> [@XwalkerX](#): > > im just boppin around on my Felt track bike most of the time… Calling that a “track bike” makes baby Jesus cry. That is as close to a track bike as I am to winning a mountain stage at the Tour. Good for getting in some great cardio though. ---

I took the hard tail 26" in post [#144](http://www.nyspeed.com/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=144) up there 3 times. I was just slower through the rock gardens. You can rent a FS bike for 60-80 for the day. ---

I have two spots in a parking garage. All work done so far is quick stuff I can do in one night. Can’t really pull the motor or swap in an 8.8 in that environment… That model T is sweet. ---

Moving this Friday! Found a 3 bedroom house with a 2 car garage in a quiet Gardena neighborhood, $2500 a month. 4 miles from work. I brought the volvo to work today to store it over the weekend during the move and since it was slow I was able to get it on the scales. LS swap over christmas break? ---
