Dang I wish I had more than $3.00 till payday! That's that's just the teacher's lot, and most have it worse these days. But there's lot's to see on rivbike.com. Window Shopping, Mom used to call it. Now there's pix of the Hunkapillar, which load "progressively", becoming impressively sharp as you watch. Wich are making me think. I've been thinking Specialized Expedition since I first saw one, and then Atlantis since I first saw that one, and now this Hunkapillar sure looks fine.

Yes, I've strayed. I've lusted for the Herses and the Boulders. And I ride a Quickbeam, right now with a planetary gear for a little while. Will probably go back to something simpler someday.

I'm due for some soaps and such soon, but someday...

Nope- a SRAM iMotion-9 I was given for some editing work, which I built into a wheel. It goes clickity-click, but is nicer than some SA Hubs of my past. I just trust fixed and single speed and derailleurs more. Now, I, too, imagine the Nuvinci, but realize it's not user serviceable and relies on a sort of ATF-type fluid magic to keep it going. Still, why not?
