I’m in Long Beach CA. Small bikes for small man. Not many have tried 11sp friction so I tried it. It doesn’t suck. Not terribly different from 9sp friction. No idea about chain life tho, the 42 ring put me in the first 4 cogs all the time.
The dude I bought the poprad from said it was custom painted. Haven’t seen any other in that color. It’s nice in the sun. I am pretty sure it was a 2002, steel 1" threadless fork but had a 1-1/8 headtube with reducer in it. The 01 had 1" everything and the 03 had aluminum forks.
I wouldn’t have minded a landshark decaled yamaguchi!! The paint is lame but at least it’s got the bacon sticker. That bike now has the painted to match fork on, and 6800 group.

Any guy who is a secret agent with inside knowledge about ufos but who poses as an everyday firefighter is alright it my book.
Any guy who just puts his bikes in front of random fire trucks and ufos to try to get 'net cred needs a case of jods atmo.

i dont see this as a problem of diversity, just as a problem of storage.

I work for the chinese goberment. I wouldn’t ask more questions about UFOs if I were you. It’s for your own good.
Functional bikes, I’m down to 3. I tried to do the N-1 thing but get distracted. 2 Lemonds and the rock lobster. Going to sell the rom after rebuilding it. The gitane was my roomie’s.
Don’t know what jods are but I guess I’ll have to eat it.

Thought I’d be the only one to spot the UFO.
Thomson post on a Lemond frame puts you where you’d be with a setback post on any other frame probably.

I like new guys style of posting two shitty under exposed photos that are almost impossible to make out details on, and then just to fuck with us posts an outdoor photo with the highlights blown way the fuck out.
