no, they aren't made with 753 anymore, and their custom lugs are kinda
goofy with the integrated cable guides, and they don't come with proper
fluted seatstay caps or horizontal dropouts, but waterford
lugged frames are good and a good value these days. you can get
downtube shifter bosses and simple lugs and a nice paintjob. this is
not serotta with shitty, overpriced frames; this is a company that will
be around a while. they are the only lugged contract builder/factory in
the united states and do great work for rivendell and boulder bikes and
others i'm sure. i'm also sure that richard schwinn isn't wringing
money out of the company so he can have a music room or huge bmw. how
can you tell? their frames cost less than most every custom builder out
there. they are committed to lugs and steel. they are the
anti-serotta. fuck yeah.
$26,000 a year.
that's the median income last year. with median household income at
$49000 a year, the next time some says that families making
$250,000
a year are struggling, tell them to kindly go fuck themselves. with
wage structures like this, our economy will always be fucked. folks
making $26,000 a year each are not saving anything for the future and
are spending every single cent they make just to get through another
week. everyone, even the miserable koch brothers, suffers when much of
our country is so close to poverty. we are a stupid nation and we
deserve what we are going to get sooner or later.
you really need to support the best band ever and get their new record.
or cd. or 8-track. something. it's an album that begs for repeat
listenings. it's an ambitious and coherent record. it takes some of
the themes familiar on the last few albums and expands them and expands
upon them. the complete, 8-mekon lineup sounds energized and involved.
it's amazing how much of an anchor lu edmonds and his electric saz are
now. just as big a part of the band's sound as suzy's violin or rico's
accordion. it's an outstanding addition to the rock 'n roll formula.
looks like we won't have them to
kick around much longer. still, when the owner's
house
is up for sale $1.1 million, you might want to consider buying a bike
from someone not so interested in selling over-priced bikes to subsidize
an extravagant lifestyle. if he wasn't so interested in living like a
robber baron, perhaps the ti frames wouldn't cost 3 times what some
better custom ti frames cost. assholes. i'm sure he's already squeezed
as much cash out of the company as he can for himself; the workers will
have to settle for unemployment. for
a million and a half you can buy the serotta factory. how the fuck did they think they could sell 5000 bikes a year??
i know they deserve to die for not having a proper manual transmission available in the new 9-5 aero, but if somebody doesn't buy the company, i'm not gonna be able to get my desired car: a 6-speed manual 9-5 with the hirsch performance upgrade
and better-spec interior, fjord blue or metallic black with the black
leather interior and all the options. chop chop motherfrakkers.
this is a
liberal? no, of course not, but according the
new york times
and national public radio, he is. for the record, bork was no
intellectual; he was a movement conservative, narrow-minded and
ignorant. rather than his denial being a low-water mark for american
politics, it was instead a pattern that the senate democrats should have
maintained in later years to keep the current crop of dim-witted
reactionary retards, scalia, thomas, roberts, alito, off the court.
america would be a better place today if the borking was a rule instead
of an exception.
well, not the koch brothers funding part. and not the hysterical
ill-informed denials. and not the political bullshit, but the fact the
the koch-suckers thought they were buying a brain-dead, climate-denying hack, and instead bought a reasonably thoughtful scientist is pretty fucking funny.
