Totally Backwards

Hot dang! I did me one of them thar durned backwards circles! It was the coolest, kinda like when you finally manage to "sneak one past the goalie" for the first time, only not as cool. We'll see if I can manage to get more than one done during practice session #3.

I wanna fix up the fixie pretty soon. I'm thinking paint, cranks, BB, sprinters bars (thought about flat bars, but that's way too poser NYC messenger style), maybe new fork, painted Velocity wheels, and whatever else would look cool. I kinda like the fork that's on it now because it's an old lugged boat anchor that has "FUJI" stamped into the crown (thinking it would look cool to hand paint the "FUJI"). I'm not sure what colors I'm gonna go with, but I'm leaning towards a pearl white base and pearl/metallic blue or green (or red, or bronze, or, or...). Whatever I chose, I would like to paint the stem and seatpost the same as the base color.

I was thinking of ditching the e-brake on the front of the Fixed-Rod because I hardly ever use it, but I guess the folks up in Oregon are making that kinda shenaniganery(sp?) illegal. I guess it doesn't hurt to have the e-brake on just in case one of the wackos around here tries to kill me on accident.

Oh yeah, looks like Floydosterone is g-g-g-guilty. Rumor has it that the believers camp thinks someone swapped out Floyd's piss cup with that of super runner Justin Gatlin. Oh, wait. Shit. They both came out positive. Nevermind.

RaceClean...

Mr. Clean, outed. So that explains the disdain with which he comments about former AV/Webcor riders. Google the name and it looks like he's been a loudmouth for quite some time.
