Temps were bitter cold for IC today. I don't care if you live in Canada and it was -40F. Life around these parts got rough and fast. The wind wasn't terrible. Work sucked a little until a nice little package showed up to the shop. Apparently the boys and girls over at Chris King ship in an extra fast manner. Also if you are interested they apparently have all of their tools for their new outboard bearing BB's available. Tasty little morsels those are. They are going to make so many people's lives better with that little technilogical advancement.
I have a nice red one on the way and the previously named Cakeman, now named EX-Man has one on the way. The brushed aluminum of the EX9 will look mighty fine with a silver one stuffed in between a silver Race Face Atlas crankset. Little does he know what he is getting. Now I am regretting the black hubs on the I9's that he is getting. Still I think those wheels will be unstoppable.
On another front, LH Thomson should start making their 31.6mm layback posts in silver. Has everyone forgotten about silver components? They are getting rarer and rarer. You have to do some work to find metal as opposed to carbon these days. This coming from a guy loading up on carbon and all sorts of good bits to mate with his carbon frame. At least I'm not running carbon cranks. I know they look nice, but I am an aluminum crank kind of guy. Maybe Edge Composites should hook up with Mr. Stan and get some bead hook technology.
And in other note the Shortcake wants mentioned more often. Or more so at all. Her booty cheeks are cold. Not a surprise in these temps.
