I look to celebrities for sartorial splendor.

Yay!
Oh and more Yay! I just moved to Marlborough MA.
It is about 40 minutes from Boston... The Mid-West feels like a distant memory of some vaguely recollected nightmare. It is only now moving back to civilization that I realize quite how shit it was.
The trails here are awesome, rocky, rooty loveliness. Most everyone is riding some full suspension wonder bike and I seem to get some funny looks turning up on the rigid fixie. "Dude that thing has no rear brake". No shit. I think maybe I will get something a bit less punishing, but looking at those bikes with all the cables and gears, lockouts and seat-droppers makes me think that I would rather be pedaling than dealing with all that crap. Then again I hear that the Outlaw is betraying the SS brotherhood, perhaps I should reconsider? I guess I need to find one of those pictures of the blue-eyed devil giving the two handed single finger salute...

Ha, speaking of gears, I built up a Vaya with sprokets and rings galore. Did a 320 miler that hit PA, MD, VA, DC, and WV, including a jaunt along the roads through Michaux State Forest. Lots of climbing with 10-11% grades and panniers fore and aft makes gears a necessity, unfortunately. But I reserve this bike strictly for those kinds of rides.
Still can't seem to find the sweet spot among all those choices, though...
Congrats on the move; sounds sweet. That's a beautiful area, man.
