"Buy when there is blood on the streets"

Last night, utilizing the magic of a fast internet connection and the art of savvy bidding, I realized one of my dreams.



With talks of the recession, and the news of possible interest rate cuts, people's worries were not in how high this particular item was going to fetch on the open market.

Usually, I have seen USED wheelsets comparable to this one for as high as $600 WITHOUT tires nor skewers.

Tonight I will celebrate this momentous occasion by buying myself some liquid property at the LCC meeting.

Bye for now.

I am at a previously unclassified level of color coordination. I am what I like to call "Urbansexual".

We needed some Urbansexual vibes at the party !!!!!!!!!

I am in deep depression, expecting that today I would be riding around wearing my new Hup team helmet.

I was dis-invited at the last minute.

Pink components, along with pink Lycra, are some of the main reasons that the general public has no respect for cyclists. There are only three colors for components, Lycra and bikes: Chrome, Black and White.

I would very much disagree. I think when oblivious/arrogant riders on group rides choose to ride three a breast, sprint for town-lines while there are 10 cars waiting to pass, and stopping at a convenience store, smelling and dripping of sweat, is the reason why the general public hates cyclists.

The Maglia Rosa, the champion's jersey in the Giro, which I think is more badass than "the Tour" is Pink, modeled after the Pink of the Gazetta De Sporto, Italy's finest sporting publication.

This is one of my main strategies for meeting women.
