I got another United. I don't think about how much I spend. It's the one thing I look forward to when I'm not working so I don't mid dropping money on parts as shit. As long as I stay within my budget.

Put on pegs, did some x-up feebles then got bored and took them off.

Spray painted my tan walls black. Then went to the park and cased my front wheel and got a pinch flat.

all last week:
replaced my snaped profiles by a friends old twombolts, super stoked!
due to 22mm spindle got myself some smooth rolling new bearings,
running two right side pc pedals for some time now
and replaced my barend with a bottle cap
and learned that i am not macgyver and can't combine convertible guts and a wedgeposts to achieve worldleadership

first day on the new 10speed and im rushing out the door off to work and i think "i should put some air in my tires" so i stop at the pump in the back of my truck and begin undong a valve cap and think "im late, theres enough air, fuck it"
...probably bout 60psi...

so i jam off to the bus stop which is one town over and i can see the bus at the stop and BAM i hit a pothole and my rear pops. i hop off the bike and run 50ft too the already loaded bus.

you know what though, if i wouldve taken the time to pump up my tires im sure i woulda missed the bus n been late to work so eh

got rid of the animal cranks I had and banged some eclats on, after I shook all the bits of bearing out my frame

hopefully won't have to touch them again cos splines are fucking annoying

snapped the fucking bolt on my marmoset, over tightened it cos i'm a fool.

edit: anyone happen to know where to get them online? i looked in some hardware shops earlier and had no joy, so if i can't find one anywhere tomorrow i'll probably have to order one.

Got my frame. First frame I purchased new since I lived in Kentucky.
