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? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

damn, seems like a few people who have gotten custom bikes end up selling them in a relatively short amount of time, but i get it

also: SO SOON!

She must've tried to n-1 the man.
On the flip side, better now than later; there's plenty out there!

started another new job, after the crazed debacle that was my recent transfer (bait and switch to meet staffing requirements, at my expense).

seems pretty cool at the new place, and there is another bike commuter. although i have to help him put together a tool kit so he doesn't have to take his bike to the shop for a flat.

Today I got some clothes for my first gay wedding.

Also, I made some pretty nifty bottle openers/keychains out of some length of gold Izumi Eco chain and some worn cassette cogs. Long shot, but am poor so: $10 USD shipped anywhere in cont. U.S. Buy my stuff bros. Give it to girls and be not single anymore or something.

Also also, I watched the new Refn film, Only God Forgives. Holy ****. I really don't know what to think but man, it was brutally violent.

1. Pics?

2. I thought OGF was pretty great. Heavy on the brutality and light on the actual acting (except Kristin Scott Thomas, who was fantastic as usual), but so visually striking and stylishly directed that I enjoyed the hell out of it.

1. Tomorrow, I'll upload for ya. Busy beer-ing right nao. If you haz instagram you can just PM me and I'll give it to you, pics on there.

2. I dunno who KST is, but if it's the mom, I didn't find her believable. Gonna give it another watch though. Overall, I'd give it a thumbs up. I think the ending is what turns most people off - then again very, very few people actually have. Refn always does incredibly well aesthetically and this was no exception.

Sensation of falling frontwards head first is pretty weird. Luckily my feet both unclipped I guess, or else that would have been a lot nastier. Culprit was a 40-something Asian women, luckily she was totally fine, but didn't even say sorry or admit fault, kinda lame. Other than being scraped up, my bike is fine, but... ugh.

Yesterday I drove an hour each way for a craiglist deal. It was the only day it hasnt rained in the passed 4 days. The deal fell through because the guy lied and tried to sell me 650b wheels like they were 700c thinking I wouldn't notice (I even asked him if they were 700c in the first email). Now its supposed to rain again today. Anyway after the failed trip, I got home and a box was waiting for me. Hate on haters, real photos and a little review to come if it ever stops raining.

Hopefully you spent less than 3 grand on it.
