    if your trying to be all "i cant race cuz my _____ on my bike is all fucked up" (be sure and use whiny voice)

    then step right up, i'll fix your shit up proper so you can get smoked by sharky, walton etc... in relative safety.

    that's right, one time only, for free or cans of black sparks I'll true wheels, grease BB's or install any new flash you scored off e-bay with mommy's pay-pal account.

    also:

    cutting risers down to 4" on each side

    spoke beads

    bar pad installs

    sixfiddy front (and rear?) installs

    brake removal

    helmet storage

    spoke card installs

    oury installs

    matching bandanna sales (wear it old west style, that'll slay 'em!)

    cut brand new-in-the-plastic gold anod'd nitto road bars into bullhorns (thx playground_terror for that unique experience)

    also Jeezy will be giving a tutorial on DIY wheel discs

    remember :

    "It ain't a scraper unless you drop paper"

    sincerly,

    Fran Tarck-ington

    Shit, I got a strange sound in my bb. I was thinking of doing the home lube, but I still haven't met any of you people from the board, so I might just have to make an appearance. When/where? I've got a serious lawn to mow today, and then I'm heading back into the city.
    If you are seriously about the wheel truing, I think I need like, three spokes tightened, and maybe some beads thrown on. I can install my own spoek kardz though.

    Hahahahaha that list made me crack up.

    Doug I'm trying to get a 27 inch wheel installation on the front, with fork crown filing to secure the fit, followed by a custom 650 for the rear so I'm that much closer to being in a permanent wheelie when I ride.

    It ain't just BBs, man. The french have to be so "unique" - the BCD on the Gitane Mixte's cranks is like 134.7 or something. WTF?!

    Haha, I guess I'm more popular than I thought! My bike is in a pickup in Portland somewhere, with the rest of my stuffs, and I'm sitting in Denver.. so technically not in Portland yet, but I'll be getting in at 4:00 this afternoon.
    I'd love to race this weekend, though I don't know Portland by bike AT ALL, though I have been google streetviewing it for the past 3 months. And I doubt I'm as fast as you guys.
    BTW..
    Doug n Amy
    My backwheel could do with a truing ;)

    doug is now doing spoke card installs by appointment. you must give him 48 hours notice so that he'll have enough time for the task. he's a busy man.

    Yeah, I've heard those installs take quite a bit of preparation, too.
    They make special grease for your spokes to make it easier. Pricey shit, though.

    I think my spoke card got tweaked out of alignment doing wheelies over the finish line at the track. I sure hope its not stripped. If it is Ill have to call up Kinkos on a re-lam job. I bet they are backed up for weeks. Hopefully its a quick fix and the wheel/spokecard are salvageable.

    did you know kinkos doesn't have a fixed gear specific laminator!? You guys should be more careful.
