Man, I finally find a halfway decent price on my favorite cheepo wheels and they're on some site I've never heard of ![Frown](images/smilies/frown.gif)
Wonder if I should roll the dice, help out the Italian economy...

She knows that NYU is never going to give her the traditional college campus (complete with frisbee and frat houses) experience, right? Like the stuff you see in the movies? And you know that you are going to be tossing her into the middle of Manhattan, right?
Also, she may or may not be surrounded by ultra-wealthy kids from all over the world who may or may not have cheated/bribed their way into the school (but I think that could be said about a lot of schools these days). I'm just thinking that USC might provide more immediate opportunities to get into trouble, but that would be more typical and 'harmless' college trouble, whereas the City could potentially provide a completely different level of trouble altogether...

So I’ve cut my staff at work to a skeleton crew so as to minimize human to human interactions. We are down to zero redundancy with a spirit of each of us might need to work a little harder to keep our colleagues safe. I’ve been told to start thinking about who might have to go if there needs to be layoffs. (Angst.)
Then today I get into work and there’s some unknown person sitting there for rounds.
Who are you? I ask.
New technician for my department. Starting training.
WTF?
What about the maybe layoffs? And how does it make sense to train someone when right now we’re not doing anything the normal ways we do things?
PS when I drove out of my neighborhood on the way to work today, I saw three of my cycling friends out for a ride together. #probablygotcoffeetoo

Did you look for decals on eBay? It's trademarked so it comes from overseas.

Looked briefly on ebay. Lots of spermy designs. Not much else. I'll chat with/shoot an email to Hayes/Reynolds and look more later.

Ah - yeah, that's the group mentioned in the email. I guess they're just finally getting around to consolidating their brands under the Hayes umbrella. I hadn't heard of them previous to the email.

It's almost exactly what you just posted, only remove the valve decal and move the Reynolds to right by the valve.

Though going disc would give me the opportunity to finally do away with spoked wheels and my anxious OCD about breaking one.
And you thought you thought the Campy wheels were ugly! I don't mind these, but I think I have less concern than true roadies.

A rider’s air plume has got to over 10’, especially at speed. It’s probably not a great analogy, but sailing upwind, if you’re behind and a little to leeward of another boat, i.e., downwind, you can feel the mechanical effect of bad air up to about seven boat lengths away. The higher the wind speed, the further..
