Thanks again guys. Right now I am surgically rebuilding my pedals and shopping for some Stelvio Schwalbe 26X1.1. I gotta get some Teflon grease tomorrow to make my special mix of grease. Next will be repacking the hubs. I plan on making a rear wheel disk and mark it "Team Ratrodbikes.com" since you are all cheering along.

You're definitely putting more thought into this than most other alleycat'ers (that's a good thing). The fact that they've already published the route tho tells me its more organized than a traditional 'alleycat' or messenger race. Every one I've ever done (too many to count) is a show up, get your manifest, look at a map for 5min, choose your own route and haul butt when they say go kinda thing.
...for the wife, I stopped doing them when I hit 32. I've been hit by way too many cars on both my bicycle and my motorcycle.

That is a good lookin' bike, clean and simple. Center stands make a bike look racey...comes from my motorcycle racin' days, I guess.

good luck man and if nothing else you are going to have a great time! I do not have the guts to do that so keep us all posted.


I always like that vid with this song
