ReplyDeleteTwo!
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of ride ending mechanicals, what's the status of the stumpy?
ReplyDeleteNo spare suspension fork here. I went to te Cuppertino Swap meet last week and probably could have found you a good deal B. With great weather, count me in.
ReplyDeleteThree!
Cupertino Swap meet -hmm, sounds like that could have broken the bank. Any sweet deals.
ReplyDeleteStumpy seems fine. I couldn't get the cassette body off (maybe didn't try hard enough) but the pauls seem to be hooking up. I've enjected as much oil as I could but hope I'm not being fooled. Might need to keep a PBR in my pocket just in case.
Four!
ReplyDeleteI'm at the shop right now but I have my car so you would have to take the wheels off hang out for a few minutes at my apartment while I get ready
DeleteAt the Cuppertino Swap meet there were a few decent things that I didn't pick up. Some of the items for sale included a 53cm BMC Team Machine Frame/fork for $1300, Ksyrium SSC SL front 700c clincher wheel for $100, 54cm Specialized Transition bike (minus wheels/pedals/seat) w/DA7800 group for $1600, 58cm Specialized Tricross singlespeed for $500, Mavic C29ssmax wheelset for $500.
ReplyDeleteLet us know in advance next time you go to one of those, Safety.
ReplyDeleteSIX.
Aye Aye Captain! The Mill Valley bike swap might not be happening this year so the next big one might be in November at the Cow Palace in the South San Francisco area. If you'd like to tag along with a junk yard visit, I'll be happy to show you around. Regarding trips to Costco and the dry cleaners B, they're few and far between.
ReplyDeleteHas anyone seen Councilman lately?
Alive and nearly well. Will be rolling in early June. Off to AZ for a family visit. Will join for tacos when I get back. May the ground be as tacky as the paper under your tacos. Fare thee well!
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear that all is well Councilman.
