sleep? what the fuck is sleep?

so another day, just realized didn't know what day it was, its like freakin' groundhog day here (ref to the Bill Murray flick). Thank god for loud punk music and coffee...
speaking of which, need more.
its snowing out, can I go home and sleep? answer..no, for sure when I do cut out early, someone calls and accuses me of slacking... slacking sounds pretty good right now, might have to wander to high west tonight and see my favorite bar tender in the whole world.. : )

more titanium today, then some steel....

custom decal with your signature for your bike...

okay, if you googled this because you want a sticker like this for your bike, stop reading...now.
I recently did a bike for this fellow that wanted his signature on the bike, holy fucking shit that is lame, lame lame. I, in the name of rent, and food, agreed to this. It was humiliating to ask my decal guys to do this.
The pathetic part, is that this person didn't design nor did he build his bike. I don't really care if my name appears on the frames, but even if I did, it wouldn't be my signature!
If you feel offended, good. Get a sharpie out, and scribble your name on your top tube or wherever, and then see how long it takes before you are cracking out the acetone to wipe it off.

As for this guy, good luck, it was placed under the requisite metallic flake clear coat he wanted over the top...ugh.

buy livewrong tee shirt here!

so made some more of these beauties for the folks out there looking to let that assclown know what a collossal douche he is.
On other notes, fall is rolling in and I am cranking on some cross frames this week. Why is it folks must have such spendy rides for cross? I can remember when having STI on your bike (or ergo for you campy fags)(or Sachs, for you retro grouch assclowns like me!) was considered high brow. I got my ass chewed by the guy I was riding for (don't get pissy, it was a free loaner frame and I never considered it anything more) when I dumped his bike after a swap in the pits while racing at Umass. Anyhow, if you are going out and buying new stuff to hang on a cross bike, perhaps you ought to consider just how strange you are.
While on the subject of strange, apparently I unknowlingly annoyed a customer the other day when I commented on the temperatures getting colder. A friend, Jeremy, was present and started to laugh the moment the woman left, telling me she immediately did a self inspection of her chest (I said 'cold', not nippy you sick bastards!). Anyhow, good thing I didn't pick up on it, I would have lost my composure for sure. If the lady that had that moment of misplaced self conciousness reads this, I am very sorry, I was actually talking about the air temps.
Lastly, while I have your attention, let me gripe about shipping. Folks, don't ask me to EVER ship your bike overnight. I cannot think of any moment in the world when shipping something like that by air overnight was remotely justifiable. This thing, this toy, is not worth the cost or frustration, or most importantly, the WASTE that results from such a venture. Stop being so damn lame and be patient, its like a cheap date where you get a homerun on the first date, the anticipation and all that is lost the moment it arrives (and the bill is probably as close as you can get to the medical care you will require afterwards too). Horrible analogy, but what can you expect from a tool like me.

Stay tuned for more drivel, or just come by the shop and get it in person... just don't look at your nipples if I say its cold out, if they are nipping out I will just tell you.

bicycle spaceship and bicyclespaceship.com

well, it is a twist in the never ending saga to get some form of business rolling. I have started up this business with jeremy and it will occupy the neighboring shop space originally set for retail. We will focus on consignment of new and used bikes, components and frames.
Come one, come all, save money ...and make money! yay!
thanks to kevin neirman for doing the artwork, you are the man kevin!

tour des suds 2011

just put the final touches on the tour des suds bike! what a great bike I must say, and for a great cause. Shit, if you own a shop in this town and are selling and servicing bikes its nuts not to contribute what you can. I honestly am way too broke to donate 2k, but I can donate my labor and some time to build up a bike frame and some parts, and broker some help from quality bicycle products to get the rest set. (thanks quality!)
I had a great ride yesterday, my one day off a month, and was reminded how happy I am to be here. Its expensive to live here, but rich folks need poor folks to do menial work right?
Getting ready for winter, added a new website to show off what hopefully will be an excellent collection of bikes, frames and parts on consignment to help folks who just love to hunt for bits.

Its pouring rain out, looks like I am driving tonight...

livewrong tee shirts

hey, still have a good quantity left of these tee shirts, livewrong across the chest and in black of course...
