It rides like any bike with tight clearances, seriously. It has pleasant road manners, is rather compliant. If you ask me about bottom bracket stiffness I’ll kick you in the groin and ask you to forget what you’ve read in this magazine in the past and accept you can make your own judgements about what it means to trim a front derailleur and ride a bike down the street while chewing gum at the same time. Tight clearances means you can’t put fenders on this retro-for the sake of retro looking bike. It’s great for daily riding in AZ, SoCal, and for agoraphobics everywhere! Nor can you slap on bigger tires to tame all that bad pavement that’s coming to an area near you as the state and local governments run out of federal highway repair dollars (tax cuts!). Never mind that the best riding is had on roads that don’t get a ton of traffic and the worst pavement tends to be on drivers avoid like the plague or $800 auto repair bills.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Parts is parts. Okay everyone, huddle up. You might not know this but a steel frame like this Raleigh will likely outlast its original owner. Ergo, the parts that c10 years, at which time the new owner can slap on anything they or she may have laying around.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">When I was out riding this bike with my professional rider friends I got dropped. Before you call me an out of shape douche, let me ask: How many of you have friends who are professional athletes? Ok, so shut up. So I got dropped. But it had NOTHING to do with my bike, because blaming your bike when you get dropped is an EXCUSE for not riding enough to keep up next time. Because my bike weighs more than their bikes means I get to get in shape faster and when I drop them after two months of hard training all they're going to be able to do is take more drugs. I got dropped because those guys are fast and they take their "vitamins" every day. Since “chamois time is training time,” and I have to write to earn my bread, I could blame this Raleigh Record Ace, but in truth it’s the bread. I like sandwiches and damn, they put on the pounds when paired with a blah blah blahd not descend faster than any other bike I ride, contrary to what all the other magazines may tell you.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">SIZE WE TESTED 57cm (c to c) with a 68mm bb drop *</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">PRICE $1800</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">WEIGHT 2 and ⅔ gallons of 2% milk</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">FRAME lugged for what it’s worth</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">stay tuned for more steel bikes never coming soon!</span></b></div>Jromehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13434565342538166415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11830362.post-76990091713859793082012-06-29T10:09:00.001-07:002012-06-29T10:09:46.441-07:00Utterment on current events<p class="mobile-photo"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-j1RAD32MgaE/T-3hXCJjbeI/AAAAAAAAAqM/KOjGq3ZDYaQ/s1600/photo-786442.JPG"><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-j1RAD32MgaE/T-3hXCJjbeI/AAAAAAAAAqM/KOjGq3ZDYaQ/s320/photo-786442.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5759507284306914786" /></a></p>Jromehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13434565342538166415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11830362.post-33497301620184993872012-02-13T21:04:00.001-08:002012-02-13T21:10:55.026-08:00music<br />

Fifty-two words comprise the entirety of this book. In the context of the year 2011, these words contain far deeper meaning than their definitions can reveal, because these are the words that ranked among the most salient lemmas (root words and proper names) tracked by <a href="http://utterment.com/" target="_blank" title="Utterment">Utterment.com</a> for the entire year. Utterment is a web-based computer application that quite simply tracks words that matter to us the most. In more formal language, Utterment provides frequent periodical analysis of trends among lemmas in the English language as they occur within a real-time corpus. The primary purpose of Utterment is to assist human beings discovering, reading, comprehending, and weighing in on the most important news of the moment. Secondarily, Utterment enables ongoing lexicographical research with its large and unique database of up-to-date English language data, including word frequencies, trends, and associated source metadata. Utterment’s corpus contains more than 200 news sources from which millions of pages of content are continually distilled to calculate salient rankings.<br />
<br />
To create this book using Utterment's data resources, I first culled lemmas of the highest salient rank for each day of the year from among millions of words tracked over the course of the year. I then looked into the evidence of highly salient lemmas clustered around single newsworthy events in order to select only those lemmas whose evidence revealed the salient aspects of a news story in as few sentences as possible. Lastly, I edited the evidence for aptness and brevity. For word nerds, each of the 52 words spent at least one day near the top of the salient rankings, while the majority recorded high salient scores for more than a single day. Many words trended for weeks, a few for months.<br />
<br />
The number 52 was selected arbitrarily, partly for its association with the number of weeks in a year, but far more importantly with the belief that anyone, even a child, could read a history book with just 52 words in it. PARENTS PLEASE NOTE: Not all news stories appearing among the evidence are suitable for children, so adults please read along with your child to answer their questions and make certain your child accesses articles that are appropriate to their age. It is my hope that this book will provide insight into the human experience of 2011 for many years to come, and engender an empathic response for readers of all ages as they search for insight into the human condition.<br />
<br />
While I combed evidence to make sure the links to the original articles worked, if you find a broken link, please let me know by sending me a tweet (<a href="http://twitter.com/jrome" target="_blank" title="Jerome Haines">@jrome</a>). In nearly all cases I selected only a tiny percentage of the evidence for a particular lemma, because an exhaustive list would have made for repetitive storytelling and ultimately dull reading.<br />
<br />
Lastly, this book is dedicated to my wife Nikki. I would not have been able to see Utterment through without her unflinching and unparalleled support. Thanks also to <a href="http://twitter.com/mdcclv" target="_blank" title="Orion Buckminster Montoya">Orion Buckminster Montoya</a>, <a href="http://www.totalcardboard.com/blogs/author/john-mansfield/" target="_blank" title="John Basil's blog">John Mansfield</a>, and <a href="http://twitter.com/mrkgre" target="_blank" title="Mark Greene">Mark Greene</a> for their work in making Utterment a truly remarkable project.

History continues into tomorrow.<br />
