Well, yesterday was the year 7 mark here at my employer. I figured i would be gone 2 years ago! Nobody said anything, which is marginally sad. Meh. At least i got cookies at home : ).
Bike front: Sam Hillborne is complete (minus some tweaking), good looking bike. Now the question is, will it ride well? I can tell you this, be very careful about Honjo fenders + tire size, because it will kick your ass!

Summer of the bike (again)
"So take me away, i don't mind
But you better promise me, i'll be back in time
Gotta Get back in time
Gotta Get back in time
Get me back in time."
It's 1991.
I purchased this bad boy off of craigslist for $100, it's nearly pristine, no use, no scratches. The woman i bought it from was prepping for a Triathlon, but the bike was too small for her. I have no idea where she got it, but the thing does not even have wear on the crank arms! The only things that aren't original are the Saddle, and the tires. Tires=awesome, saddle=suck. Swing away merril.
Part 2:
Gen has me building her a Rivindell Sam Hillborne bike. We chose to go old school on this one, and build it ourselves. Should be done by tuesday, it's the cadillac of bikes.
