I got Stompy back. $160, new cassette, new chain, new seat post (longer), full tune up, new brakes. It rides like a different bike. I'm topping out on my gears now, getting to work. Fancy what not fighting your tools does for you.

(I remind myself, regularly, while riding with friends, that my gear is better. It just is. I'm not necessarily a better cyclist, but i can go faster because i have a nicer bike and my bike fits me. Actually, given how good Stompy felt this morning, i feel a bit better - my friends can all afford to have a well-tuned and fitted bike, even if they don't want to invest in a Shiny bike. Phew. Less guilt.)

In other news, i totally want these. I'd add a reflective stripe. http://www.swrvestore.com/servlet/Detail?no=85
I like the Hiding Hoodie as well.

I suspect this isn't what i should be spending my next available cash on. My sports bras left another chafing sore during todays run. Clearly, while less fun and sexy, a sports bras should be next.

I have entries percolating on work, and our kitchen, and fitness. Who knows if i'll get to them.
