as a single bro, its good to hear reminders from my locked up bros how they wish they were single some times. but this bed is so lonesome..then again, my hobbies are so awesome
i just bought a third bike and may start taking karate classes. aint no bitch telling me I cant. HA
date women that are interested in the same things you are? my boyfriend and I were into cycling separately... and now we do it together. it's nice to be able to go on 50+ mile rides with someone you get to fuck at then end of it. I find a lot of men are more interested in finding women that they need to convert into appreciating their particular hobbies. some men seem to even enjoy this sure to failing/disappointing process. I say, you'd be a lot happier with what you can get/have if you look for ladies in the departments of your life that you'd like to keep around and are already happy with.

ayo. I know this is a bit rudimentary for most in this thread, but I'm buying a bike to commute to work. Only riding 3 miles each way, and trying to keep the price below $700. I'm looking at:
I'm wide open to other options as well, but not interested in fixed gear / single speed. I've heard all 3 ride really similar, and the Bianchi style definitely appeals to me, but I'd like to get something reliable.
Suggestions?
The Bianchi is pretty gorgeous, but I'm partial to anything Italian made in the cycling world.
I think a road bike is a good idea, but I wouldn't rule out an option of a single speed with a decent ratio set up. you could find a vintage lugged road frame with comfortable geometry (probably with a fork pairing) and fix it up for under $400. if you're really only going to be riding minimally, it's kind of silly to spend more. and if you are going to be riding more than you're saying, then you'll end up spending over $700 in the end-so you might as well start now. oh, and bring an extra shirt with you or keep one at work. you're going to be sweating more than you'd like, either way.

if you cut me off, honk at me to get over, refuse to space the legal 3 feet in between me and yourself while passing me in your fucking 2 ton motor vehicle of any model and make-while I'm on my bicycle-I WILL spray you in the face with brown color dyed water.

Photo from the Pace Bend 2011 race about a month ago. developed it myself. kind of love the winner's expression (even though you can only see his open mouth)

I repped you. getting me excited for World Naked Bike Ride Day... which is coming up soon, I think !
Concerning leather bar tape and all that jazz – I'm a big fan of velo-orange's elkhide sewn-on bar covers, here:Caveat Emptor – it requires hand-sewing, about 2 hours worth. Comfy. However, if you regularly ride 40/50+ miles, I would suggest pre-wrapping using a layer of normal gel tape, and then sewing on the elk-hide.
Velo-orange also has shellac flakes thedaniway, if you'd like to shellac your gel cork. I don't know if gel cork will work, you should probably use a cork only wrap but anybody else have any input?
Also – I am DEFINITELY buying a Surly Pugsley and slapping Large Marge wheels on there and a fixed gearset for winter. Trying to bike around in skinnies in 10º and ice was a recipe for disaster.
I have a friend that rides the Pugsley with Large Marge wheels, and it's a fuck ton of fun to ride... even when the weather is nice...
so you're saying get the regular Cinelli cork tape and Amber shellac it vs. Cinelli gel cork tape. got it. that's fine. it will be cheaper that way anyhow. and I ride about 100+ miles a week, so thanks for the advice on the sew-on wraps

Those are good pictures thedaniway ...
thanks! more from the same roll...

Shellac is your friend.
is this leather bar tape? my boyfriend said it looked like shellaced cloth tape, but it kind of looks like the cinelli leather wraps to me. either way, it's really gorgeous, and I'd like to be able to achieve something similar to this.
also... are you saying that I can just shellac my gel cork cinelli tape?

I've been riding on 52-18 forever now. started out with a freewheel, but now that I've been riding fixed for a while I'd like if I could take down the amount of force I need to put in to start my momentum. I have been told a couple times that I can get essentially the same ratio stroke with a micro? drive train... assuming that this is correct information, can anyone tell me what might translate well?

have any of you ever used the Cinelli Gel Cork Bar Tape ? the cork color would look nice with the new saddle and frame colors. just wondering about its durability/comfort/sweat absorbance.

I want one just to see how fast I could break it in.
they start forming to the azz after about 100 miles. I haven't heard of them breaking in much faster than that, but you could always try humping it. it's pretty sexy

it was a river day, and I completely forgot to bring my bag of goods. how is it that some dude in bum fuck, that isn't growing, has the dankest/cheapest supply I've encountered in Tejas this spring? such a surprisingly nice score

Which saddle? I've always wanted a Swift Ti, but can't bring myself to spend that kind of money on a non-Italian saddle.
just a B17s. I want a Finesse pretty horribly, but I'm not going to pay that much for a saddle either. I got mine for $85... not too bad

does anyone else partake in severe bike neglect whenever you're waiting for a newer, prettier, better part? Brooks saddle and Mavic open pros laced to Phils high flange track hubs in the mail for 4 days now. fuuuuuuuuck

wrote down the wrong item # on my bulk label today. instead of paying $5.49/lb for my medjool dates, I paid $2.39/lb for "deglet noor" dates. yay

as much as I'm looking for comfort, I'm also looking for a versatile style-and loose fitting jeans won't cut it. I guess, I'm not going to be so picky as to say I want raw specific denim-especially, since it's already so difficult to find a true raw women's jean that fits a slender frame...
but I'm a very slender woman. around 102lbs. so something with some stretch will be comfortable on bike
