BSNYC Appealingly Minimalist Scandinavian Design At Bargain Prices!

Look, I'm not going to waste your time.  You're busy.  I'm busy.  Actually, I'm not busy at all.  Nevertheless, I want to get right into this quiz, because the sooner we finish with it the sooner we can all get out of our pants and into the weekend.

But first, I've received an important bit of information from a reader, which is that a Juggalo bike thief is on the loose in Santy Cruise, Californy:


Maybe he’s just messing with our heads, or maybe we should keep on eye on him. He’s an obese, white male with light brown to blond hair, about 6’2″ tall. Tattoos on both arms; left arm is a crab, right arm is some kind of stylized running man the Insane Clown Posse Juggalo logo. His green backpack with a camouflage pattern looks like about an 8 liter capacity. The trucker cap says “Ontario Heating & Air.”

As I've always said, if you solve the Juggalo problem then you solve the bike theft problem, and if you don't believe there's a Juggalo problem than watch this video again, which I posted once before and which I learned about from Klaus of Cycling Inquisition:


American Juggalo from Sean Dunne on Vimeo.

I wonder if there are any Jewish Juggalos.  I'd be shocked if there were, but you never know.

And now, I'm pleased to present you with a quiz.  As always, study the item, think, and click on your answer.  If you're right you'll know, and if you're wrong you'll see Prof. Russolo and His Noise Intoners.

Thanks very much for reading, ride safe, and stay out of those pants until Monday.

1) This getup is called a:

--Wing suit
--Flying squirrel suit
--Webbed crotch suit
--Moisture-wicking bishop vestement for the active clergyman complete with integrated scranal child-smuggling pouch







2) Taylor Phinney should use his much-lauded solo ride in this year's Tirreno-Adriatico as inspiration to:

--One day win the Tour de France
--Secure a position as team leader
--Start using performance-enhancing drugs
--Quit the sport and get a real job






(Worth every penny I'm sure.)

3) Dentists rejoice!  Which company has finally introduced a $10,000 frameset?

--Serotta
--Cervélo
--Specialized
--Scattante





(Crabon cilnchers: for the Fred who owns a Porsche with an automatic transmission.)

4) Freds rejoice!  Mavic has developed a crabon cilncher wheelset that only costs:

--$275
--$2,750
--$7,500
--$10,000





(This could be you.)

5) Which is not one of ORICA GreenEDGE's "Top 5 Tips To Make It As A Pro Cyclist?"

--Work hard
--Be a team player
--Have a "fire in your belly"
--Cultivate and maintain an armadillo-like "scranus of steel"







6) In order to determine proper stem length, you should:

--Endure a lengthy bike-fitting session that incorporates lots of lasers and a technique that has umlauts in the name
--Solicit advice from people who post on Internet forums
--Use this formula: (S+C) x (B+F)/T = V
--Find a tube that puts your handlebars where you want them and then get on with your life







(Politeistan)

7) Kickstarter is a symptom of a sick and dying society.

--True
--False

I wonder if 'brah' could be fined for that video. Marsupials tend to end up dead on the side of the road even w/o vegan cyclist intervention.

ChamoisJuice said...

So, I found a Cinelli 1R quill stem at my local bike coop. It uses an expander wedge to tighten the bars and looks hella clean. The bolt is stripped, but I am confident that I can tap the wedge and use a slightly bigger bolt.

These things are 26.4mm clamp. Am I asking for trouble to beer can shim it to use 26.0 bars. It looks so clean and period correct.

DerZoots said...

ChamoisJuice

The 1R and beer can shim not so good for the combo. The wedge usually cracks on the edges. The alloy ones do anyway. Steel replacement ones don't. Good luck finding one though.

26.4 bars are easier to get.

Good lucking to you.

Why I rode acrosst Canada by meself without begging on the internet for monies. Back then we didn't have an internet, except for Dr Strangelove. Why is it OK for mallrats wearing the groovy equivalent of squirrel suits to ask idiots to fund their vacations? Is this what happens when everyone thinks like Wesleyan graduates? Get off my lawn etc.

