  1. Possibly because where there's life there's hope.
  2. Wait until the economic crisis starts to roll... Strange will take on a whole new look.
  3. I have like a zillion chainrings... I'm sure I have what you want. I'll check.
  4. I thought I'd read that Flat Rock was closed.
  5. Not really what you'd like to find in your home's crawl space... https://www.kxan.com/news/weird-news/mountain-lion-found-hiding-in-houses-crawl-space/?utm_campaign=socialflow&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=facebook.com&fbclid=IwAR3hlvexRwHxKTJQ-b0b51DPR_GAxbea_fBeVNmXUwZJ9xkmZ7GXmsYhtvI
  6. My stepdaughter is a nurse here in Austin. Two of my neighbors are as well. When I read what X has to say I just feel sorry for him.
  7. No doubt about it... Very cool. And reading up about external dropper post cable routing, one of the little issues constantly spoken about is how the cable extends out from under the seat when you drop it. Are you able to do a few of these to sell?
  8. Can tell you this... Been seeing folks leaving Austin in recent months. Folks who had fairly good paying jobs.
  9. I'm thinking the above might need to be simplified some more... And even then, it might not be understood. Honestly, it's just pretty, and sadly, amazing that this needs to be explained at all. I just had to meet someone in the Domain to pick up something... I couldn't get out of there fast enough. Not because of the virus, but because of the abject human ignorance on display. It's like a fool's domain.
  10. Take a look at this Third World country... Small population... But the government put in strick lockdown pretty quickly, and some weeks ago it was ranked #1 with Vietnam for least amount of cases/deaths. https://georank.org/covid/trinidad-and-tobago/vietnam https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic_in_Trinidad_and_Tobago
  11. Thanks mack_turtle... I'm pretty sure I have a set... Just needed to get the other garage to be able to unpack the one they are in so I can get to them. That seat post will be great. The kid who the bike was for is just a few streets up from you. I built a green and silver Giant Iguana for him but the seat post it came with was long. Not sure why, as the bike is a small. But it happens when you buy older bikes... People change things around over the years. Thanks again, he'll be very happy.
  12. I think I have a couple sets. And I can always use tires for my builds. I'll check today and let you know.
  13. Unfortunately, that's not really true. Opinions don't just end at the typing of one on an online forum... Opinions lead to a type of living that includes how you interact with those around you... Which, in the case of a virus, can mean that your opinion can end up causing the death of someone.
  14. I'm sure I've got a set. Are you in a hurry... Garage is jammed tight. I should be getting another garage tomorrow that will allow me to move stuff around and get to the bin with them in it.
  15. Did a build for a 12 year old and the seat post is a little too long. It's a good post so I would prefer to cut it. Thought I'd just check to see if anyone might have one I can buy or barter for. Let me know. Thanks.
  16. Which would only expose your uncaring attitude towards customers... Who should simply turn around and walk out. How quickly your attitude would change.
  17. Only a selfish jackass of a human being would reject the above simply way of thinking/conduct. This week I had to spend some time up in north Austin, in the Cedar Park area. I had to go into a couple stores and was amazed at how man people were not wearing masks... Even in stores that had signs up on their front door asking customers to wear masks. It was kind of revealing to me regarding how different elements of society think... I can honestly say that non-mask wearing seemed more prevalent there than in the SW where I live.
  18. I notice that there seems to be a little forward pull on his body as the front of the bike heads down to the ground — on the higher drop. This I know can be a bit disconcerting for the rider. How do you counter it happening?
  19. I think I've said it somewhere else on a thread... So again... Proper community is built in and out of sacrifice... I give a little, he gives a little, you give a little... All with the same view/end result. But human nature is not real sacrifice leaning... Unless there is a big stick hovering over it. Wearing a mask just takes a little sacrifice on your part. It's not a white flag of independence defeatism. It simply is an expression of good community. And truth be told... Participating in good community is one of the highest levels of independence expression.
  20. Thanks, I appreciate it. I live in SW, near where 290 and Mopac intersect. And i work out of home, so I'm pretty flexible with time. Let me know what works for you and I'll figure out how to work around it.
  21. If no one wants, I can certainly put both the frame and rims to good use.
