Didn't receive a pm, but I'm definitely interested in getting in on this. Spots still available?

I'm so in if this happens...

And oh, definitely liking those measurements as well...

i'm not into fixed gear bikes but i think this is wrong...

wrong in SO many ways...

Radiohead - In Rainbows, From the Basement

Can't get enough. Love the subtle differences between these recordings and the album.

this shit sucks.

its SOOO dry around here...

all i can get is some dirt weed, and that shit just won't fly.

Famous, wanna mail me something?

RRL measurements?

My family is normal as can be.

I've got a gay uncle and an aunt and uncle (not married) who are younger than I am. My grandparents adopted them from Bulgaria just after I was born.

Your guys' shit is crazy though. Can't imagine having family stories like that.

well...im barely pushin 140...doubt ill be ripping out any cogs, but ill definitely rotafix and lockring it just to be safe!

Color loc-tite? And you rotafix as well as lockring? Just to be safe? I thought the point of Rotafix-ing was to eliminate the need for a lockring because you apply a much higher amount of torque, etc.

quick question --

when putting my new cog/lock ring on my new hub/wheelset, what do i need besides those items? some places say loc-tite as well? any special tools?

...people do tricks with BMX bikes that cost well over a grand as well.

They aren't doing it for the sake of an image. They're doing it because they have fun and love what they're doing. If you don't like it, great. They just like riding their bikes in a different way than you might. This is just a guess, but I'm probably using my $1000+ laptop for different reasons than when you use your computer...

Nah, who am I kidding...you're desktop probably looks identical to mine...

yay for 25% cashback on ebay.

getting a new wheelset. thinking of picking up one of the ones on ebay because of the 20% cashback.

most of the wheels are:

rims - velocity deep v's

hub - Formula hubs

spokes - DT Swiss 2.0 Stainless (32)

Come to about $240 with shipping. $240 * 20% cashback = 192

Anyone have any other suggestions for a new wheelset?

Real purp will go for at least 25 a g in Northern Virginia (I'm sure a lot of dumb people will pay 35). Beasters really depends on how your connects are. A lot of people pay 20 a g for them here whereas I usually get them for sub $10.

Yeah, sounds similar to around here. IDK about 25/g for Purp though, more like 20. But you're right, some will definitely pay 25+.

Yeah, I know that...

But its just funny how more shit showed up about her when we weren't together than when we were.

I'm tired of looking at my, very recently, ex-girlfriend's Facebook activity. I'm not really sensitive about the subject, I just don't care what photos she was tagged in today...

Fuckin' Mark Zuckerberg. You'd think he'd have throw some code in or a nifty little feature that lets you hear LESS about your past significant others, not MORE, once you've split.

hate having to ask you homies prices and all, buts what "Purp" go for around your area (per g)? Beasters (per g)?

and yeah, its too bad the cwg is sporting some shitty prodo glass

captain -

How long these gatorskins usually last? Any mileage estimates? And what should I keep the psi at to prevent pops/flats -- on the lower end or higher?

Thanks for the help!

edited: Beautiful, powerviolence. Looks good...

I hate doctors too, but you should definitely hit 'em up if you're not sure...That is, if you're insured or live in a country with 'social' medicine.

I helped a bunch of random strangers replace a flat tire today. It made me feel good, like a responsible, upstanding non-American citizen.

Went for a nice long ride tonight. Lots of fun. Messed around w/ some shit in the parking lot and ended up blowing a tire...so you guys have any recommendations for some tough tires? They need to be able to handle a good bit of skids and the shitty roads I ride on. I was just riding the stock Kenda's on my TT -- pretty weak, right?

Also, recommendations for some nice fenders? I saw a pic from someone on here that had a black Kilo TT with some cool fenders on it...

Thanks for the help!

and powerviolence, how'd it happen?! Shit's weak, sorry to hear that. Hope you're alright.

freecat,

im the same. ill miss that select 4 or 5 people, but strangely enough, most of them are headed to the same university as myself, so they'll still be around.

Confession: I can't fucking wait to leave everything behind in 2 months when I go to school. I lied when I said I'd miss all those 'friends'. I'll never see them again and I'm actually happy about it.

Risotto,

I hear ya.

I work Friday/Saturday every weekend. While not double shifts, they are the typical 8-9 shifts and somehow I'm always missing something on those nights. Shit's weak.

I also hate standing for 8 hours a day at this fucking store. We are NOT ALLOWED to have chairs in here...but at least no one ever comes in so I never have to do shit...

I also hate how early the sun sets, the summer days that I have spent wasting away inside a video game store (work), and how my ex girlfriend still has my ~$150 headphones with no intention of ever returning them.

following on twitter as well!
