@ Jules

Looks like a pretty typical Saturday in Prospect. 

Oh yes.  Finally.

Oh. I was caressing it this weekend. Very pretty. I like the color scheme but like the gin and trombones one better.

Edwin was building one up. My first impression is that it looks better in person than in the photos I've seen. Patrick and I tried chatting him up, (I want a bling/bling new cross bike) but he didn't seem in the mood. Some useful info gleaned though:

1. First he says he doesn't have anymore FTBs. Then he's like, he might have one or two frames around.
2. Then he says, that he's working on a new design for the FTB for next year. He says that it may or may not be disk brake only.
3. He mentions developing replaceable dropout system that will allow for disc breaks or not.

I really wanted to talk to him about the whole disc breaks "not ready for prime time?" issue, but I'm a terrible schmoozer, and he wasn't really chatty.

I talked to Edwin about discs at length and can share with you or anyone.

Little one broke into my toolbox and found the valve extenders...

Never mind, that link goes to 2012...blurg.

I had a pair of those Adidas shoes , so track

Get it? Raising the BAR?  That's right. I got the pink/grey limited edition bartape at Rapha Clubhouse today.  Joe and I stopped by after a ride (Donovan sighting in Piermont!).

Saw a pic of their ride this morning.  Do you have to wear Rapha on the Rapha ride?  Do you ride 15 feet behind if not?  Rapha Jail?

Having flashbacks to the awesome Fred-bombing of the Rapha ride with Jeremy Powers at Central last year.  JP won the tacky mismatched throwback fred-kit of course.

@Owens the first step is admitting you have a problem

is bar tape the only thing you could afford?

Anyone know who runs our Instagram account?

Wes, I manage all the online assets.  Nice catch.  I'll look into it.  (It might already be ours)

Yup, we own it.

Hey, here's a question for you computer people who speak in code. I can't watch any new or "Season 4" videos from the new "Behind the Barriers" website. Older seasons I can watch. It seems another Mac owner was having the same problem. I tried both Safari and Firefox browsers, but all I get is a black box. Any ideas?

reboot it.

Velonews.com has it.  I could watch it there.

Nice article.  But I didn't understand it.  I mean, if I put my genius into all areas of my life, it'll get spread a little too thin.

Is nobody going  to call @Stokes out on posting the formulae for the Flux Capacitor?
