Following through on a campaign promise from last year's battle for control of the state legislature, victorious House Republicans voted Thursday to repeal North Carolina's Racial Justice Act.
UPDATE: In a big surprise, Senate leaders said they will not take up the bill before adjournment.
"When we come back in May, I guess we will pick it up then," said Sen. Tom Apodaca, a Republican from Hendersonville. "We had our schedule for tonight, and that was not on it. I want to go to the mountains."
Approved in a 2009 party-line vote when Democrats were in charge, the act allows an inmate facing the death penalty to file an appeal asking a judge to consider whether racial prejudice played a role in his or her sentence. If such evidence is compelling, the law gives state judges the discretion to commute sentences from death to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
In a 63-53 vote that fell along party lines, the House passed Senate Bill 9, "No Discriminatory Purpose in Death Penalty," which repeals the Racial Justice Act. The bill now returns to the Senate.
On Thursday, House Republicans said the new law had resulted in clogged courts as nearly

BOISE--The Boise State Broncos have now had two full days to digest their season-opening, 32-point loss to the Washington Huskies. The feeling is still a bit raw.
"It was little bit frustrating," senior wide receiver Geraldo Boldewijn said. "But you can tell it was just little mistakes that we made. They capitalized on those."
"It leaves a bad taste in your mouth. I think our guys are ready," junior linebacker Blake Renaud said. "The lucky thing is we've got more games to play this year and we're looking forward to it."
Now the Broncos are focused on correcting their mistakes and moving forward. They also realize that there are positives to take away from the loss.
"The most important thing is that they played hard," head coach Chris Petersen said. "We'll get them dialed in. If we can continue to practice like we've been practicing, not lose focus, and continue to improve, we'll be okay."
The Broncos will have a chance to bounce back when they host Tennessee-Martin for the home-opener at Bronco Stadium on Saturday.

