Indeed, I was 5 at the time. My older siblings were 11, 13 and 19.

Full disclosure? I'm lost. I wasn't going to go into personal hardships to convince you where to buy a bike.... ? -
Just watched The Reluctant Fundamentalist. Might be my movie of the year so far. And appropriate watching on a day on which we run the risk of overglorifying the military.

Jesus, what are you going to do with it - ride it or massage its dropouts with KY and tease the rear brake mounting hole with q-tips and Vaseline? -

We are talking about specialized bikes - same [censored] in every shop. Ofcourse the relative quality of the people selling them comes into play. Im not blaming you for anything. Im lamenting the fact I didnt realise that buying from them would of made me feel better than buying from where I did. -
Went on a hot date tonight.....damn this girl is seriously hotttt. Was nice to get out and focus on the future. Go me.

I tried to contain meself, but I can't. Tonight's boring trivia (is that I tautology? I don't reckon it is, coz I like most trivia. HA):
Extreme temperature range of inland, subartic land masses. :-)
Example: Yakutsk, Russia.
The average max Jan temperature is -35 C, and the average max in Summer is 25.5, which is only 0.4 of a degree cooler than our January, and they're 24 degrees further from the equator.
Their coldest day on record is -63, and their hottest is 38.4!!!! How the fark does that happen?!All I know is that it's got a lot to do with being nowhere near water.

Do those dates correspond to the testing of the 50 megaton Tsar Bomb? I hear some parts of Russia had a really size able temperature swing that day 😉

Apparently, at Campagnolo, this man is referred to as "Mr Ghilbli." In recent years he's been the one and only guy to build the disks. When he's sick, there are no Kevlar tension disk wheels made.

Man facebook can be a really downer at times. Its emotional. People like then unlike your posts. That is really hurtful. Also I was riding on my mountain bike today and stopped to check a message. It was an sms from facebook saying I should be celebrating a friends birthday with them. Geez thanks facebook for reminding me im an apparent cnut.
Where is the love facebook where is the LOVE!!! [IMG]files.cyclingforums.combig smile.pngOpen ↗[/IMG]
