I'm not sure what to expect from a halloween critical mass.

I'm not sure what to expect from a halloween critical mass.

A bunch of dudes dressed like chicks and vice versa. Shit i don't know how that is any different than any other critical mass. Maybe more face paint and masks while blocking up traffic?

Haha, i love getting parts at cost...

Dura-ace 15t track cog
two 27x1.25 tires + tubes
new kmc chain
multi spoke wrench
crank arm remover
$34 total haha

So im offically pretty set. I redished my rear wheel got the track cog on and all my other new shit. Im running my time platform/clipless pedals cause i didnt want to pay for clips quite yet. I might throw on a smaller front spricket though... its a little tough for all the hiss we have here. (42-15)

And i love it. Cant skid though, i unscrew the cog :(

Deep v's on formulas for x-mas?

I finally took Andy's advice and bought some tighter than my normal Diesel jeans. Now I dont even have to roll up my pants leg!
Thanks Andy!

Me and my girlfriend did a nice 17.3 Mile ride tonight around LA. Here's a nice little GPS map of our route.

[Jand3rson]

And again...

[löwenbröke]

i'm not much for most langsters for some reason..


btw.. i bought a bike today. :evil grinz:

i'll get some pics if it stops RAINING.

[Jand3rson]

I want the Felt, or the Aragon. I love that style of frame, that's why I'm getting a Leader.

[löwenbröke]

yea smooth. i'm down w/ aerospokes esp. on frames similar to that.

this is essentially the bike i picked up today, but my crank and hubs are polished.


edit: my wheels aren't black either.

i don't really like the geometry of the stock bars, but that's my only beef so far, and was plannin on changin them anyways.. gotta pull the rear brake off, and ride the hell out of it. that's about it for now.. :D

[löwenbröke]

some quick pics since i'm stuck inside... :(

I was just out riding and we had a random downpour of rain here in LA. It came out of no where. We NEVER get rain here, so when it does rain the streets are turned into a giant OIL slick.

Anyways, I made a nasty right hand turn and both tires slid out from under me. I slid into oncoming traffic on my side, my bike went to lane 1, I laid in lane 2 next to my sunglasses and hat. Road tires suck balls in the oil/rain.

Road rash to the MAX. My entire right side is fucked up. From my shoulder down to my hip. Pics once these bruises develop.
