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

black and white and read all over just a string of cliches stuck together with two-sided tape falling somewhere on the grayscale with an outlier sliver of a Rainier tall boy poking out just this side of the simple elegant Ritchey Force stem because imperfection is perfection in finding what works and sticking with it now 4 out of 6 of my bikes that's two thirds or 66.666% they're all thumbed out 7-speed friction and or index Shimano and Suntour what works whatever the other bike is a CETMA largo 1 x 8 featuring 37 Mike's XT trigger and the other other is a single speed Soma the OG 1981 Japanese Soma because after fixing up 1,307 bikes for other people and fidgeting with fucking failing pod shifters grip shifters sti shifters and downtube shifters    how was your weekend?    a little less conversation a little more action  let's not diagram the theory and form another committee to explore the options with powerpoint presentations please trim your zip ties neatly I need to get to work

there are no frets on a violin no frets on a trombone as friction shifting will never go out of style it never gets old it can be re-calibrated every 10000 miles.

Older. Fatter. Slower. But still chug chug chugging along. Word. And you know I have 37 more sets of 8 speed stuff "just in case".
