Been working the past couple years on making my other bikes more useable. I've got my main Mondonico for road, and my Rocky Mountain Blizzard as my mountain bike, but I'm one of those who just can't get rid of stuff, so I've still got my Specialized Sirrus that was my first road bike, and both of my Stumpjumpers. The Sirrus I was riding when the weather wasn't that great, or the Mondonico might need some mechanical work, but I put fenders on it a few years ago, and ride it more in the winter/early spring when the roads are sloppy and salty, or in light rains. My M2 Stumpjumper hangs on the wall, as its wheels have been cannibalized for the Blizzard. But my old steel Stumpjumper just sat neglected for the most part. So last winter, I put fenders on it, and rode that when the roads were really sloppy or icy. And last week, I added a rack and pack to it, intending to use it more often to just cruise around town, quick trips to the store, any other uses I might think of. Just a way to increase its versatility, and its usefullness. And I love this bike. I've ridden it more in the last year+ than I had in the previous ten. This past week, I did all my grocery shopping with it. And it's a great riding bike, probably rides better than the M2 Stump, with front shock that I replaced it with. Just made me realize that I'm a steel guy, I like the way steel bikes ride. Final pieces are probably a lighting set-up, and maybe some skinnier/slick tires for the warm months, and studded tires for the winter months. But anyway, here's some pics of what it looks like now. Really, this whole thing was just an excuse to post pictures of my bike. ;D earlier this spring, out for a ride. ![]() i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee159/rufus21_photos/my%20bikes/1992%20Stumpjumper Comp/6cbbfce8.jpg[/IMG] and now ![]() i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee159/rufus21_photos/my%20bikes/1992%20Stumpjumper Comp/542fe28e.jpg[/IMG] ![]() i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee159/rufus21_photos/my%20bikes/1992%20Stumpjumper Comp/3af3d852.jpg[/IMG] ![]() i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee159/rufus21_photos/my%20bikes/1992%20Stumpjumper Comp/4573d871.jpg[/IMG] ![]() i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee159/rufus21_photos/my%20bikes/1992%20Stumpjumper Comp/a766dd55.jpg[/IMG] ![]() i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee159/rufus21_photos/my%20bikes/1992%20Stumpjumper Comp/a6e17088.jpg[/IMG] |

must have bought that bike second-hand, seeing as that seat post is ½-way to the friggin moon...and i know whereof i speak, that most of my bikes have needed an extra long seat post to allow me to extend my legs. not that there's anything wrong with that....  |

nope, just the way sloping toptubes work. And that first pic there might be a bit of an optical illusion due to angle and such, it's not really extended that much.

Top Ten Reasons I Hate the FFUS (fat fuck upstairs):
10. Having to hear Mambo #5 blasted at high volumes. In addition, Candy Girl and the Macarena... oh, and some stupid Usher song that I don't know the name of. I now know the lyrics of these songs because they're played so much, and I hated them before the brainwashing.
9. The guy is such a loser that he looked in my window while I was having sex and then told me about it... during this exchange he asked me to measure my dick because he wants to know exactly how big it is.
8. He and the woman next door are buddies and they call each other "Mary."
7. Rather than knock on said woman's door he stands outside and screams "Maaaarrrry" until she comes to door and then he proceeds to talk loudly at the door rather than go inside.
6. He is really fat. He walks around outside in skimpy little shorts without any shirt on. His pregnant belly and pierced nipples on his bitch tits are not attractive to look at.
5. He's the type of queer that gives the rest of us homos a bad name.
4. He talks like Rosie Perez.
3. He does gardening around the house as a hobby, and then bitches to everyone about how the landlord doesn't pay him for it. I doubt the landlord really gives a fuck about flowers.
2. He collects social security from the government to do nothing, while he is very capable of working since he does under the table work for the landlord. He even cleaned this apartment before I moved in.
1a. He is part of what we term "garbage people."
1b. I evicted myself from this apartment last Thursday. I have 24 days left before I have to move out due to an incident where I called the property management peeps because he was blaring his shitty music again. He proceeded to pound very loudly on the ceiling after hanging up with the rental agency when they told him to turn it down. A half hour later he blared his shitty music again, so I called the cop... boy did he go berserk banging on his floor again the moment the cop pulled out of the driveway. He called the B/F and I homos, faggots, and motherfuckers. Like he has room to talk.

And I quote myself:
2. He collects social security from the government to do nothing, while he is very capable of working since he does under the table work for the landlord. He even cleaned this apartment before I moved in.
The landlord can pay the fucker under the table and not have to worry about paying things like social security tax. He makes more money off of fucker than he does me. The girls at the rental agency (from what I gather) want to evict him, but the landlord won't let them. He has complaints from every tenant in this joint except his bitch next door.

Is there not such a thing as a tenant tribunal where you live?
Or is it better to leave the trash with the trash?
Then again, you may just want to lynch the landlord...

More Reasons I Hate The Fat Fuck Upstairs:
the boyfriend created these.
11) He calls the landlord and tells them that we blast music every night even though one of us is in bed and the other is not even home.
12) HE WALKS LIKE HE HAS A FUCKING BASEBALL BAT JAMMED UP HIS ASS.
13) He says fuck every other word out of his mouth
14) He's from NYC
15) He vacuum cleans his apt like it's going out of style
16) (As a funny, since Sean's a smartass) He makes my b/f look like the straightest person on Earth.
