parts

So as you know, my fixie isn't the greatest, but I'm still working on it. Within a couple of months I'm planning on getting an AEROSPOKE front, a DEEP V rear, maybe some riser bars, SUGINO crank and chainring, and some new pedals/clips. Just an idea, but we'll see how that goes. Parts are so damn expensive, but hey, I'll bet you a million dollars that my fixie gets better gas mileage than your AUTOMOBILE. haha.

20 YEAR OLD RUBBER AND 120 POUNDS OF PRESSURE DON'T MIX

I thought I posted more about my fixie but I guess I didnt get around to that. In my previous post, I talked about how I bought a red Bianchi frame off of craigslist. The bike didn't have a chain or a seat cover and the wheels were pretty much fucked. So a couple days later, I went over to the bike shop to pick up the parts I needed to make it a fixed gear. I bought some straight bars, an Alex R450 wheel with a flip flop hub, some black handlebar grips, and a chain. It cost about 300 to build the whole bike. I was kinda low on cash at the time, so I decided to just stick with the piece of shit front wheel and tire which turned out to be a bad idea. Just last week, which was about i don't know, 3 weeks of riding, I was just walking my bike in front of my house at like 1am. It was quiet as hell and out of nowhere, POP! my front tube explodes through the middle of the fuckin tire. Scared the shit out of me. It sounded like a fire cracker and my ears were ringing for a little while. I thought all the neighbors were gonna come out so I just ran into my house with my bike haha. I looked at my tire and there's about a half inch hole going straight through the tire. So here's my piece of advice: DON'T RIDE A 20 YEAR OLD TIRE. lmao. Luckily I wasn't going fast or anything. Well, here's some pics of the before and after and the bitch tire.

Been Lazy

I guess I've just been lazy and haven't posted in a while. I'm planning on posting at least twice a week from now on, so keep checking back! Lately I've been focusing on my school work since its my senior year and I wont get to graduate if I fail any classes. My favorite class so far is Statistics. My teacher is really cool and I've been learning a lot about probability, stocks, and different companies in there. Invest in McCormick everyone! Haha.