It's like getting mocked by Elmer Fudd. What a stupid hat
Court Vision: Jay-Z gloats after Nets top Knicks
By Ben Golliver
• The Point Forward took a crack at surprises and disappointments on Tuesday morning. Kevin Pelton of Basketball Prospectus writes that no player has underachieved more, relative to preseason projections, than Rockets guard Jeremy Lin.
There are two factors at play here. First, Lin simply hasn't been very good so far with the Rockets, playing at a level barely better than replacement. Beyond that, his initial projection was highly uncertain because of his limited action the last two seasons. Add it up and Lin's projection has dropped far more than anyone else in the league. Of course, when Houston signed Lin, Daryl Morey imagined him in a very different role than the one he is now playing next to James Harden. Lin is best with the ball in his hands, and poor outside shooting (24.3 percent on threes) makes him little threat spotting up. The decline has been even more severe inside the arc; Lin has shot 4-of-23 (17.4 percent) on long twos, per Hoopdata.com, after making 43 percent a year ago. The rest of Lin's game has been solid — his steal rate is back near where it was in garbage time with Golden State as a rookie — so he can live up to his above-average projection for the remainder of the year if he finds his missing jump shot.
• Nets minority owner Jay-Z talked a little smack after his team defeated the Knicks on Monday.
The city is under new management.
— Mr. Carter (@S_C_) November 27, 2012
• Then the New York Daily News got in on the Jay-Z punning, as noted by Trey Kerby.
• NetsDaily.com has a cool look at what it was like inside Barclays Center from the Nets fan perspective.
There would be no let-up in support, no stoic resolve when the Nets slipped behind as they did almost all game. It was all about volume, about shouting and standing and chanting that now famous, goosebump-inducing, rhythmic, pounding "Brook–lyn," until it hurt the vocal cords as much as it hurt the guys in orange and blue near us.
As Avery Johnson said after the game, a knowing smile crossing his face, "Every time some sort of Knick contingent started to cheer, our fans got louder. This is what we've been dreaming about since I've been here. Its a nice feeling. I'm glad we rewarded our fans with a victory. They deserve it."
• Seth at Knicks blog Posting and Toasting singles out a certain point guard in New York's loss to Brooklyn.
Raymond Felton was not cooking soup. Raymond Felton took all the ingredients one might use to make soup and splattered them against the rim and backboard. There were stretches in the second half in which Felton was penetrating but just unable to finish at the rim, and others in which his pick-and-rolls fed Chandler quite nicely. All that is fine, but everything else was downright ghastly. Brooklyn gave Felton a ton of space over picks and he busily exploited that space to chuck increasingly off-balance (like, by the last one, I think he was standing on one hand and shooting with his ankles) jumpers and bust out some borderline obscene runners off the bounce. I'd love for Felton to incorporate a teardrop floater into his game. Side-arming a low-arcing push shot three feet short of the rim does not qualify as a teardrop, though it does generate teardrops from those who bear witness. Anyway, I'm not as totally appalled with Felton as some people seem to be, but 3-19 shooting is 3-19 shooting. Very, very bad.
• John Hollinger slips in a clever current events reference in a rundown of the Knicks.
The Knicks, meanwhile, have lost three of four, but their start was so strong that they still hold the second spot — especially when one considers they've played only five home games. In New York's case, it's been a series of unrelated surprises expanding its talent base, with factors such as a position shift (Carmelo Anthony), an unretirement (Rasheed Wallace), an unexpected rejuvenation (Jason Kidd) and the bankruptcy of Hostess (Raymond Felton).
• Andrew Bynum's knee injuries has Zach Lowe looking back on the summer trade that landed him in Philadelphia.
It's fascinating to play the "What if?" game here: What if Philly had passed on playing the facilitator role in fear of Bynum's knee issues? Would Howard still be in Orlando? Almost certainly not. Would Brooklyn have gotten back in the game on January 15, when Lopez, scoring like gangbusters now and playing better defense, becomes trade-eligible under his new max deal? Or would the Magic have dealt Howard to Houston in August? And if that had happened, where would James Harden be now?
With Houston out of the Harden sweepstakes, would Toronto (Jonas Valanciunas and picks), Golden State (Klay Thompson and other assets) or Utah (two young players and a couple of picks) gotten deeper into Harden talks? The removal of Houston might have simply bought Oklahoma City more time to feel out its internal finances, monitor Kendrick Perkins as an amnesty candidate, and take Harden's temperature on accepting a five-year deal after the season. It has been reported widely that before October 31 Oklahoma City could offer only a four-year extension to Harden, having used its five-year "designated player" bullet on Russell Westbrook. But had the Thunder controlled Harden's rights this summer in free agency, they would have been the only team allowed to offer him a five-year contract at that time. Would Harden have been willing to accept a discount in exchange for that extra year?
• Andrew Sharp, hilariously cruel, on Wizards sophomore Jan Vesely.
Meanwhile, there's Jan Vesely, the Wizards lottery pick from two years ago. So far this year, Vesely has more fouls than points, which is just perfect. But to be clear: He's not actually this awful. He's on an awful team. If Jan Vesely went to the Spurs he'd probably turn into a next-generation Andrei Kirilenko one day. On the Wizards he's hopeless.
• Hornets guard Eric Gordon is still without a timetable but he says he's getting better.
• Lakers forward Metta World Peace hawks a cell phone that's also a watch.
• Spin Magazine runs down NBA shout outs in rap songs. The Heat apparently get the most love, edging out the Knicks, Clippers and Bulls.
JayZ look like Joe Camel after getting hit in the face by a truck.
Brooklyn, isn't it too early to rejoice? There are just too many unforeseen circumstances in the NBA - injuries, attitude is, etc. There are how many games to play in an NBA season? And no team has played 20 games yet Premature to rejoice..
That face is being kissed by Beyonce every night!

