A gif I made tonight.

Spotted in Gastown

Some new Korean BBQ place on fourth, gyozas and beef sashimi.

Turkey sandwich and chicken noodle soup from Lunchbox in Railtown.

I took this photo of some low resolution printing I found yeseterday.

Then Tom Bancroft took a photo of me in front of it.

Some of the stuff I ordered through my friend Mark at Rain City Bikes has started to come through and it’s looking really good. The wheels are coming together and I’m getting pretty excited about the build. Pictured above are Mavic Open Pro rims, 36 hole for the rear and 32 hole for the front – silver.

This is the hub I got for the front. A Paul FHUb. You might remember my post from awhile back, I picked up a Sachs Komet coaster brake hub for the rear from Ride On. I think these are going to be the nicest and funnest set of wheels I’ve ever built up.

A little while ago I posted a picture of my frame when I originally stripped it down. Since then my friend Dave has been working on cleaning up the frame for me by stripping the paint and grinding down some of the superfluous parts (shifter mounts, cable guides, derailleur hanger etc). I went over to his place tonight to check out the progress and so far and it’s looking super good. Here’s a process shot of the dropouts with the derailleur hanger and rack mounts ground off. There’s still a little bit of paint on the frame but it should be ready to go soon. Hit the jump for a picture of the whole frame after the jump.

Tangents went down on Friday night and it was awesome. Big congratulations to Jeff for putting it on and having it be a big success. Here’s a quick snapshot from the roof of the show. From left to right, Dave Emmens, Tom Bancroft, Harookz, and Harrison Boyce. Really psyched on running into Harookz for the first time in a long time!

Just taped up a new Sher-Wood after exploding a stick last week. Should be good to go for the Chan Center Elite League this Wednesday night.

I don’t think I’ve ever failed so hard at carving a pumpkin as I did tonight. Luckily my brother Tom pulled off a nice owl pumpkin as shown above. Also Courtney carved a nice one that is a definite improvement over her pumpkin from last year (Left to right: Courtney’s, Colin’s, mine). Check out my failed pumpkin and hers after the jump.

Mine is the one that can barely stand up. I don’t know what happened but it’s in the trash now.

Here is Now was last night and the turn out was huge. Good stuff.
