Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer?

Today I didn't really do anything special. Wasn't in the mood to go to school, went to lbs then work.

Getting kind of bored of my life(not in the emo way) I just want highschool to end so I can go on with my life. But i'm a senior with sophomore credits so that's not happening for probably another year.

No, it wasn't from you. I ordered something from the Chrome sale last weekend. I mean, a $100 hoodie for only 40? Who can pass that up?

I have no experience with their stuff, so I figured this would be a decent way to break the ice.

Today I nearly had a heart attack as I watched a rider almost get nailed by a car. Of course, he had run a red light and I wanted to curse at him after.

Today I fixed the bike. Noticed a clicking noise if I pulled/pushed on my bullhorn, removed the face plate on the stem and re-installed, done.

Yesterday I tensioned and trued my front wheel, ran out of time for the rear.

Today, my Mr. Pink is supposed to arrive. I will tension and true the rear wheel, and then install my headset and BB on it, then hopefully go home and finish building it.

My plans will not go as I intend though, I'm sure.

Yep. Called and badgered him to actually place the order for 2 weeks and he eventually just put it in the cart so it got ordered with some other stuff.

Nope. It's not a well-equipped, pleasant shop to work at, and the pay is ****, so I don't mind not working as long as I'm still getting deals on parts.
