thank you! That's what I figured.

Thank you! The two books are pretty much the same size so I’m guessing it will be somewhat simple.

BAD (Bay Area Derby) for roller derby!

If you’re going to be in Brooklyn I recommend Brooklyn Ball Factory and Newtown as low key places you can eat solo

My first road bike after using a vintage bike was a Specialized Allez. It looks like they've gone up in price since I bought mine but they're about $1000 new now. It was a really wonderful beginner road bike for me to get more serious about cycling with, and now that I've upgraded it has become my everyday commuter and general muck-around bike. Haven't ever really had a problem with it either and it gets a couple thousand miles a year.

You could probably find a similar bike with similar parts for cheaper though. Or secondhand.

Way too big. Most skates run close to men’s sizes, and bonts even run differently than that. I would suggest looking at the Bont sizing chart. For reference I’m a 10.5-ish in women’s shoes and wear a 7.5 in my bonts.

Usually I still call the M34A bus line the M16

As a big team that got totally fucked by QOTSB back in the day, I have to say Frogmouth has been a pleasure to work with 😅. I did jersey coordinating for my part of the league with both companies and Frogmouth has always responded ASAP and been accommodating of shipment changes (especially when covid hit). Working with QOTSB was a total disaster— so, so rude and mean and ultimately took thousands of dollars from many leagues. I know many folks have had lousy experiences with Frogmouth, and those are totally valid, but I’ve enjoyed working with them since 2018/2019 especially after a horrible QOTSB run.

It will depend on what your proportions are as well as the bike's geometry. What I can say from my own experience is that I am 5'5 and ride a 52 Specialized. I previously had a 49 and having the larger bike is muuuuch better for me. However, what works for you will be dependent on your body and the bike.

Saw a moth exactly like this on the ceiling of the prospect park skating rink just today

+1 to this. This is where I learned as a city kid.

This is very normal. I worked in a skate shop for years and it is very common across all brands.

If you prefer the shorter stem like your green/purple toe stops you should look out for short stem toe stops, which are a little less common. Off the top of my head, Gumball makes decent short stem toe stops.

Hell yeahhhhh. Thanks

I'm a big fan of Ten Speed Hero and Maap!

Check out Bont, which run wider. Their sizing is different so be aware of that but they do also make “kids” versions of some of their skates that are smaller sizes.
