It is now Friday. Why am I still awake?

Haley's new bike does not fit. She's outgrown it already. I'm trying to find a 1x1 20" mtb, but those apparently don't exist. She might be getting a mini cruiser if I can source one easily.

 

[stevew]

go to sleep stoney.

 

[CBJ]

Did not sleep much last night. I feel like I have a hangover. It will be a short day today.

 

[johnbryanpeters]

Drove from Lyndon down to Colchester yesterday afternoon for a friend's retirement party, then back home. Now to drive back to Lyndon for a day of rain as more friends arrive.

'Morning. 21 miles on the MTB yesterday, with wife, splat, and splat jr. My bike is badly in need of new front rings. Hopefully the Shimano tent at the bike expo today brought some. My bike used to be pretty high end, and now it's an old, outdated, obsolete, 26" wheeled dinosaur (Turner RFX)

 

[jonKranked]

@I Are Baboon i didn't know you were a mountain biker

edit: i see now you are looking for SS. any of these could easily be converted to SS (with tensioner if needed) then put the gears back on when she's ready.

 

[jstuhlman]

meeting, then heading to durham for the wknd. unfortunately, no time for riding w/the triangle crew as days are filled with family stuff-wife's bday, a memorial service, and brunnch...ugh.

 

[eric strt6]

Its going to be a long hot day. temps near 100. After work I have to swing by the barn pick up my friend Pat then we will drive 3 hours in Friday night traffic to Sacramento to hook up with our wives at the horse show where it will be dusty and 100+ each day oh joy

 

[Serial Midget]

Good morning Monkies! The sun is out and I managed to get the new bike rack assembled and installed yesterday. Today work. Tomorrow ride.

Howdy all. Food Truck Friday it is. Work day will likely be moderately busy.

 

[roflbox]

[Yossarian]

Sets to strike, and sets to install today. maybe leave early. If rain holds off, I will get ride in on dirt this weekend, and tennis, and drinking, and eating, and happy naked fun time.

Tensioners are unnecessary parts that can and will break. I want a true 1x1.

unless you're giving your daughter horse steroids i don't think that's a realistic risk.

 

[StiHacka]

Morning. I slept like a sleepy baby last night, and my body refused to get up early to ride before work. I'll ride during the lunch break instead, rain is coming later. STOKED to finally hit Thunder with @Sandwich on Sunday.

 

[Nick]

Freshly Pushified RC4 coming back today, for the DHR. I may go up to Keystone to ride the lower mtn trails.

 

[stoney]

Okay kid's 20" bikes with dual brakes, not BMX (yet) - who makes them?
Commencal
GT Bikes
Giant - Nothing that fits the space and isn't janky
Mongoose
Raleigh - Lily 20
Isla Bikes - Fucking expensive
REI Coop - I might just do this and swap the rear wheel to a freewheel
Trek - Coaster brake, rear hand only. The REI Coop makes sense over this

Morning Monkeys.

Rain today, hope for a clear weekend. My cat has brought in a couple mice lately (she does this from time to time) but now it seems there is a mouse under the floor in the kitchen, so I am wondering if she has been catching them actually around the outside of the house vs the field nearby. Wife thought she heard it under the stove, when I pulled out the bottom drawer, there seems to be a man made hole under the cabinet with no tile and looks like no subfloor.

Jen swears she saw a mouse peek out, so I put a trap. Then last night I hear it under the floor tile in the corner between the dog door and back door. Guess I get to pull all the crap out of the closet and go under the house. I've never checked out under, I'm a little scared of what I'll find. The house is 15 years old, so no telling.

Other than that, taking Lil Man into the woods for the weekend. Should be a good time with the fam.

Might head to Granby tomorrow with wifey.

Some of them are pretty buff, the Surly is crazy (also $urly), the ventura kit has all the switch gear needs and is also quite stout.

But I swore there were a couple 1x1 20's, let me look...

Cannondale Trail 20 for the ladies.

Co-op Cycles (REI) Rev 20 (boys and girls)

Drool....http://www.mrpbike.com/rustler/

Designed for: 20" MTB & Recumbent
The Rustler delivers BIG performance in a TINY package. You no longer have to wait until your child can ride a 24" or 26" bike to give them the control and enhanced enjoyment delivered by high-end suspension! The disc-only Rustler provides 80mm of air-sprung travel and is designed for 20" wheeled mountain bikes and recumbents. Featuring the same hand-built craftsmanship and proven technology found in our bigger forks, the Rustler is a durable and dependable piece of kit.

HAPPY FRIDAYYYYYYYY!

But holy crap is it humid here today. Up north of the city there was a foggy haze out over the farm fields. Down here in the city there is a similar haze, but probably due to pollution.

I have to go out into the factory now for a while. Fuck. Should have worn swim shorts to work, its going to be Africa hot in there.

Which ad?

Look up there ... ^^^^^^

 

[Adventurous]

Mornin!

Tired. Just tired and fried. I need like 2 weeks off to do what I want. Luckily I'll be flying to Vietnam in a few weeks, that'll surely help!

The house next door to me is on the market for $350K. I knew the market was hot around here but hot diggity damn.

 

[CBJ]

All the last details on the house went through today and we take procession on June 30th. I am super happy. Tons of space, a yard and a fucking basement for my bikes and workshop. Its really a dream come through. Even has its own parking space and garage which for a New Yorker is a real luxury.

First week on the job was great too. I could not be more happy with the company and the people.

@Toshi safe to say this is the official SOC!

The craigslist ad that Nick posted.

Also see Early Rider. They might have internally geared hubs, though.

go to sleep stoney.

 

[mandown]

Filling out urologist questionnaire for my visit on Monday. I'm going in for a bladder infection, and they asked me more questions about the condition of my hog and the slop troughs it feeds at than anything else.

Q - Do you have normal erections?
A - No. They are weird as fvk.

Jesus Christ, I don't know how you Denver people do it. 2 hours to get from the house to the airport yesterday afternoon. If I had to drive in that traffic everyday I'd have put a gun to my head years ago.

The good news is, wife is now home and I have a collection of duty free Scotch and Icelandic liqueurs for the near future.
