ye. this weekend looks like a bust
90% chance of rain

i'll be doing trackstands in my garage, and starting the build on the new bike.

speaking of which. can anyone press in a headset for me, or should i just hit up a LBS?

frame is coming today..
I have all the other components at home or coming in the mail, except for the fork... still trying to sort that out (if anyone has a beater 20mm DJ fork they're willing to let me borrow, plz let me know).

It's another Transition (yes. i'm a Transition whore), Trail-or-Park.
Going singlespeed, dedicated street/DJ build.

Taylor made a tool from instructions on MTBR. Not sure what one of the shops in Lincoln would charge but taking it to one of them is probably easiest.

as promised.. a few snaps

the build will be mostly Deity
picked up a nice used set of wheels on ebay.
Dimension 20mm front and Hadley SS rear on Atomlab DHR rims
The Hadley is ridiculous, it's the 108 pts. of engagement version.

wanted a raw chromo frame, but Transition was out of stock until end of Feb... soooo, white is the new raw!


Deity is the goods!


The new Vendettas look totally sweet!




more porn later, as the build progresses.

I'm kinda assed out for this weekend. I was hoping the bike was gonna sell next week to hit Fontana but its all gravy. My budget is basically what I got for the bike so my bike choices are limited and probably will be a complete. I'm looking at an 07 Glory today, if it doesn't work out, I'll prob pull the trigger on an older Demo 8.

I saw that Demo 8 but reserve is at 2500 I think. I'm leaning towards the Glory since I can only own 1 bike. Now if only it fits.

damn it! i may be out for another week. i've gotta paint the house this weekend. i've got a bro coming in the following week for a ride, some moto-x, and some clubin'. the following week they are tenting my place for termites, so probably no ride for me :(
