get back on the bike and go around the neighborhood a bit to make it legit.

Get at me.

i also rode 50 miles today...on the rivendell. testing out the albatross bars.

Like them? I've never done distance on anything but drops.

love them. for this bike, they're the perfect bar. no wonder 99% of rivendells go out with an albatross..

Today I went on my weekly grocery shopping trip on my bicycle. Made it home with minimal damage to the sensitive/delicate food items. It can be done!

:thumb: Eggs on top and watch out for potholes.

Hahahahahaha. I read that too fast and I thought you said "Watch out for potatoes". I was like, WTF is he talking about.?

Oh potatoes are durable, you don't have to worry about them at all.

I would, so...

if you would consider letting them go for the shipping cost - let me know :innocent:

Laid dibs on those Gators already. :)

Today I put the matching wheelset back on the Felt so it looks totally fixie foo again. On a different bike, these would look sweet, but on this bike it is a bit of overkill matchy matchy. Really wish I could find them in black.

Enjoy 'em...

Today I: preordered my '18 subaru STI

Thanks to the subaru forums and their insiders, I was done in under 30 minutes for under sticker with extra goodies thrown in.

The look of despair on their faces when I offered their exact dealer invoice amount to start off negotiations was priceless.
It definitely hurts the dealer's margin when you're an educated buyer with the exact same information they have.

Today.. I was supposed to go on a 55mile ride but I got so f-cking wiped out from 5k of climbing within the first 20 miles on rutty fire roads that I gave up. :mad:

Brought the wrong bike with wrong gearing as well which certainly didn't help the situation. Really frustrating to say the least.

Sweet!

I just wish they'd look better.. When does it arrive?

IMO the additional front bumper accenting helps complete the look on the outside. I wish they didn't incorporate fogs into the headlight assemblies themselves and left them outside toward the bottom extremities of the bumper though.

They focused most of their efforts on the interior/ noise reduction/ suspension from early reviews with this mid-generation refresh.

I just received an email from Subaru of America giving an ETA for the last week of September. I guess that's what happens when they make them in Japan and ship them over here on boat.

Sweet! The wait will go a lot faster than you think.

I am curious what the forums / insiders shared with you to get such a smashing deal..

I did already PM TenSpeedV2 about them but if for some reason he does a mind change I will keep you second on the list. It is a yuuge list, it has all the best people on it, your gonna love it ; )

definitely post a pic when you get it, should be way cooler than my legacy!

Today I am passing on the GatorSkins.

Today I made some changes to my TK2:

Removed - Cinelli Pepper risers, Felt 100mm stem
Added - Zipp Vuka aero bars, FSA SL-K 90mm stem, Cygolite HotShot Pro 150, front brake

Already hate how it looks with a brake but my ability to skid or skip stop is pretty damn poor so I need something. Partially has to do with my lack of actually knowing how to skid and the fact that I run a pretty big gear for daily street riding.

Cool and congrats! Too bad you don't live closer. I'm a Subaru Ambassador and I could have given you some Subie swag!
Did you ask around for an Ambassador coupon on the forums?

Today I played on the track. Totally exhausted now.
