FOR SALE: Tina's Ultra Sick Travel Bike

Originally described in this post. Man we hate to see this one go, but it should be on adventures, and Tina has determined that her "Dropout is just too perfect to not ride all the time". LONG LIVE THE DROPOUT. At any rate, we need to make room so here we are.

$2350 WITH the travel case that can be worn as a backpack. It's killer!

The frame - BENOTTO rear, ELLIS front, VANILLA fork - 56cm square. It's a track frame to the marrow.

100mm NITTO Pearl stem with cro-moly NITTO bars.
ALL-CITY hubs to Velocity Aeros. 32 hole.
Sugino 75 cranks with a Phil BB.
King headset.
Gran Compe post.
Wipperman chain.
700x25 RibMos and room for a fart. Should probably have 23's.

Few miles since we built it up.

Here are new photos -

All I've got to say is that Andy knocked it out of the park on this one. Holy shit is this amazing.

Hopefully I'll be in the running to win this bad boy.

Favorite Things: Craft Active Glove

IMG_2071

I've been using these gloves since the middle of last winter, they are minimally bulky and retail for around $50. I've got thousands of miles in them, and so far they are none the worse for wear. I use them for temperatures between 30 and 10 degrees, though they are best suited for 15-20.

I've ridden down to zero with them on occasion and while I wasn't exactly warm, all my digits survived. I now carry a set of Gore liner gloves with me in case I get caught out there with the wrong equipment. I can layer them under these with no problem, plenty of room now that the padding has gotten broken in from use.

Highly recommended.

Did some screen printing in the morning and then my back went out on me. Nothing acute that I can point to, all of a sudden it just started aching, and my spine went into an s-curve. I've had a shitty back since high school hockey so it's nothing new, but the bummer obviously is that Stupor Bowl is this weekend and I'd like the chance to once more defend my crown and attempt a 3-peat.

I've spent the past few days at home laid up, so we'll have to see how it goes. Going to try to ride the bike tomorrow, though I can't sit in a chair for more than a minute without a ton of pain. Wish me luck.

Pacific Blue

I remember, being so stoked on this show in junior high. Here's a Hans Rey's guest appearance. Anybody know who the other stunt rider is? I believe that Brian Lopes used to stunt on this show, but I don't think it's him.