The Armageddon is here, in the form of a faygo induced juggalo takeover. Good thing they're too obese and/or lazy to leave the street corners they post up on. prime targets for ride-by rotten-mayonnaise- balloonings. Don't worry, the most they'll do is "woop" and holler, spouting off endless streams of monosyllabic nonsense- just watch out for the sprinklings of caustic faygo spittle escaping their gaping, mouth-breather northern orifices.

1). That first paragraph was a terrible waste of everybody's time.

2). A scranus of steel would weigh too much. A aspiring pro needs a scranus of crapon, or titanium. I'd go with titanium because, really, who would want to risk the inevitable catastrophic failure of a Crabon scranus.


3). Never seen a wild koala. That one seems to have the same general demeanor as a porcupine, minus the prickly hide.

ChamoisJuice said...

DerZoots,

danke for the advice. 26.4 bars only come in pinner euro widths. I want big honkin' 48cm bars. I kinda have my heart set on the Nitto Noodle bars.

The 1R wedge is steel, though the curved piece the wedge pushes into the bars is alloy. I will try the beer can. If it works, it works. If not, didn't cost me anything.

I also found some campy pedals, with polished toe clips, white leather straps with buttons.

What 102mm BB should I buy? Campy Chorus or Phil? The Phil is $10 cheaper my cost. I am leaning phil, but the chorus would keep the group complete....

Hey I hear the 25.4 annular sacrificial bearing for the 22.2mm Euro baffle grommet really extends the torque arm of the primary pinion reach coupling shaft, and, somehwat counterintuitively, holds up better over time than the 28.6 titanium helical scranus spur.

ChamoisJuice,

Let the 1r go. Shimming a handlebar with that dainty wedge is asking for trouble.

I had one the first time around and sold a few too. Not great for the average heavy-handed shadetree mechanic.

Throw a BB in there that works and go ride. It just doesn't matter that much.

Anonymous said...

The only reason koalas haven't taken over the world in an orgiastic killing-spree bloodbath thing is that their staple diet of eucalyptus leaves sedates them.

When koalas are desperate for a fix, they've been known to dive bomb passing cyclists and rip their throats out.

Google "drop bears".

Insane Clown Posse. Yes!!!! I am so glad that stupid white trash FINALLY have a cause that they can rally around. The man has had his boot on the white man's throat for too long.

You would have thought that Eminem would be enough, but you'd be wrong.

The good thing about the "VEGAN" hand tattoo was that it made it easier to determine the identity of the koala attack victim. There was little else left to work with.

Apparently, a Parks Service koala control team later found the camera phone recording of the victims last minutes amongst droppings in a nearby koala nest.

Let this unfortunate yet all too common incident be a solemn reminder to us all: Nature is not Vegan.

Towards the end, the koala was saying "All right, fuck the cup. Pour it in my hand for a dime."

My dog is so polite, he often apologizes for missing my birthday and explains he forgot I was born yesterday.

Silly guy, yesterday wasn't my birthday. And everyone knows you only have one a year.

And I wish someone could explain his observation after reading the comment about koala's bifurcated anatomy that explains why they founded Johnson & Johnson.

Honestly, I don't get half the stuff he says.

You do realize that riding with no helmet makes you responsible for all the ills of the world, right? I mean, it makes you worse than Hitler. Maybe Hitler-Stalin-Mussolini all on a bad hair day would equal the evils of someone who would endanger the lives of their children and their childrens' children by going head-naked. Hyperbole? Okay, maybe. But seriously, dude, you should wear a helmet. And ditch the phones. I mean, I've seen you, and your hair is not so special that it's going to suffer from a helmet that much.

Dude, it sounds like you're comparing a choice between being some kind of bicycle-rider and being, say, Lance Armstrong's artisnal handcrafted minimalist internal thermometer-finder (the guy who finds it after it has . . . mmmmmm . . . done its job and exited. It's cycling, for gods' sakes. Nobody in the U.S. gives a crap about ANY of it except nerds and old people.
