^^ Nice Bianchi.

I guess I'm being nitpicky, but if you're gonna sticker bomb your bike, I say start at one end then work your way to the other and overlap. The gaps and random placement and of the stickers gives me OCD.

I can't decide whether to post this here or in the J/A thread but I saw this thing today. Also, note the lock job.

Seriously? I remember St. Johns being what seemed like the meth capital of the country back in the late 90s.

Big time gentrification has happened in the last decade. Everyone got pushed out to the east, Mississippi which used to be "the hood" is now just condos and white people in subarus.
