Brother, can you spare a white belt?

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...

Doin' the fixed gear proud.
Got my photo hints from BikeSnobNYC...let's see, washing machine? Check, Garage? Check. Bike propped up and snapped? Check...better pics to come sometime later.

Funny stuff along same lines , thanks to Steve at "How to Avoid the Bummer Life":
