Subject: [CR]Murhpys' Law in Action/ Track cogs

Gang,

Thanks to all who responded regarding track cogs. Many suggested the Euro-Asia Imports cogs. I got one of each 17T and 18T and they are indeed excellent.

As Murphys' Law dictates; as soon as the new cogs arrived, one day later the missing cogs surface at the bottom of a box that was "nested" with two other boxes on top of it. A box of telephone cords and junk turns out to also contain 25(!!) assorted Campagnolo and SunTour track cogs. I feel RICH! I might as well have found a box of diamonds. Also a selection of single speed freewheels from 15 to 20 teeth! WOW! I can sleep now.

I am now prepared to attend Le Cirque with a properly outfitted fixed gear road bike. Nothing quite like the pure simplicity of a fixie on the road, with brakes naturally. I hope the weather co-operates; I'm really looking forward to riding out there.

It is very easy for me to "hide" from people while on their wheel on this bike because it is so small and low. It has earned me two fond nicknames amongst my friends; some call me "the gnat" and others refer to me as "the invisable man". Personally, I don't see what's wrong with "wheelsucker"!
