  1. I'm looking to sell my turntable. $480 plus shipping.

    Pro-Ject Speed Box II
    A spare Ortofon OMB5E stylus

  2. First off, I realize that there is already a thread on screen printing but seeing as this is coming from a different angle I figured it would be best to not invade that thread and start a new one.

     

    Now onto my question.  Anyone have any recommendations on how to make a screen printing set up in your homes? Any tips on the best supplies and things like that?  Also how much did the initial cost of everything come out to being?  Thanks dudes.

  3. At the time it came out I didn't really know anything so I thought the Wind Up record was pretty rad.  Going back to it now I'm not much of a fan of it. I still think it's better than Misery Index, I just hate how that record sounds.  Every thing else is solid though.  Never got a chance to see them live.

  4. Not to mention that aerospokes have the bad habit of cracking easily.  Not made for street riding and not worth the money. 

     

    How much are you looking to spend?

     

    Velocity Deep V's are nice, and strong, rims that also have the flashy look. 

     

    Sugino and All City make nice cranksets.

     

    Phil Wood and Dia-Compe are the two big names that get thrown around a lot when it comes to hubs and bottom brackets but they set you back a good chunk of change.  There's a lot of debate about whether or not they are actually worth the money/better than other brands but I will say Phill Wood stuff lasts forever.

     

    IRD and Chris King headsets are solid.

     

    Honestly there are so many brands making components now a days it's tough to keep up.  I'd recommend going into a bike shop that specializes in fixed gear stuff and ask them a ton of questions.

  5. You make my points for me. I said you can have a healthy body on a vegan diet. But you pretty much CANNOT put on size without a calorie surplus. And any diet that makes you go from 210 to 180 is the opposite of a calorie surplus. I'm making assumptions about you, but from the info posted, you probably had a decent amount of muscle underneath some flab, the vegan diet and a calorie deficit allowed you to cut the flab, and now you look toned and are keeping the muscle mass by eating protein rich vegan foods. Totally cool and the right move for you. I eat much more veggies when trying to cut pounds too. There are plenty of other people in a different boat (weighing in at 150 pounds) who will never be able to put on size on a vegan diet.

    I never claimed to exhaustively list vegan foods with protein in them. Correct, beans and some grains have protein in them. But I happen to have a bag of lentils at home. The entire bag (I want to say this would be at least 10 bowls) has about 100 grams of protein. Same as 2 cans of tuna fish. It's definitely possible to get a maintenance level of protein out of a vegan diet (obviously, since vegans don't die of malnutrition and some are pretty fit/ripped). It's pretty hard to impossible (given numbers like what I posted above and echoing Rambo's comments) to get a protein surplus, which is a necessity sometimes depending on your goals.

    And the soy - estrogen thing is real:

    Look at the references -- Cornell and various state universities. How destructive soy estrogens are to male testosterone levels is something that is debated. My viewpoint -- I sure as hell am not going to eat a food that is linked by any science to decreased testosterone. It is already hard enough to be strong. I don't need my diet working against me.

    IF I were to go vegan, though, I would probably take a soy protein supplement. It would be choosing the lesser of two evils between having enough protein and soy estrogens. And soy protein is the best form of veggie protein (which is why they sell it at the grocery store and not tubs of bean or grain protein).

    You said none of that in your post. Your post can be summed up in the following points, I'm big and strong and I work hard at it, vegetables have 0 protein, soy has estrogen in it therefor it=woman=tits.

    Now I was actually a very unfit 210 with little strength. I'm stocky and have large legs and ass, just the way I'm built. Helps biking my ass up the hills that Seattle is known for. I'm 180 with more muscle and less flab for sure and my overall conditioning has gone way up but I'm not "there" yet in a body building sense. That's the goal I'm going to be working towards. I know plenty of people who are 150 and regardless of the dietary preferences won't ever get big. Mostly because they won't put the work in it. Like you said, it's a lot of work and a calorie surplus is absolutely needed. You act as though it's literally impossible to get a surplus on a vegan diet. You make the point that your two cans of tuna has the same amount of protein as your lentils. Vegans, as far as I've ever seen, get their totally daily needed amounts over the course of a day. Not in large chunks like most meat eaters.

    I didn't say you were wrong about estrogen in soy, I said your argument was silly. The vast majority of animals are fed a diet of almost entirely soy, corn, and antibiotics. How much of that estrogen is being absorbed into that meat do you think? Studies have already shown that the amount of antibiotics that animals consume are starting to have an adverse reaction to the humans who consume it. Not only that but your making the claim that soy is the only way to get protein efficiently. Like anything else you shouldn't be getting your entire needed amount of protein, minerals, vitamins, whatever, from one source. That's simple isn't healthy.

    You CANNOT put on size with a vegan diet? These people would say you're wrong

  6. Considering going vegetarian. Question for you all who have made the switch to go meatless. Do you feel a difference?

    I feel way different. I don't feel sick after I eat, unless I over eat. I have more energy, I shit regularly and normally. I almost never get sick. I would get sick constantly even when I was vegetarian. After going vegan I've been sick three times in a year. Two of those times have been recently while I've been working two jobs, not getting enough sleep, and eating poorly. Eat right and exercise and you'll feel amazing. It sounds silly to say but I feel lighter. My food doesn't sit in my gut and make me feel gross. Before going veg I was 210lbs and I'm just over 5'7". Now I sit at a comfortable 175-180lbs. I have the energy to ride my bike. My sex life is better, my skin is better. I'm not a typical skin and bones vision of what a vegan is and I'm in the process of getting even healthier with hard work outs at the gym. Going vegan has been anything but negative for me and I recommend it to everyone.

  7. I like being big and strong (work very hard at it), no protein in veggies, and soy turns into estrogen in the body (and I don't want bitch titties). So I eat meat.

    You have no idea what you're talking about. Vegetables do contain protein as do lentils, beans, and various grains. The soy argument is incredibly silly, what do you think is fed to the animals you eat? Aside from the fact that you can be completely vegan without soy if one chooses to do so.
