First 5 seasons of M*A*S*H are up on american netflix now. Do yourself a favor and if you haven't watched this show, do so. And if you have, watch it again.

sometimes i still wear clothes

boring usual stuff. clothes are over.

broke out the tss short suit this weekend, but wore the pants because the wedding was outside and it was chilly.

oh yeah, so i went to track national championships this year. was super cool. i got to race against a bunch of olympians and national champions and basically rub shoulders with all these people that inspire me and i've looked up to for years. it was wild. https://i.imgur.com/Typ5wON.jpg https://i.im...

It will cost you probably as much to convert to a fixed gear as it would to buy an entry level bike assuming you're not using used / parts you have already and you're also not planning on buying shit parts that will break in ~6 months. Actual itemized breakdown. Pursuit Bars - $40ish Crankset (low e...

bela - Mainly like the Genesis more because the parts are actually named brands. I'm always leary of unbranded/unnamed parts on a complete build because usually that means they trying to hide something. Again, the Fairdale doesn't do much to actually tell you what's on the bike. Most of the "s...

bela - never heard of fair dale but a quick look around their website makes them look pretty legit. Parser looks like a good SS option, it's chromoly (not shitty hi-tensile steel) and I like the color scheme a bit. It could definitely be worse. Looking at your other considerations I really like the...

yeah, definitely my fault for being cheap and not grabbing a new tire sooner. but my tiny excuse is that that tire was constantly covered by snow/salt so I couldn't see how bad it was worn down. I thought it was only starting to show threads.

Replace your tires when they wear out guys, don't be like me and ride on this tire and pray that you don't hit anything.




I hit a rock and got a flat at 1am last night, really not a pleasant experience in -20F windchill.

I got told tonight that my new glasses make me look like Jonny Deep.

I was told it wasn't a compliment/criticism, just a comment.

bela I'm going to go counterpoint to ramseames and say get a single speed and be a man. Hills make you stronger. Singlespeeds are fantastic for commuting (though iirc you have a nice internal hub commuter so maybe go with a nicer geared road/cross bike w/dicks.). If you do want to go the single spe...

bela Q1: Flat bars v Drops. The main advantage of drops is that they give you multiple hand positions (flats, hoods, and in the drops) and these hand positions can vary from a relaxed position to an more aggressive position (in the drops). Flats/risers give a much more relaxed and comfortable ridin...

Fuck, parts of this hit way too hard and close to home. I've mentioned before stuff about my dad and how he's not really (and hasn't really been) in most of my life. idk. just wanted to share the video. it's powerful.

Design related: I'm working on finally putting into action my plans for a personal cycling themed blog and design store. But I'm really struggling with a name. So I was wondering if any of you had ideas for names, really just trying to brainstorm at the moment (since I'm terrible at names). Concept ...

My poor dirty winter beater. The chain needs some love after I left it alone without wiping it down for over a week.



edit: - it's almost entirely surface rust, i just haven't cleaned it haha

bathroom pic but w/e. kinda digging how my hair is coming along. still tiny in terms of bun

really stressing rn because i can't use my current job to fulfill the internship requirement to graduate and i have no time to pick up a "real" internship because i'm either working or in class all day every day. and i'm just mad that we need to have this stupid requirement when i'm gainin...

pondering if:

a) i should even invite my dad to my graduation

b) he'd even want to come

enter into my portfolio class

always the best view

back again with more glasses options, i'd appreciate any comments / feedback you all have. tried out some rounder glasses this time and i think because i'm so used to seeing myself with rectangle frames that i'm negatively biased towards how these look, so i'm unsure how they actually look on me. ed...

last semester of school leggo! like rbjman i too just want to graduate. goals: either use my current new job as an internship credit, or find some bullshit internship to use for my required credit so i can graduate. figure out what the hell i'm going to do for my final thesis installation and make s...

new bike day is raad

I need some advice I think. So I find out my ex just has had a whole lot of sucky shit happen to her recently (girl she knew from hs just died of cancer, among other things) from some posts on her various social media accounts. And I want to offer her support and stuff because I still consider her a...

winter

fucking flakey people. like are we friends or not? i don't need to deal with this back and forth good friends / you ignoring me for months at a time.

Ah guys! I'm loving seeing all these!!!! Sidenote: They should all be safe to wash, I heat set the ink. But if you want to be double sure/careful, just throw them in the dryer for a little while sometime before you wash them. The ink will also soften up with washing and wears and become really comfo...

this is probably really dumb but i just need to get it down somewhere.

i think i read too much into small (and likely) inconsequential actions/stuff and then i end up feeling shitty or confused over them.

it's fucking cold out. -25F windchill
