Oh, one of my club mates has a custom Jaegher bike, stainless steel but painted frame, with a 1x12 and the fancy 2 speed Classified rear hub option. I noticed it looks like it could fit me, so I suggested we could swap bikes sometime.
It looks beautiful, I did not ask the price but I suspect it’s 5-figures.

Is your shirt a reference to your body position or untrue statements?

Actually, I purposefully am wearing a Phillies shirt today, it's a strategic move.
I always like to wear old comfy tee shirts, but we are going out to dinner to a semi-nice Japanese restaurant tonight for mrs datlas and it seems that uptight people will give me a bit more latitude on the unspoken dress code if I am supporting the local baseball team.

Good news=My Giro Helios is ready for pickup at the REI near my NJ office, where I just happen to be working tomorrow.
Bad new=After I ordered it my ex told me she bought one and the chin strap sucks.
We shall see. At least I can try it on and get my 💰 back if I don’t like it.

Spent about 2 hours replacing the water pump and belt in my truck last night/this morning.
After letting the RTV on the gasket cure for a while I did a leak check. Everything seemed happy until I let it come up to temp and sit there for a while, then gave it a bit of throttle up to around 4k. Felt a lot of roughness and steam started pouring out of the hood. Pump housing cracked, belt is shredded, and now I get to worry there is something else wrong.
Cars are so stupid.
