How much of it on the bus? Don't you have trains?

SMH.

Traction is key.

You get a lot of carp in Knoxville? We got some in the canals here. Apparently there are white amur also, whatever that is.


Types of fish in Arizona canals

Most commonly, you'll catch carp and white amur in our waterways. Per Arizona fishing regulations, all white amur must be immediately released back into the water unharmed. These weed-eating fish are part of a program at SRP to help keep the canals clean and clear without using chemicals or machinery.

Vegetarian fish. VV can relate.

Get the 810-equipped bike.

Current parts availability will make the other options too frustrating.

phrantic09 I haven't read ahead but I agree. Groupset priority seems to be focused on complete bikes. Get what you want where ever you can.

After a lovely night sleeping in the airport I had to take a uber from JFK to LGA to catch the earliest flight home.

The uber driver felt the need to slam on the brakes whenever his wheels encountered water as if that would some how prevent hydroplaning. Keep in mind it was raining during the drive, so a lot of brake action. Thank full it was 4 in the morning and the roads were empty.

A restful night of bizarre dreams really helps. :rolleyes:

We have a lot of small man-made drainage ditches and they are full of carp. I was working on a bridge many years ago and one of the workers made a hook from a piece of tie-wire or nail, baited it with corn from the field, tied the hook to string and spent his lunch time catching 12"-15" carp and throwing them back in the water. I've never seen a grown man laugh so much.

It’s a stay in bed kind of day. Alas, work calls.

Messy Monday commute. Luckily the roads here are just wet, with lots of slush on the ground.

The shop I was going to pick it up from sold it while I was still suffering from indecisiveness.

I did however, order some Zipp 303S for the bike I don’t yet have… my wife is going to love that

She doesn’t get that if I don’t use them I can probably offload them for more than I paid once the PBK sale is over “I don’t know why you want wheels sitting around in a box”

mvnsnd 01-17-22 07:25 AM

17 inches of snow on the ground this morning and an expected 8 more through the day. Roads were not good on the way to work, but hopefully better to go home at noon.

I mean, you could throw them on the Giant until a new bike rolls in... :D

What are you planning on for tires? If you still have some POEA around, I'd be interested to hear if yours stay bead-locked when deflated. None of the three that I used on the Zipps would stay put, but if Schwalbe tweaked their bead diameter or something, I'd love to run another set of 'em.

honestly that may be the main bike while I wait for an Aspero. I want to offload the R3 while I can still get a premium. I mean- the pros closet offered me 3K cash which is what I paid for it.

Was actually thinking of those or 5000S TR if I can find them
