(via cycleangelo):
Today was probably the best I’ve felt for the past week, so I randomly decided to put the spandex and SIDIs on and head to Prospect Park. After three laps, I headed back to Greenpoint, and managed to catch an amazing Sunday Sunset at the East River Park on the way home. Sometimes solo steez is the way to go.
Bike Update | New (old) Front Wheel
I decided to swap one of my DA22s onto my fixie, as my road bike has died (long story) and probably won’t be used until I sell it later this year. The bike now flies with that new wheel, and it’s much easier to steer/swerve at speed.
Sidebar: I apologise for the shitty quality of the photo; lighting was bad and my phone’s camera isn’t amazing, but it does the job.
I’ve not really done anything to my other bike for a while, as the UK winter this/last year was brutal and I hardly rode at all. Now that the weather is on the up though, I thought I’d start working on the project bike again.
I bought a set of Shimano SPD mountain bike/commuter pedals for the bike, which work real great with my Shimano shoes I got for Christmas. I trashed my road bike in a nasty accident in November last year, and I’m hunting for a new one for this summer; RIP to my faithful Giant. Seeing as it won’t be ridden ever again, I moved the (beat to shit) saddle onto this bike. It’s a Specialized Tritip which has been an excellent racing saddle for a couple of years. I also got bored of my drops, so decided to take a hax saw to them and create a nice set of bullhorns:
I think these look sick, and I’ve also moved my lovely ITM Racer stem across from my road bike.
New things to purchase for the project bike in the coming weeks:
