Tumblr Soundbox What? →
I’m really excited about this feature. Would someone please tell me what “Type “listen” on the Dashboard to activate it” means? I can’t find anywhere to type. Was the feature put up and pulled down all while I was offline on vacation? Shucks.

LOOK 586 Mondrian Edition Bike Frame →
This is kind of neat in a mildly garish Euro-pro way. My first “serious” bike was a Look and Greg Lemond was the first pro I knew anything about. At the time the amount I spent on the bike seemed like a huge fortune. 18 years later the total I paid for that complete bike wouldn’t even buy me half of this $4500 frame. Of course, my Look frame was also a piece of junk that...
