There is a Merlin TI for sale in San Jose. Looks like it might be your size. I saw in in Ebay/Craigslist finds over in C&V.

But I already have the Ti bike I always wanted.

Thank Insurance Co's for that. Next years event coverage would have been expensive.

Am I missing something? Is there some benefit to following strangers?

I believe it's the game doing it. I get the same thing.

Stop asking......problem solved.

I shudder to think about what my collection would look like if I lived in a place where I had the access that you folks do.

No. The only time i cheat is when i get it right on the first guess.

This one was pretty easy considering the letters I got right and the ones left in the pail. Weren't many possibilities left.

Bam, you need to make yourself a Spanish coffee, snuggle up on the couch and watch Grumpy Old Men at your nearest convenience!

lumbar and thoracic (or jurassic) MRI achieved. It was 90 minutes in a closed MRI Unit.
Made me think of this.

Took the day off as a mental health day.

Now that I think about it, I don't own any wishbone seatstay bikes... #justification

I'm thinking that you probably don't own any with yellow cable housings either. #justification#2

I know it doesn't seem like it, but there actually IS method in my madness. It's a collection, not an accumulation.

I hear you. I was worried I was going to go tin man and seize up. "Oil can"

Went to LBS to get a new tire for borrowed bike as yesterday’s skid patch blowout boot is not a permanent fix. Guy used Pirelli P Zero clinchers, but the LBS had limited stock so I had to settle for a Conti Grand Prix 4 Seasons. New tire mounted easily with minimal struggle.

Have to decide between Mt Baldy or Latigo for today. Life is filled with tough choices.

The wind is supposed to ease up a bit tomorrow. Climbing Latigo with a headwind is a special kind of chore.

I was kidding. I had a good idea quickly but had a few options and chose incorrectly.

Do you know what it is? I like the look. And I like single pivot brakes.
