Should I build another bike?

Y/y

I am struggling with this math, the fundamental principle of bikes is n+1 with all other equations derived from there. I just can't see 4 being an acceptable solution.

Small hop at the seam but when in life do you not experience that?

Rim laced into hub

I am going to put it on the stand later tonight but all laced up!

I am reading The Baseball 100 right now, I did not know this one existed I will be reading it next though

Bowman Chrome Meteoric Rise Refractor. Nomar Garciaparra finishing a swing, watching the ball bomb off into left field.

56 days until Opening Day.....which is the number of home runs Nomar once hit in a single season.

2020 Topps Xander Bogaerts, red refractor, 1986 style. Baseball man batting

What I find most interesting about this card, like a lot from 2021, is the empty stands in the background.

1999 SP Signature Nomar Garciaparra, PSA 6, 9 on the auto.

PSA 6? Well I guess it makes sense, that is the number of SF bunts Nomar had in his career.

This would be a great time to learn how to build wheels. I am not sure if you can swap the freehub bodies, but in order to swap the hubs, a few dimensions would have to match otherwise there might be issues with incorrect spoke length.

Topps Pristine Nomar Garciaparra refractor, encased. Nomar finishing his swing while watching the ball go flying off into the outfield, Red Sox logo as the superimposed backdrop. Shiny.

There are 71 days until MLB opening day...which is exactly how many triples Nomar Garciaparra had in his career.

Rafael Devers relic card, big piece of 1st base with a MLB holo sticker. Touch by Bobby Dalbec, Christian Vasquez, Jackie Bradley jr, Rob Refsnyder, Alex Verdugo, Xander, and Trevor Story. And probably some other players too.

I know I know

But look at that game used base, a piece of first base from June 19th, 2022. It's huge!!

Bobby Dalbec touched it, so it has that going for it.

It is busy, I am not sure I am going to keep it in the slab either. I have the matching one, #50, from that set without the coat and it does look a lot better.

Nomar Garciaparra baseball card, gold refractor, die-cut. PSA 8.

Our Team by Luke Epplin with a 1950 Bowman Larry Doby SGC 1. I will not be using the baseball card as a bookmark, that would be silly, in this case.

New book......new bookmark?
