Busy off-"season"

Sorry but also not sorry, but my brain space is being eaten up with my occupation, dealing with the overwhelming sadness that my free time after work is just darkness, selling bike parts (PITA), and my 32" wheeled single speed dreams and calculations.

I've been somewhat consumed with the idea of this bike not being heavy.  The frame will be slightly heavier with a longer rear end but also lighter because Vassago is phasing out the titanium plate(s) at the front of the chain stays.  Anyhoo, it's caused me to compare some apples and oranges, and some googling and some mathing. 

Like how much will a slightly longer Industry Nine system wheel spoke weigh... multiplied by sixty four... plus the weight difference of a known stock Hydra II system wheel rim and the Nextie crabon fiber Unicorns... plus the increase in tire weight (or in the case of the front tire, less weight)... minus the reduction in rotor weight...

Had to take the spoke to work to weigh it because I don't have a coke dealer precision scale at home.

All that to figure out that the wheels (tires, rotors, sealant, etc.) on my current Optimus are within a scoop or two of TruckerCo sealant away from being a negligible wash on the Biggus Dickus future bike?

And it will weigh much less than the set up I had on the Radimus... which saw their last ride this past weekend on the Optimmus.

Despite thinking I'd use the wheels from the Radimus as backups and winter wheels, I don't think I wanna sling these beefy Minions around anymore.  In both aspects, I am reluctant to give up this dual security blanket, but...

No regerts.

I'm going to just sell them, knowing that I don't need backup wheels when I have backup bikes at my disposal (and nice frands who would let me borrow Boost wheels in a pinch).

Oh yeah, so the continuation of three stupid titanium single speeds, but soon enough, all with incompatible with each other wheels.

Speaking of smrt...

I also sold the beep boop robot shifters that have been sitting in a box since... sometime in 2023?  I was only holding on to them "in case."  Mebbe I take a trip out west or wanna do something with a geared mountain bike... but they've been in a box for more than two years?

Guess I just like single speeds and long walks up big mountains.

Also having some more hundreds of dollars to dump into the big dumb bike is nice.
  
Moving forward and standing still at the same time...
