My cat loves my mountain bike shoes. Must be the smells from riding through brush because he is only remotely interested in other shoes. Anyway late at night he will go into the closet (hollow hardwood floors) and throw them around, sometimes throwing them out of the closet. It is quite noisy.

Our house sits a half meter above grade, in part because as we were digging the pool(before building around it), we hit bedrock before we could get deep enough. So we raised the house in order to get the extra depth. Now that same shallow bedrock is preventing the rain water from draining. We effectively have a moat around us. I feel for the many who do not live above grade. Almost the entire city of Merida, for starters. Nor does the city have storm sewers. Much less rain than this makes that city un-driveable, because every intersection, being lower than the rest of the street, becomes a lake. One time, during the early building stages, when we still lived in the city, I was returning home and got mired to the point I had to park and walk. I had the two dogs with me so I couldn't take the bus. I finally found a delivery truck, whose driver offered to lead me out to higher ground.

And are those mirrors on the bar ends? Isn't that steerer tube supposed to be cut, in order to stay out of fredland?

My bar for vanity is quite low. I nearly forgot to arrange the chain and stems for the pic. Let the legs do the talking.

This is the storefront of the guy who builds Engin frames. What you can’t see is the large complex connected to it. It was his parents’ former carpet cleaning business. (Yes. His last name ends in “ian”) Lots of machinery in their, including a CNC mill. I’m betting he wrote those words as a deterrent.

I was amazed no one was giving me stick about that sooner! I left the steerer because I never got a proper fit, then I mostly rode the P2 and never got around to it and thus the steerer remains uncut. One of these days I’ll get around to both steps. And yes, bar-end mirrors so I can keep AG in view for drafting instead off roaring off down the road.
My bar for vanity is quite low. I nearly forgot to arrange the chain and stems for the pic. Let the legs do the talking.

LesterOfPuppets and WhyFi were right - Sprintech or however it's spelled. They're so ok they're average, and get bumped out of position at every stop, but better than nothing. Price is great.

I buy Sprint Tech mirrors in a 2 pack and make wrist mirrors out of them for use with riding recumbents. They aren't very high quality but their cheap enough.
