The apocalypse is near, I just took delivery of a fixed gear road bike. Surly Steamroller to be exact, with sweeter than sweet Inglis fork. Andrew passed on the bike karma he received from a sweet purchase of and ANT bike by selling me his complete Surly and bag o' parts for a song. I have NO idea how I am going to do on this thing. Kinda mixed feelings of fear, unknown and excitement. My goal (as fleshed out in my head on my ride home from work last Friday---that's right, I am finally able to commute to work easily by bike...9 miles each way) is to learn to ride it, and use it as my commuter--thereby saving the IF from the bad roads and such....who am I kidding , save! I just wanted an excuse to buy a new bike (and to not focus on my problems for like 2.5 nanoseconds)! What the hell, I'll buy 2!! Down payment on Retrotec SS is finally shaping up. I almost feel like Stevo except my bikes are in a lower tax bracket!
Anyway, I guess I better get back to listening to this band you've never heard of, drinkin' my PBR and choosing the right bandana to wear around my neck...
