Today has been one of the most amazing days of my life. What has been for me a very stressful week with mid terms has just become something amazing. Today after class I made my way back to my dorm and checked my mail. I found a notice from the university that I had received and oversized package to be picked up. Excited I ran over to the university mail center and picked up my box, it was massive! After lugging it back to my room I inspected it closer, who could it be from?
Why, it has been sent by none other than our friend Evan Byrne. I had not bought anything from Evan nor paid any sort of shipping costs - this was a gift! Delighted I began opening the box to find it was stuffed to the brim with foam packing peanuts. On the very top I find a bag titled “Bag 'O Bags” which seems to contain some neat things:
Upon opening the bag I find it contains a few smaller bags containing numerous goods:
This bag was labeled Bag 'O Goodies, I seemed to have cut from the wrong image - It contained a DNA seatpost clamp, a QR clamp, A device to steal air pressure from other tires, spoke wrenches and a small tube patching kit.
“Wow, This is some really cool stuff” I thought to myself. It was awesome of Evan to send me this. I continued rummaging through the packing peanuts and came upon these pedals - nice:
After finding the pedals I come to another bag full of awesome things:
Amazing! A SW deathgrip handle, a green fushion street cover, the new extra-thick nimbus seatpost, a steel seatpost, a brand new KH handle and bumper, and finally a spare seat stiffener plate.
I had purchased a kh trials rim from him during the summer. About being sponsored by EB unicycles, yeah we’ve joked around about that a bit haha. I’m still in shock by how awesome all of this stuff is and by the fact that someone is kind enough to just give it away.
Thats pertneer the same setup I was thinking of getting to replace my current 26, well the wheel and frame part anyway. Hows the clearance with the marge?
edit: good on ya Evan for the amazing show of good will and generosity!
Its not quite as out of the blue as brian described, I had posted it for sale and shortly there after decided to give it to brian. He knew it was coming but not quite all that was in the box. Since I was quiting unicycling i figured I don’t need the money for another uni so why not give it to someone who will ride it into the ground.
just noticed that in your avatar you are holding the saddle with your right hand, if you don’t want that left handed death grip I’d be willing to give it a good home.
who said anything about his writing hand? most people who ride left hand on the saddle are right handed, but that’s not the point. look at brian’s avatar, he’s in the air holding his saddle with his right hand.
I read it like this at first.
I must have a dirty mind:p
Evan - have you tried phys therapy and a shoulder brace. I’ve heard of new exercises and suplements that can strengthen the muscles and ligaments that hold everything in place.
If you don’t like the prognosis, ask another docor, and another until you find one who knows how to combat the dislocations.