local firm wins national award
Kerri White, one of the owners of Mt. Lassen Log and Timber Frame HomesLLC, won the highly coveted Country's Best Design Award for 2012 for the best house plan
|Chris Gibbs has opened Flying Monkeys in Greenville. He said that since the county's roadways have become a popular motorcycle riders' destination, Chris decided to create a shopping stop for these riders and for locals as well. The store features the Vanson line of high quality leather jackets, pants, gloves and leather purses. He also carries work apparel including logger jeans and shirts, all American made. Chris has lived in the Lake Almanor area since 2001. Photo by Valorie Chisholm
under 1,500 squarefeet. Thousands of architects and designers from all over the country compete for this major national award. Large architectural firms who have many architects and designers working for them commonly win it. Feather River is the name of the model that won Kerri and her company the honors; she added that it will be constructed at Almanor West in next few months.
Obviously, Kerri has every right to be proud of this accomplishment. If she were writing songs instead of designing houses this would have been her Grammy! Congratulations, Kerri, for your hard work, amazing talent and for putting Chester and Plumas County on the map!
vote to help a local business
Sharon Roberts at the St. Bernard Lodge in Mill Creek (just west of Chester) needs our help. She has applied for a grant from Chase and LivingSocial to add five cabins and to restore the large pond on the property to allow kids to fish as in the past. To be considered for one of the 12 business restoration grants offered, Sharon needs 250 votes by June 30, and she is currently 107 shy of that total. To vote your support for this local business go to missionsmallbusiness.com and log in with your Facebook username/password. Then type St. Bernard Lodge, State: California; City: Mill Creek; then click search. Next click on the blue vote button to the right of St. Bernard Lodge. It's that simple, but it has to be done by 5 p.m. June 30.
Sharon, by the way, successfully secured a $5,000 grant for the Chester Lake Almanor fireworks show!
showtime in las vegas
David and Florence Price just returned from Las Vegas where they attended a national jewelry show. Florence said she is excited to be offering the new line of Author Courts jewelry, while David described how much fun he had picking out stones and quartz for his store from the Starborne Creation jewelry lines. Be sure to visit David Price Jewelers in Chester to see the additions and the many other treasures they sell.
realtor joins smith properties
Larry and Donna Smith, owners of Smith Properties, welcome Realtor Kristen Stelzriede to their Lake Almanor office. Kristen is a longtime resident of the Chester/Lake Almanor area. You can visit with her in their office at 313 Peninsula Drive, or call 596-3232.
new menu items at mill creek
Scott and Delores Satterlee at Mill Creek Fish & Chips have added some summer eating items to their menu. On Saturdays they will be serving Indian tacos and on Fridays they are cooking their ever-popular smoked ribs and tri-tip dinners. Jennifer Satterlee encourages customers to call the East Quincy restaurant ahead to reserve a tri-tip or rib meal for later pickup.
I mentioned last week that Patti Long Buchholtz and her ABSolute Fitness and Health facilityis celebrating its ninth anniversary. Unfortunately, I inadvertently said they were located in the Plumas Pines Rec Center near Graeagle. They are located at Plumas Pines but in a private fitness studio, not affiliated with the Rec Center. For more information call 836-1153.
beats staying alone at home
If you need a place for your dog to hang out while you shop or if it's too hot to leave your pup in the car while you shop, consider Avonna's Critter Clippers on Highway 147 at Lake Almanor. Owner Avonna Burkman just finished her outdoor Doggie Day Care area. It's a large fenced-in grassy area with plenty of shade trees when it is time to nap. Hourly and day rates are available. Don't forget, Avonna's carries "pet bling" and the very popular custom bandanas.
more anniversaries to mention…
Gary and Ellen Foss of Lakeside Construction and Painting are celebrating their business's 33rd year. Gary is a general contractor and also offers specialized bat and bird removal services.
Rick Williams marks a successful 11-year anniversary with Timberline Materials on Highway 36, just west of Chester. Rick started with a few bays of rock and soil and has expanded to selling both decorative and utility rock, soil, bark, sand and the like.
Thirteen years ago Leslie and Jeff Greenwood opened Sierra Valley Barns. Some of the products they manufacture at their Highway 70 facility just east of Beckwourth include horse barns, tack rooms and economical barn-style storage buildings in a variety of sizes.
Bob and Dorothy Farnworth have been boarding pets for Quincy area folks for 36 years at DMF Boarding Kennels on Highway 70 just east of town.
In their first 11 years, Plumas Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) has successfully found homes for thousands of cats and kittens throughout Plumas County. Thank you, and here's wishing you that same kind of success in the years to come!
Here's another big one: Pete and Joyce Dryers have owned and operated the Twain General Store for 30 years! If you are driving down the Canyon, you should stop and visit and have a look at their photo albums and newspaper clippings of years gone by.

