did I forget to mention my new bike?

I believe I did.  My good buddy Dudeman was at out of town on my birthday. After getting back to town, he recently was at a swapmeet, when he noticed this thing and decided that it would be the perfect gift. I agree. Let’s just say that it’s the perfect grocery-getter, or the perfect barley-blaster, or the perfect festival-finder, or even the perfect parade-pedaler.  Read ‘em and weep…

I’d go ahead and say something silly like, “My shoes for the other bike are more expensive than this bike.”, but let’s face it…pretty much any of the supplemental gear that I use for the main bike is going to be more expensive than Mr Nutter Butter. Even brand new it might have been $50. Dudeman paid $15.

That’s one pair of socks.

After rebuilding it from the ground up, I’m going to see about putting ONE really expensive item on the bike so that those who know will see that it’s a serious ride seriously stupid ride, as far as beater, swap-meet bikes go.  I can’t tell from the picture (I haven’t actually taken delivery of it yet) some of the specifics of the various parts, so I’m not certain if it will take 9/16 or 1/2 pedals, but if I can’t get a $200 pair of pedals I might have to look into a $100 saddle or a carbon seatpost or something.

I’m psyched!

    Actually I talked the guy down to 10 bucks… SUCKER. Its brand new. I bet 3 or 4 packages of Nutter Butter’s cost more than this thing

    Nice add, Mudbutt. If I do aerobars (which I most certainly will NOT! They’d RUIN this wonderful ride) though, I’ll do the old Scott ClipOns. http://forums.roadbikereview.com/showthread.php?p=2074603
