bike 3

Still waiting on some parts to come in the mail... it seems like forever (it'll probably come today). I haven't really done much to the bike in a week, just cleaned more grime and trying to rig a rubber band/Velcro system to attach my GPS to the stem or handlebars. Kinda lame if you think about it.. having a bike sitting there in the hall in pieces. Everything should work out once it all comes together.

Some more bike related stuff:
After looking around for some parts I came across www.fixedgeargallery.com/

One gear? why? well, I'm not quite sure but the cult of the fixed-gear is gaining members daily, and taking an older bike and converting it to a fixed-gear racing machine is the hip thing to do these days. Owing to the bike messenger underground, fixed-gear bikes are now becoming more common. If I come across a cheapo bike in the future, I'd like to make one.

On a side note:
Moving soon. We found a new place out west, and it will give us some room to breathe. I'll get a room for myself to store all of my music projects, guitars, books, equipment, and experiments. My wife will get a room to put all her stuff in. Looking forward to living there, not looking forward to moving all our stuff.

I'll send Jethro to help you move when you guys get to that(if you need help)! I'll bring you drinks and make treats..thats about all I'm good for these days. I'm excited for you guys, you finally get your own place. Maybe one day that will be us.

yeah.. the more the better. I'm not exactly sure the date when we close, but it should be in the middle of July. Garit is helping us with his truck abilities. We'll let you know when...

We might be able to close as soon as a week... seriously, that's what he said today. YAY! (Davy, I would have told you that in person but you're too busy working on your bike downstairs...)