I haven't seen him respond yet, but StarWarsDave has a much better costume and is already Official. I'll ask him to come respond to this on Facebook after work today. If for some reason he can't and you're in a bind, I may be able to help but mine is not "Official" yet- but darn close.
My Han is ESB. I know Dave already has ANH, but working on ESB & ROTJ.
For what its worth, here is a picture of mine so far. FYI: I just got the correct stripes for the paints, but haven't sewn them on yet.

I just did a troop up in Sellersville a few weeks ago and it wasn't that bad of a drive (3 1/2 hours)
I've been talking to Dave on FB and he'll do it

April 24 2014 Latest news:

Buses and trains in Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft have been cancelled, but a "very limited" service is now operating between Colchester and Norwich.
However, National Rail advised passengers not to travel unless their journey is essential.
In a statement on its website, Greater Anglia said: "Due to the storm warnings in place along coastal routes the following services will be suspended from 19:30 tonight: Ipswich-Felixstowe, Beccles-Lowestoft, Norwich to Greater Yarmouth and Norwich to Lowestoft.
There is also a reduced service between London and Colchester, with delays of up to 60 minutes.
East Midlands Trains said there were delays of up to 50 minutes on its services to and from Norwich.
First Norwich said all Great Yarmouth buses will stop at about 8pm, with the last departing from the James Paget Hospital at 8.30pm.
All its buses in Lowestoft will stop at 9pm.
A number of roads are blocked because of fallen trees or cables.
Fallen trees are causing delays on the B1150 in Horstead, Broad Lane in Great Plumstead, and Castle Lane in West Caister, while Kerdiston Road in Themelthorpe is blocked by fallen power cables.
There were severe rush hour delays to the Norwich outer ring road, the A140, and the A148 in King's Lynn.
There are no reported problems at Norwich International Airport.
Greater Anglia said it would work overnight to make repairs to the damaged overhead wires, but told customers planning to travel tomorrow to check before setting out.

So the trade deadline has come and gone and I feel we can start to make educated guesses on what the 2014 team will look like. I would like to hear ppl's thoughts on some free agents the cubs might sign? Remember the Cubs only have 49.7 million committed next year plus Arb raises and besides a decent bump in pay for Schierholtz and Wood and a big jump in pay for Shark the Cubs have a lot of money to spend. Lets say for this the Cubs will spend 110 million next year (pretend the Cubs have 50 million to spend) Here is my guess:
Cubs sign Dioneer Navaro for 2 yr 8 million, Sign Shin-Soo Choo 4 yr 60 million if miss out on him sign Jason Kubel signs 2 yr 12 million, sign Phil Hughes 3 yr 33 million, and Kelly Johnson on a 2 yr 8 million deal. If the cubs miss out on Choo and go the Kubel route I could see them going after Josh Johnson and before you bash him realize since coming off the DL in June he has had a lot better numbers and thats pitching in the AL East.
Vs Righties/lefties
Dejesus/ Lake cf
Pitching: Shark
As for the bullpen I feel we are pretty set: Fujikaw, Strop, Russell, and others. Am I being delusional but I think that team could have chance at sneaking into a wild card spot. With a little luck of course.

David Foster Wallace — This is Water (Commencement Speech at Kenyon College, May 21st, 2005) [pdf]
The point here is that I think this is one part of what teaching me how to think is really supposed to mean. To be just a little less arrogant. To have just a little critical awareness about myself and my certainties. Because a huge percentage of the stuff that I tend to be automatically certain of is, it turns out, totally wrong and deluded…
Because here's something else that's weird but true: in the day-to day trenches of adult life, there is actually no such thing as atheism. There is no such thing as not worshiping. Everybody worships. The only choice we get is what to worship. And the compelling reason for maybe choosing some sort of god or spiritual-type thing to worship — be it JC or Allah, bet it YHWH or the Wiccan Mother Goddess, or the Four Noble Truths, or some inviolable set of ethical principles — is that pretty much anything else you worship will eat you alive. If you worship money and things, if they are where you tap real meaning in life, then you will never have enough, never feel you have enough. It's the truth. Worship your body and beauty and sexual allure and you will always feel ugly. And when time and age start showing, you will die a million deaths before they finally grieve you. On one level, we all know this stuff already. It's been codified as myths, proverbs, clichés, epigrams, parables; the skeleton of every great story. The whole trick is keeping the truth up front in daily consciousness.
Worship power, you will end up feeling weak and afraid, and you will need ever more power over others to numb you to your own fear. Worship your intellect, being seen as smart, you will end up feeling stupid, a fraud, always on the verge of being found out. But the insidious thing about these forms of worship is not that they're evil or sinful, it's that they're unconscious. They are default settings. They're the kind of worship you just gradually slip into, day after day, getting more and more selective about what you see and how you measure value without ever being fully aware that that's what you're doing.
And the so-called real world will not discourage you from operating on your default settings, because the so-called real world of men and money and power hums merrily along on the fuel of fear and anger and frustration and craving and worship of self. Our own present culture has harnessed these forces in ways that have yielded extraordinary wealth and comfort and personal freedom. The freedom all to be lords of our own tiny skull-sized kingdoms, alone at the center of all creation. This kind of freedom has much to recommend it. But of course there are all different kinds of freedom, and the kind that is most precious you will not hear much talk about much in the great outside world of wanting and achieving and displaying. The really important kind of freedom involves attention and awareness and discipline, and being able truly to care about other people and to sacrifice for them over and over in myriad petty, unsexy ways every day.

