To err is human… (Bikez and Top 10)

To really screw up you need a computer. If that was really the case I would be so un human and completely not screwing up anything. A job change, turning my 3.5 mile commute into 10+ has screwed things up. My posting schedule got screwed in the process. The computer I was using got screwed in the process. My calendar with ideas got completely lost. Everything is in my phone now, so as long as I don’t lose my phone I’ll be ok. Even if I do lose my phone, it’s an Android and everything is in my G+/mail/gcal accounts. Now, for some reason, all the blogs I had scheduled and ready to post in my blogger queue either didn’t post on time (or at all) or went away.

I’ve been trying to get the GT setup for winter use because it’s fitted with the fat tires. Seems like the bottom bracket is crapping out on me. I really want to get the crankset swapped for the ones on my BMX so it’s a single chainwheel setup. I got a Surly Singulator, but I’m seriously considering putting it on the Peugeot. All my bikes are a mess of parts that barely work at the moment.

I’ll quit yapping and make with goofball pictures of bikes and top 10 lists.

Dirt frame, road wheels, and what the hell are those handlebars? It’s like someone mounted a thighmaster on there.

Technicolor hurl. It’s almost like the unholy union of the Walmart Fixie and a Rainbow Brite doll.

I almost wanted to like this one. Then I saw the brake lever. On the seat tube. For just pennies a day you could rescue this bike from its owner. Sell that aerojoke to some unsuspecting hipster, maybe even the OWS Hipster Cop. Move the brakes to the front, spoke cards to the trash or photo album. And a proper fitting. Whoever owns this bike is too damn tall for it.
