Master of Death

Today's tagline deserves an explanation. I came out of my bedroom this morning to Nick saying "I lost a brifter last night". The ratcheting mechanism on the rear shifter is indeed non-operational. After objecting to any thought of the 243 going downtown, I had a shower, made up a Bialetti, threw on Dimmu's Enthrone Darkness Triumphant, and helped him lock the rear derailleur in his gear of choice. It's 8:15, and he's now on the way to work with a ghetto two-speed.