A local developer has offered to build a new jail adjacent to the Justice Center, a cost of $65 million, in return for the county leasing it for 30 years at $10 million a year, according to The Enquirer. The developer, Rob Smyjunas, said the offer isn't about making a profit, just making the county better for his and other families.
Mayor Mallory didn't answer The Enquirer's questions about the potential for a Council majority to block the property tax increase in City Manager Milton Dohoney's proposed budget. A Mallory spokesman says he'll work behind the scenes on a budget that will win a Council majority and that he's off to New Orleans for a conference on reclaiming vacant properties.

A video of middle school kids in upstate New York bullying a 68-year-old bus monitor has drawn international media attention. The woman says the kids are all pretty much normal and are OK to deal with one-on-one.
The bullying continues unabated for about 10 minutes in the video, reducing Klein to tears as a giggling student jabs her arm with a book. Recorded by a student Monday with a cell phone camera, the brazen example of bullying went viral and spurred international outrage.
A population of chinstrap penguins in Antarctica has declined by 36 percent due to melting sea ice.
"Actually, in the '90s it was thought that the climate change would favor the chinstrap penguin, because this species prefers sea waters without ice, unlike the Adelie penguin, which prefers the ice pack," study researcher Andres Barbosa told LiveScience. He added that at the time, chinstraps, named for the thin black facial line from cheek to cheek, seemed to increase in numbers, with some new colonies being established. The sea-ice decline in the winter, however, has become so big that it is now impacting krill populations, said Barbosa, of the National Museum of Natural Sciences in Madrid.

DC Comics' Green Lantern is revealed to be gay in an issue that comes out next week. Green Lantern is one of the comics' oldest heroes and the latest in a growing number of out superheroes. From the San Jose Mercury News:
In May, Marvel Entertainment said super speedster Northstar will marry his longtime boyfriend in the pages of "Astonishing X-Men." DC comics has other gay characters, too, including Kate Kane, the current Batwoman.
And in the pages of Archie Comics, Kevin Keller is one of the gang at Riverdale High School and gay, too.
Some groups have protested the inclusion of gay characters, but Robinson isn't discouraged, noting that being gay is just one aspect to Scott.
"This guy, he's a media mogul, a hero, a dynamic type-A personality and he's gay," Robinson said. "He's a complex character."
The Ohio Supreme Court late last week dismissed a legal challenge by the Campaign to Protect Marriage, which had filed a motion challenging the attorney general's authority to verify a proposed constitutional amendment that would allow same-sex marriage. The Freedom to Marry coalition is collecting the necessary signatures to put a repeal of the state's 2004 amendment that only recognizes marriage as between a man and a woman on the ballot in 2013.
City Councilman Wendell Young says there's nothing secret about a plan to combine the region's water and sewer agencies even though most people assumed to be needed for approval know little about it.

