Rig

Its hard to find time to ride it, but its a hell of a bike. I wish it had sliding dropouts instead of the eccentric BB!

Lugged Steel

I cant ever seem to justify the need for another bike, but i want a lugged steel frame quite badly. An old Pinarello or Colnago would be nice!

Green Man

I got new wheels, some decent pedals, a crank, bottom bracket, bar tape, brakes onto the Falcon yesterday. Its finally out of the shop, and hopefully it wont be back. That bike was a pain, the bottom bracket was just over one millimeter too small and it drove me nuts. Its got some pretty cool looking lugs on it though.

Single Malt Scotch


The Glenrothes make some damn good scotch. I had some of the select reserve, and it tastes great and its smooothhh. When you get scotch there doesn't seem to be much of a middle ground.

Redline 29ers and Concussions

Yea i locked up some front brakes somehow, Brian who was right behind me doesn't even know what happened. Well i flipped over the bars and yelled "oh shit dude" and landed on my hands with a little blood here and there.
I got up to move out of the road and sit down, only to pass out moments later. My head fell backwards and slammed into the concrete with a loud thud. I woke up 10seconds later having no clue where i was or what happened. Later my parents forced me to go get a CAT scan and bullshit like that. Im A ok, i dont even have a bump on my head.
Lesson learned, dont fuck with 29ers

Skunks and Raccoons

I have only rode around Zorinski a few times, but whenever I do I seem to run into this skunk. It ALWAYS just darts out in front of me and makes me swerve to avoid it. Its the same thing with raccoons in Elmwood park, they're always just lurking there waiting for me.

I guess the lesson here is not to ride late at night.......
