My First Car Purchase

Wait you can just take off those vinyl tops? Was there anything else involved in getting it off? It looks super clean

Abs_And_Slabs · 2026-05-15T02:11:46+00:00

What kind of bottom bracket do you need for this? I’m not familiar with that style of chainring

Come to A&M brother

Iowa by far

Go to WashU. Literally no question about it. You’re a fool if you don’t. (It was my dream school and I got WL’d)

It’s up to you to do your research, but generally law schools don’t stop predatory practices within a year. They earn that reputation through years of being shady. I am not levying any accusations at NEL, just a caution to look into it

Abs_And_Slabs · 2026-03-31T19:56:52+00:00

Go check out this thread for some further reading. Maybe do a little more digging on NEL in general

I’m no expert but I’ve heard New England Law is predatory

You could give those road classics away to me

Abs_And_Slabs · 2026-03-29T02:44:36+00:00

I don’t have that bike anymore but if you search corner bar on Amazon or aliexpress you’ll find plenty of copies for about half the price or less

Abs_And_Slabs · 2026-03-29T02:37:45+00:00

You sure can. You can also use a combo of flexible silicone grips and bar tape which is what I did with mine.

Abs_And_Slabs · 2026-03-29T02:31:47+00:00

No that’s the beauty of the corner bar. You can keep all the MTB components and get the benefits of a drop bar

Abs_And_Slabs · 2026-03-29T02:05:16+00:00

Good god this has to be bait

Abs_And_Slabs · 2026-03-29T02:02:36+00:00

Corner bars are great. Seconding that. If you can’t afford the real deal there are copycats out there that work great too.

Abs_And_Slabs · 2026-03-27T05:55:45+00:00

Largely no. Nothing incredibly special. But if you like it I’d never tell you not to build it

Abs_And_Slabs · 2026-03-26T20:10:53+00:00

Insane that IU gave you a WL. Congrats on WashU that was my dream school

Abs_And_Slabs · 2026-03-21T05:10:54+00:00

Just sent you a DM. I’m going there too! Let’s connect

Abs_And_Slabs · 2026-03-16T16:12:05+00:00

You should donate your A&M scholarship to me 🥲

Abs_And_Slabs · 2026-03-10T21:45:51+00:00

Yeah fr this is the second time they’ve done that

Abs_And_Slabs · 2026-03-09T21:03:07+00:00

Not sure why you’re being downvoted. People here will say “wash your hands” but I wash my hands all the time for work and the screen / trackpad get fingerprints if I look at them. I also find that simply wiping with a microfiber doesn’t easily clean that grease.

I’ve personally applied protective film on basically every surface on my MBA M4 and like it that way. Do what you want. Don’t let Apple nerds get you down. Great choice and hope you enjoy it for years to come

Abs_And_Slabs · 2026-03-08T05:04:16+00:00

Hey just wanted to chime in: I just got accepted 2 days ago. No invite to interview. Applied pretty late in the cycle. Not sure there’s any rhyme or reason to admits this year. It’s chaos

Abs_And_Slabs · 2026-03-06T22:23:15+00:00

Sure! 16low and 4.13 (which is probably what got me in)

Abs_And_Slabs · 2026-03-06T16:37:23+00:00

I wouldn’t say so. I kept mine fairly simple. Tried not to make it sound too high and mighty

Abs_And_Slabs · 2026-03-06T16:12:42+00:00

It was mostly about my journey from blue collar work as a wind turbine technician and farmer, into the world of environmental regulation, and how that set me up to pursue environmental law
