		<description><![CDATA[The new bike I&#8217;m building is a single speed with an eccentric bottom bracket. I&#8217;ve got a pretty bad taste in my mouth from horizontal dropouts, and I&#8217;d rather avoid them if possible. I figure I&#8217;ll give this eccentric bottom bracket thing a shot and see what all the fuss is. The advantage of the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve got the cross bike done, rides nice. Minimal hiccups along the way. Building the bike all alone in my basement led to different challenges than I had when I built with Doug. Most of those revolved around not having access to all the nice jigs and tooling. In some areas I made my own [...]]]></description>

So I borrowed a scale from my buddy Dan and then dorked out New Frame: 4lbs 2 oz. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today was the first day of my time at Doug Fattic&#8217;s two week frame building class. Today was from what I can tell the most uneventful day as far as building, but interesting in terms of the history we learned and some of the things we learned about fitting.

My plan is to build a road go fast / all day rider kind of bike. Something with road angles, and maybe slightly longer than normal chain stays. The bike [...]]]></description>

The Good: Its fricken huge, like cavernous, this bag will eat other bags, and then more. I&#8217;ve been able to do our regular grocery run, a weeks worth of food [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So I&#8217;ve had the bike for awhile now. I&#8217;ve put about 2000ish miles on it so far. The bulk of that has been around town to and from work or the grocery store. I also did RAGBRAI, which about 450 miles over a week. Over all I&#8217;m pretty happy. I&#8217;m still working out the kinks [...]]]></description>
