    Too much bling factor, you guys would be jealous and I'd hear about it every time we rode. I'll go silver.

    So AtomicXRer, has picked Jan 12, for this event. But I have no idea what time he will make his appearance?
    I could really be nice and make some green chili dip too. I better learn how to lace up a wheel by then. :huh

    We used to cut all the spokes with a cutting torch, makes for a quick disassembly esp when the nipples got frozen, sorta like mine feel this morning :rofl

    Since I plan to reuse the spokes, there'll be a 2 beer limit :1drink and no torches, pliers, adjustable wrenches, hammers ect...

    Hey AtomicXRer don't break the wheel down--just let the air out--Dwec can't stand a flat and it is a real show to watch him take it apart:lol3
