HUGE props to Gary! He provided me with some like-new Sora shifters for the team bike that I've claimed as mine until and unless I get a road bike of my own. All I wanted were some old beat up 8 speed downtube shifters, but he came through with these beauts!
I was going to post pictures of them all mounted, but the bike is still not 100% together - finals interupted everything. They're on the bike, but not really connected to anything 😉
Thanks a lot Gary! I'll get that Marzocchi hat and t-shirt off to you within the next couple of weeks. I've got so much stuff due/to do/packed/to pack that I probably won't be able to get it out before I get home.
Thanks again, they'll be put to good use! Both on training rides, and maybe commuting to the bike shop for work a couple times a week to save some gas money.

Now, with all this good will flowing in here, surely someone has a brand new 2003 Turner DHR frame just laying around looking for a good home or at least a Shiver.....come-on guys.....really......I'm broke and can't afford to buy one right now. -- Slacker - cawf it up!

Say what you like about Roadies, but one guy has been more than good to me. My wife's bike's drivetrain came almost whole from that guy's first road bike (Sora-in place of exage300 with roadie gripshift) and later he paid me for performing the upgrade on his current bike (to Dura-Ace) by giving me the almost new 105 stuff that came with the machine.

Yeah, Commander, but what are you doing with your tax refund? ;-)

NO DOUBT! and fixed would be even better..... I'd think a few weeks riding a fixed gear over Avon Mt. should build up some muscle mass ;-)

Well, if I don't use it to bribe my chem teacher into NOT failing me in my final an hour and a half away, then I'm thinking I'm going to buy a new car. With GPS. And a naked chick in the front seat.

It's only got a double ring, so its pretty much the same for me 😉

Heh - sorry if this sounds cruel (and I don't have much room to talk), but I just saw a mental image of our Commander looking like a collection of pea kebabs, and it gave me quite a giggle heheh... ',;~}~

LOL Jon, you didn't have to post this online. I got your email about the shirt and hat. I'm not going to sic the online crew to get you if you didn't acknowledge it to the public.

He is a kind person, indeed. In an unsolicited gesture of that nature, he sent me a really cool headset cap that is very singlespeed specific. It's adorning the headset of the Ritchie Blackmore now. Yeah, thanks Gary.

Thanks - I ended up kicking it's ass 🙂
In this class, you get an A for the class if you ace the final, and I think I just might have. She let you bring anything you wanted, including old tests and the book, which was kinda strange - but a HUGE help. Seriously, there were 2 or 3 (out of like 18) questions that were pulled EXACTLY from the old tests, and only 4 or 5 that you really had to know your [censored] for (and thankfully, they were on [censored] I knew).
Now I have to see if I can finish up this CAD lamp project before 6PM so I can go riding 🙂

but we could only use autocad and not autocad inventer,
How LAME!!!!!
I hope it was at least 2004 and not like 2002i
2002, that's me. The program is fantastic for doing 2D stuff, but it just doesn't make sense to use it for 3D - it almost seems like the 3d was an added feature onto a 2d program. Not cool.

Thus, 2004 or Inventor. Sure wish I took more advantage of my employee discount and got a copy of Inventor while I was there ;-)
