fixed gear


new issue of 63xc is out. for some reason i really like bikes like this. probably the dirt bag mentality in me that likes things pieced together into functionality. for some reason links aren't showing up lately when i post 'em but here's a try



some good stuff to check out. how to reverse, a skill i haven't even tried to learn yet. author makes a point for its practicality on the trail. stop, stall, reverse, re-aim, go. 90rpm cadence, wha?

how to braze your own track ends. i'll leave that for the skilled like wills to learn.

oh yeah, i almost forgot. steve potts is in there and matt chester reviews the midge bars.

weddings april 22nd. i know you guys are going to fruita in a couple of weeks. I wish i was going, bastardos. oh well. guess i am going to have to take a honeymoon instead.

I actually may be doing a weekend rockclimbing trip with some buddies the same weekend as fruita. kinda bachelor party thing, ya'know.

carp not sure who from Lincoln is going to make it. there are a few of 'em invited. its going to be a good party regardless. my best man's comment was,
"it sounds like you guys are having a festival instead of a wedding". well, shit, why not?
