It said it in one thing. If not, you will soon. (After you buy it.) **BRENT**

I bought a 4 pack. Already sent one to DQ and (Dammit, Colin, to most). I have one left. Gram(Scrake), fitz, DP, DQ, , and I have it at this point (along with nucks, of course). Duel to the death for the last one? **BRENT**

I do like spice.. life? Meh. **BRENT**

But... but... KF? **BRENT**

Grrr. Weather was supposed to be crap today but decent tomorrow. Now it's steady rain and cold through Monday. I don't even have all my dry riding kit, much less wet weather gear. **BRENT**

Want. **BRENT**

Thanks Chris. Yeah, I just got things installed, not adjusted at all. I REALLY wish I had a stand, trying to hold everything together once my helper left was a bit tough. Really cold and rainy soon, and as I haven't been on a road bike in a while, not the the inaugural conditions I was hoping for. **BRENT**

Oh, wheels are Shimano R500. **BRENT**

If you're talking to me, it's supposed to be a 12-25 105 cassette. I live in a hilly/small mountain area, but I don't plan on pointing skyward very much for a while. **BRENT**

Heh. That's just how I had it installed, liked the look for the pix, but I don't even have pedals installed yet. This weekend, I'll get something worked out. I'd love to have the drop like that, though. **BRENT**

Colin has 626 hours and STILL sucks. Great, no? **BRENT**

I pulled in to a big box on the porch. Gotta open the box Best. Helper. Ever. Well, he's cute, anyways. Was trying to build before the sun went down... so didn't take pix of the in-between stuff, but when she was done. So, I haven't installed pedals or taken it for a spin yet, but I need to upgrade the Front D, shifters, wheels, saddle, seatpost, stem, bar, brake pads (ok, brakes), Rear D, and paint. Oh, and crank and chain, oh, and tyres. The d-_-b way, no? Of course, I'm busy from 8am-9:30pm tomorrow, and it's raining until Sunday, but I already have a Sunday ride planned with a buddy. Can't wait to get out there! **BRENT**

Dammit! I confirmed Vicki is out too Shelly, Jim, tkam, DP, Scoot, SO, Wayne -- you guys have GOTS to make up for it! Alex, if you're driving, you should pick Vicki up on your way. I'll make it worth you're while. (This involves me doing something humourous, like chugging REALLY spicy mustard, or something like that. Come on, guys! Mike, I'm bummed your not gonna make it. **BRENT**

Literally LOL'd. **BRENT**

<taps foot, disapprovingly, as my Huffy sits 10 ft away> **BRENT**

Yay for V! Boo for no Di2. When we riding together? **BRENT**

That really sucks, JP. Hope your situation starts to look up soon. You'll be missed. **BRENT**

OK, the M530 Trails went down 2$, and I got free shipping. One pair of 530 Trails, one pair of 520L. For 5$ more, I should've just gotten 2 530 Trails, but it was like, 75 grams heaver, and that's make or break in recreational/fitness/enjoyment riding, no? Oh, Nashbar is doing free shipping on your entire order when you order anything Nashbar branded, including water bottle bolts that run 99 cents. (I picked up the velcro leg-band set for 2.49, which would actually useful. Now, to just pick up some shoes that fit. Oh, bike comes in Wednesday, shipped out this morning. **BRENT**

Hey guys. My friend Troy is selling his FairWheelBikes/Form Cycles NAHBS 2012 bike. It's big, about a 61cm, but Chris, you need a Ti bike, no? Take a look, and if you know anyone who may be interested, LMK, and I'll get people in touch. FYI, this is the guy who built some wheels for Jeff's Niner. More pix here. **BRENT**

Awesome! So happy for you two! **BRENT**

Hey, it's been a few weeks, just a friendly reminder to take off work if you need to, buy tickets/rooms/save up for gas, ask significant others if it's OK (or tell them that you're going and they can deal), whatever it is you gotta do. Getting close, kids! Oh, and I have a brand new set of Stax SRS-002s I'm bringin' as well. **BRENT**

Nice, CJ. Hate about the cold, but I'm glad you're happy. See you at CanLanta, no? **BRENT**

Justin has those pedals. Brand new Shimano Saint pedals. These JUST came out, and from the looks of it, they're pretty damn good. http://www.vitalmtb.com/product/feature/Tested-2013-Shimano-Saint-Brakes-Derailleur-Cranks-and-More,118 There's a blurb at the bottom. I think if he just gets a 5.10 shoe, or something grippy like that, you'll be doing fine. If you want to go clipless, plenty of options that way too. You probably want to go to a few shops and try shoes on to get ones that fit, though, if you go that way. **BRENT**
