A customer came into the shop last week with his new/old bike purchase. Wanted to know if he got a good deal (#41ier). First road bike. He paid $600 for a mint-condition Serotta Ti with Dura Ace. Um, yeah, he did fine.

Dangit, arborists have shown up next door. I was thinking of taking a nap, but that's obviously not in the cards.

We do need rain, though. A few more weeks like this and the water grubbers south of the border will be at it again.

Riveting bar tape, you say? Hmmmmm. Hadn't thought of that, but somebody should tell VeloVoldemort that it won't unravel that way.

i think about buying a new bike multiple times per day. i shop for a new bike daily.....
I'be been down to only 3 bikes and thought I was cured until 3 weeks ago is when I got a Merckx Motorola bike from 90s. Still have not taken it for a shakedown ride. The most notable thing I learned is how amazing the campy hubs spin!

Hey Mojo31
You think genejockey and rjones28 would be held liable for damages if I follow their faulty instructions and my bar tape comes unraveled? An intentional infliction of emotional distress claim could be be substantial.

If I ask LSS for a "smart" watch for my birthday and monitor my sleep and other vegetative functions will it improve my life?
I think maybe, but I may also just be having anxiety about not having any stress numbers for the weeks I'm going to be off the bike, traveling and sailing, this season. Without numbers I no longer feel fully there and I hate what time off the bike does to the plots.
