a new derailer should fix it
09:12:2002

a few days ago i found myself reminiscing about cycling. in my teens and early twenties i was heavily into bicycling, both racing and touring. i had not thought about cycling in quite some time.

2 days ago i found myself searching for old italian colnago racing bikes on ebay. no intent to buy, just kind of curious.

yesterday i found myself web shopping campagnolo bicycle components (the finest italian old skool outragously expensive components) with the jug head plan of rebuilding a racing bike.

i stopped myself and wondered what triggered this sudden re-intrest in a hobby abandoned 10 years ago. sudden realization. my inner psychologist (not board certified, but cheap) suggested perhaps i am looking back to the most care free and simple time of my life. yearning to ride away from reliving the events of 9-11. i think psychologists are full of crap, but he might just have something there.

odd how the unconscious mind works.