City Leaders have decided that they
don't need to sell Music Hall to a private organization in order for
the historic building to receive tax credits toward its renovation.
Mayor Mallory on Sunday told The Enquirer that selling the building
was not part of any discussion he's willing to have. While city
leaders hope a public-private partnership like that which has
renovated Washington Park can help update the building, organizers
with the Music Hall Revitalization Co. say some donors willing to
contribute to the private renovation of the building will not
contribute to the project while it is city owned. On Saturday, the Music Hall Revitalization Co.'s leader, Jack Rouse, resigned.
First they had a giant bridge built over their neighborhood. Now the residents of Lower Price Hill who live near the Sixth Street viaduct hope construction crews can take it down without causing too many clouds of lead paint dust to cover their homes.

Ohio's second of four new casinos is set to open in Toledo next week. Cleveland's casino opened last week, while Columbus' Hollywood Casino is scheduled to open this fall with Cincinnati's Horseshoe in-line for an early 2013 unveiling.
Jury selection in the trail of former Goldman Sachs/Procter & Gamble board member Rajat Gupta began today in federal court in Manhattan. Gupta is accused of insider trading stemming from a 2008 phone call that authorities have already used to convict hedge fund manager Raj Rajaratnam, who is currently serving an 11-year sentence. From the AP:
Rajaratnam has been the biggest catch so far in a wide-ranging insider-trading investigation by U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara that's resulted in more than two dozen prosecutions of white collar defendants. But based on Gupta's standing in the world of finance, his trial could draw more attention — and a potential conviction could resonate farther.
Aside from his role at Goldman Sachs, the Indian-born Gupta is the former chief of McKinsey & Co., a highly regarded global consulting firm that zealously guards its reputation for discretion and integrity.
Gupta, 63, is also a former director of the huge consumer products company Procter & Gamble Co., a pillar of American industry and one of the 30 companies that make up the Dow Jones industrial average. P&G owns many well-known brands including Bounty, Tide and Pringles.
Researchers have created a national registry of wrongful conviction exonerations that has identified 873 faulty convictions during the past 23 years that have been recognized by authorities. The registry's founders say the collection is only a fraction of such convictions and that it demonstrates a serious problem with America's criminal justice system.
"What this shows is that the criminal justice system makes mistakes, and they are more common than people think," said University of Michigan law professor Samuel Gross, the registry's editor. "It is not the rule, but we won't learn to get better unless we pay attention to these cases."
Mitt Romney is having some trouble getting conservative donors to back his campaign. Meanwhile, Obama continues to talk about Romney's business dealings.
The John Edwards jury is still in deliberations today trying to determine whether the former Democratic presidential candidate conspired to violate election laws while hiding an extramarital affair during his campaign. Prosecutors say Edwards solicited more than $900,000 from a 101-year-old woman named Rachel "Bunny" Mellon and a Texas lawyer to hide a child from his wife, who had cancer at the time.

The private group hoping to purchase Music Hall for $1 is now asking for $10 million in city contributions to its effort to update the historic building, double the initial $5 million it asked for. The Music Hall Revitalization Co. says failing to strike a deal before June 1 will jeopardize the proposed $165 million renovation. Among the updates the city is being asked to fund are $75,000 buffers to block noise from the streetcar and a $150,000 escrow account to pay for any future disruptions due to the streetcar.
City Council yesterday spent some time considering ways to fix the city's retirement fund deficit. Cincinnati's retirement board wants the city to contribute $67 million to the pension system this year, though Council has reportedly contributed only about half of that.

Cincinnati's' Horseshoe is scheduled to open next year.

National police spokesman Boy Rafli Amar, responding to the pressure, said Tuesday that the permit for her June 3 "Born This Way Ball" concert had been denied.
Indonesia, a nation of 240 million people, has more Muslims than any other. Although it is secular and has a long history of religious tolerance, a small extremist fringe has become more vocal in recent years.
Hard-liners have loudly criticized Lady Gaga, saying the suggestive nature of her show threatened to undermine the country's moral fiber. Some threatened to use physical force to prevent her from stepping off the plane.
Lawmakers and religious leaders, too, have spoken out against her.

