things and (oh the places you'll go) - not a point to this one

sniped from Sucka Pants




these kind of remind me of that party steve/fort thunder thing

roger miller (not the baron)

Trailer for sale or rent
Rooms to let... fifty cents.
No phone, no pool, no pets
I ain't got no cigarettes
Ah, but... two hours of pushin' broom
Buys an eight by twelve four-bit room
I'm a man of means by no means
King of the road.

Third boxcar, midnight train
Destination... Bangor, Maine.
Old worn out suit and shoes,
I don't pay no union dues,
I smoke old stogies I have found
Short, but not too big around
I'm a man of means by no means
King of the road.

I know every engineer on every train
All of their children, and all of their names
And every handout in every town
And every lock that ain't locked
When no one's around.

I sing,
Trailers for sale or rent
Rooms to let, fifty cents
No phone, no pool, no pets
I ain't got no cigarettes
Ah, but... two hours of pushin' broom
Buys an eight by twelve four-bit room
I'm a man of means by no means
King of the road.

some vintage colnagos I stumbled upon...

This one's definitely a pursuit, but take a look at that fork/double stem combo! so coooool!



Entirely over-the-top and frankly pretty ugly, but one of the first uses of carbon monocoque technology. Check out them colnago disc wheels too.



Super over the top, but still has discernable top/down tubes - check out the faring over the rear tire



UGggghhhh campy discs.....

Also I watched the Flying Scotsman - a movie about Graeme Obree, a scottish "outsider" track racer who beat Francesco Mosers Hour Record in 1993 (then Chris Boardman's - who beat Obree's record a week later - in 1994) in on a bike made from discarded bmx tubing and washing machine parts, in a super weird riding position that revolutionized cycling twice. I recommend it.
