Keep an eye on eBay man, this was 510 with a 105 groupset, so once I flog that it'll have been just over 300 all in, bargain.

Someone posted a company who made these sexy ass brazed steel stems on here before. Anyone remember who they were?

Feather makes stems sometimes. He also pisses himself when he tries to fart after we've rode over a few mountains.

You may want to route the front hose inside the fork leg. It offers better strike protection and it's "proper" so you won't be harassed by the PinkBike crowd.

Let the Pink Bike ninnies say what they want. I route all cables outside the fork leg because the chances of landing on your hose at precisely the right spot to damage the hose are almost nothing. the chance that your zip tie will break and allow the hose to get hooked on a tire lug and sucked into the wheel, ripping the hose out of the brake caliper, are much higher. i will take my chances with the former and avoid the latter.

dragged my heavy-ass touring bike up 2500 feet of elevation according to MapMyRide) for 40 miles of west Austin nieghborhood roads today. This bike is fun on gravel trails, carries momentum well on decents, and is comfy for commuting. but it climbs like pallet of bricks.  time for a proper road bike?

sceneic overlook on HWY 360. you can barely make out the city skyline in the background.


I have long fantasized about climbing up these little trails along this highway to the cliffs above the road. I finally did it and it turns out that these are not really trails at all but ruts formed by rain water. gave me a good overlook of the Pennyback Bridge.


this is the start of a good set of tan lines. see rule #7