To my 40 Instructables subscribers, and anyone who stumbles across this and likes it, be sure to take a look, as much of what I write isn't quite right for an Instructable.)
Bikes are perhaps the greatest human invention of all time.
They get you from where you are to where you want to between 2 and 5 times as fast as you could walk there, but they use absolutely no fossil fuel or external energy what-so-ever, which means they have basically no environmental impact and no operating costs beyond the original manufacture and purchase.
However, if you are not already a "bike person", the amount of choices in type and brand and size and accessories can be overwhelming. If you buy new from a local bike shop, the salesperson will most likely walk you through the process of deciding what will fit your needs, but if you want to save money (and further reduce your eco-footprint) you should really buy everything you possible can used.
So, for the beginners who know just about nothing about bikes but want to get one from Craigslist, or perhaps a thriftstore or yardsale, I'm going to break down for you exactly what to look for and what to avoid.
(I also put it together myself with the help of my bike mechanic friends. So I know it was assembled correctly.)
All the information in this is great to know! And I wish I had found this first, it would've saved me hours of research. I only wished I lived in a more bike friendly community. I live in a very rural area where commuting by bike is very impractical due to the fact that everything is so far away.
One small item: in step 5, paragraph 7 or so, should "...and are (in theory**) less prone to flats." read "...more prone to flats?"
Your footnote seems to suggest that.
It has been fixed
I worked in retail where they sold these bikes of today and delt with some of the returns.
Your far better to find a good frame and put the parts on it, of the quality your willing to pay for. The worst part of todays bike is, they have kids put them together, lucky if they can tie their own shoes. Its realy sad ( recycle a Bicycle )
Its just an example, to show what a triple chainring looks like.
Trek 2120, one of the earliest carbon bikes - carbon main tubes, joined with aluminum lugs, and with aluminum stays and fork. I replaced the wheels with spinergys, the shifters with 105 STI, otherwise mostly left it stock.
Not race worthy by modern standards, but under 20lbs with water bottle and tools.
It got stolen last year by friends of my neighbor while I was on the East Coast for US Coast Guard training. It was locked to my touring bike (1970s Univega Gran Turismo) inside my locked shed, so they cut the steel frame to get to it.
I miss that bike :(
I recommend always using a U-lock, and always locking both wheels.
But in my case, I was gone for 3 months, and everyone in the neighborhood knew it. The thieves took their time, and cleared out my tool shed and bike shed.
I don't live their anymore.
As it happened, a big city bus was starting up right behind me. Exciting few seconds there when the handlebars went all floppy and I hobbled over to the curb. The bus was kind enough not to run me over.
Took the bike back to the shop and he gave me a whole new front end. But I decided maybe I should get a real bike for my commute. I did and love it. Rides like a dream.
What are their pros and cons?
I could just see myself looking down at a digital readout, "Oh wow, I'm going over 40 CRASH!" Was that miles per hour or kilometers? I'll ask the nurse if I wake up. I decided I was better off not knowing.
The point: in some situations (such as mine, daily) the distraction could be dangerous.
What are their pros and cons?
What is the propose of having one?
long distance, speed check, timer, ect.
I just got it, so when I get the money I am going to put some slightly more road based tire on it.
Pros - its fun to know how fast you are going and how far you went. It can be useful if you are training for a sports event, or if you are doing long-distance touring.
Cons - no real cons, but they don't offer much of practical value to the casual commuter.
I have one on one bike, not on the other 3.
If you want a jumping bike i recommend the specialized P1 or P2. Very good bikes. My P1 has not broken yet except for flat tires! GT is also a good brand!
Do you know the year?//
Large fine ball bearing pedals alum with tiny nubs sticking up. This bike is like new except for rotten tires. Also the loose wheel bearings are rusted some . I will try to lap them smooth again and dead true with laping compound. Has anyone done this???
I ordered the 2.75 or 2.95 for the rear Max 75# pressure and it is really FAT. (carefull you must get the super large tube dont trust a 2.5 tube, its 25% too small. I have a 2.25 for the front. I learned long ago fat hi-volume tires really smooth out the ride and last much longer. Used on my too 29" it now rides like a Cad and will pass a rice rocket, on the hi speed turns easily.
I dont need a stiff, heavy, rough ride sprung front end, with a Alunimum super-stiff,frame. I just dumped this bike... Iam using a sprung seat too.
I guess it probably varies with where you live. I have never seen anything but 20 year old walmart style bikes at the thrift stores around here.
That said, if you have the choice between a Schwinn Varsity and a Raleigh Superbe...get the Raleigh. 3 Piece cranks and...other...brake technologies ARE superior to the old types.
