[...] Fine, fine, let’s go back to the bike I just bought. I know, to you it seems crazy that I would buy a bike that I was virtually guaranteed I could have as a free loaner. [...]

[...] Goal: Do the stuff I told Travis Ott I would do in order to get that Superfly: A while back, I asked Fisher Bikes brand manager Travis Ott to give me a Fisher Superfly. He said he would, but gave me his own set of conditions. Most of those conditions are going to have to wait until Spring, but I still plan to do them. [...]

[...] You may remember a few weeks ago that I wrote about bloggers making ‘the big time’ in my post entitled Fatty has officially got my vote for coolest free shit due to blogging. If you follow fatcyclist.com at all, you probably saw his post a few weeks back where he wrote a letter to Travis Ott requesting a “Gary Fisher Superfly”:http://www.fisherbikes.com/bike/model/superfly. Although I cannot say that a 29er geared bike would have been my first choice, I still commend him for going straight for the jugular (mmm, carbon. . . ). Well, lo and behold, that sonofabitch got a reply. Not just a reply, but a new list of equally strange terms (with some really good ones thrown in, like taking local kids for a mountain bike ride). Bottom line: the guy got a bike. Not just a bike, but a beautiful carbon fiber piece of work. I tip my beer tonight to fatty, because not only does he write a mean blog, but he scored big (even if for just 3 months) because of it. Good on ya. I guess on the bright side for me, even if I’m not that entertaining, I’ve got a nice long track record. I think I’ve posted the link before, but if you want to see some full-on, old-school blogging, just check out where it all started. My email address has a @3dmobility.com at the end of it because that was my original location on this great “series of tubes”:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Series_of_tubes. So, without further adieu, here is the original 3dmobility.com from the The whole thing was hand coded by yours truly. I made all the graphics myself (check out the sweet logo in the upper-left), and programmed everything from the updates at the bottom (note the first one was 12/2001) to the blog (nathan’s journal) to the message board, gear reviews and photo gallery. I was a php/mysql madman. Wow, I think that little trip back in time just made me ill. College days for some involved late night drinking. College nights at RPI? Late night coding. Explains a lot, doesn’t it? On a website related note, you may have noticed I messed with the links in the sidebar. I decided that I’m not making any money off this thing, so I’m not super keen on giving any particular companies any particular plugs for free. I’d rather plug my fellow bloggers. That list is directly from my google reader list, so those are the guys that I read every time they post. Enjoy. Oh yeah, there’s also a theme switcher near the bottom of the sidebar. Now you can see handlebarsandwich.com in various shades of ugly while I try to decide on how I want to redesign the site (in case you’re wondering how to get back to the normal one, it’s called equix v1.1 and you should be able to make it back from all the different themes). I’m leaning towards a variation on agreyscale right now, but that also requires me to get my ass in gear and do some coding. We shall see. . . . And on that note, I’m off to bed in preparation for a day of hard drinking and even harder eating tomorrow. Peace out. [...]

That’s a really really ugly bike. Give it a few months, and it’ll be sooo discounted down at the bike Store, they’ll let you have one for volunteering to wash the bathroom…probably.
