So monday I dropped my bike off at Revolution Cycles in Georgtown. Unfortunately BPS was backed up for days and I had no choice. $160 to fix everything. Not too bad I figured.
So tuesday I get a call saying my bike is ready, but also that I fucked up my wheels. Dented the back rim and the damaged spokes in my front wheel caused a hop in the wheel. So now I am looking at getting a new wheelset. Both Bert and Nick recommended that I go with "MAVIC Open Pro rims, 32 spokes on each wheel, Shimano hubs (Ultegra or 105)." $350 - $450, but they will also last me a heck of a lot longer than my original wheels did. Then again, my original wheels would have lasted longer if I did crash :P
I was going to pick up the bike today but it was raining and seeing that I can't walk at any decent speed with my leg like it is from the crash, I decided that I shall delay until tomorrow.
I did however make an amazing non-cycling discovery today. As some of you may know, I am a Tuba player and a hardcore band geek, so I absolutely fell in love with this when I found it.

This guy is amazing. Modern music written for orchestras. I will definitely be blasting orchestral Party In The USA and others on my way to the beach this summer.
