I think a co worker of mine who lives in Austin is going to fly out and drive with me to Dallas. I really don’t want to stop, so I am hoping we can push through.

Do you remember that tree limb that the ice storm earlier this week brought down on my garage?

Aw, geez! I mentioned a couple days ago that somebody's selling a 1989 Schwinn Circuit in my size, after I spent all that time and effort getting a frame in my size with no fork and a larger frame with a fork, and then taking all that down to a framebuilder in the Southbay who has now cut and rethreaded the fork so I have a full frame and fork in my size to swap the parts form the whole bike that's too small for me?
Well, last I knew they were wanting $500 + $80 to ship. Now they're down to an initial bid of $300 + $80. If that had been listed 3 weeks ago, I'd have jumped on it.

Stupid Question of the day:
How much do you think I would notice running a left hand 172.5 and a right hand 175mm?
Might be able to get a power meter for a good price and would run it until I could get proper cranks.

I don't know how much you would notice it, but I expect it would be an "oh, hell no", for me.

My concern would be that it might not feel too weird but might cause weirdness with the joints. I have no particular reason to think that, though.

I don’t ride the checkpoint everyday. It would just be temporary until I could find some cranks, I just didn’t know if it would be crazy or if maybe it wouldn’t even really be a bother.
My cranks were installed not aligned on my emonda and I prolly rode 350 miles like that. It felt weird but I couldn’t figure it out.
