I used to do the same. Didn't have to fire it up since I have a big tank that stays filled all the time (electronic drain valve lets out any moisture). But not having a Presta chuck really made it a PITA dealing with the adapters and stuff. So then I got a cheaper pump from Walmart, the seal on the pump head wore out in a few months, so then just recently picked up a Bontrager pump from the LBS. So much better now.

Just ordered a Vuelta Corsa Pro Road Wheelset, Ultegra 9-speed cassette, chainwhip, and lockring tool. Last week I hit a pothole at 25 MPH and put a small dent in my front wheel. The LBS was able to true it up for me but now it's hoppy when I'm braking. Going to use the old wheelset for the trainer / backup (just in case).

Bikes: One brand-less build-up, and a Connondale Synapse Carbon Ultegra Disc. A nicer bike than I need, but it was a good deal, so... ;-)

A new Adidas sleeveless Jersey for my wife. Spotted it brand-new at a local resale clothing store. $5. They had no idea what it was.
Picking up a pair of shorts and a Bento box for her tomorrow. She's getting seriously into riding, and I want to reward her.

Hold Fast pedal straps. Been riding with platforms (VP Thin Gripsters) since I got my road bike a little over a year ago. My friends all say the straps will be a "gateway drug" to clipless.....

The first part of my wife's new MTB build has arrived. Pictures don't do the anodized purple justice.

Finally tried out my new employee discount. I work for Vail Resorts which owns Bicycle Village. Picked up two jerseys, a hat, and Hammer Endurolytes and some GU electrolyte drink mix.

Just purchased a 2013 Kona Paddy Wagon and upgraded the tires with Continental Ultra Gatorskin tires, as well as a cable to lock up both tires.

Will do. I don't have much to compare them to though other than the stock ones that came on my used Motobecane (alex wheels). The reviews on nashbar were almost all postive though.
