i got some new chrome s&m fathead bars and a 48mm fit bf stem in trade recently, so i cut the bars down from 29" to 27.5 and slapped a fresh t1 'fuckwipe' sticker i'd been stashing since it wouldn't show on my old black bars. had to hammer in a set of animal plastic bar ends so i'm liking how thick the tubing is. on my t1 bars i had to beef up the OD of the same bar ends with a few layers of electrical tape before lightly pushing them in. also the stem looks really good compared to my old boring rectangular fit s3 stem.
i recently bought a drill bit, tap and tap handle on ebay for drilling and tapping my fbm autopilot's headtube for fly gyro tabs. i planned on using a dremel tool for the drilling, and that was just stupid fucking planning on my part. tough steel, and hard to drill straight even with both hands on the dremel. i obviously need a better setup, so i'll wait til i move back to california this summer. my dad has a drill press for wood that he doesn't care about, maybe it'll drill 4 holes through an fbm headtube before the motor burns out.
also after finally realizing that i hate how short and stumpy my united railed seat looks, i managed to snag a new odyssey aitken seat for $17. basically the united seat is like an odyssey junior with a wider base, and i remember my old aitken seat was an inch or more longer and a better shape overall. finally no more walking past my bike looking at it wondering what it is about it that grosses me out. i'm slowly eliminating the parts on my bike that gross me out, and that feels good. it's frustrating as hell not being able to tell what you don't like about your setup.
