To set the bar, I was able to snap this pic of the Randy Ride just prior to him disappearing this afternoon… again. Let the count stand at 6.5 grips:

   Love the Brooks! I’ve been rocking leather saddles offroad for quite some time now. Heavy, but not half as heavy as my fat ass.

   why don’t you put that spare tube in your fanny pack, instead of showing it off on your buttpost?

    Downieville, for the record, smells like old hippies and not the laundry detergent.

    is that a home made shock with an elastomer between the fork and head tube? Looks like 1 1/2 headset or some shit

    more proof that singlespeeds are gay

    Uh, really…do you know what an elastomer would feel like in line with the headset? It would feel like a loose headset. It’s def 1 1/8 and BGR uses this area to keep his keys – to your girlfriends house.

    That brake lever could do with an Oury. You’ve missed a chance there.
