Primitive Don replied to Anne Alt's discussion 'your funniest ever moment on a bike'"Mine was before actually getting on the bike. I made the mortal error of using a car tire pressure gauge to check my tire pressure. This one did go up to 100, but it was f'd up apparently. I diligently checked the pressure as I added more and…"

- I'm so busy fixing bikes, rebuilding bikes, and doing tuneups that I rarely get to ride my own bike. I like Japanese bikes, Italian bikes, touring bikes, and single speed conversions.
I fancy myself an amateur music producer, and I love reggae, particularly rub-a-dub and dancehall from the early to mid-80s. I love sound system videos from sounds like Volcano, Stone Love, and David Rodigan. Check out my Youtube favorites at the link below:

GarrettTV said… - i had heard that about the bikes, that the frames are great but the setup varies from model to model.
the lotus ended up being too large for me, so i didnt get it. i ended up getting lucky and stumbled across an '86 trek 310 elance. it's really light (arund 24lbs) even though its has a stock setup. i think with some tweaking i can get it down to the very low 20's...only time will tell.
thanks for the response!
