stripped, primered about 4 layers, white base coat layer, 4 or 5 blue coats, and a clear coat on top of it
it isnt the strongest paint in the world, but it seems to have worked pretty well. and all the spots that i thought were troublesome smoothed out really well when i started putting the color coats on
im going to ride her on thursday, hopefully it wont be pouring too much

It's amazing how much nicer it is to ride a bike with straight wheels. thanks sean.
/**Insert joke about the wheels being straighter than the rider here*/
No worries. Your wheel looked way worse than it actually was. The fact that I was able to true it without swearing (much) and holding either a beer or my daughter should attest to that.
One of the things forgot to tell you (but did do) was after you get done working on a wheel, it's always a good idea to stress it.
I can explain the physics of this if you are curious, or you can just accept the fact that it's a good idea.

aaron always loves it when people bring lots of fat tire beer. LOTS of it
Thanks ya'll for brining the brewskis. Fat Tire used to be a really good beer. I mean it used to have much more body and flavor. But now that it is effing everywhere it is much more of a tame beer. Redhook IPA used to be good but got really watered down. I like IPA and Stout you asshats. I want my beer wild like my women! Did I say women, I menat WOMAN. PBR is to beer what Vanilla Ice is to Rap music.
Here are the type of beers that will get you the best bike repair.
Anything from:
Stone
LaConnor
Bison Creek
Fish
Belgium
Sierra Nevada
etc.
or anything with the label IPA or STOUT except Guinness or Red Hook.
I will get you all trained!

Yeah, my favorite beer of all time is green PBR on St. Patty's day.
NO fuck that I am just kidding. My 2 favorite beers of all time are Bison Creek Stout and Rouge Shakespear Stout. I also like any kind of Barley Wine. High on my list is anything from the crazy guys at Dogfish Head

If you sweat a bunch and and drink tons and tons of water, you can make your self sick. You need a beverage that's mostly water, but also has some carbohydrates and minerals.
PBR isn't beer, it's a quality sports beverage.

And according to Greg, you get great MPG out of beer.
So if PBR=Gasoline what does Stout = ?

I'm all about the stout (Bison Chocolate or Sheaf Stout) or Glenlivet. Have an 18 year old bottle at home I've been slowly working on.
Can't do foo-foo girlie drinks. If I'm drinking hard liquor, I need to taste the alcohol. Otherwise, alcohol stops being a mood-enhancer and becomes a general anesthetic/emetic.
