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

I'd like to take a moment to draw your attention to my new Nitto Dove Bar. It makes me smile. Held up by a Ritchey Force stem, also made by Nitto, it's right at home on a 1987 Shogun. Now  I just need to drink another can of High Life so I can properly shim the 25.4 up to meet the 26.0

When I finally get my Steve Young Has a Posse jersey and wear it with a pair of black Dickies, I'll look like a missionary cruising for new recruits.

Alor would give me tons of shit for putting fenders on in August. A rear fender was OK in a downpour, but mounting a front fender was put off until the deepest darkest coldest wet day of winter and was a sign of admitting defeat. But I'm not a messenger, I'm a commuter. This bike got fenders today and I imagine they will stay on until they fall apart. It's not about the calendar. It's not about toughing things out.  It's about fender eyelets.

is it raining?

do these bars make my butt look Mormon?

your socks can't get wet if you're not wearing them

its not the bars that make your ass look mormon its the blue eyes blond hair and the indefatigable forehead that give it away.

got some black brake levers nos made in Japan. now all is well.

That reminds me of these old good words on fenders. "I buy used fenders sometimes at Recycled Cycles. I spray paint the silver ones black. If I find black ones, I usually don't spray paint them silver."

copy that. those words still hold true just replace Recycled Cycles with Bike Works. I'm the same boy I used to be but not in a Steve Winwood way more of a Jack White way.
