  1. That's a no from me dog
  2. Great, now the dogs are going after Fulmer Cup too
  3. I've been there... it blows. Thank god my across the street neighbor ran an extension cord to run my fridge and fans. CSB was without power for 28 days! Turns out I'm at the end of a short hence very low priority run and my transformer was toast. Fuck you FPL
  4. Or, and hear me out... just get it wrapped...
  5. psa: Fess Parker Chardonnay for $13.xx is a good deal if your store has it
  6. So that's going to be an impossible question for me to answer right now. When I decided to build up a bike I wanted to use parts I had lying around or already on the frames themselves. Rebuild the headset, rebuild the hubs, and bodge something together that was nice to ride, cheap (using what I've already got), and lo key cool. (Also I want to get the shit I don't use out of the garage!) So Gruppo? HA! I'm not even sure what some of the parts are, so think of it more like curating a rolling parts bin in a bike. but even that is not going well at the moment
  7. one more bike porn pic
  8. Only upshot is BigVOLdaddy... always check his videos after a heartbreaking Vols loss. Start watching @4:20 or so
  9. Not going SS, probably 1x9 I'd kill for an old Yeti ARC or FRO. A friend of mine had a FRO, it was the nicest riding bike I've ever been on. I still think about that bike.
  10. My money would be on bullshark... I would bet the house against the shark being 12'-15' CSB I've seen a big Tiger up close, a shark like that looks like a 70's Cadillac just gliding through the water. It's unreal that something that big just glides by you can see it but you can't otherwise feel something that big moving through the water 5' from you. Other worldy terror.
  11. What's your point? It seems like you think the EPA is a joke, but then post articles that support the EPA's efficacy and importance. The EPA sets guidelines that local municipalities are supposed to follow. If anything, it seems like you're advocating for expanded EPA control and oversight. And if you are, I agree.
  12. Even so, the sharks kill fewer people, probably because they know the truth... people are the worst
  13. does the EPA run your water treatment?... oh wait
  14. You know what is in a lake? https://www.cdc.gov/naegleria/about/index.html "Typically, fewer than 10 people a year in the United States get PAM. Nearly everyone who gets PAM dies from it." ameba > shark
  15. baked bean balaclava
  16. I think this about sums it up... "I'm fed up of personal agendas and jockeying for position," he(Sir Robert Buckland) added, warning that the upcoming Tory leadership contest was "going to be like a group of bald men arguing over a comb".
  17. now at 410
  18. tooth decay or push/pull doors
  19. Got it stripped down to the frame. PSA if you are going to install stuff on a bike use some %$@#!$% grease! The cranks and the drive side BB cup did NOT want to come off. I might need to use the vice to get the peddles off too. Here she is... she's got a fat ass, but she's light AF. I tried to find a place to Hot Tank the frame and just start over on the paint... but that's a no go so far. I think I'm going to prep and rattle can over the bare spots. No dings or deep scratches, but this factory paint job is absolute shit. Some of the paint is just flaking off. meh... it'll add to the character.
  20. want to bet? Klein was known for his funky tube shapes also the stamped the logo near the dropouts see image below Bike thieves are in the running for the fucking worst humans on the planet. I just don't want to give them a reason to even think it might be worth pinching. I want it to look like a beater walmart special, but ride like dream. I'll keep it locked up, but I don't want to have to worry too much about it either. Just don't want disk for a casual bike. I have some nice light old levers laying around. less weight, less rotating mass, less unsprung weight, less hassle (bleeding), less noise, shorter cable runs. Do they stop as well as disk? nope but that's ok. Yup gonna use the Klein. Have a Salsa fork I'm going to put on it and see how stupid it looks. But it'll tame the geometry.
  21. CSB: Back in the early 00s I put together a company in Grenada and was looking at buying some of the smaller private islands for development or resale. White Island just SE of Carriacou was one of the targets. Fucking beautiful and remote but ultimately the geology wasn't right and the politics, welp that's a whole 'nother thing entirely. I can assure you that everything but the volcanic plug was under water... Very flat and low Still for sale... $9.5 mill (IIRC it was ~1.6 back in the day)
