I finished the perpendicular "stations" on the streamliner mockup.

65-toot chainring
(37 days until the 2011 WHPSC)
After over a week in customs, the 65-tooth chainring that I ordered from RaptoBike in the Netherlands arrived today! Check out how huge it is compared to one found on a typical mountain bike.

This is that awkward stage where I look like a fool (of course, I'm assuming there is a latter stage where I do not look like a fool).
Looks like I cut myself in two.

The most expensive bicycle tire I have ever bought, a Vittoria Corsa EVO CX 20-26 tubular, arrived today.
