    Yeah, I've heard bad things about the owner, actually. I'm friend's with his ex girlfriend, actually. But she probably has some bias there, ha.

  1.  

    Well, if it's the same guy, a few of my friends who are natives said he was bad news back in the day.
    I don't want to spread them if they are rumors. It was just things that reflected poorly on his character.

    60s stones or 70s stones?

  5.

    Can't do anything tonight, going for a long ride. I have a lot of balance in my life right now

    Day 1: Ride 5 minutes to bar. Drink
    Day 2: Ride lots and lots
    Repeat for 2 weeks. This is the training schedule of champions for sure.

    East End can display it's share of douchebagery but it's not super bad. It depends on if there is a show there that night and then on what kind of show it is. I've been to a lot of good punk shows there and the kids that wind up at those are pretty legit.

    FRIDAY! I'm jealous of people who can party during the week.

    Lamer choice is Cup and Saucer at Hawthorne and 35th, but still good. Oh and I really dig the Stumptown at Belmont and 34th, right by Paradox. That's where I usually am Saturday mornings if I'm not too hung over. We should have a rad hip coffee meet up to read the Mercury and talk about how sweet we are over soy lattes and cigarettes.

    Because my dishwasher is broken and I think it'd be cheaper to put a couple of these people in there and they just manually was my dishes.

    Hmm...well I'm usually 50cm, but they only have the Pake in 49cm or 52cm. I don't know, that's a good price, but I'm kind of partial to the Pake track frame at this point.

  16.  

    Dillon, whats the word on the geometry of the Kilo TT? I was reading something about it, but don't really know enough about the raw numbers.
    It's a regular track geometry right?
