what was that? is that all there is? who is this? this is it.

Let the record show the only carbon fiber component I own is a 5mm headset spacer (1-1/8” threadless you know) and although it is functional I prefer to view it as ceremonial, referential and a personal choice.

Steel bike philosophy continues.  

rewind replay relive     relieve

cut me into 96 sticky little rectangles
adhering to each and every corresponding spoke hole

make me a sandwich
between sequential slices from the loaf of consistency

acetone daydreams fade to black (but that’s too emo)

the canary is now out of the coal mine and

moving on

full speed ahead looking over my shoulder

when I say full speed ahead visualize FSA Metropolis handlebars and thoughtful functional design wrapped around a 31.8 clamp diameter

It’s actually a 10mm headset spacer and it’s sort of like Ron Sutphin said when he said that Albert Eisentraut said, “every good story contains at least one cubic centimeter of bullshit”… a good old trusty traditional bike built up with one little centimeter of a carbon fiber headset spacer

I am not working at FSA

if you take a whole bucket full of carbon fiber headset spacers and stack them on your steer tube you can smack them with a dead blow hammer and install your crown race. Then you can put them all back in the bucket and put it in the corner next to the weed whacker that ran our of line in 1998
