Apparently a car accident shoved a car into a whole row of Ducatis causing tens of thousands of dollars in damage. Luckily no one got hurt for serious.

I have a set of stock BMW rims.


All the tires could be replaced.

450 for the whole set.


would really like not to ship these because I am sure it would be expensive.

Anybody want to go?

I've been eying up commuter/urban bikes for probably a year now. I've been rocking my mountain bike with slicks on it, but being lazy that has kept me from actually mountain biking (yes, swapping wheels is enough of a hurdle). Soooo....

I've been looking at a ton of stuff. Prebuilt, I was looking at something in the 650-900 range. Unfortunately, everything I tried was missing something, and in that range, they're really not all that well put-together; some part is cheaped on.

After tossing around various models for months now, I pretty much settled on getting something from Surly... They're sort of leaders in the singlespeed market and make some really versatile and high quality stuff. Combine the timing of everyone else building bikes, mountain bike season coming soon, and some guy listing a used frame for sale and I was all in.

Within a day, I had already spec'd out the entire build. <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pKVJZpKuJTHSbChcuCRkIXQ">http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key= ... ChcuCRkIXQ</a><!-- m -->

I'm looking at $750, but every single part on this thing is how I want it and of good quality; I can thank eBay and some stellar sales for that. The wheelset was $100! That's ridiculous.

The Surly 1x1 is a steel mountain bike frame, which is perfect for how I commute. Steel is soft so it'll be comfy, and the frame is beefy so it can handle everything I throw at it. The only downside is it's 26". Typically, a larger wheel is preferred for road riding, which is why road bikes are 700c (29"). I'm going to take a stab at throwing some 29" wheels on it, but the geometry might be thrown off completely. If that happens, I'll resell the frame and throw another $125 in to upgrade to the 29" equivalent called the Karate Monkey.

I'd love to embed pics, but the MM forum hates the format my web gallery uses... It doesn't recognize them as images. So here's a link: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.iammike.org/gallery/?dir=my_rides%2Fbicycles%2Fsurly_1x1">http://www.iammike.org/gallery/?dir=my_ ... Fsurly_1x1</a><!-- m -->

Waiting on the wheels, a small order from JensonUSA, and the brake discs from the previous owner (he couldn't find the bit to remove them). Should have it all by mid-week and it'll be assembled in a matter of minutes.

As a bonus for reading this far, have some cheap condoms: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://tiny.cc/iI6VU">http://tiny.cc/iI6VU</a><!-- m -->

So my boss came across this mailer that was sent out to Model T owners on June 29th 1928 to try to drum up some service from Model T owners. Just thought you guys might get a kick out of the prices.

I've been doing the gym thing for awhile now and after losing 30 lbs, I'd like to start getting more serious about the effectiveness of my time there. I've been using a hand-me-down bathroom scale and no real "work" monitoring, so maybe it's time to upgrade. Do these monitors really work? Are there any specific brands I should be looking at? Are chest straps really the only accurate technology out there? Are they worth the cost?
